there's high possibility that any extraterrestrial object existed outside our planet. So believing in aliens wouldn't make you hallucinate of something that isn't scientifically proven like god.

I think the universe is too big for us to be the only ones here. It seems very likely that, somewhere out there, there is some other form of life. I also like to believe we're not completely alone, so the possibility of aliens is exciting.

Do you believe there are other life forms/aliens out there in space or are we the only ones? Do you believe they have an effect on our planet in any way?
Our tiny world in this vast universe makes me wonder what can be on other planets, in other galaxies. It can be some other life!

I tend to agree with this. Sure, it's a tiny possibility of life elsewhere, but the universe is so huge and encompassing that it probably happened multiple times elsewhere. Not only that, but life on earth could have been triggered from elsewhere.

When I was young, I used to believe in aliens because of the movies and shows on television. When I grew up, I realized that hypotheses still have to be proven to be considered true. In this case, sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) are not enougj to conclude that aliens exist. They are claims from people which need to be further investigated. However, since the world is vast, I am not closing my mind of possibilities that we are not the only ones living in the universe.

Like others, I feel like the universe is so vast that logically, there MUST be other life out there. Even so, it kind of blows my mind to think about what that might actually look like if we ever came into contact with any.

Ever since my great uncle who worked in Area 51 said he believed in Aliens, I have.

Yes, I do believe in other forms of unknown life besides the one on our planet.

Many people said that there are aliens since the universe is big enough for all creatures. For me I believe that there are aliens.

Yes I believe in Aliens but it does not mean that I let them affect the way I handle life.

I do believe that aliens exist in the universe. I don't know if they are on our planet but I refuse to believe we are the only living creatures in the universe. There is definitely something else out there that we just haven't discovered yet.

I used to be very skeptical about aliens, but now I constantly think about how there could be life somewhere else! Scientifically, there are planets that are suitable for life so it is very possible. I would always imagine aliens as being very technologically advanced, way more than us, then thinking we were very primitive. Until there is proof however, I will just continue to watch the X Files!

I think there's a good chance of life on other planets in some other galaxy, but those galaxies are light years away. So, I don't think that life on those planets will affect us here anytime soon; but decades later who knows?

The universe is huge and mostly unexplored! I don't know about the type of aliens we see in science fiction, but since we exist on Earth, there is definitely some kind of life on another planet somewhere.

I do believe that aliens exist. I think that aliens do exist on other planets. I'm not sure whether or not I believe that there are aliens that are like us or if they are just other living thing such as bacteria. I find it a little hard to believe that there are other creatures that live similar to how we do.
