I don't think so. Not that I claim to have seen any UFO's or been abducted. The line from the movie "Contact" says it all for me. "If we are alone in the universe - it seems an awful waste of space" I'm not sure if that is exact but you get my meaning. Any other thoughts?

It is mathematically impossible for us to be the only living creatures in the entire universe. Now, we may be the only organisms with a very high level of complexity, but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything else living out there.
On a side note, I think that our search for "intelligent life" is a real sham. Rather than searching from a completely objective view, we take the approach of "is there water? no. well i guess nothing's living there." Is it unrealistic to believe that, as water is the essential ingredient here on earth, on some other world a different compound could be the essential nutrient.
I think that we are not truly searching for intelligent life forms, but instead searching for a knew world to colonize. We are looking for a place that we can exist in once we have completely polluted this planet and sucked it dry of all natural resources.

Life abounds throughout the galaxy and we presume throughout the universe. Some of it is sentient and some has visited your planet. 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. Your infantile,(in cosmic terms) dependence on god concepts does not bode well for you and neither does your penchant to breed beyond your planet's ability to sustain 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.

on the 2d we've easily 0 information apart from one place that life can exist. That one place is here in the international. so as that provides us desire that it may take place else the place, we in simple terms would desire to locate it or extra importantly locate information. i like to think of we at the instant are not on my own however the way life all started in the international i'm vulnerable to think of life is uncommon, a minimum of so a strategies as we've developed. The universe is a bad place and we've had various mass extinction's that brought about us evolving, that throws some uncertainties into the equation. talking of equations, the Drake equation that would get a point out is a tad ambiguous and that i think of incorrect.

Not at all, and I've seen a UFO. Man is the smartest thing on this planet but when it comes to Universal Knowledge, he is still in the Womb.

No, we are not alone in the universe..
If speed of light travel proves to be something intelligent life throughout the universe cannot get around by any means then
there is little chance we will ever meet...

I agree completely. That line from Contact sums it up so nicely. We can barely get beyond our own atmosphere, let alone do any in-depth explorations in our own solar system. Not to mention the other solar systems in this galaxy, AND all the other galaxies out there.
I think it incredibly arrogant for people to say, "We are the only ones!" To me, that's like trying to predict the weather in Spain by standing on your backporch in Kansas and glancing east.

No, we're definatley not alone. And yes, we're pretty far from exploring other planets (Although it's been anounced that the next moon landing will be in 2020 and that a permanent base on the moon will be built 40 years after that), it doesn't mean that we have to find them. They could find us! Weather or not that would be a good thing, I don't know.

Of course we are not alone in the Universe. The universe is a very big place. There are billions of galaxies,suns, and planets. There have got to be planets that have life on them.

Of Course not. There are very high chances that there is life in other universes. I mean think about it, theres millions/billions of universes out there..im sure theres atleast even 1 planet with life on it.

i've also seen a ufo that moved in a way we have no technology to replicate. even if i hadn't seen that, i would still believe that there is at least one other planet out there which is supporting life. there should be many at least with bacteria or other single or small multicell lifeforms, even if it's not something from close encounters.
