The 21st century was, as Jack Harkness cryptically said, "when everything changes". (TW: Everything Changes) Among other things, this refers to the fact that the early 21st century was when the human race on Earth learned as a whole that alien life existed. (DW: The Christmas Invasion) Earlier chronicled invasions, including those of the Cybermen (DW: The Invasion) and the Slitheen family (DW: Aliens of London/World War Three), were believed by the general public to have been hoaxes, or otherwise covered up. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks) Others, such as the Racnoss invasion (DW: The Runaway Bride), the disappearance of Royal Hope Hospital (DW: Smith and Jones) and the March of the Adipose (DW: Partners in Crime) were brief in duration, and most, such as the common incursions through the Rift (Torchwood) and conspicuous alien presences in Ealing (The Sarah Jane Adventures), though well-known enough to lead to the area being dubbed "the Ealing Triangle" (SJA: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith), were insignificant. However, as alien incursions became more frequent, it became harder to dismiss them, especially the worldwide invasions such as the Battle of Canary Wharf (DW: Doomsday) in 2007 and the Dalek Invasion of Earth (DW: The Stolen Earth) in 2009. The government publicly opened negotiations with at least two alien races, the Toclafane (DW: The Sound of Drums) in 2008 and the 456 (TW: Children of Earth) in 2009. Earth was a very tempting target for Invasion, even so that half of the species from Earth to the Verlixix Spiral Cluster has plans to invade. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane)

In a negated timeline, most people knew and accepted alien life by the 2050s (SJA: The Mad Woman in the Attic), although given events early in the century, odds are this fact remains in the restored timeline.
