There's got to be life out there and if it's intelligent and advanced enough for inter-stellar travel then they're definitely going to avoid this planet! |

I don’t believe we’re alone in this vast universe and space however I do think that the UFO sightings and ET visits etc are human  controversial of course but I think humans came to this planet many may many moons ago and populated it and the sightings are humans coming to check on their work  |

The universe is 13.8 billion years old, the earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago. In another half a billion years or so the sun will expand so large that our oceans will boil and evaporate extinguishing all life on earth.
If conscious life had taken just 10% longer to have evolved we would never have existed.
I wonder how many other dead planets out there either didn't, or are still evolving..?
We assume alien life must be far in advance of us, and if we've been visited that would of course be the case. But space is far to infinite in its size for us to support the only life within it, there has to be life out there and lots of it... less advanced, more advanced and civilisations that have already faced the same fate that we will in 500 million years time. |

Looking at the sky doesn’t trigger this thought, I’m happy that it’s there for someone to find one day. Lack of proof is incidental.
What I *do* do, specifically when looking at the moon, is think who else is also looking at the exact same thing at that moment in time, and if you’re ever feeling lonely it makes me feel less so to know someone somewhere is doing exactly what I am doing |

I lost my Dad whilst I was living in Australia, the severity of his illness was kept from me until it was too late for me to get back whilst he was alive.
The last phone conversation we had I was 10,000 miles away saying our goodbye's and we were both looking at the moon at the same time and both felt a funny kind of connection... |

Last time I looked to the Skies At Night was a few months back and I saw my first ever shooting star.
Was pretty awesome (for me). I felt like I’d been blessed. But then I remembered ET so legged it inside before little aliens could invade my wardrobe. |

Given the quantity of stars out there, I think the chances of there not being life on other planets is slim, but whether any intelligent life would ever work out how to travel the distances between them in any sensible way seems unlikely. And even being able to communicate, we have had the technology to send and receive messages into space for such a small amount of time that the chances of another civilisation also being at that stage and that they heard us and responded already is very slim. Even if life existed on the next nearest solar system, a message would take 4.25 years to get from here to there and same again back. The distances and the time required for any of these things is too great for us to have yet registered as existing to anyone else. |
