An alien is usually associated with an image of an impossibly portentous and scaring creature. But if an alien is that ugly and horrible why do so many people wish to meet one (or even several) in real life? To check a character, to experience shaping, to increase the power of will or to get ready for the worst? In my view, it is a reasonable, but doubtfully a probable supposition. I am deeply convinced that human would like to meet aliens because of mere curiosity.
By all means, communicating face to face with an intelligent being is sure to raise your excitement. Only hope it is safe enough!
At the same time, a very skeptical half of population doesn’t believe that aliens actually exist. They pretend not to pay the slightest attention to the fact that millions and millions of people are sure of the contrary. Those 'non-believers' are almost sure that all (just imagine, ALL!) other planets are uninhabited. Isn't it too self-reliant for a mere frail human being? I personally think it is stupid. Can one calculate the size of the Universe? No way! So how can we say for sure what exists in space and what does not? The modern science has not yet realized the depth of unknown and the eternal abyss of Universe.
So, as i come to think of it, i realize how absurd it is to think that in the whole Universe there is no intelligent life except on Earth. This might be a completely different kind of life and we may even never meet or understand each other. Apart from that, i am a hundred per cent sure they exist. They do!
Do you agree that considering the Universe an uninhabited abyss of atoms and eternal freeze is sensible?
