Why I Know there are Aliens
Let's think it over, logically, without prejudice. There is life on Earth. We know that as a plain fact. We are alive. Nobody can deny this.The universe, as we have learned through research, is big enough to host billions of planets. Now let's apply simple math and probability - if we know of at least once case of "life" in the solar system alone, then the probability of more "life" cases in the universe is very high - close to 100%. That's because the number of potential "living plantes" is so high. Even planet Mars, so we discovered lately, has water in it. And water is one of the basic elements of life as we know it.If our culture, which is pretty primitive, succeeded in performing space travel, there is a good chance that more cultures have performed the same task, with even greater success. However, the number of cultures who advanced themselves to this level of technology is drastically smaller than the total number of "life" events.This leads us to the following two conclusions:
1) There is more than one case of "life" in the universe
2) Since the universe is so vast, there's very little chance of interaction between our planet and another planet It all comes down to distance. Would a cat from Kansas meet a snail from Tokyo? no way. Their lives are too short. They can't track each other. They can't swim. They can't fly. They can't bridge the distance.That's our situation. We don't know how far away is the next living culture. And we can't get there, since it's light-years away from us.We simply don't have the information and transportaion to bridge the gap.The theory that we are not alone in the universe is spreading gradually It takes time, but events like the landing on the moon, movies like "ET", "Close encounters of the third kind", TV programs like "Star Trek" - they change the way the we deal with the complicated idea of the existence of alien cultures. However, the probability of actually meeting aliens in our lifetime is very low, and is close to 0%. This is why the alien biz is close to being a religion: it lives on belief alone.The kids of the 2000's treat ET's as a possibility. They know that Snow-white, Aladdin & old hags belong in fairy tales - but aliens do exist. It is hard for modern parents to tell their kids that aliens are a fable - they are not sure for themselves. It is possible that the kids of the 21st century will be more mentally capable of meeting and communicating with them.

Extraterrestrial life is life that exists and originates outside the planet Earth, the only place in the universe currently known to support life. Its existence is still hypothetical as there is currently little, if any, evidence to indicate that other planets can support life, and there is no evidence of extraterrestrial life that has been widely accepted by the scientific community. Some, however, point to moons of Jupiter or other celestial bodies that might conceivably have some forms of life (bacterial or otherwise).

Most scientists believe that if extraterrestrial life exists, its evolution occurred independently, in different places. An alternative hypothesis, held by a minority, is panspermia. This suggests that life could have been created elsewhere and spread across the universe, between habitable planets. These two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive.

I do believe there are aliens, I don’t want to sound like a crazy person but I’ve seen a huge ship flying over my house back in 2001. Check out the website below. It’s probably the best UFO website on the net. I'm sure it will answer your question.

Yes, both South Park and The X Files, have shown that there are extraterrestrial aliens living among us. My advice is, "Don't delve to deep into this subject or you may just disappear!"

My parents are aliens. And George Bush is an alien/chimp hybrid.

Yes, and they took over our government six years ago.

Seriously, you'd think there would almost have to be other life forms somewhere in this huge universe, but we have no proof of that yet. UFO sightings don't qualify as proof, by the way.

Anybody who's ever looked out at all of the vastness of the Universe knows instinctively that we aren't the only sentient life in it.
