Personally, I don't believe that we are being influenced by aliens in the manner that most people would claim. While it might be the case that we are being observed by aliens, I doubt that they are going to allow us to see them, or even more amazingly, to strip one of their ships down and conduct research on it for years. Personally, I'd love for there to be alien life forms, waiting to engage with us, it would be so exciting. But I find it highly doubtful that there are any such beings.
For many people that I have spoken to on the topic, aliens seem to fill the same role in their belief system as god and satan. They are either the source of ultimate hope, or the ultimate evil, or perhaps engaged in an ongoing conflict, and thereby filling both roles. The first see them as working behind the scenes to make us a better species and perhaps even going to reveal themselves, in order to usher us into a new golden age of permanent happiness and prosperity. The second lot see the aliens as being our evil overlords, controlling the government, corperations and wielding the powers of some secret world government.
In both cases, like many religionists, it seems that the person is simply wanting to believe that there is a simple explaination for everything and that there can therefore be a simple fix that will inevitably lead us to utopia. In reality, the world is much more complex than this and there are no simple answers just waiting to be plucked from the low hanging branch of destiny.
