Yeah, me too, or that it has, at sometime existed, and will again.
It's here and now I'm not convinced about...

I find it really odd that in a time when a major portion of the population has phones capable of high quality photos and videos, there aren't more videos of UFOs. There were a lot back when video cameras became popular, now there's nothing but clearly CG hoaxes. I guess the aliens got bored with us.

Even the Egyptians mentioned about aliens over 3000 years ago

That's from the Weekly World News, a fake newspaper that frequently covered the adventures of America's favorite mutant and former TrekBBS poster Batboy. It isn't really a source of actual information, neither are scifi shows.
Except for Manimal, that actually happened.
Although statistically there probably is intelligent life on other planets, statistically it is probably not within a 100ly radius of us.

Fake? How so? It is proof they saw UFOs. Then who built the pyramids?

The death of the history channel started with Pawn Stars. I'd argue that only the science channel is true to it's name anymore.
It's not a real newspaper. They make stuff up.
A lot of people see things in the sky they can't identify.
The Egyptians's built the pyramids.

Fair point, though even they can lower their standards every so often. "Punkin' Chunkin'", and "Alien Encounter" for example.
There is almost certainly intelligent life somewhere out there. It just might not be near us or given that the universe is billions of years old, could be long dead or we're the first.
It isn't real.
They make things up, that's the point of it. Here's another headline from it.
No, it's proof that the Weekly World News had access to photoshop and that P.T. Barnum was right.
Egyptians, if you actually read research and not Stargate reruns you might learn a bit of how we figured that out. I like Daniel Jackson too, but he isn't a real doctor. He's a fictional character.
Food Network used to have cooking shows, now it is full of game shows and reality shows that may or may not nominally have something to do with food.
TLC and Discovery used to be about, you know, learning and discovering stuff. Not so much anymore.
ESPN is still devoted to sports, though they do cover things like bowling and the World Series of Poker too.
Mission creep, I guess, or maybe just selling out.

Comedy Central had Battlebots. But it never stopped also showing comedy.
I would also argue, calling yourself the 'History Channel' amounts to making a claim of historical authority. It's not the same as MTV not showing any music, it's more like if the Science Network had a show about astrology or psychics.

If there are aliens out there rooming the universe they would have to be very close by and have faster than light travels.
I always thought if aliens were visiting us and there is a massive cover up and blah blah blah that they came back in the 1940s (Because there are paintings with UFOs from the mid ages.) because of our lovely nuclear bomb testing.
"... In these last few years, as never before, to stimulate piety and terror and fervor in the populace, and obedience to human and divine law, preachers have used distressing words, macabre threats. Never before, as in our days, amid processions of flagellants, were sacred lauds heard inspired by the sorrows of Christ and of the Virgin, never has there been such insistence as there is today on strengthening the faith of the simple through the depiction of infernal torments."

After seeing the people in this thread who fancy themselves intellectuals, all responding to an obvious troll repeatedly, I tend to agree.
All niche channels, well, topic-specific channels, lose their niche over time. Although, SyFy seems to be attempting to repent for their sins.
It's all about money and ratings. To get the most eyeballs to watch your network, you must appeal to those eyeballs. That means diluting your programming in order to appeal to the masses.
So MTV and VH1 are no longer about the music, History Channel isn't about (world war) history, TLC and Discovery are not about learning, A&E is no longer limited to the refined arts and entertainment, etc... They are all diluted.
It took SciFi Channel to show Law and Order and WWE for me to figure this out. And this was years after TNN abandoned their country music format.
