The first time I heard about aliens was watching that episode of The Simpsons where Mr burns wanders to the woods with a nightgown or playing Destroy All Humans (not sure which first). I didn't care at first, but later on in my 10 or 11 I began to listen to mysteries and conspiracies often, wondering what's the matter with them. They could be studying or using us or waiting for something to happen. Although Hollywood abused our imagination about this topic who knows what is the true nature and purpose of these beings?
