That's the thing, though: Not everyone doubts me or my story.
As for my answer to your question: Why do you think that they would just come and land and hold some press conference announcing their arrival? I'm not suggesting that they've ever even attempted to make some sort of physical contact with people before, but if they had - it's probably not going to be like they just roll up in Time Square and say "We're here!". We, as humans, go into the environment all of the time to observe and look for new species. And often when we do so, we try to avoid introducing ourselves and we sure as heck don't go "HEY! OVER HERE! LOOK AT US!". We observe. We note. We try to avoid detection. We try to avoid disturbing.
And yet, there is physical evidence of every species that has ever been on this planet, except for aliens. They haven't left behind so much as an interstellar candy wrapper, no debris, nothing. There is no physical evidence that they have ever been here, because they never have. And honestly, if they had the technology to come here, they would have taken over a long time ago.
I'd be more susceptible to the idea that aliens are moving around the universe using non-physical methods that are way beyond our understanding, so no, they have never been here in a spaceship. I believe you saw something, but it was not a spaceship.

I don't doubt you're honestly and earnestly relating your experience. However, what we're doubting (because it seems so incredible) is the interpretation of your experience when there are many, many more mundane explanations.
For example, I literally grew up at the gates of Wright-Patterson AFB. Watching aircraft fly in and out of there, you learn that sometimes they move in ways that appear to defy what should be able. That's even more true when they're unfamiliar aircraft. (As an aside: I've personally seen the U2, SR71, and F117 Stealth fighter all fly in en route to be parked in the museum.) Alternatively, there are documented cases of people having sleep paralysis that mimics what feels like an abduction.
I'm not saying what you experienced wasn't a visit by extra-terrestrials. What I'm saying is that it takes a lot more than "I know what I saw" to overcome those much more ordinary explanations.

Imagine a stationary object. Now imagine it getting closer (it seemed much like an aircraft flying directly at you, in which the light is all you can actually see and it appears to just be becoming a larger ball of light - except that when traditional aircraft do this, eventually they become clear as planes because they continue on their path and the light angle changes). But then it just stops. Light is still there, glowing, but the object isn't moving. And it sits there for about 3 minutes. Then it acts as if a child were controlling the light much like it were the point of laser on a wall and they just zig zag it across the wall. Except, that happened in the sky. Aircraft can't do that. The g-forces would kill people at that acceleration, stopping, going. Not to mention the fact that we don't have crafts capable of any sort of the movements it made at the speeds it made. It wasn't some man made craft. We can't do that. It wasn't a meteor or some other space rock - they don't move like that, they have tails as they burn.
If you've got an explanation for how an object in the sky behaved like a laser pointer - let's have that conversation. But it wasn't some man made aircraft.

Disagree. We know they could exist because we have observed life on this planet. What we have no direct, empirical observations of is life visiting from outside of our planet. (Even pansporia is more of a hypothesis rather than a theory at this point.)
It's the difference between me telling you I have a pet dog -- we know dogs exist, and people often keep them as pets, and me telling you I have a green unicorn as a pet -- we've never seen a green unicorn, much less known anyone who has kept one for a pet.
And again, I'm not telling you you didn't see something extraordinary. But what I would want to do is recreate the conditions with different craft (such as a stealth helicopter) before resolving that it must have been an alien spacecraft. Let's test your hypothesis first.
