I find it very difficult to look past the idea that people try to sell fiction for fact, because they want to become rich/famous. 9/10 fit into this frame. They could make outrageous claims because they're already someone with a formal posture, like ex-secret agents, or something. Other people seem to pretend they're enlightened, able to know things because they were supposedly chosen or have mastered a skill of communicating with aliens. They seem offended if you express skepticism, more reason to assume they're just liars. 9/10 of these people seem to fit some kind of textbook pathology. Most of them are also "proven to spread disinfo", often by similar people with their own outrageous theories. Common sense is often the best ingredient to apply in order to understand the real story. Just bored attention seekers.
In my opinion Gary McKinnon is the most reliable person. It's easy to discredit him. He has been arrested for hacking the NASA. Maybe he was ashamed of getting caught so that he made up to have found aliens, while in reality there was nothing worthwhile, for the world to not look down on him. But he doesn't seem to care wether you believe him or not, unlike for example Corey Goode (who is a complete fraud imo). This could just be a trait that he doesn't care, but his story is much like he's in the role of a social hero, from the perspective of an everyday person. He achieved something from his simple home. That is true, but his claims, maybe they are, maybe they aren't.
Personally I don't believe anything, people who claim to know things seem interested in making you believe them, just typical cultists in a modern jacket. Ridiculous, if you think about it, but then again, I can't determine that anyone lies, but so many contradicting "prophets", some of them are not speaking the truth. Maybe none of them are.
