Is there life out there amongst the stars?
Are we being observed by an advanced species?
Who helped build the pyramids?
How did those statues get on Easter Island?
Why did Celts build large stone structures on Salisbury Hill?
How did the Mayans develop their calendar?
Crop circles, Rosswell, Bermuda Triangle, etc?
Elaborate hoaxes? The wonder of primitive cultures?

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

I believe we are not alone. They have visited us in History but we know the government doesn't want us to know

There's a lot better chance of their being Aliens than a god. Almost 100% better.

I have a friend who is an Alien, he quite often doesn't meet up with me when he said he would, so no, I don't believe in Aliens, they are liars.

It is a complex issue.
As a child, of about 10, I saw what appeared to be a "flying saucer" but was smart enough to not mention it as my father would have ridiculed me.
[He was of the, "We'll never be able to get into space!" philosophy - and rather negative about anything out of the ordinary.]

Statistically, it seems inevitable that there are other planets around other suns in the "habitable zone", where life may have evolved, and not yet extinguished itself.
But the distances are such that, unless Einstein is proved wrong, we are unlikely, ever, to know for sure.
The nearest star Proxima Centauri is 4.2 years away at light speed, and not a good candidate for supporting life on orbiting planets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri

Alpha Centauri [A and B] - it is a binary system - looks more promising as the twin stars are more like our sun in type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri

So, I voted "Maybe".
I don't think "aliens" had or have anything to do with the things on TRB's list above - Immanuel Velikovsky's explanation may be more plausible.

I only believe in Mork from Ork.

I think Elvis was an Alien.....

No just stating the opinion of a logical sane person.

PS Paris Fowden was the Alien!

I don't believe in Aliens, but if they ever come for my Continuum Transfunctioner I'll vote in this poll.

Eddie McGuire is definatly one and so is Tom Cruise and any one who follows what Tom Cruise believes except maybe Katie Holmes.

I've been involved in cover ups for most of my working career. I'd be disappointed if someone is not covering up the existence of aliens.

Absolutely ... case in point, no doubt in my mind that Hutchy hails from Uranus.

funny as poll.. what made you think of asking that??

I have no doubt there's forms of life out there. There's plenty of organic compounds in amongst the universe.

Intelligent? Possibly but they wouldn't bother with us. They probably don't even know we're here.

Comedy answer: There's no Port Adelaide Football Club on another world, so there's definitely intelligent life out there.

Do you believe in Aliens?

I am of the belief that if life can exist on this planet and the Universe is limitless then sure, why not? Why cant there be life elsewhere?

Just because Earth has provided the right conditions to support life and those planets closer or further to our Sun do not, it does not mean either similar conditions are found elsewhere in another Universe or that other beings have been able to adapt to far harsher and less hospitibal conditions than the ones we experience.
