Some, including physicist Mark Buchanan, hope we never find out. It’s not clear whether viruses here on Earth, for example, should be considered life forms. Chynthia Wijaya and Noor Gillani, “ Do aliens exist? Five experts give their opinions” at The Conversation (June 13, 2021) If we use purely empirical data and assume the question refers to any type of life outside of Earth that is not related to human activity, then the answer - as far as we know - must be no.īut, of course, our knowledge relating to this question is finite we have not investigated every corner of the universe for signs of life and we do not even know what may constitute life in another chemical system, as there is no agreed-on definition of carbon-based life even here on Earth. Meanwhile, the con, from astrobiologist Martin Van-Kranendonk: Then again, that’s viewing things with a very Earth-like lens, and of course alien life could be very different to our own. For instance, consider the under-ice oceans of Europa and Ganymede (two of Jupiter’s large moons): these are places where the temperature is just right, there is access to water and to minerals, too. This is because we’re increasingly finding various potential pockets in our solar system that may be hospitable to life as we know it. I’m of the opinion that it’s only a matter of time before we find something that resembles biology somewhere other than on Earth. Four out of five experts polled at The Conversation believe that they do: Here’s one pro from planetary scientist Helen Maynard Caseley: Recently, a number of experts offered opinions as to whether aliens exist. The Pentagon is always hiding something! What not necessarily true is that whatever the Pentagon is hiding has any intrinsic importance for the rest of humanity. ![]() That naturally creates the impression that “the Pentagon is hiding something.” The UFO rumor mill is powered, in part, as David notes, by the military habit of assuming that everything is classified unless otherwise noted. Leonard David, “ Experts Weigh In on Pentagon UFO Report” at Scientific American (June 8, 2021) itself as part of some supersecret domestic program meant to detect flaws in the nation’s defenses? The mind boggles. UAP are entirely homegrown products of revolutionary and clandestine technological advances, whether by other countries now challenging American airspace or by the U.S. advanced technology programs.” That might mean, for example, According to space industry reporter Leonard David, the justification is airspace safety and control, not an effort to support or refute claims about alien spacecraft: “The report’s firmest conclusion, it seems, is that the vast majority of UAP happenings and their surprising maneuvers are not caused by any U.S. A number of unusual sightings since 2017 prompted Congress to ask for a report. ![]()
