For me it's not a question of belief. It's a question of empirical evidence as well as a question of probability.
Nope, I've never seen one.
I do think it is very likely that they exist, it just may be that the laws of physics will forever impede any meaningful communication with them though.

In a bubbleverse it could be possible to have an infinite amount of possible universes. It maybe, that we are in one of the infinite amount of universes that only has us in it.
The problem of why we haven't met aliens, though, is that I'm guessing is has to do with the fact that space is so huge.
Yes, because I feel that it is highly unlikely that we are the only intelligent life in a universe with billions of stars, planets, and solar systems. With that many places for life to arise, statistical improbabilities become pretty high in terms of likelihood.
One of my favourites. Its one that always stuck in my head.
I mean, yea, I think there's something to some "ghost" encounters. To me it's not about classifying everything into a neat little category, it's about being interested in the experiences people report and the research that people do about those experiences. I think the hurdle here, and why people think this stuff is crazy talk, is that we are very used to the idea of materialism. Of course there's also scammers, schizophrenics, well meaning but misinformed people, all that, which makes the topic tricky and frustrating to get into, but once you do dive in, it's hard not to be open to the idea that materialism is too limiting.
No one will ever give us a demonstrative single instance of the contacts of extraterrestrial civilization with the people of the earth. Only when the Earthlings themselves see something, Then there will be a grand sensation. But until this time it's all just talking and unrealistic pictures on the web.
Wouldn't this same theory apply to the myriad of people who say they have seen ghosts? Either every tale of a ghost is wrong or they exist. Same as ETs. Maybe ghosts are otherworldly creatures.
Hasn't it been proven already that the likelihood of other intelligent life existing is extremely high, due to the sheer size of the universe?
Anyone who has an opinion on this really needs to research the many many many accounts of UFO sightings, some that are even backed up with radar and many multiple witnesses. Whether it's ETs or not, it's a real phenomenon that is ridiculous to discount.
What have you seen? I'm looking for detail on experiences also. I'm pretty sure I saw a UFO last night and I'm kinda freaking out about it.
Yeah. There's gotta be something out there.
I mean, life on other planets? Absolutely. No way that out of the BILLIONS of other planets, we are the one that has life.
It does make it impossible on an individual level. And on a civilizational level it's honestly very difficult.
I think no thats imposible..
I'm on to you, platypus.
Yeah, doesn't mean it's possible to make contact though.
There are a whole bunch of aliens spamming the speculation thread with fake wall observers.
I don't believe that aliens have visited our planet. Ignoring the likelyhood that FTL may be impossible, I feel that if aliens came to Earth, it would be a HUGE deal. I don't believe the governments of the planet are all-knowing and all-powerful like some conspiracy theorists believe. They're made up of people, and definitive proof would have gotten out.
