Lot's of things are hard for us to imagine, For instance how big is the universe? 

That's true. Reasoning has its limits in general, eg. we use the capacity of our species' brain to determine what is reasonable. Which might not be too reasonable, for why is our specific human brain the benchmark for universal reason?

But I won't take the step to say, well there are limits to our reasoning, hence even the unimaginable is very well possible. Some things remain highly unlikely to me and so I still say for example, nope, we haven't been visited by disguised aliens. With the same reasoning - that our reasoning is too limited to determine universal truth - one could claim there's a river god inside the Danube or the meaning of life is buried under a street lantern in Bismarck ND. I still do not believe those things either.
