Introduction
Are aliens among us? or is this just a conspiracy?
Many people believe in the existence of aliens. Some think that they have been among us from ancient times, and there are many that believe that we are alone in the universe due to the location of our planet earth.
Nowadays, there are many people who have accounts that affirm that they have been in contact with aliens from other parts of the universe.
Other people believe that we are the aliens that have evolved from humans and are from the future.
Question:
Others have videos, but are they real or fake?
