I avoid all UFO related discussion. The thought of aliens out there interacting with us scares the crap out of me. I mean, I can watch sci-fi movies and shows involving aliens without having a panic attack, but when I truly sit an contemplate the possibility that there is life 'out there' and it visits us... I don't even like to look up at the night sky much. Too big, too dark, too vast. Some people seem to think my aversion to alien-related things is proof that I'm a former abductee, and frankly, I don't want to hear about it.
Part of what bothers me about it most is that, unlike humans and other life on earth, these beings are truly alien, from outside the world as I know it. Read this book not too long ago called Supernatural by Graham Hancock, and he posited that the beings that shamans met in ancient times, the faeries met by medieval folk and the aliens of the modern era are all the same creatures, some other-dimensional or other-worldly visitors, aka aliens. That really bothered me and I put a hiatus on a lot of my core shamanic studies and practices because of it. It just freaked me out too much and I felt like anything else I tried to do in that sense would be forever after tainted by that imagery and idea. No more Otherworld journeys or astral travel for me, thanks.
