Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the existence of extraterrestrial life and the potential involvement of governments in concealing or studying such entities.

Life probably exists somewhere else.

That doesn't mean they visit us in secret and there's a conspiracy to hide it.

It's two very different things

Doesn't mean they don't either. :)

I think it's likely they do. There has been so many sightings through the years and so many stories that I believe no smoke without fire, so to speak.

It's also what we would do. We (humans) would have similar strategy if we had similar technology to visit other planets.
