Existing of Life in other Planets
Conspiracy theories about the existence of aliens or life in other planets have been brought up in an alarming rate in the recent past. The theories argue that politicians and governments around the world, and more significantly in the United States, have continued to suppress the evidence of extraterrestrial visits to the world. The conspiracy theories have continued to argue that governments have continued to communicate with the aliens and even established cooperation despite the public claim of the contrary. Some theories have also continued to argue that the governments have allowed alien abduction. Many of these theories have flourished in the internet, with some gaining a significant figure of people who have believed in the same. The theories have been in circulation for a very long time. Because of the continued belief and claims of the existence of alien lives, it is important to come up with an explanation that purports the claims in an in-depth manner.
There have been many occurrences in the world that have given enough evidence about the existence of life in other planets, and also the visit of aliens from other planets into our world. Over recent years, international space agencies like NASA have come up with enough evidence of numerous planets that have the same or almost the same atmospheric and terrestrial composition as earth. For example, in 2016, researchers concluded that Proxima b, a planet in the habitable zone of the Proxima Centauri, is one of the planets with many similarities with the earth. This is one of the many exoplanets in the discovered space that are strong candidates of the existence of life in the outside space. These planets are positioned in what is known as the habitable zone- a zone in the system that is not too hot or too cold and, as such, provides the optimal conditions for the existence of life. Conspiracy theorists have continued to argue that humans, a very sophisticated form of living things, are not the only fortunate beings ever to live.
Around a few decades ago, scientists had not discovered any planet outside our solar system. Right now, there are more than 3,000 planets and exoplanets with many known stars at least having a planet orbiting around it. Some of these planets have similar or almost-similar components as our earth (Wallace-Wells and Walsh). With the understanding that even earth provides a harsh environment for existent of life, it is much likely that there is another form of experiences out there, and it is a matter of time before the two or more civilizations are able to establish cooperation or battle for space dominance with advanced technology and intelligence. Most of these planets exist in the habitable zone or the Goldilocks zone, where water is able to remain liquid and also form on the terrestrial part of the planet.
Another argument is the spotting of Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs. These objects are believed to be shipping aliens in and out of the earth (Wallace-Wells and Walsh). Most people and conspiracy theorists believe that the USA government, through Area 51, is responsible for much and continued spotting of these ships. There have been numerous claims of people spotting UFOs in different parts of the world, with most of them happening in the United States. These claims date back to around 2nd millennium BC in ancient Egypt with paintings showing fiery disks in the sky. This would not be a coincidence with such primitive measures and technology in the past (Linde). There must be more reliable and more intelligent beings that had evolved from the past and had control and still establish the authority in world governments.
In my argument, I believe there exist alien lives out of our solar system, and these beings are always in constant communication with our planet. Another reason to think this is because there has been a citation of different claims and quotes of crop circles (Griffin). There have been numerous and opposing explanations about these phenomena. These circles appear sudden and mostly at night. They portray more complex, geometrical forms that depict very profound mathematical theorems. There has never been a concrete explanation as to what could be causing the pattern. With a lack of robust explanation on the issue, it is evident that there is the existence of strong and more intelligent civilization in outer space.

Still, one obvious thing is that the concept and composition of the circles is beyond a simple weather effect or human understanding. Many conspiracy theorists believe that aliens in distant planets travel such considerable cosmic distance to provide intelligence or establish communication with earthlings. With much of these citations, and even appearance of unexplainable lines in the deserts of Peru, or the Nazca line, it is evident that there is an existence of an elaborate and more intelligent alien form that has continuously tried to establish communication with the world and continues to bring about communication with us effectively (Smith). Some people even believe that complex ancient structures like the Egyptian pyramids, the Inca civilization ruins, the heads in the Eastern Islands, and other phenomena were all built by a life form that found its way out of the world through very complex and sophisticated technology.
Many conspiracy theorists around the world believe that the Project Blue Book by the American Government was meant to hide aliens in Area 51 and Roswell (Blumenthal and Kean). These are some of the most legendary areas for alien seekers. In 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico, there were supposed sightings of a flying saucer. Due to the long and consistent maintenance of the secrets of government operations in area 51 has made most people believe of alien contact.
These two areas were both in front of the Project Blue Book. With so many uncertainties about the project and also the mysterious occurrences before the launch of the project, many people have continued to believe that there were the sighting of aliens and also UFOs, with the government continuing to hide the secret of the possible coming into contact with aliens. The USA -the government has continued to fund many projects that are aimed at finding alien-search, making many people believe that, if the government is interested in finding aliens, then there must be contact with extraterrestrial life but decides to hide and tell about the same.
One of the questions that would mostly arise when one is discussing the possible existence of aliens and alien civilizations is why have they not already established a connection with us. The topic makes it seem the lack of possibility of the existence of aliens because if they existed, they would have visited the earth, bearing in mind that it is believed the aliens have a powerful and evolved technology compared to our primitive one. It would be imperative to understand that aliens would supposedly be advanced in terms of intelligence and technology, and visiting our solar system or earth would not be hard for such a civilization. These bring to a claim that there might be no aliens at all, and humans and life on earth is the only real life in the entire known space. It would also be imperative to question the sanity of the world governments and particularly the American government, that has long been criticized for having contact with aliens.
The big question is the reason why the leaders would lie about aliens. Many people would argue that we are creators of our reality. Many people believe that the reason as to why we have not come into contact with aliens is because they do not exist. As such, it would be hard to come into contact with something or someone who does not live. It is basic that aliens do not exist, and as such, it would be hard or even impossible for leaders to come up with a conclusion that aliens do exist. With the continued research and funding from the government on projects in NASA on the verge to find new and earthlike planets, it is most likely that there are no aliens that have ever visited the earth. It would not add up the government to continue funding for what they have already established, that is, searching for already existing aliens. A such, it is evident that there are no aliens, and the whole concept has been revolved and distributed by conspiracy theorists.
In conclusion, the belief of the existence of aliens has long been a subject of discussion and argument with some believing that they exist and many believing they are just theories. However, there are many occurrences and sightings in the world that would deny the claims of the later. With many people around the internet claiming the existence of aliens and UFOs, it is just a matter of time before the real understanding surrounding the topic is brought into the limelight. With so many uncertainties happening and the fact the operations in Area 51 in Nevada is unknown and continues to be associated with aliens, conspiracy theorists might be right about the government and aliens.
