NEVER!
Now, let me qualify this with "to the knowledge of our periodic table and distance of space and planet size range" I wont say "never" in an absolute. but the current Area 51 crap is just that CRAP.
Does biological life exist elsewhere in the universe? I would be shocked if it did not. But distance and speed are a bitch considering the size of the universe. Knowing what we know now, while it is likely life exists elsewhere, it is likely it is stuck on an island and can only travel local, like us.
So when I say "never" I am not saying we wont find the materials we find here in carbon based life elsewhere. I am simply not going to let UFO cable crap or Star Trek be my guide.
I would actually love to be proven wrong, especially with believers. If we got visited, and those "visitors" had a different god, what would that do to our superstitions?
I think life in the universe is a ratio and a range and a percentage, all be it a minority. But at least in our location, we seem to be on an island. If it is tough for us just to get to Mars or, then something light years away even if advanced, still has the same problems of input and output and fuel to get here.
