We do. Over the centuries, your planet was a curious place to visit once or twice and was not considered very interesting . Sure, your wars showed us how undeveloped you are as a species and your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you. We are now showing an interest in you because it is not often that we get to observe a species commit suicide. You are so close to maturing as a sentient species and it will be a shame to see you kill yourselves. There are just not enough of you becoming rational enough to force the issue. You let the least among you determine your fate, so be it.

No-one knows for sure. If NASA scientists did discover aliens then they probably wouldnt let the public know, it would cause too much unrest. Imagine if alien existance was confirmed, wouldn't you always have that forboding, impending feeling in the top of your stomach, under your ribcage, thinking about what could happen at any second. It would probably cause major societyal upset so I would gather that if there were aliens, even if they were speeding towards us, light years a minute, that nasa would only inform the army and prepare our defenses, we, the naive public will only find out when their space ships are hovering above our planet and we are being laser rayed by the thousands.

Area 51 notwithstanding, we don't know. There have been no answers to the SETI project so far. However, we are discovering more and more extrasolar planets within our own galaxy. Galaxies tend to evolve by intergalactic collisions, triggering starbursts (lots of new stars) in their spiral arms. There are over 100 billion stars just in our galaxy. Our next door neighbor galaxy, the Andromeda, is twice the size of our own Milky Way. Seems to me the universe abounds in life since our sun makes life possible here. There may be life within our own solar system, deep within the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, for example, or deep within the frozen surface of Europa, a moon of Jupiter, which is suspected of having vast oceans deep underneath the ice coating. Temperature is a function of pressure and density, so if you go deep enough, the water may be warm enough to sustain life. Same goes for Titan, a moon of Saturn, on which we landed a probe (the Huygens Probe) just last year, and it sent back some picutures before if froze in the minus 270 degree surface temperature. The radar mapping of Titan's surface showed what appear to be huge lakes of methane at its north pole. Life in a methane ocean cannot be ruled out either. But intelligent life, well, that may be a bit more rare. But with billions of galaxies that we can see with the Hubble Space Telescope, each containing on the average of 100 billion suns, some even more than that, it seems like a good bet that the point of all this is "life."
It may be we will never know. There are many theories as to why not. One being is that their distance in light years would be proportional to how long an intelligent species can survive and get a message to us before it destroys itself. If a planet containing intelligent life is 1000 light years away, for example, the intelligent life may have destroyed itself within those 1000 years. We may be well on the way to doing just that as well. So, if the human race lived for a million years, the chances we may discover something are greatly increased. But, if you read Stephen Hawking's response to his question on how we can survive another hundred years, you will note that one of the things he says is that it could be that intelligent species self-destruct when their technology exceeds their common sense. It's only taken the human race a million years to develop the means to destroy itself. But really, it's only in the last 100 years that the means for global destruction has been invented by way of the atomic bomb. We've been sending messages out into space for less than 50 years. If we get an answer 1000 years from now, will we still be around to receive it? That is the question.

as of today, there is still no scientific evidence proving that aliens exist. but there is a possibility that other life forms exist, due to the vastness of the universe. There is a big possibility that there could be one, at least one, planet from the million others that have an environment that could sustain life just like our planet earth. So that is why even if past research and studies fail to prove that we are not alone, scientist still believe in the possibility that there are other life forms except ours.

If you're asking for proof,then no.You'll get a bunch of answers from people who believe the Area 51 conspiracy,but science has found no real evidence other than people jumping the US border.All of the so called evidence has been disputed by half of the scientific community.Just some squigly lines in space rock.Most scientists believe that to be no more than the growth of crystals which isn't life.

Yes. I think this universe is far too large for us to be the only life. We haven't met any aliens yet but I still believe they are there. I hope we can one day communicate with them. They may be more scientifically advanced than us and could teach us some cool things!

there are no way to believe about Aliens. Aliens sense it to the meaning that only intelligent creature comes from other Planets.
It is difficult to imagine the living things from other planet
as only the Earth has all potenials to create living and moving
objects. As far as I found in solar system, to our my mind view,
to our sight there are no solid living things.
But spiritual living things are over there in Universe.
Which science may not able to prove it physically.
(there it comes Religion!!).
However the only existing relations are God and People in Earth.
No Others like Alien, but people from God in spiritual Form.
I used to see in night times some faster objects moving/travelling
around at high speeds, looks like stars ( not planes).

Yes. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they are not there or here. Think about it, there are many planets out there couldn't it be possible that aliens live on those planets. Couldn't it be possible that they have been trying to talk to us, and that they have indeed visited our planet. The answer is yes!!! ANd I hope there is an alien who can help me with my math homework tonight.

at this time, there are no aliens. But maybe in the future scientists will discover alien like bodies. But for now, THERE ARE ALIENS OUTER SPACE OR EVEN ON EARTH.
