But to have a good chance for aliens to have visited us during the living memory of modern men, there would have to be on average more than 1 visit per 10,000 years. This would mean aliens would have to have visited more than 6,000 times since the demise of dinosaurs, or more than 50,000 times since the Cambrian explosion.
See, it's statistically very probable for us to have missed alien visitation completely even if aliens, on a cosmological time scale, actually frequently visited earth.
The other question of what evidence they may have left from past visit? We have no way of knowing why they visited, how they visited, and what they did while visiting, so we have no way of speculating what sort of evidence they ought to have left had they visited.
They might have very well helped us discover writing and other such important technologies to get us going. Or maybe they kick-started life on this planet. Or maybe they just brought it here from another planet and changed our collective and individual memories of it because we're actually some sort of political prisoners. In fact, we humans, are all descendants of the bloodline that ruled this cluster of galaxies and we got overthrown. But somebody will figure it out(I'm not saying it will be me, but it will be me) and start on this amazing journey of revenge and love and honor and space travel.
