I have heard a pretty convincing case that UFOs do exist, as demonic manifestations to keep mankind searching after the wrong things. Unless one rules out the possiblity of extra-dimensional (read demons/angels) beings in advance, the case is much stronger for that explanation than is the case that they are 'traditional' aliens.

As far as being lots of Earth's out there, I doubt it. It is literally a miracle that WE are even here. The more we learn about the earth the longer the list of things we realize had to be JUST RIGHT for this planet to support human life. Even if they discover 100 billion solar systems, that is not enough to make it likely that there is even one other Earth.

Demons certainly have the ability to manifest themselves as angels or aliens of light. To a dead world an alien would be an angel of light. It gives them more hope in their vain thoughts of reincarnation, extended life, and evolution. I have to wonder if they aren't working up some way to ping SETI or something like that to increase the hopes and waste in this effort.

Yes, I heard that the original list was some trivial 5 or 6 things needed for a good ole "class M" star trek, planet. Now they have something like 70 or 80 things needed for the earth to be as perfect and stable as it is. When you consider the fire of the sun and the cold of space and we sit here on this planet under a quilt of atmosphere that never varies but enough to give us some interesting weather. What an amazing creation.

I agree with this possibility but those are not aliens.

Modern Astronomy now disagrees with you and Commie Carl Sagan. Check into it.

You bet, as some could even be much larger and better than Earth, with near perfect climates, with almost endless resources. Some could be slightly cooler for those that prefer cool climates, and some warmer, for those that like hotter climates.

Many will resemble our earth's Death Valley with atmospheres of cyanide, and many will look like Antarctica, but you can bet, there will be some that are truly a paradise for humans.

Being hundreds of millions of light years away, no on earth has a clue what is there, and it's my opinion and belief, that there is not only life, by life beyond our wildest imaginations.

This is always a funny argument. It's a bit specious to assume that the earth is just right for humans rather than considering that maybe it's just that humans who are just right for earth...

Who's saying that they're only looking for human life?
