Seriously. Real talk. Or Nyquil talk.

I'm a big believer. I've even seen a ufo. There's always talk of sightings by wright patt.. because that's where they supposedly took the Roswell crash pieces and bodies. I like to watch alien documentaries lol.

    Considering that there's so many inhospitable areas, upon earth alone that some species still thrive within; I believe that there's!

    Right Right!

    Space is pretty infinite as well.

    Billions and billions of years in the universe and planets in the universe and no evidence of intelligent life detected yet.

    Nor is there yet detected any evidence of non-intelligent life.

    Well, there is probably life elsewhere in the universe.

    Have they traveled to Earth? Nope.

    .... it makes for fun movies tho', right?

    With the size of the universe i'm pretty certain that we're not alone. However, I don't think we're likely to ever interact with them. At least not for a few hundred years until technology advances. :p

    How would you know if they've been here? I highly doubt the government will tell us.. so many theories.

    Maybe we need Zenon and Protozoa.. lol

    I'm thinking.... you hear about UFO sightings near trailer parks and corn fields.

    If an alien culture is so advanced, why visit a trailer park? Why not Paris?

    Stupid ole' aliens.

    The size of the universe is almost beyond comprehension.

    Traveling the universe, looking for life, is going to take some time.

    Besides, if alien life has evolved far enough to master long range space travel, we don't want them here.
    They would most likely be predatory in nature. I don't want to become a human corn dog for some alien dude.

    Considering the large number of planets and stars and galaxies, I would be more surprised if there were no aliens.

    But I don't believe they have come to earth and abducted farmers or cows etc

    I think there is alien life in the universe. Whether or not it is humanoid...I wonder. There are probably many types of alien life.

    I used this as a source to form the equation:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation#Estimates

    X = Number of stars in observable universe
    R* = the average rate of star formation in our galaxy
    fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets
    ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
    fl = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point
    fi = the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations)

    X = 70 billion trillion (7 x 10^22) from wikipedia
    R* = 1.5–3 (current estimate taken from wikipedia)
    fp = >0.99 (current estimate taken from wikipedia)
    ne = 0.1 (current estimate taken from wikipedia)
    fl = 0 to 1, we simply do not know and I hypothesize to be 1 in a million 0.000001
    fi = 0 to 1, we simply do not know and I hypothesize to be 1 in a million 0.000001

    From this the answer is that at least 103950 million planets have developed or will develop intelligent life on the stars currently existing in the observable universe.

    My estimates fl and fi may be low or high.

    Made some edits, do not need that variable R* as X already has the total number of stars currently in our observable universe.

    Stupid ole' aliens.

    There have been sightings all over. Large cities, small cities. I've not heard to many being in trailer parks lol.
    All these UFO's you have seen are definitely covert military ops and drills for a different kind of warfare or testing equipment.

    Life is possible in the outer space. No proof yet. Or at least it's not been disclosed.

    How would you know though? Have you seen what I've seen? Lol

    Explain the UFO you saw, as UFO's can be earth based.

    It is a mathematical certainty that other life forms outside our solar systems exist. It is also a mathematical certainty that no two intelligent life forms will ever come into contact with each other.
    There are many theories, one of the most popular is Drake's Theory. Basically, says there are between 100 and 100,000,000 in the milky way alone. Of course, the Fermi paradox contradicts Drake. So I guess we're back to guessing.

    Does it matter? Physics mean that they wouldn't be able to reach us, or we them. We can't even communicate meaningfully with other species on our own world, which have far more in common with us than life which arose independently on another planet would. The overwhelming likelihood is that if there were intelligent species elsewhere, we would not even recognize them, much less be able to communicate. We don't even understand how schools of fish stay together, and fish are our relatives and neighbors.

    Do I believe humanoid aliens have visited earth in little ships which are conveniently just enough advanced from our own that they seem possible to someone with an familiarity with human spacecraft and no grasp of relativity? Nope. Absolutely not. But I find it fascinating that so many people are drawn to that belief.
