No. We are alone on earth (well, other than the 6 billion of us).
There are undoubtably other life forms in the universe- it's just that they are so far away, and travel speed being limited by the speed of light, we will 'never' have contact with any of them.
When we look deep into space at a dark area of the universe, and stare at it with the Hubble Space Telescope- we see that it is filled with other galaxies. Each containing hundreds of billions of stars.

Our minds are not designed to be able to conceptualize how truly vast and complex the universe is.

No. There is way to much space out there. We are supposedly on the outskirts of space. By sheer probability, there has to be another planet with some sort of lifeform (maybe not complex, but still). They have already found microrganisms that can survive in space.
Like the movie contact says, if we are alone, it is surely an awful waste of space.

I've heard it said, there are about 200 billion stars in each galaxy, and about 100 billion galaxies in the known universe. If we are alone, then that's a whole lot of wasted space.

Other life forms surely exist in the universe. There are simply too many other galaxies and intra-galaxy solar systems for there not to be.
However, the universe is too large for us to ever find them, or them to find us. Even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would take us over four years to get to the next closest star, and that's nowhere compared to the size of the galaxy, much less the universe.

Seriously doubt it.If you consider the number of galaxies, the stars within them, and the fact that there may be more than one universe, there the chances of other life being out there improve quite theoretically.

If we are getting the signs of UFO,then there are some other species in the other planets.Mars is an ideal planet for the survival of life.The ice in its polar caps is still visible.

Hmmm...like the last 5 million times I've answered this...PROBABLY NOT!!!

Absolutely not, but some people will need to be abducted and probed before they really believe it.

i think the answer to that would be the same as the answer to this question:
"is there only one brain cell in your mind?"
