      I think it’s possible yes

      Though they are probably not little grey men.

      The most versatile form of life on the earth are bacteria so I’m guessing if we find life elsewhere it’s likely to be bacterial rather than humanoid

      Hmm. like tiny bacteria probably. Not the green, one-eyed monsters from tv!

      Yes I think there are aliens. I imagine most of them look like bacteria or something else tiny and simple.

      I think any aliens we find in our Solar system will be microbes or bacteria, not the sort of things you see in movies! There are quite a few places where that sort of microbial life might be found, but just getting out there and searching is very difficult (and expensive…).

      Elsewhere in the galaxy – maybe theer is bigger life, like us, but it will probably be very very far away, so we’re unlikely ever to encounter it.
