First let's says that maybe the following are only half-good reasons. Yet if you ask, "Any hints that extraterrestrials have already visited us on Earth?" I'd say the list could run to at least 117 items. Let's aim for 17 here.
1 There are drawings from many cultures, suggestive of space ships, going back for centuries or millenia.
2 Speaking to the UN, President Reagan said, Isn't an alien force already working among us? Oh, well, he was speaking figuratively. Or he meant The Devil. Yet he could have said "an evil force."
3 Another time he said in a speech, I wonder how it would unite mankind if we learned a common enemy faced us all. Maybe he meant the flu or cancer?
4 One time that Reagan did not mean the flu or the Devil, he told that, while campaigning for governor of California, he saw a metallic, non-airplane-looking object flying alongside his plane, matching its movement.
5 For years "Area 51," a secret government area in Nevada north of Las Vegas, was just a rumor. Did it actually exist? What was there? Well, in an interview President Obama answered the first question. He spoke of it and then pointed out it was likely the first time a high official had publicly confirmed Area 51 existed. He didn't spell out what else he knew about it.
6 The US gov keeps coming quietly to civilian researchers to tell them they have clear extra-terrestrial evidence, and now they want to cooperate with a film or TV show giving this evidence. In his book Managing Magic, Grant Cameron details how this has happened about ten or twenty times over 50 years. Each time the government agents back off and don't share their evidence. In most cases, the insiders say there are those on the inside who want to keep it hid and those who want to tell the public. "The people have the right to know!" "The people can't do ---- about this!" Cameron concludes their intent is to spill the beans, one bean at a time. One reason they don't care to spill them all at once is that government would have to admit it is not in control. Another possible reason is that there are numerous non-Earth races in our corner of the Milky Way, and they're not all friendly. Maybe it's like emailing the ducks that duck hunting season has started. Let's say "numerous" means 27, just to throw out a number that stimulates my imagination. Or terrifies me. Our corner of the galaxy is kind of a big place, eh?
7 Thousands of UFO sightings in about a hundred countries fit into a limited set of patterns. Common elements are saucer-shaped or cigar-shaped vessels moving at high speed without visible means of propulsion, or triangle-shaped sets of lights in the sky that simply vanish.
8 A classic case of #7 is Socorro, NM policeman Ronnie Zamora seeing a non-airplane-shaped vessel on April 24, 1964. He, per Wikipedia, which does not coddle UFO reports, "heard a roar and saw a flame in the sky to southwest some distance away—possibly a 1/2 mile or a mile." Believing a local dynamite shack might have exploded, Zamora said he discontinued pursuit [of a speeding car] and investigated the potential explosion. Zamora claimed to have observed a shiny object, "to south about 150 to 200 yards", that he initially believed to be an "overturned white car ... up on radiator or on trunk". The object was "like aluminum—it was whitish against the mesa background, but not chrome", and shaped like the letter O. Zamora claimed to have briefly observed two people in white coveralls beside the object, who he later described as 'normal in shape—but possibly they were small adults or large kids.' Zamora claimed to hear a roar and see a blue and orange flame under the object which then rose and quickly moved away." When [backup] arrived, Zamora led him to examine some burning brush. When other police officers arrived they noted patches of smoldering grass and brush.[2] '
No good explanation of this has been found, though some have blamed New Mexico State students doing a fancy prank. If they can teach that "blue flame rose and" flew off, stuff, I'll enroll. Since it was 5:45 pm daytime, nobody's blamed the planet Venus. I'm quite sure you could write a book, "Cops and UFOs" that would run 100 cases. Montana sheriffs couple cases alone. City cop in Exeter, New Hampshire had a flying object he could not identify come down so close to him that he ducked and drew his pistol before it lifted away.
9 Unexplained and unexplainable reports from at least 100 military observers from Chile to Iran to France Vandenberg Air Force Base to nuclear installations in Maine, Montana and North Dakota, to the Navy off the San Diego coast in 2004--all these indicate a recurrent pattern. Some of the 2004 Navy pilots, led by David Fraver, believed they had chased vessels run by non-human intelligences.
Another time we'll review the "body" story.
Or the "chopped up cows and horses" story. And deer and ...
Or the "Skinwalker" story from my home valley, the Uinta Basin in Utah. Conveniently I moved out of there in 1960. Then just to make sure, I left again in 2004. Grant Cameron said, "It's not just that one ranch [near Roosevelt, Utah]. It's the whole area." That should make any Vernal, Utah native like me sleep more soundly.
