Because it's not that we're alone in the universe - that much is a statistical impossibility - but that we are not alone, and nobody cares. Humanity is the ever-present blinking light of an unread message in the dark corner of the room.
Obviously fiction (I mean, if the explicit disclaimer in the credits didn't tip you off, or the presentation as a whole then I worry for your brain!) but it doesn't matter. The Gulf of Silence isn't made to deceive, unlike the majority of UFO media, but rather to strike to the vulnerable, fleshy core of the phenomenon and the people most affected by it. Not with a sensationalist, smooth brained and popcorn gargling farcical take, but something utterly personal and heart breakingly relatable.
Whether you're involved in this field or any other similarly maligned by the greater populace, provided you're not some soulless grifter that is, chances are you've been in some of the places Laura Gale has been. Endured the same jokes, snorts, the deaths of social units and the crippling, anxiety induced self sabotage in response. (insert alienation pun here?)
If The Gulf of Silence achieves anything its the absolute realisation of a relatable, grounded protagonist divulging an account so credible within a genre so often bogged down in trashy, tabloid junk more concerned with making its viewer feel special, chosen and important. Maybe that's why it's currently being brigaded with one stars and being "reviewed" by filmgoers that unironically watch things at 2x speed and call people "females".
Also its very funny.
