I got to thinking about extra-terrestrials and asked a coworker, "if an alien came up and told you he was an alien, what sort of proof would you want?".
(These are the kinds of things my brain works on when I'm bored.)

He came up with a few fantastical ideas (levitation and the sort) but I pretty much discarded them all.
If Neil Armstrong had gone through a wormhole to another planet -- he would have none of the powers we often attribute to aliens.
Well if we don't have a particular ability why would we expect an alien to have it?
My thinking is:
If they're going to come all this way they would likely intend to communicate and would probably speak a native Earth language.
If their intent was to make contact they would likely have to leave their craft and would have found a way to breathe our air.
If Earth was picked out of the millions of possible planets then their planet would likely be similar to Earth and their physiology might likely be similar to ours.
Am I on the wrong track here?
Could aliens already be here and we just don't believe them?
I understand the movie K-Pax dealt with a similar theme but I haven't seen it.
