Those alien videos are stupid... I mean, even if aliens did exist; they might not have human universal gestures; thus, making ALL communication impossible.

For example, every human knows what pointing is - it is innate. If a parent points at something to a 2 year old, the 2 year old will look in that direction, it is just innate, not taught. On the other hand, aliens might not have any of these universal gestures, so any communication attempts could very well be futile. (Like if you point, it wouldn't understand the concept of pointing.)

That video looks fake too, but I won't say it is fake, because I wasn't there in the making and/or when it was happening. All I know is, the odds are against it since it would take millions of years to reach the Earth from a distant planet.
