Fair enough.
How about this - everything we can ever see or know about our environment is provided by our creator for our sole experience.
Frankly, I am not sure which is the more likely.
So it could be likely our Creator deems it likely we are ready for us to see what’s out there. What we do with that information/knowledge will be the interesting thing. For sure the evil beings that are politicians in all countries will screw it up if there are actually beings out there that have discovered our planet. They would perceive it as a threat and the world as we know it would be gone.
