Do Aliens from Outer Space Exist?
I have a gut feeling these aliens from outer space exist. They got to exist somehow and I'm surprised our government keeps denying their existence.

They're mostly in the Chicago area but come November they'll be in Ohio and Florida.
Another reason for voter ID.

Our righties are all for big government when it comes to keeping perfectly fine aliens from voting!

They're not aliens; they're just undocumented. I think ACORN has registered a few of them.

If they fly all the way from outer space to vote, shouldn't we let them?

I suppose you would appreciate a serious answer, even though we are on a SHMB.
Our planet just happens to be an ideal distance from a rather unremarkable yellow star to enable liquid water to exist and the atmosphere to contain a substantial amount of oxygen in conjunction with Carbon Dioxide to make both plant and animal life possible.
There are probably a trillion, times a trillion stars exactly like our sun, and in all probability, they have planets revolving around them. Due to the vast numbers, there are probably millions upon millions of planets with a diameter similiar to Earths that are at a distance that produces ideal conditions for life.
So yes, there is Alien life out there. Some of it might be millions of years ahead of us in their evolutionary progress, others might just be enterring the phase where a virus is the most advanced form.
I do not think any Alien Life Forms have visited Earth. The reason I say this is because if they did, they would have probably enslaved every body here and stripped Earth of anything usuable.
Like Steven Hawkins said a while back. If we do get visited by a very advanced Alien Race, do not assume they would be friendly. They in all likeyhood are looking for a new place to live.

No, unless they have superior fire power, and then it wouldn't matter who was elected anyway.

I'm still searching for intelligent life on this planet.

Charles Stross made a point in a talk recently. With everything we know right now, the energy costs for interstellar travel are staggering. Even assuming some major breakthroughs in completely unknown physics, it is likely to take a LOT of power to move something that far, that fast, and that means that a starship is going to be BIG, to carry a big enough powerplant. (One of Heinlein's juvenile novels, that assumed FTL travel, had one character pointing out that a starship carried the power of a small star in its belly. Another character replied something like "Well, a VERY small star. But go on."
At the same time, my father graduated from college in 1951. During his freshman year, they were telling the engineering students that supersonic flight was impossible. By the time he graduated, the Bell X-1, and Yeager's first supersonic flight, had been declassified, and they were saying it was possible, but would never be economically feasible.
And Heinlein once observed that straight linear extrapolation of a curve showing maximum possible travel speed against the year it was achieved predicted faster-than-light travel before the end of the 20th century.
My point in all the above is that, by the time any race gets to the point of being able to build FTL starships, and make it out of their own solar system, they'll probably be fully capable of doing anything they want with any kind of real estate they find, whether it is in the "Goldilocks Zone" or not.

Alien life does exist.
It's a mathematical probability.
Wether we could communicate is another story.

Crap. I just saw a Michio Kaku video where he explained by "folding" the universe, we could travel huge distances in short periods of time. I can't find it now.
Michio Kaku is fascinating whatever he's discussing.

The odds of there not being extraterrestrial life seem infintesimally small. The odds of the government having firm proof of said extraterrestrial life and successfully keeping it a secret are almost equally small.
I've long subscribed to the notion that three people can keep a secret 5% of the time if two of them are dead. On a good day.

Actually, I absolute believe you will find the ET's in D.C. and just about any state capitol building while the legislature is in session.
I would also not be a bit surprised if some of them are here on this board.
