The answers are;

Do you think that aliens exist? Whoever best describes it I will give brainiest
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

yes.

Explanation:

I believe that some form of life exists outside of our planet. the galaxy is gigantic and ever-expanding. there's a very low chance that with every planet out there, there's no other life form. Now, humans have depicted aliens in many ways. green with black eyes, brown like E.T.... some speak English and some speak a language we cannot understand. I'm not sure if the life forms that are out there would be as developed as we imagine, but anything is possible with an ever-expanding universe. I think the closest we'll ever get to finding an "alien" is a couple of cells that are "alive"
