I've always believed in life out there, ever since I was a child. I was fascinated with space and other solar systems, I swear I must had read the childcraft book ' Earth & Space ' so many times when I was only 10! The bit it had about the Suns end scared me, though.
Anyways, yes, I do and I reckon I saw a UFO more than once myself, when I was about 11, me and another friend, saw a bright light flying across the sky, at a speed greater than a normal plane, etc.
Another incident occurred when I was 14, over 3 days, I saw a VERY bright light, still in the night sky, I knew it was a UFO because of its brightness ( way brighter than a star ) and the fact it stood still and motionless in the sky. The freaky thing about this occassion was that the morning after I saw it, a cosuin of mine died and 2 days later, when we driving to the removal, we saw the same thing I saw a few days earlier, only flying up away from where we were heading to, SCARY!
Heh, I can remember becoming a UFO fanatic at 11, drawing UFOs and such and doing my own drawing for a newspaper article that talked about one such sighting in school!
Anyways, even my old science teacher said that the odds of there being life out there is something like 99.99% , something I'd agree with.
Another interesting thing I heard before on the radio about one such person who claimed to be in contact with aliens is that she said that the aliens she was in contact with also have religion ut they believe that god is more of a universal conscience, not too far fetched a concept.
I'm in no rush to meet any little green men, though. I'm a little scremish!
