As the "distribution lecturer" from the once cult film "Carnival Night" said: "Is there life on Mars, is there life on Mars - this is unknown to science." 66 years ago, when the Eldar Ryazanov took off his famous tape, any other answer would not give a synod academics. And what does today's science say, and not only about the Red Planet? If you ask the question a bit, are there other residences of life in the Universe?
So far we have no clear evidence. The probability of the development of life (particularly that intelligent) is probably rather low, but this "improbability" may be well compensated by unimaginable large number of planets, stars, galaxies in the universe... On other hand, the space-time separation at the "universe scale" is also unimaginable large. Fortunately...
Attaching a related article that might be of interest. I personally can't believe we're "it" concerning "advanced/intelligent" life forms throughout our unbelievably vast Cosmos (not to mention MultiVerse!), though ongoing machinations in global politics draws into question "intelligent" life on our home planet!
One thing am sure is that I am at live on earth !

If we were alone in the universe, it would be such a waste of material.
Dear colleagues,
the question is: “Are we alone in the universe?”
I am geologist and palaeontologist, and based on my knowledge of the Earth history I come to the conclusion, that in the whole universe probably are only very planets with intelligent life. It is even possible, that our planet Earth is the only planet with intelligent life in the whole universe.
My detailed reasoning is given in following paper:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339644061_Milliarden_Jahre_Evolution_-_Geschenk_und_Auftrag_Billions_of_years_of_evolution_-_gift_and_mission
My considerations can be summarized as follows: The life on our planet is the result of 3.9 billion years of evolution. From the first primitive cell has evolved the abundance of life on Earth - including us, the human beings. In order for this first primitive cell to develop into the fullness and beauty of life and human civilization that we can observe today, the following circumstances and events, which can only be described as extremely extraordinary, were necessary, among others, in the course of the Earth's history:
1. About 4.53 billion years ago, a planet with approximately the size of Mars collided with the Earth.
2. The beginning and the strength of the release of oxygen by water-splitting photosynthesis was such that the Earth always had a temperature that was conducive to life.
3. The impact of a huge meteorite 66 million years ago caused the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period.
4. Shortly after Homo sapiens had emigrated from Africa, was an interbreeding with Homo neanderthalensis.
Although there are an immense number of suns and planets in the universe, it is not likely that there are many planets with intelligent life. When we look at the series of events and circumstances that were necessary to bring forth what we now see on our blue planet, it is hard to imagine that many planets remain. The events are so extraordinary and the necessity that they had to happen at a certain time or at least in a certain period of time is so compelling that the probability of other intelligent life becomes very small. It is possible that planet Earth is the only planet in the whole universe that has produced intelligent life.

By the way, Sandberg et al. (2018) provide a condensed compilation of scientific data on the "Fermi Paradox". Although they take a different approach to their model calculations, they also conclude that there are probably no more civilizations of intelligent life in our galaxy, and possibly even in the entire observable universe.

Allah (God) is always with us. There is no need to worry about that you are alone.
“The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space.”

You are not alone in the universe when you get help from GOD mighty. It is a pure reality but the most peopledo not care abot it or they consider low value one, unfortunately.
According to the results of analyzes based on mathematical probabilistic models, it is almost certain that we are not the only intelligent beings in the universe.

Dear colleagues,
I think, we are not alone in the universe, there are many extra-terrestrial lives in Milky Way Galaxy and other billions of galaxies but if we accept the existence of extra-terrestrial life, they can have any forms, including single-celled organisms, Intelligent civilizations and even advanced alien civilizations beyond today's human civilization!
Best wishes,

We might be alone in this solar system, but there are millions of solar systems with millions of "living things".
The "lies" spread around after the Roswell crash remind me of the "lies" spread by Trump about the election. Both come from the same country.
The crash with living organisms from outside the Earth was real and covered up. There is one solid proof.
Hay que seguir investigando sin embargo ya se han encontrado evidencias de que la vida es posible en otros planetas

No we are not alone, there must be life elsewhere. The way we used to view life in 1100 AD. The technology to see other planets is no advanced to detect life yet.

From the analysis of the knowledge data from space exploration, it is very unlikely that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. Even more, many times more, it is unlikely that certain life forms will exist only on planet Earth. It is estimated that in our Andromeda Galaxy alone, there are millions of Earth-like other exoplanets that exist in other planetary systems, other constellations, other star systems, etc., under which conditions exist for the emergence and existence of life.

Hi all,
Attached pictures from, archaeological sites, are undeniable proofs of extraterrestrial life, from different parts of the world:
Measured edge to edge, the universe as we know it stretches some 93 billion light-years across. That unfathomable expanse contains 2 trillion galaxies, each shining with millions of stars and dotted with more planets than you can imagine. Given all that real estate, it seems unlikely we’re alone.
In my opinion, it is very unlikely that we will be alone in the universe. The universe is so huge and contains so many billions like our planet Earth exoplanets, planetary systems, suns and planets, constellations and galaxies that the possibility of the existence of highly developed life forms, including intelligent life forms only on our planet Earth is from the point of view of probability calculus practically impossible. The Hubble telescope has photographed the farthest visible galaxy farthest from Earth, visible through a telescope and not visible to the naked eye. This galaxy is located as much as 13 billion light years from our planet Earth. Perhaps the universe is even bigger. To answer this question, you need to build even bigger and more perfect telescopes. The universe is so huge and contains so many other planet Earth-like exoplanets that it would be a very strange and unique coincidence if it were to turn out that we were alone in the universe. On other exoplanets found in other planetary systems, in other constellations, in other galaxies, the chemical composition of geological material, atmosphere, water, etc. may be different. Therefore, life forms may have a different composition of key and other elements from which organic compounds are made and certain other life forms.
Best wishes,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
The newly discovered planet, named Proxima d, orbits Proxima Centauri at a distance of about four million kilometers, less than a tenth of Mercury’s distance from the Sun. It orbits between the star and the habitable zone — the area around a star where liquid water can exist at the surface of a planet — and takes just five days to complete one orbit around Proxima Centauri.

Nice video regarding a discovery of a third and somewhat unusual planet around the nearest star to us, Proxima Centauri:
