My personal wish is that aliens are not here, as my incination is to be scared of them. Not to mention what public knowledge of such a thing could do to the stock market :-D
But seriesly, they could be around. I am not confident that what we consider to be the laws of physics are the final word on the subject.
"I occasionally think, how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask, is not an alien force already among us?"
