This is basically me just giving an answer to all of the "do aliens exist", personally I do believe that other life forms exist just because of the vastness of the Universe and how many planets there are, plus there is no reason as to why they can't live on moons and they may not just breath O2 as we know or live in the temps we do they could live in extreme hot or cold there are many thing that need to be taken into consideration.
First of all it is mathematically impossible for there not to be another life form in the known Universe and there is one equation that shows it, the drake equation.
The Drake equation:
Because no one know the exact amount of stars in space I will do of my own using just the milky way (These are in no way accurate just an example) but it shows how it can be used to calculate how many intelligent other life forms there could be.

The Drake equation:
where:
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible (i.e. which are on our current past light cone);
and
R* = the average rate of star formation in our galaxy
FP = the fraction of those stars that have planets
NE = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has
planets
FL = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually develop life at some point
FI = the fraction of planets with life that actually go on to develop intelligent life (civilizations)
FC = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space

N* - The number of stars in the Milky Way = 200Billion
FP - Fraction of stars with planets around them = 60%
NE - Number of planets per star ecologically able to sustain life = 1
FL - Fraction of those planets where life actually evolves = 60%
FI - The fraction of FL that evolves intelligent life = 30%
FC - The fraction of FI that communicates = 20%
FL - The fraction of the planet's life during which the communicating civilizations survuves = 1/1,000,000th (10,000 years)
NC - The possible number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy = 4320

To put it in layman's...the universe is just fucking huge. It's improbable to say that there isn't some kind of life out there.

I we can be made I dont see why other things can't be made. Aliens do exist in my opinion.

ahaha Yeah it is a little confusing to understand equations at first but once you get looking into them you'll understand it pretty easy I only understand it because I'mm doing A level physics

I only did maths as a GCSE and I've never bothered doing it since because its just a massive pain in the arse ahaha, the only maths I do is in physics and college are bas*ards about me not doing maths ahhaah
