Just saying.Lol so let's keep it to a poll.Thanks
Here's how I look at the "aliens" question:
In the Milky Way Galaxy there are 100s of Billions of stars. There are estimated to be equally as many galaxies in the universe. Let's assume that each galaxy is roughly the same size, on average... That would mean there are (100s of billions x 100s of billions).... Well..a LOT of stars.
Even if the chances of intelligent life on other planets are extremely small (and I think that's the case), say 1 in 1,000,000,000 or (even 1 trillion) odds... Just simply by odds/numbers alone there are thousands or even millions of planets that support intelligent life.
Now. Here's the problem. The nearest known star is just over 4 light-years away. Our fastest ship (I could be wrong, but I think it's a probe-Voyager 1, I think) is traveling at about 38,000 miles per hour. At that speed it will take roughly 75,000 years to reach this star.
How does this relate to the question? ...The distances between star systems is just so vast that even with relatively good odds that intelligent life exists, we are just simply too far away. If there is more advanced technology out there (I'm sure there is), it would have to be SO much more advanced to traverse these distances in a reasonable amount of time, and I doubt "aliens" with that technology would go through all that trouble to get here and just "sneak around" spying and grabbing people.

I think the odds are pretty good that there is other life forms out there.

70 kilometers per second. Helios II, marginally faster, lays claim to being the fastest man-made object in history.
70 (kilometers per second) = 156 585.54 mph
Still not fast enough

I don't know how to vote until I understand your definition of UFO.
Do you mean, Unidentified Intelligent ALIEN Flying Objects observed on Earth, if so no.
I believed the LIVE(operational or actually living) ones are Earth made and there may be dead ones from ALIEN space. My reasoning being that when we probe a planet, our device will continue to explore until mission is over or simply the device is dead. Therefore, I assume other intelligent life form probably would do the same, probe until it's dead. However from all the sightings we have so far, "UFO" appear and disappear too quickly and never seen again in the same form.

I'll sum it up:
UFO- unidentified flying objects itself is an extremely open term.
Yes they are real, BUT they are usually classified military projects that the public is not allowed to see. That's why they fly mostly at night, they're light patterns are never recognizeable because the planes are on completely different platforms than we have seen before. They do maneuvers that we mere humans see as impossible because they employ the latest technology available.
Former ufo's were:
SR-71 blackbird
Stealth bomber
F-22
And a $@&!load of other planes that were developed over the years.
Sometimes it's good for the government/military to have secrets.

Who said that alien ships need to travel at those speeds. With the technology they have I'm sure they have a machine they can just jump to our solar system

I always loved this fascinatingly disturbing argument that starts around 8 mins into the video.

I haven't seen 1 with my own eyes. But, I like the idea of intelligent life, key word intelligent.... Visiting us, that would explain lots of things throughout our history and how fast we or at least most of us are evolving... Also I never seen a ghost...,

Love the subject.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is great. He's also an excellent speaker as well as a brilliant mind.
It's definitely a scary argument.

And here comes the politics....
Neil is fun to watch during speaches, but his agenda vs religion really takes a lot away from what he talks about. If he was truly brilliant he would have understood why religion is here and not make it such an issue during his talks.
Goes to show that people are still stupid no matter how smart they are in one way or another.

Staying in the topic, to answer it no because I haven't seen one. Not real.

Some can be explained through Black projects like the TR3B triangular shaped craft many have seen but never classified to the public. The thought of Aliens existing for thousands of years can change our thoughts on religion and so on.Perhaps the government thinks they have our best interest in mind by keeping this away from us.Perhaps they think we're not ready.Who knows.I love all the black projects and all but they were possibly conceived and inspired from other tech meaning alien.No one ever saw the Aurora plane.
