From UFO's to Crop Circles: Do Aliens Exist? Has SETI ever found any proof?

I want people to post any evidence they feel supports the idea that Intelligent Alien life exists and has visited our planet.

I am and always have been a skeptic UFO's. I believe most are a hoax and some are just people seeing planes, satelites or whatnot.

Also, I don't believe in crop circles at all. I believe everyone of them are man made hoax's.

But please, convince me I am wrong if you can.

Most paranormal events are based on misunderstandings and/or ignorance.

So, I can't convince you.

Maybe you should put paranormal in quotation marks . Carl Sagan apparently comes to this conclusion in the book "The Demon Haunted World"

http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Haunted-...8702867&sr=8-1

Personally, I believe that aliens exist, and by that I mean extraterrestrial life. Whether or not this life is intelligent or like anything else we've seen, I don't know. I'm also skeptical that anybody has evidence of this extraterrestrial life. Our universe is unimaginably massive compared to Earth, and we don't have the technology to traverse even relatively small distances yet. For the most part, we're waiting for this evidence to come to us (not by choice), and this could take some time...

Yes, I too believe that there are aliens.

Now, if you were an alien, would you come to a new world and leave markings on corn fields?

Have to agree with Sagan on that one. I think it's very very unlikely that in the entirety of the universe our planet would be the only one with life. I'm also skeptical that we've ever had any form of contact with extra terrestrials as so many conditions would have to be met for that to occur.

These guys are experts at constructing crop circles overnight.

While there may be some form of life elsewhere in the universe, I will not appeal to conspiracy theories to support any type of visitation. There may not be intelligent life, but I think it's likely that there may exist some form of microbial life.

Just because of the sheer size of the universe I think it's very, very likely that there is other life somewhere out there. Whether or not that life is intelligent is another question entirely and I certainly don't think we will see other life any time soon.

No one can prove UFOs and crop circles are hoaxes 100% of the time: Can't be done. I agree with the notion that the universe is huge beyond our comprehension and there must be other life forms out there: Might be single cells, bugs, lobsters or little green men. You and I are too insignificant to rightfully presume to be so dismissive.
