Well with the immensely large size of universe you really cannot deny the aliens and it is just a matter of time before we'll actually see them.Most of the U.F.O's are found in us because of the secret test flights of american jet fighters .if you know about area 51 then you must also know that it is situated in a desert and most of the U.F.O's are found in that desert area and none of the U.F.O is confirmed to be an alien space shuttle.
UFO's were actually quite prevalent in Britain and Russia too.
I remember seeing an entire special on History channel covering the UFOs spotted in Russia. Stalin was very interested in them and had a special council track the instances. He ordered them to stop when an adviser pointed out that the sightings eerily coincided with their secret missile tests.
I'm sure that life in some form exists outside this planet. The problem comes in overcoming the difficulties of the vast distance between the planets.
There is also a sad note that Carl Sagan pointed out. Since we haven't been contacted by an alien race, that only leaves a few options.
1. There just isn't any alien life out there.
2. There is alien life, but they never figured out faster-than-light travel.
3. There is alien life, but they killed themselves with warfare before they made the scientific advances necessary for faster-than-light travel.
Number 3 seems to be the most likely. We've seen that most technological advances come with equal gains in killing abilities.

Yes, I believe in aliens, however I don't believe in them as in the form of a little green creature with antenaes sticking out of their heads 
They may be just another life form living in another planet, I mean come on, we're only 1 planet out of like 1 billion planets in the whole universe.. we're so full of ourselves. (is believing in aliens against Christianity btw? I feel so restricted (a better word would be "trapped")

If there are aliens, I doubt they are what we perceive them to be. As for UFO spottings, I think all those stories are BS. I remember reading this one story about a guy claiming that one of the aliens that he saw claimed to be a prophet or something like that..However if I ever encounter a legitimate UFO then perhaps I'll change my mind but until that happens, I doubt I'll be wanting to explore that topic more for now.
That's the big problem with UFO sightings. They are all the basic stereotype depending on region. It was fascinating to read about a survey of all the reported citings.
The people in each culture reported beings that corresponded to an ideal form in their society.
I always preferred Lovecraft's approach to the topic. Anything that was alien would be almost completely unrecognizable. One of my favorite stories is actually "The Colour out of Space." After the whole story, you don't know anything about the alien. Hence the name. All we knew was that it was a strange color and seemed to suck the life out of those around it. The agenda, sentience, power, etc. are all left unknown. I always found that to be a better idea.

The Earth currently inhabits many aliens underground. Check out a few resources in google or download them as torrents:
UFO's: 50 Years of Denial
Phil Schneider: The Speech That Got Him Killed
Project Camelot Interviews - any of these are great but Dan Burisch talks about actual aliens and therefore deserves a special mention.
There are literally thousands of disinfo agents out there, though if you want to see real UFO's the above is a great place to start.

blah
Not sure I believe in the hollow earth theory if that's what you're referring to, but it's interesting.
I'm not sure if I believe that UFO's are aliens or not... I would not be surprised if there was life on other planets, but I'm not sure they're visiting us. It just seems extremely unlikely.

