This same argument could be used for anything other than aliens, e.g., Kermit the frog, Jorb and Loftar, or the pet penguin you never had. There's really no source for this, and it really isn't any more likely that I'm talking to aliens when something goes wrong in my brain than that I'm talking to God, the Devil, or an unusually verbose ham and cheese sandwich.
I remember I had a bad experience with some medication once. Not only did it cause me to hallucinate constantly, it caused me to believe everything that I read, and also made me talk too much.
This was a really bad combination. One person I talked to thought that I might really be an angel (and that perhaps I could not 'realize' this without the interference of the medication) or that I might have had drug-activated inborn superpowers... but this was not the majority opinion. It became a moot point anyway, because the next week I started ranting about having multiple personalities and being controlled by an inhuman intellect. It took over six months to fully recover from one week of that awful prescription, and I'm quite aware that none of it was real. (Are you saying I'm not real? No, shut up.)

This is not called 'disclosure', it's called 'rumour-mongering', though I appreciate this as a description of how even the most farcical culture-bound syndromes are able to gain such widespread credibility. I think you're being a bit melodramatic aside from that, we've had alien invasions of a thousand varieties in everything from dime novels to Hollywood blockbusters for the last century, and it's not like the basic themes and ideas are all that much different from those of the Fair Folk, or any other mythological phantom creatures who snatch, spook, torment and play with people, even from thousands of years ago. (Note: The fair folk were not ever reported to use flying saucers.)
The odds of real aliens being like anything depicted in popular media (including word of mouth) are
very low; indeed, it's not likely at all that they will be like the results of our imagination, which is
how they're depicted. Imagine if there were real vampires. Would they be troubled-but-cute pretty boys who just need a little love to set them straight? Probably not, but it sure would be convenient!
If that kind ever show up, expect someone to be mass-producing and selling them for hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. I wonder if werewolves would be any cheaper... I'd probably have to settle for a ghost.

Seeing weird lights in the darkness at night can be a sign of many, many other things than an actual aerospace craft performing maneuvers. Flying insects, atmospheric phenomenon,
retinal phenomenon, or even your brain's constant attempts to recognize patterns when it has insufficient data (like when you're squinting into the darkness.) That last one's responsible for a lot of things. I used to have to turn my lights back on a few times before getting to sleep because of ninjas and goblins I saw even though they weren't there. Even when I was 18.
If you want to be spooked out, consider that if alien spacecraft visited at night and didn't want to be seen, they wouldn't be. Because... it'd be dark... and it wouldn't be possible to see them unless they had lights on them or they were generating plasma somehow. Which you'd think they'd have control over, unless they were cheesy sci-fi aliens.
I guess it'd be boring if people reported 'I saw a shadow briefly obscure some stars, in a pattern unlike any cloud I've ever seen!' rather than the whole 'strange lights' thing, since strange shadows are quite common, and difficult to point out or photograph.

Same to you, but be careful. Believing things based on poor evidence can lead to doing things harmful things without good reason... like, for example, trying to alter your consciousness so that you can communicate psychically with something that can't be proven to exist except through the anecdotes of others who've made the same attempt. Like, just... whoa. The methodological flaws, it's intense. People can convince themselves of anything if they try hard enough, it just not a wise objective.
