I find it odd that you decide to put aliens in the same category as gods, spirits, and leprechauns. Life outside our solar system not only does exist, but mathematically proven. The very idea that we are the only intelligent life in the universe is not only highly arrogant, but ignorant. Placing your decision on whether or not to believe on video, audio, or by word of mouth while very prudent also provides a problem . How can any such evidence be substantiated, when no one wants to take this subject seriously?
I understand your skepticism, but don't write off life exists elsewhere just because you have decided there is no evidence.
If by definition of alien, life outside of our planet, then yes, it has already been proven. Microorganisms have been found to exist on Mars, the only reason why the other planets in our solar system can't have life is positioning. Mars had all its water dry up, the other planets are either too far and are frozen or are gas planets.
The idea that, why is it that we are perfectly where we are is that exact reason, without our planet being where it is we would not exist and therefor not understand that our planet is where it is...
