Yes, and I think, potentially, that it could be so advanced that we don't have the ability to recognize some or all of them.

Yes. The older I get, the more I believe it is actually a Men in Black kind of situation.

I do! Perhaps alien life could even be hiding in plain sight on Earth, and someday we will discover a virus or a bacteria that looks nothing like anything else on Earth and could've hitched a ride on a meteorite!

Has intelligent life that we could communicate with ever existed in time? Yes. Does it exist in this exact moment? Unlikely. Is it or is it ever been in a proximity that we could communicate? No.

That’s not to say there isn’t intelligent life that we cannot understand or communicate with. If we exist inside the brain of some universally large creature, and our existence is just luck, we won’t ever be able to communicate.

Of course Aliens is real, I didn't imagine the movie.

Extraterrestrial life on Earth, and government coverups? Zero evidence.

I have something new to say about this. Hold on.

It's possible they're out there but it doesn't change my life at all one bit. My take-away is that hopefully I live long enough to get to see them for myself if they're out there, out of sheer curiosity for how intelligence could evolve from unknown circumstances.

As other people have said we cannot for of they do our do not exist.

That said thinking about how big the universe is, my personal opinion is they have to exist.

As for governments covering them up.... highly unlikely. They can't even cover up their dirty laundry, let alone aliens

I'm open to the idea of life outside of Earth, but I'm sceptical that governments can keep them secret when they can't keep sex scandals, drug use or financial crimes by leaders secret.

Capital A Aliens, all the conspiracy theory stuff? No, absolutely not. I think the people of the future will see that exactly the way we see demons, angels, djinn, all the stuff people used to believe in. It's a religious belief not science, no matter the pseudoscientific jargon it's wrapped in.

Aliens somewhere out in the universe? Yes I believe there are more planets with life, out there.

And I also believe there is Something - whatever the force is, that people used to call demons and now call Aliens, I do think it's something, I just think that people convinced it's aliens are as wrong as the people who were convinced it was whatever else in the past.

I would believe in alternate realities overlapping ours before I would believe in living organic beings traversing the vastness of space to get here, then hiding and yet talking to governments or individuals somehow at the same time.

Nope.

I just read that as "Do you believe in Asians?" and at first I wondered whether that was racist, then I went like "Nooo, Asians, go!! I believe in you!! You can do it!!"
