Why or why not?
For me, having the background in physics that I do, I feel it is a certainty that there are species in the universe that have developed an understanding of the universe sufficient to allow them to build technology capable of circumventing the mass-energy limitations of traveling faster than light (or at speeds up to that of light in a vacuum). Most likely by not traveling at all, but jumping from one point to another without traversing the intervening space. If not by doing that, than by warping space time so as to be 'pulled' in a bubble towards their destination without actually accelerating.
While I don't know and won't speculate as to whether or not we have been visited by them, I believe it is a very plausible explanation for some of the behavior that some UFOs exhibit. I also contend that many of these craft are built by humans.
What say ye?
