Argumentative Essay: Are Aliens Real?

Throughout history, many people have believed that aliens exist. Over the last 50 years there have been hundreds of UFO sightings and aliens abductions reports. For example, in 1947 a man named Kenneth Arnold was flying over the Cascade Mountains when he saw “nine objects, glowing bright blue-white, flying in a V formation” (history).

For example, “it’s highly improbable in the limitless vastness of the universe that we humans stand alone” (Gates). This quote means the universe is way too big for humans to be the only form of life in existence. But, even with the statistical evidence it’s all just statistics it does not give enough proof of aliens existence in the
