Some "researchers" think fairy folklore contains surprising parallels with the so-called greys. Fairies abduct people in rings. The abductees report time distortions. Etc. It's all very interesting. Maybe there is something to it, maybe not. I can't say they don't have evidence because they do.
Yes, you can.
Because they don't.

That is not evidence.

Whether or not an event is significant to you personally does not affect whether or not it is rational to believe in it.
God has no more evidence for its existence than fairies do.
