Are We or are We Not Alone in the Universe?

Many people believe the United States military uses Area 51 as a repository for extraterrestrial beings and objects. The mystery of Area 51 and what takes place there intrigues people. Although the stories and articles that are reported have never been confirmed with physical evidence or facts the idea alone that aliens may be living on Earth simply makes people curious. If the US government did not keep the operations of Area 51 a secret to the public people would not speculate that other life forms are on Earth, however the reason Americans are so curious is because they are being left in the dark and do not have any answers. Furthermore, with how massive our galaxy has already been discovered to be nobody should rule out the possibility that extraterrestrial beings have or currently are being held at the Area 51 base.

I just don’t simply believe it because there is a lot of evidence that shows there is no extraterrestrial life. Even in the past few years since HD cameras on your phone have become available for everyone UFO “sightings” have gone down tremendously. It might be though that people are just looking down at their phones so much though that people are never looking up anymore.

Alien invasion has been on the minds of many, and it is not something to take lightly. Aliens are real, the United States government has confirmed this, and these craft may be even closer than some claim. Unexplainable UFO sightings have been on the rise, popularized with the crash at Roswell, and they are not going anywhere. The fact that aliens are involved in these sightings is indisputable, but there are people who refuse to accept the truth. Many people state that Area 51 is just a “military base” and Roswell was just a spy balloon crash, but there is proof that there are aliens involved in both Area 51 and Roswell.

Even though the three big reasons why aliens do not exist has been explained for this argument, there are still smaller reasons that add to the fact that there are no other existing alien civilizations other than ours here on Earth. One of those reasons is that governments do not give very much evidence supporting the existence of alien civilization. In fact, European governments have completely disclosed everything they know about UFO’s. The only evidence most governments give out to the public is testimonial evidence. There has never been any real hard physical evidence. Another reason is that scientists, in a sense, know that aliens can not exist, but they use the ridicule excuse as a cover up to explain why they do not admit UFO’s are real. Scientists are supposedly afraid of the ridicule they would receive if they would happen to admit aliens do exist. On the other hand, scientists lie and cheat to gain fame and fortune for all kinds of research and investigations. The discovery of UFO’s would make them big and famous, but yet all

We live in a universe that is about 46 billion light years old. In a world, as massive as ours there must be some form of extraterrestrial life out in the galaxy. For thousands of years ancient peoples, such as the Greeks, have wondered the same question. Are we alone? As our technology advances, things such as videos and photographs are surfacing of people claiming to see such alien life. Whether it is an unidentified flying object, or if it’s from someone claiming to see an actual alien, there are thousands of people that believe they have seen proof. Some also claim that the government is hiding things behind our backs, like the Roswell UFO incident for example. Though many people refuse to believe in the existence of alien life forms until they see evidence, the fact that multitudes of people have eye-witness accounts, the improbability that we are alone, and the idea that we have thought of aliens so long, bring forth the evidence that proves something is out there.

    Danny Crichton, in his article, “Fear Not The Robot,” tells that this fear is typical. It is like a revolving door. Every few years the fears come back. Typically they are caused by books and articles.

Are we alone? Are there people around us? Has anyone heard about aliens? Are they real? Can you answer all of those questions, if not, then just keep reading. In my opinion aliens do exist and there are plenty of evidence to prove they exist.

Imagine if all power was out and aliens were going to invade you. You’ll be freaked out right? It’s just like the teleplay “Monsters Are Due On Maple Street.” In the 1960s, there was a teleplay created by the Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was the founder of the Twilight Zone. The Twilight zone was a show that aired about every week. The Twilight zone was a supernatural, science-fiction, and a scary show. There were two teleplays made one in the 1960s and one in 2003. All I’m saying is FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO TURN ON EACH OTHER.

Throughout history people are afraid of the unknown people kill one another because they are afraid the other person might kill them first, so they strike first. The fear of new technology is the same, individuals do not understand so they want to kill it off, or they do not want to give technology a chance. This is an irrational fear because technology can bring great advances to the world such as the printing press and the telephone.

How does science fiction capture society’s fears? Even though they could barely explain what's happening, both H.G. Wells from The War of the Worlds and Ray Bradbury from “Zero Hour” both explain what's happening during an alien Invasion. Both text show that the characters are confused and scared and have odd appearances.

Exobiology is the science that is concerned with the search for life in outer space; it may be called as astrobiology as well. The search for life in outer space has consumed the imagination of the humankind for long time ago. Nowadays, humankind has made a progress and found major discoveries in the quest for life existence in the universe and outer space because of the advancement of the technology. However, in the past, exobiology was considered as a science without a subject, where the people and other scientists laughed at and ridiculed the famous scientist and biologist Joshua Lederberg when he originated the term exobiology. Some people argue that life exists elsewhere in the universe, however, others believe that life only exist on Earth. A new study reveals that our galaxy, the Milky Way, has 100 billion or so stars, where 17 billion of them are Earth-size alien planets, and probably many more. The huge size of the galaxy increases the probability of life existence in the outer space. Are we alone in the universe? This question has captured the imaginations of scientist, theologians, and astrobiologists. However, they don’t know the answer yet. Understanding the complete definition of life and how life originated, and determining the techniques used for searching for life existence in outer space and evidences found can help to answer the question of “Are we alone in the universe?”

Most astronomers and scientists seem firmly convinced of this fact. Although there is not any direct (or even indirect) evidence to support these claims that other sentient life is sharing the universe with us. However, this lack of evidence showing that extraterrestrial life forms exist is not proof that they do not exist. It just does not seem logical that our planet is the only place where life and intelligence could have developed. The odds are billions against life of some form being unique to the Earth only. The Earth is unimportant in the grand scale of things in the galaxy. By this I am referring to its' size and position in the universe. In fact, the American Association for the Advancement of Science suggests that the true question that we should be

Extraterrestrial encounters of all forms and kinds leave some kind of evidence whether it is physical or non tangible evidence like a person’s story of seeing a flying saucer or possesses photos of the unidentified flying object. These forms of evidence aren’t always the most reliable as many are reported false and considered hoaxes. Ever since the incident at Roswell, any information or evidence that proves other worldly existence automatically becomes the center of attention and can bring an individual fame and even

Many people who live on Earth are close minded to what is really out there in the universe. They cannot even begin to fathom the vastness of it and how Earth is just a tiny little speck compared to everything else out there. From the planets to the stars and out towards the edge of the unknown, we can only see what science provides us with. From this, we know that we are nothing but a tiny planet located in a solar system of millions in a galaxy of many more in the universe.

Perhaps infinite, there lies a vast cosmos beyond the terrestrial world humans call home. With modern technology, we are capable of viewing bodies several light years away. In the present day, physically travelling to such places is outside the realm of possibility. However, with proper funding and support from the American government, NASA may be able to send men deeper into space than ever before using a new telescope known as the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble (Eicher, 2012). America’s government has been cutting down on the budget unfortunately, and according to (Chang, 2012), the retrieval of Martian rock and gas has been postponed from the next few years to the next decade due to budget cuts. Cancellation is
