Are we alone in the universe, or is there other life out there with us? I sat down with some passionate elementary school boys in order to get to the bottom of this mystery. Do aliens really exist? I referred to them for their opinions and expertise.

The majority of the group believed in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Marcos said, “There are so many Youtube videos out there that discuss strange occurrences that can only be explained by the presence of aliens!” Along with video evidence, Aaron added that “there are so many strange disappearances and reappearances where the people cannot remember what happened to them. Jorge eagerly included, “There are so many NASA Broadcasts of ships, like the Dark Knight where the full broadcasts are never shown for ‘technical difficulties.’ You never learn what actually happened.” Ryan built on this point by stating that, “there have been many reported incidents of weird voices that couldn’t be recognized.” Aliens must have erased their memory!” There’s also physical evidence of the aliens’ existence, “there’s strange debris from space, it’s so odd-looking that it must have come from their ship,” said Ryan. “Aliens have higher technologies so it could have come from that,” inserted John.

However, when asked about their personal experience with aliens, nobody could testify to personally witnessing these creatures. When asked why this is the case, they claimed that they “might be blending in with their planet’s terrain or could have adapted so they could survive in secret,” Aaron remarked. “The government is also keeping it a secret,” Aaron and Jorge claimed. Marcos brought to attention “Area 51” and how the area is classified and that we don’t get to see what’s inside. “It wouldn’t be kept such a protected secret if they weren’t hiding something they didn’t want us to know.”

On the other hand, a small minority within the group believed that aliens did not exist. “There’s no way they could have created UFOs with the limited materials in space,” Arthur argued, “they couldn’t have possibly created them with the limited technology.” Jorge also questioned the existence of UFOs as he said “there’s no evidence that the discovered space debris is from aliens and not just space itself.” “Wouldn’t the news have spread the fact that aliens existed already?,” Arthur wondered. But as stated before, maybe they’re just keeping it under wraps.

“How are we the only life out there in all of space,” Arthur asked. We may be the only life that exists in our known universe, or maybe we might not be.They might even be living amongst us now! Do you believe in the existence of other life forms? Let us know what you think!
