Grammar
Can I use 'could have ~ed' for 'guess'?
Stonehenge could have been built by aliens. [Discovery Channel]
I think the above sentence is not conditional three because no one knows who made Stonehenge.
So, I'd like to know whether I can use "could have ~ed" so as to express guess like as "might have ~ed."
Thank you in advance for your help.
