It's really telling that this question is always posed as a matter of faith.
Do you believe in God? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in the Loch Ness monster? Do you believe in aliens?
I know UFO's exist - that's not debatable - you have to remember that it just stands for unidentified flying object so saying they're out there really isn't committing to very much at all. Weather balloons, marsh gas, stealth planes, they could all be called UFO's. Alien life though? All I'd say for certain is that we haven't been visited. I think we'd know about it if we had.
If you look up the Drake equation you'll see people have tried to scientifically map the possibilities that there is alien life based on a series of variables but the truth is its difficult to get reliable estimates for most of the different variables so we just don't know that there is life out there. The fact that it exists here on Earth is a strong 'existence theorem' (as they say in maths) that life is possible - recent evidence suggests that the first microbial life arose quite quickly after the Earth's surface cooled. Whether you think thats just because life is likely or if it had a divine helping hand is a matter of opinion.
The chances are there is life out there. There are up to 400,000,000,000 stars in this galaxy and for all we know most of them have planets, and there are over 100,000,000,000 galaxies. The chances are the universe is teeming with life, many millions or billions of worlds. Intelligent species looking up to skies very different from ours and wondering if they're alone in the Universe.

You'd have to be pretty naive to believe there is no other life out there. Scientists don't even know how big the universe is, and almost daily they're finding other planets out there. The universe is billions and billions of years old. We base our knowledge of evolution on us. But if another planet started life earlier than us, its possible that they are far more advanced than us, and have the capability to travel the universe in search of other life. I believe in UFOs, but I dont believe they've been here yet. What would be the point in travelling hundreds, maybe millions of light years, just to say "Yup there is life here, lets go home." I'd imagine there would be some form of contact.

It usually depends on the last TV special, about them, which have seen. Either side can be convincing. I remember a show where people tell abduction stories under hypnosis. But the hypnotist pressures them to tell the story they want told. So I think they are highly suspect. But the last show I have seen on the subject, Reports on respectable and reliable airplane pilots that report unusual things. There was also a flying saucer in Chicago lately that many reported seeing. Some will talk about experimental military aircraft. But others say they do things that seem physically impossible. In conclusion, the only thing I can say for sure is that I'm not.

I do not believe that travel from another universe is at all possible due to the fact that they are hundreds of light years away... there is nothing with mass that can travel the speed of light and when we talking UFOs which are obviously made of mass and matter, then it cancels the idea that space men can come to our planet. but the term ufo is 100% real of course it has to be because theres countries that launch stealth jets over one another we just don't know what they are thus unidentified

I even have asked this top question time and time returned, because it does look to point to an over lively mind's eye and does placed some what of a damper on creditability. in spite of this, I even have additionally been privvy to work out the two a style of "phenomenons". between the UFOs that I even have considered became later defined. This became a spectacular searching for me, because it confirmed/proved to me that i did no longer make it up in my head. whether, there are nonetheless the different hundred thoughts of "greater desirable than coincedence"and of a few sightings (2 greater) of unidentified flying merchandise's that I nonetheless have not got any explaination for. Do I even have an over lively mind's eye? You betcha, whether, does this decrease cost what I observed? basically because of the fact i'm overly inventive, does that advise that i do no longer see what I see? that i'm incapable of judging what's genuine? am i able to easily be greater in tuned to vibrational variations that should enable me to reveal screen greater in my existence? i'm nonetheless wrestling with the solutions. Your question is finest, I even have published this in this web site and someplace else earlier, i wish which you get greater desirable solutions than I even have.

Well, I believe wholeheartedly in unidentified flying objects. Now for those objects being spaceships from another planet, whether life exists from other planets or not, I am a lot more doubtful.

P.S. I don't exclude the possibility

There are plenty of people in this world who have seen things they cannot explain in the heavens above. I think they are definately there. I have seen strange thing in the country skies. The writings of the world say the aliens are there to protect us and steer our world straight when it wobbles out of control on it's axis. It all ties with the prophesies and scientific research on the end of days. The one where the polar caps fall causing all sorts of mayhem. Search India News media.

UFOs are real. But they are not from another planet. Advanced physics has proven the possibility of parallel dimensions. This is the answer.

I believe there are other life forms in the universe. I don't believe they're doing wheelies in our skies. after all these "sightings" we would have had physical proof.