No I'm not mate, I'm referring to DUMB's - Deep Underground Military Bases. Just before I keep typing I'll let you know something about me, I have seen so much of this type of stuff becuase it really interests me and I look hard for it. Therefore what I say might not make any sense at the moment, though I'm sure if you had seen half of the stuff I'd seen you would see it all starting to fit together like a really big puzzle. Also everything I talk about or get involved in I look into and can usually back up what I'm saying with something else. You'll also see the deeper you get the same names will pop up more and more and something that had nothing to do with one person might fit perfectly with what htey're saying. For example
Alex Collier talks about DUMB's in a short video labelling where they are all over the world. Phil Schneider used to work on them. Area-51 is a DUMB, the real Area-51 is now in Australia at Pine Gap.
If you did a quick search on any of these things you'd see what I'm saying makes perfect sense. Best of luck....
UFO's are visible all over the world dude. You should check out how many mexico get, their government releases most of their footage and the sightings are simply undeniable, I mean you have like 200 in a frame on one particular day. The amount of evidence throughout the whole world though is phenomenal. Just look at all the sightings throughout Switzerland, Russia, China, Australia, Mexico, Canada, USA. It is really amazing how there are stil people who wouldn't even know what the term UFO meant!
I believe they is an existant of other life forms outside our planet, but I believe all these "sightings" were planned, or just wern't an alien, they could be, but I just don't believe we have found enough evidence yet to support that.
Unfortunately most alien sights really are boring things like lights in the sky or weather balloons. The light reflecting off of a weather balloon really does look weird.
If you want some hope for alien life, then there is the WOW signal. We listened to it in an Astronomy class. Radio telescopes have picked up seemingly random signals that just make a big "Wow" sound quickly. We assumed that it was interference or cosmic rays. Someone mapped them out and found that they all came from the same area though. It might just be a weird pulsar, but we can't rule out some type of signal.

Agreed, just because the average citizen can't identify it doesn't mean someone somewhere doesn't know what it is. Having said that, I do believe in extra-terrestrials. Given the size of the universe, there is bound to be life somewhere else.
Well, you're wrong. I live in latin america and you can see UFOs everywhere. I actually saw an alien ship at less than a yard away from my head. I know aliens exists, and i know they come to the earth. If you don't believe me, that's another story.
I agree to you. There are also UFO sightings here in the Philippines but most of them are known to be hot-air balloons and sometimes airplaines or jets. I remember reading that B-2 Bomber is often mistaken as a UFO because of its shape. I haven't seen one so I can't really tell how they looked like.
Well... Have you seen the Aliens? I mean the beings that came from their spaceship? Can you relate the story to us?
My belief on aliens is this,
I think they do exist, Earth is just one planet out of a billion billion. It is arrogant to believe we are the only ones.
As far as them visiting us, I don't know, but lets do some math,
Earth isn't very old compared to the universe, many planets are older, which could have spawned life millions of years before us.
Plus take into account the amount of time the dinos roamed the Earth, if they didn't die out, how advance do you think they would be by now, millions of years later, and given the amount of time from the first dino to now, what if an alien race had also started at the same time as the dinos but didn't die on their planet, that's millions of years of evolution and technology.
And if that's the case, why would they want to contact us, we have nothing to offer except a planet.

I would be very surprised to learn that Carl Sagan actually said something like that since it is not very bright.
Then again he was known to delve into areas which he had little or no expertise in such as nuclear war. It was really more of political agenda for him.
At any rate those three options certainly are possibilities but not the only ones nor even the most likely ones.
If intelligent life more advanced than ours exists ( and according to our understanding of the laws of probability it does in massive numbers) there are many other equally likely options for why we have never seen or heard from them.
For one thing why would we? Why do we assume that a highly advanced species with the ability to dodge the light speed problem would even WISH to contact us?
Another option which Stephen Hawkings recently weighed in on is that if we ever do hear fro them it may be our doom. He speculated that an extraterrestrial species may be combing other planets because their home world is drained and if we hear from them we are next to be conquered.
On the other hand if an intelligent species has no ability to dodge the light speed problem it is still rather silly to assume we have not heard from them because of the three reasons stated in your post.
After all they may not wish to contact others or perhaps they only choose to do so when they hear a signal from another world. Electronic signals of any real strength have only been leaving Earth for less than a century and that means they have only reached as far as about 90 or so light years. We are already familiar with the region of space about 90 to 100 light years near our sun and it does not seem likely that any life exists in that bubble.
It may be thousands of years or more before any signal from here reaches a planet where a species has the intelligence and curiosity to pick it up and respond. In which case of course another period of thousands of years would pass before we got their signal.
There are endless options for why we have not had contact with another species. Or what will happen when we do. Sagan himself explored these scenarios in his book contact. It seems strange to think that he was so doom and gloom oriented to think that only those three bleak options exist.
