How is it you postulate that an alien civilization has managed to travel the vast distances required to reach us? If they were capable of such technology, the next question would be: why come here? Resources? Doubtful, there would certainly be a million other planets between us and them that they could take advantage of.
As for UFO sightings, I'm more than skeptical. We seem perpetually fascinated with over-fantasizing about anything that breaks the normality of our current existence, which includes religion, aliens, and end-of-world scenarios. It's easier to fantasize about such things than to cope with the reality that we are in fact, for our own sake is concerned, all alone here.

I personally don't believe that the speed of light is the ultimate speed limit. There are theories that claim that the vacuum of space is not empty and that dark energy is inhibiting the movement of light/matter through it. Ideas like warp drives can exist using our current laws of physics, the power is just restrictive at this point in time. Why is it so difficult to believe that our science cannot currently explain all facets of the universe yet?
Why do we search for life in the universe? Even microbial? Why is it so difficult to believe that other species can't have a thirst for all knowledge or a curiosity like we have? Or perhaps we are a delicacy, no different than some of the expensive tasty things that we enjoy. You won't know until you meet them and ask them.
UFO's do exist. Much of which occurs naturally (lights in the skies, etc). What you are referring to is alien craft. There is no way to verify whether a UFO is an alien craft unless it lands and aliens pop out and greet you. Its good to be skeptical, its another thing to be closed minded.
