Are aliens living among us?

Peter Boghossian presents the claim “Aliens are visiting earth” at Speakers’ Corner in London, engaging a woman and two men in a lively discussion. One participant asserts that aliens are not just visiting earth, but observe and intervene in human affairs. She claims that humans are like “fish in a fishbowl,” unaware of our captors. Another participant expresses skepticism about the existence of aliens, including the possibility of spacefaring extraterrestrial life. The skeptic has never watched Star Trek, which may be to his epistemological benefit.
