ARE ALIENS REAL???

“There are two possibilities: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

That is a quote that can really make you think. Whether or not aliens (or just other life forms not from Earth) exist has been debated for centuries. I am just going to say right off the bat that I 100% believe that life, whether it is intelligent or not, exists somewhere other than Earth. The universe is so vast that is seems almost impossible that the species on our planet are the only life forms. I will say though, I do not believe aliens are like the little green men stereotype. Aliens could be anything from a tiny single celled organism to something that is much like a human, or even more intelligent. Here is some evidence that the possibility of aliens existing is actually a reality.

1: Area 51. I could write for hours on this one topic alone, as there is so much superstition and conspiracy involving this one topic. It was actually debated whether or not Area 51 even existed, but after several presidents discussed the topic, it was clear that it was actually being used for secret purposes. President Obama actually did acknowledge the existence of the site, but refused to disclose any information about it which implies that the government is trying to institute a cover up for it. As usual, the government is hiding things. You can actually look it up on Google Earth; its coordinates are 37°13'02.94”N and 115°50’49.35”W.

2: UFO sightings. I know that several of you will say that everyone who has claimed to see a UFO is just lying to get attention. However, there are pictures that show little objects in the sky. But, these photos aren’t taken as legitimate evidence, as 75% of them are probably photoshopped. I actually think I saw something along these lines myself, but I honestly can’t remember if it was an actual event that happened or if it is just something my mind created. (Maybe I was abducted and they erased my memory xD)

3: Ancient evidence. This is actually pretty strange. In the painting “The Madonna with Saint Giovannino”, there is something strange in the upper right corner of the picture. A strange, disk-like object is flying through the air, and a man is looking at it from a hill in the background. No one can really explain what it is, and it is hard to deny that it does in fact appear like a UFO.

4: The “Wow” signal. In 1977, a radio signal was received from space. It is simply known as the “Wow” signal because scientist Jerry Ehman was so amazed that he circled 6EQUJ5 and wrote wow next to it. It was much to powerful to just be a signal sent from deep space, and the signal had several characteristics of an interstellar broadcast.

5: Crop circles. Everyone is familiar with these. There really isn’t a scientific way of explaining them, but there are countless theories, with aliens being the most popular one.

There is so much evidence to show that aliens could very well exist, so next time someone brings up the possibility, consider these few things before shooting down the idea.
