  1. Those experts ignore the ufo footage that are recorded on earth lol

    extraterrestrials will find us before we do lol thatโ€™s how we find life outside of earth. Itโ€™s unlikely that we will discover life elsewhere. The arrogance of those โ€œexpertsโ€ is why they never find life because stupid at some university thinks humans are the center of the universe

  2. This is so cool. If there is plankton, or something similar, then you know there's cooler stuff. The second thing, if there is life on another planet this close by–there is life on billions of planets.

  3. It is 120 light years away. If you traveled 186,000 miles per second, it would take you 120 years to get there. A two-way radio communication would take 240 years

  4. Duuu of course there's life on other planets and they have our plants and animals, why do you think there's so many ufo sightings. There's video of one by the military going right into the ocean. They shut down the nukes in the 50s in the cold war.

  5. The more I see of up there, the more I think it is hell for us. Down here is like heaven compared to up there. If there is life, it mostly would be like demons to us or we to them. Life on otherworlds didn't evolve alongside of us, so the chances of finding life enough like that on earth to not be harmful to us is highly unlikely from the evidence I have seen so far. Nice to know we are not alone. Hope it stays that we never meet them or them us.

  6. Life can also be just bacteria or single celled organisms, does not mean its animals or humans like us, so don't get your hopes up for a new alien pet or something.
