I think so.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. (No proof of aliens yet, therefore there are no aliens)
But as far as the UFO hunters go, they have an equally valid point that in the absence of any evidence that Aliens don't exist, it's possible that in fact, they may.
The flip side of this is that the existence of Aliens can't be disproven for the same reason that the existence of Unicorns can't be disproven. Until there's more evidence, Aliens and Unicorns must inhabit a similar sphere of veracity.
