But I think if there was any life from outer space around this exact planet we would know it already, so honestly I don't really believe that any of these seen UFOs have been actual aliens. Technically, we have no indication, nor any true scientific proof that life may exist outside of earth, or our solar system. The fact is, whatever force caused life to begin (which shall forever be a mystery) it is quite possible that those conditions caused life to sprout here, and that it has not occured elsewhere in the universe. The nearest star is 8 light years away (proxima centauri) and it has no planets, therefore nowhere for life to exist. The nearest star with planets is probably 50 light years away, and those planets may not have the right life-supporting conditions. Plus, if life was first generated here, it would takes millions of years for any vessel, be it comet or asteroid, to make it to the next habitable location, and all that time is in the lifeless, near absolute zero conditions of deep space. I believe it is entirely possible that no life exists outside of our solar system, and if there is, the chances of that life being as intelligent or more than humans is incredibly slim. Take the 8.7 million species projected to live on earth, only one out of 8.7 million is intelligent enough to do what we do. Now say there is another race outside of earth just like us, or more intelligent, why would they invest their resources and hundred of thousands (to millions) of year traveling across the expanse of lifeless space, only to reach earth, flash by in a few minutes, and leave? That is the question. That is why I think they don't exist. Lightspeed travel is impossible for living beings, therefore the time spent is to great for any intelligent beings to not stop here, and make contact, or at least linger to observe.

I believe that there is no magical force that is needed to start life, but instead life can start anywhere where conditions for it are good enough. There are so huge amount of planets in the universe that surely somewhere there are many earth like planets with water and other things that have made life on earth possible. I can't see why life couldn't develop in those places too.

Amount of planets is simply so very huge that there must be probably millions of planets out there that could support life. Also maybe it doesn't even require exactly earth like conditions to happen, who knows. Also some forms of life surely could sustain travelling speed of flight.

And like said I don't believe that there are or have ever been aliens on this planet, but I highly believe that they do exist somewhere. Just any planet with water, right resources and right distance from nearest star/stars could have life.
