Does anyone else believe in Aliens? Or the real life Men in Black? Or any alien adjacent things?

I believe in aliens as a matter of probability. There's no way, among all the planets among all the stars, that we are the ONLY sentient, self-aware species in the ENTIRE universe. I just don't buy the odds of it. Having said that, that same vastness also has me believing that if there are aliens out there, we'll probably never run across them, just because the universe is that big.

The chances of Earth being the only planet in the entire universe to actually have life on it are so absurdly small that it would be the height of arrogance believe we are alone.
That said, I think there's a pretty good chance that any other civilisations out there probably aren't at a technological level to crack interstellar travel either, so I don't believe aliens are even aware of this planet's existence, much less visited it.

Well, something keeps abducting me and probing my ass and my wife swears it's not her.
But yeah, I believe in aliens. Not so much little green men interested in my anus but as life out in the universe doing what life does.

There could literally be billions of planets with spacefaring civilisations living on them who could all go extinct before a single one ever meets, because the challenges of even getting to the star system next door are so immense.

I'd imagine some kind of notable life has to exist just by nature of the vastness of the universe, but there's no guarantee it's sentient and we'll certainly never meet it.

I believe there are aliens out there on other worlds, I do not believe they have, or even can visit earth. It's telling how reports of visitations and UFO footage seem to have dried up now everyone carries a high resolution camera with them.

There almost certainly are other planets in the universe with life, some even with intelligent life.
Have they visited Earth? I don't think so.

If aliens are real, they are too far to reach us

Life definitely exists out there...
To what level is debatable. The vastness of the universe allows for anything to be possible, but what makes humans especially special is due to tens of thousands of specific events, and unique circumstances rare in general.
Again, nothing is impossible, but intelligent life similar to us is probably still extraordinarily rare in the universe. If there are roughly 200 billion galaxies out there, I would guess we'd be fortunate to find life in 1% of them, so you could probably only guess how rare intelligent life would be.

Yes, most likely. Have any visited Earth with technology that’s centuries ahead of us? Highly unlikely. If they do exist, we’re all working on the same time scale

Aliens I believe do visit us, but we could be off limits for first contact due to our warring nature.

That octopus has purple on it. Octopus is an alien, just like purple is a fruit.

Besides the vastness of distance, there's the vastness of time. It's microscopic in the grand scheme of things to be a million years out either way. There could be a hugely advanced species that could travel the galaxy, nut the chances of them lining the timing up are incredible.
