      It’s still not 100% confirmed if there are aliens, but with so many planets and the sheer size of the universe I think there has to be!

      Now as to where are they is tricky, they could be on one of the many millions of other planets in the universe some of which are millions of light years away! The problem is that if they were to look at our planet somehow through a powerful telescope the light they would see would be from millions of years ago! This means they wouldn’t see humans and our developed civilization but they might see dinosaurs, big terrifying lizards! So I think if that’s what I saw on a planet I definitely wouldn’t be heading there soon! So maybe that’s why we haven’t seen any yet…
