Do you think aliens exist? Why?

I think aliens exist. It\\\'s because the universe is amazingly wide, and like people, something or someone probably exist in other planet. I have some story about aliens !! My dad also believes the existence of aliens, and one day I asked him that do you know the meteorite avoided the orbit around the earth? the reason why I asked this was that if the meteorite had entered the orbit around the earth, there would have been a great disaster. Then my dad\\\'s answer was that the reason meteorite avoided the orbit was aliens had shot something and made the meteorite avoid away not to enter the orbit around the earth. Though I believe the existence of aliens, I laughed loudly when I heard the answer of him.
