Whether aliens are real or not has been a controversial topic for years. People have claimed to see them and supposed videos of UFOs and supernatural activity have been leaked onto the internet.

People have strong opinions on this topic and tend to believe it or not. The common alien we grew up seeing has green skin, big eyes, and a large head. If aliens are true, it’s not certain they would even look like this. This is only our interpretation of what an alien might look like.

“The universe is so big, there is definitely some sort of extraterrestrial life out there,” said junior Lola Case. 

Considering the large scale of our universe, and its constant expansion, it’s hard to imagine that the earth holds the only living organisms.

It’s also hard to explain the leaks of videos and images of supposed aliens. For years, every once in a while a new video or image circulates the internet of supernatural activity being caught on camera. In new times, it is hard to determine if this could be video editing or AI.

While I don’t believe an alien would be a green, big-headed creature, I do believe there is life beyond this planet that we are not aware of.

“I think that it is not possible for humans to be the only living species that have intelligence. The universe is too big for it to be just us,” said junior Keyoni Janovitch-Horton. It is truly hard to believe that amongst all galaxies and configurations, we are the only advanced life force.

Our Earth is not the center of the universe, and one human is a mere speck compared to the continuously growing universe. 

Are aliens real? No one can be too sure of the question. We have no solid proof of either side. If they are real, when will we discover them, or they discover us, and what will happen when they do?
