Is extraterrestrial life real? does the government hide it?

brb infiltrating area 51

@NASA RELEASE THE ALIENS

It's pretty likely - there are so many planets in the Universe, most of which we don't know anything about, that could potentially hold life. So, yeah, probably.
As for the government holding it, I mean, I don't believe it at all - people are convinced that the American government holds alien life in Area 51 - I reckon that's a load of bullcrap.

how could the government hide their own people? wake up, america.
