Live long, and prosper, Spock!
It is pure arrogance on the part of mankind to suggest that we are alone in this universe. Even those of us who believe there is a God are capable of rationalising the thought that this same God created other worlds, and not just this blue planet circling a minor (in the greater scheme of things) sun.
I don't harbour any strong desire to meet an alien, although I've recently come to the stark realisation that my mother-in-law comes from a different planet entirely!

I love "believers" who call skeptics "narrow-minded". It seems to me that skeptics are the only ones open-minded enough to consider possibilities other than those that are most emotionally appealing.
I'm sorry, I AM open to the possibility of extraterrestrials visiting earth. I do think it's possible. But there just isn't enough credible evidence in our hands right now to suggest that there's anything going on here other than myth-making and hyperbole.
There are stories upon stories from all throughout the last two millennia, recounting horrible incidents of vampirism and werewolfery and witchcraft both in Europe and around the world. If you take all of these stories at face value, one is moved to believe that vampires and werewolves and witches actually existed and did unspeakable things.
Today we know better. But then were did all the stories come from? How could people just make this stuff up? There MUST be something going on, mustn't there?
Well, maybe not. I'll be waiting for the flying saucers to land on the White House lawn. Until then, I remain a skeptic.

Haven't had any experiences myself, but considering the evidence that Mars once had life (or still has), along with a few moons around Jupiter and Saturn that are likely candidates, it seems impossible to me that life would not have evolved elsewhere but in this little back-alley corner of the galaxy, and eventually become intelligent enough to look up at the stars and wonder what aliens look like (Hairless upright monkeys?! Surely not! That's stretching it, Nsdfooogsrath, even for you, that's stretching it!)

My wife & I together with a friend had an experience with a disk on the ground in 1973 that's why we know we are not alone!
It was a wonderfull profound experience for us both to share which has enriched our lives!
We are just two of many tens of thousands of witnesses all over the world who are dismissed as evidence for the reality of the fact we are not alone yet witness evidence is crucial in the courts!
It's time for common sense!

I don't dispute the possibility of aliens. In fact most scientists accept the possibility of other life forms in the Universe. I just don't think that we have seen any convincing evidence of contact between humans and aliens, so far.
One good sharp photograph, or even better, a video, would do it for me.

I was in New Hampshire years ago saw a silver disc fly by the the top of a mountain I went to tell my ex husband we turned around it was gone. I know I saw something.
There is a great book called "The Interrupted Journey" By
Jonathan Fuller, it is a true story about Betty and Barney Hill who were abducted in the 1960's by aliens and put under hypnosis and relived their experience

Well, i believe the question is really whether or not you're narrow-minded enough to only take one opinion into consideration.
Hell, for me it's just as likely that aliens don't exist - at least going by personal experience.
Beyond my personal experience, there is the entire universe.

there are billions of stars and many or maybe most have planets so the chances are that there are planets on which life can develop and some will be more advanced than we are but there are no such planets in our solar system and the distances involved to other stars which may have inhabited planets are so enormous that it is highly unlikely they could reach us. this is not being narrow minded just using plain common sense

about 20 years ago a tank of helium was delivered to a friends welding shop by mistake and we decided to have some fun. someone went to the flea market and bought 100 little keychain flashlights and that night we filled garbage bags and tied a flashlight to it with a length of fishing line. we got a couple of pickups and started letting them go about dark. they were too heavy to rise much higher that a couple hundred feet. the next thing our scanners started going crazy with reports of ufo`s and a few people at work the next day told me stories of seeing all sorts of things. no one said they saw a hefty bag with a little light though. but yes to your guestion i think there is life elsewere i just don`t know what it looks like.

I don't believe we are the only living,thinking beings in the universe.
