Notice I am not asking for proof of Aliens but simply proof for the existence of just one single Alien [a conscious, sentient being not from the Planet Earth]. This would put an end to all the debunkers and alien theorists could say we told you so. Problem us alien theorists have is that until at least one alien can be proven to exist, the debunkes will have the upper hand because if we can not prove that even one alien exists then how can we say alien phenomena reported over the history of Man has any validity? Anyone out there have some pictures, films or a recorded conversation to play for us to set our minds at ease? Or do I have to go back to watching StarTrek and science fiction to meet the theoretical aliens that no one can prove exist?
Sorry for sounding like a debunker but after following the debate for many years and believeing in the existence of aliens and so arguing the point in favor of their probable existence, I still have not seen one single proven alien to exist.
ET log-in and settle the debate!

Jumping back in here...right now on Mars...do you think the as-yet-undiscovered inhabitants are pointing to our rover saying "See? There is evidence there really are aliens....and the rest asking "Well? That means nothing. Show me ACTUAL PROOF of one...JUST ONE!"
Its not so much the OP wants just a single proven fact...its more about his inability to grasp nor accept all the available evidence from thousands of years.
When I started this thread even though I knew it would appeal to debunkers I was kind of hoping someone would actually show me the proof many of us long for. Of course the absolute proof of the existence of an alien being still does not exist BUT the overwhelming evidence indicates that the planet Earth is being visited by an alien intelligence[s] of some sort even if it is not understood.
Just watched this video on YouTube and even though it is one of those general overviews of the main events in the UFO field it is of better quality with more credible people including ranking military personnel and is worth the time for anyone interested in this subject to watch.

And nailing down even one proven alien entity would go a long way to ending the skeptics and debunkers.

You don't know what ET even is...so you debate over his existence.
Tell me; IF you ran into a person, who just happened to "look" just like anybody else...but, was not related to a single person on Earth..."What would that make that Person?"
Bob White has since had the object tested multiple times by such renown labs as Los Alamos National Lab. In 1996 White took a piece of the object to Los Alamos for testing, according to him the lab first stated this object was of extraterrestrial nature.

There you go - proof. Be careful what you ask for.
'The metallurgical analysis was pretty mundane, said Colm Kelleher, a scientist at the National Institute for Discovery Science.
We didn't find any evidence that it was extraterrestrial. Now you can make the argument that we didn't spend $1 million and look at every conceivable option. We didn't cover every base.'

Results from the analysis of sample #2 are quite conclusive. The specimen is an aluminum-silicon alloy, with a substantial amount of variety of impurities, including iron, calcium, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, magnesium and others. The composition is one that could be used as an aluminum casting alloy. The closest commercial material has the trade name "360 alloy" [Lyman, 1961]. This is a die casting alloy used in applications where excellent castability and resistance to corrosion are required. It is used for miscellaneous thin-walled and intricate castings. Since this type of alloy is very close to the eutectic (lowest melting) composition, it has excellent fluidity at relatively low temperatures.
The microstructure of the sample is one to be expected from the composition: second phase eutectic silicon particles in a matrix of aluminum solid solution. However, due to a few undesirable structural characteristics, it would be regarded as a poorly cast aluminum alloy when compared with published micrographs of commercial materials [Lyman, 1972]. The large amount of porosity would certainly lead to a decreased strength and decreased corrosion resistance. The presence of porosity together with the apparent flow lines suggests that uncontrolled cooling took place. The significant amount of impurities like sodium accounts for the fineness and rounded nature of the silicon particles, rather than the larger, longer, more angular particules usually observed. Dislocations (planes of slip caused by plastic deformation) appear to be decorated by silicon particles. In many cases, these dislocations follow the flow lines. This suggests some forced flow during solidification of the melt (in the range of temperatures 600 degrees C to 575 degrees C).
There are no anomalies in the results of this analysis. The detected phases are accounted for, and the microstructure lends itself to standard metallurgical interpretation. The physical properties that were measured (density, hardness, and electrical resistivity) all fall within the expected range. - Colm Kelleher, Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS)
