That depends. Yes, I believe it is probable that life exists elsewhere in the universe. But no, none of that life is building pyramids in ancient Egypt, abducting cows, or anal probing hillbillies.

Sorry, I’m going to be picky here.

You can believe in god’s and magic. But aliens existing is about probability not faith, unless you want to consider if they’ve ever visited earth.

But yes, the chances are very high we are not alone in the universe. But I doubt they’ve bothered to come here . . . Yet.

Yes, I believe they exist. Do I believe they’ve visited Earth? No.

Yes I believe it is likely that non earth originated life exists somewhere.

I absolutely do not believe “aliens” have visited earth in any way. I don’t even believe that “alien” originated radio waves have intersected earth, the odds would be crazy.

He likelyhood of this planet being the only place in the universe some complex proteins folded a billion years ago is zero.

I do, but I also find the idea of us being the remaining sign of life in a dying universe to be compelling in a tragic sort of way. We are like a whale who’s the last of its species calling out to its kin in a dead ocean and we will never know it.

Do I believe this is the case if I’m completely honest? No. But I think it’s romantic and sad in the same way that I think the Dark Forest theory is terrifying and creepy.

Yes but I don’t believe they figured out how to cross the distance/time vastness of space.

I think it’s pretty likely there are other living worlds in our galaxy given that life likely arose on our planet multiple times in different conditions spontaneously. I think it’s also pretty likely Mars still has something going on deep in it’s crust (given we keep finding complex life miles deep in our own crust, some colonies of simple life have even been embedded inside of rocks for nearly a million years) and the fact that the inner solar system planets regularly exchange rocks with each other. I think it’s fairly likely most bodies in the solar system have been contaminated by earth, other bodies, or by humans at this point, and that life will look pretty alien to us but may not be multicellular.

Generally, I think life is surprisingly hardy. Those worlds may not be livable for us but I’d bet you most solar systems have a little something going on somewhere, but we may not be able to discover it due to the costs and time involved to do so.

I’ll refer to them as NHI (Non Human Intelligence) and yes I believe they exist and are actually on the earth with us now. There is too much eyewitness testimony from highly trained observers and scientifically verified anomalous behavior to be anything created by human beings.

No,

Much of the strange lights flying around her either top secret aircraft or drones. Many people do not know drone technology existed before the War on Terror, so when they saw lights moving unlike a airplane or helicopter they were very confused.

UFOs are largely in remote areas where they are testing top secret aircraft or drones. Area 51 or what it is officially called Homey Airport is one of them.

Roswell, New Mexico is known for being the site of a UFO crash. It is also the same town as the Walker Air Force Base. The best explanation was that Roswell was that it is not in fact a UFO crash or a hot air balloon crash, but in fact the crash of a top secret aircraft.

Gabe Valdez, a New Mexico state trooper was looking into cattle mutilations in New Mexico in the 70s and talking about how he believed the government was mutilating cattle to test the after effects of radiation from Project Gasbuggy where they did a underground nuclear detonation in rural northwestern New Mexico this includes the the Dulce area.

A leading UFO researcher Paul Bennewitz was looking for UFO and was recording strange lights and radio signals from Kirtland Air Force Base and he was assigned a handler and disinfo agent, Richard Doty of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) where according to Gabe Valdez was the source of information for the “Dulce Base” myth.

In 1989, Bill Moore, a well-known UFO investigator who came out and said he was a disinformation agent working for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations…

There are plenty of UFO whistleblowers coming out Jake Barber, a aerospace mechanic and David Grusch who was Air Force Intelligence which are pretty obviously disinformation. Also the United States government is starting to openly support the UFO conclusion without showing actually evidence during times when they need to distract people from other stuff going on.

I believe the great filter is the jump from single-celled to multi-celled life.

It’s not a belief for me, rather knowledge that there’s a high probability.

Here and now? Doubt it. Out there at some time. Seems likely.

Depends what you class as “alien”.

Given that there are literally billions of galaxies out there and each one contains billions of stars with each one having the possibility of its own multi planetary system, it would be rather silly to assume that on our random planet of literally trillions of others, it’s the only one that life has or will evolve on. It might be not be life that has the ability to read a post on a smartphone but it might be more simple. It might be more advanced but I’m sure there’s probably some form of life.

Whether any have been able to build inter-planetary/or inter-galactic vessels and travelled to Earth…highly unlikely. And we shouldn’t be so conceited that if they did come that they would come for us! We’ve only been around for a million years. We’re relative newcomers on the block.

Giving the size of universe, there is problably life on other planets, too.
