Assuming you mean extra-terrestrials, or "people not of this planet", sure.
I mean, the odds that any of them coming to visit actually are low percentage (because there'd have to be a loophole or three in the physics to work out that we don't know about as yet), but astronomers have discovered and/or statistically inferred the existence of some 200-odd planets already around distant suns, and while many of them are either "hot Jupiters" or are too far away from the star, some few aren't either of these....and there seems to be more planetary discoveries on the way.
So yeah, given that we have *so many* stars *and planets* in the neighborhood...well, as others have mentioned, it does seem kind of arrogant to just blindly assume that we're the only ones around, so to speak.
Now....if only we can make some sort of contact. Hell, I'd settle for just picking up another world's TV or radio signals at this point--though I'd have to wonder if we aren't already contaminating things a bit much ourselves in this regard....
Thanks for your time. ^_^

Think about this. A very advanced race living on an arm a quarter of the way around this galaxy from us with radio signal receiving dishes turned toward us. They have been waiting for a thousand years for an intelligent signal. Our first intelligent radio signals were very weak and broadcast about 150 years ago. They'll still be waiting to hear something coherent 100 years from now.
They might have been asking "Do you all believe in aliens? Why?" if we haven't heard anything in 150 years we obviously aren't getting anything on those disks paid for with tax money..

If you are referring to extraterrestrials piloting unidentified flying objects, I am not a ufologist, although I do have a sister who is not only a believer but is quite certain that she was abducted and has had some sort of device implanted into her brain to enable her to receive communications from the aliens!! My own reasons for disbelief include that, for such intergalactic space travel to be feasible/possible, the aliens would have had to have learned how to circumvent the laws of physics, since they would be travelling cosmic distances calculated in light years. My sister, however, assumes that they have indeed discovered those alternative means of space travel as do, I feel certain, the majority of ufologists. I, conversely, contend that there is no definitive proof of their existence (even Roswell or Area 51 provide no real evidence of them). My sister would maintain that there are logical reasons for the aliens' refusal to reveal themselves, and, of course, there are, because such revelation undoubtedly would result in global panic. Thus, there are reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue which leaves it perpetually open to interesting debate...

They come from The Pleadian sector to work in the USA. They should be given work visas and a opportunity for citizenship.
Them are grey Aliens.

The Vishnu Purana says that the earth is merely one of
thousands of millions of inhabited worlds like itself
to be found in the universe. Since they are created by
the one Alimighty who is infinite, they all must look
similar. This excludes the possibility of E.T. (extra
terrestial beings with fantastic gears) proposed by
some science finction writers.

i refer to aliens as any other life forms in space other than those on earth...the existence of aliens is very possibe, saying that aliens don't exist just limits the power of God.....consider the universe like a bag of rice (rice being planets), the probability that more than one grain of rice sustaining life is very likely..:)

Because I am not so vain as to believe that in all the universe earth is the only rock to have generated life.

There are an estimated billion billion planets in our universe...that's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. So let's say the chances of life on any given planet is 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 then that still leaves 1,000 planets with life....how smart they are, or if we'll ever meet is a different story....
