Last night I built a fire in my fire pit, turned on some tunes, and popped open a bottle of my aunt's homemade wine.  It was a cool night for Florida, like 50 so the fire felt so good.  It was one of those perfect evenings.  The sky was so clear and you could see tons of stars and other objects.

As I sat there I was thinking about how much I would love to explore space and other star systems and worlds.  I was thinking, are we alone?  Has the Earth been visited by other intelligent life forms?  If so where do they come from?  What do they think of us, the Human Race?  I think there must be other intelligent life in this great big universe of ours.  I would think there must be creatures out there that are old, wise, and advanced enough to master the travel of great distances.

What do you think?  Are we alone?  Have you ever had a close encounter of any type?
