Not that hard to believe either. There is a civilization on Earth that the rest of us have agreed not to contact. [0] Occasionally they see our aircraft and we can only assume treat them as mythical beasts. Once someone tried to contact them and was killed.

Is it that hard to believe that our local aliens ignore us for the most part, that sometimes we see their spacecraft and mistake them for natural phenomena, and when one of them approaches illegally if they land in the wrong place they just get killed?

Except we're aware of them and they're aware of us.
