Do you think there's life in other plantets?
And if you do, do you think they've been visiting us, or maybe the government knows about it already?
I think there are aliens, who's to say that out of all the planets in the universe, ours is the only one that can sustain life.
But I also think that a lot of those UFO sightings are BS. They're just people that want to be in a newspaper.

Oh yeah, I think there's aliens alright, but they're maybe to far advanced to be communicating with us

That, or they're not advanced enough....

That, or they're not advanced enough.... Right. We always think that aliens are more advanced than us. But what if like we were the advanced ones. What if one day, we found an earthlike planet filled with like cavemen, or like people from the 1800s. I believe in aliens, but sometimes I do wonder if maybe like we're the ones who are more advanced.

There are AT LEAST 5 septillion (10 to the 24) stars in the universe, and many of them have planets. Those are pretty good chances for intelligent life in a place other than our own. I think this century will be the century where we discover that theres life in another planet. At least in this century we can be sure that we will discover an Earth-like planet. But heck, we dont have to start searching in another star system, we can start right here. Mars at least may have had life, or has life underground, theres also Europa, one of Jupiters moons, and even Jupiter itself may have some form of life, non-carbon based of course.

An alien doesn't have to be a green guy with a big head. They could be small microscopic organisms. I'm sure we'll probably find that within this century. However, I have doubts if we'll make contact with intelligent life within this century.
Sure, I think there's intelligent life out there, but maybe its too far awat to communicate with us. It may take billions of years for our radio signals to reach them.
(By the way, why is 10 to the 24 septillion, if it has nothing to do with the number 7?)

But then again, we may be like ants trying to talk to a human.

We're definately not ants.
We've got their spaceships in Area 51 (which I think they now moved it to somewhere else). The government already knows about them, but they're trying to find a way to break the news to the people without starting a panic. We're studying their ships, and getting technology from them.

(By the way, why is 10 to the 24 septillion, if it has nothing to do with the number 7?) Oh but it does. In the American number system, the Latin prefix describes how many groups of 3 places are in the number when its written out completely, not counting the first group (a thousand). Septillion has 7 such groups.

I don't know if there's like alien spaceships that the government is hiding. I think that Aliens probably live in some other planet like trillions of lightyears away, and we just haven't found a way to talk to eachother.

But we've had only a short time to exist.
There used to be dinosaurs a long time ago, but then they were wiped out with the asteroid and all, and then we came into existance.
Aliens may have had a lot more time than us to climb up the technological ladder. Therefore, maybe they do have a way to reach us.

Maybe, but you're assuming too much.

I think aliens are probably more advanced, unless they also have had a short time of existance.
I heard once that there were aliens though. Somebody told me there were like two species of them, and they want to protect our planet's habitat.

Be sure to take some of the things people say with a grain of salt. You don't have to rule it out, but yeah a lot of stuff people say are just steaming piles of crap. Would be interesting to find out if that were fact though.

I think thats just another story somebody made up.
