If we weigh the two up to see how they balance...
1. Aliens in our physical universe.
We exist in our universe, therefore we know other life forms realy can exist here too, in fact, given the number of galaxies, one would be foolish to believe we are the only ones!
2. Aliens from another dimension.
At this moment in time we have ZERO evidence of any life that might exist in (what could be nothing more than) an imaginary universe!
We think it might be possible for another universe to exist...and that's all we have!
There are real species of aliens from other galaxies who are made of dark matter and energy.
The only species that can travel intergalatically are those made of energy.
other species keep butting their heads in when earth is about to reach colony status.
You can't just create a sub-species and give them space travel without them figuring mathmatics and sciences a bit for themselves. similarly its been a while since humans have been fully fledged introduced to them
But Aliens are not spirits. Persay, To be merged with the underworld you need to go through a technological change of biology. It is sort of the same methods as how the brain generates a spirit but in this sense, the technology supercharges and fuses the particles together under immense pressures. To create something between 2 world between the realm of the dead and the realm of the living.

What??
You get all this from where?
MrPenny
They won't. You're trying to compare apples and oranges. "Aliens from another dimension" doesn't refer to some other universe with different physics. I'm referring to this universe with frames of reference that we cannot perceive. And we know life can exist in this universe, but with some limitations.
They exist in a universe of slightly different dimensions and physics that exists parallel to ours, and a multitude of others. Either their physics causes a breakdown between universes, or they've figured out how to manipulate the differences and from time-to-time their existence "bleeds" over into ours.
MrPenny
Sorry, I was being "poetic" in my description and referring to "universe" as a frame of reference. The intent is to describe a single universe, in which some lifeforms can perceive and manipulate dimensions we cannot. From our different frames of reference, it could appear to be different "universes".
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear enough with that; sorry.
MrPenny
They've always been here, they're not going anywhere, and in fact, we're practically rubbing elbows with them right this very moment. Who?...you say. "Aliens", or what is collectively referred to as aliens; greys, mantids....whatever is the FTOM.

One of the newest concepts in physics is M-Theory, a successor to string theory. The theory demands as many as 11 dimensions however, giving rise to as many as 7 dimensions that we cannot perceive. Doesn't mean some other type of life can't however. And it isn't a stretch to assume that the physics of a universe in which 5, 6, 7, or 8 physical dimensions are normal might appear preposterous and magical to us.
That's where they come from. Normally living in dimensions that we cannot perceive and every now and then taking a "joy ride" into our existence. Hence, the motions of "UFOs" that would pulp a human body, and the many other bizarre circumstance of their appearance.
String theory is a load of rubbish invented to try and force quantum mechanics and relativity to work together.
There is zero evidence to support it.

We don't need to invoke higher dimensions to explain alien visitation, they come from other planets in our 4D universe. We can't see them because they have outrageously good cloaking technology.
If you want to say higher dimensions exist then prove it.
Science doesn't need or require higher dimensions.
The idea of additional spatial dimensions comes from string theory, the only self-consistent quantum theory of gravity so far. It turns out that for a consistent description of gravity, one needs more than 3+1 dimensions, and the world around us could have up to 11 spatial dimensions! Linky

Someone says this light is from a star that started it's journey here billions of years ago. What can happen to the photons in a billion years. Maybe they have only been traveling for a few minutes or days, we just think it is a billion.
Then that would mean all those stars are in our solar system or just barely outside it. Our probes would've noticed them, I think.
It doesn't have to apply evenly to them all. Light is bent by gravity. Who really knows the true distances of the universe's objects. Man has barely left our solar system.

If higher dimensions need to be proven, does outrageously good cloaking technology need to be proven too?
