Yes. I think that with how vast the universe is it's most likely that there is other life existing somewhere.. Possibly even "life" that we wouldn't even recognize as life right away because of how different it is... Like, maybe it isn't carbon-based, doesn't have DNA, and functions completely differently than any life we know of on earth.
But do i believe in... uhh.. Area 51, government coverup conspiracies, blahblahblah....? NO.
There's possible arsenic life at Mono lake in California.
Also, although I am a skeptic, I am open to the possibility that aliens are already visiting us. It's not impossible, only improbable. However I think the conspiracy crap is BS. If aliens are indeed here, I think they are simply observing, and don't intend to interfere with our evolution whatsoever. The only reason why I think this is because I have seen on one occasion, something in the sky I could not explain. I have seen satellites in the night sky twice, meteors entering the atmosphere or bursting in the atmosphere many, many times, at least one comet, and aircraft pass over my house all the time, but this was different. I don't want to write the story down, as I have done so about twice on WP and I'm lazy. Additionally, about 10 to 20 percent of the UFO reports come from people who most likely did not make anything up.
I might go into astrobiology in college rather than marine biology, I'm still deciding. I've recently gotten into astronomy and cosmology quite obsessively, but I'm best at biology, so maybe I can try to become an astrobiologist.
