Lights in the Sky & Little Green Men: A Rational Christian Look at UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Hugh Ross, Kenneth R. Samples, Mark Clark: 9781576832080: Amazon.com: Books
Astronomer and clergyman Ross wrote nine chapters of this philosophical, Christian approach to the study of UFOs. Convinced that a small percentage of reports cannot be explained in conventional terms, he rejects the condescending skepticism of mainstream science as well as the "dangerous credulity" of some UFO proponents.
Because the extraterrestrial-origins hypothesis has some flaws, he thinks UFOs are likelier to be demonic manifestations originating in some spiritual dimension. Philosopher-theologian Kenneth Samples' chapters consider various types of UFO experiences, including abductions, ongoing contact with aliens, and UFO cult organizations; and political scientist Mark Clark addresses government cover-ups of and conspiracies about UFOs.
Although the book constitutes one of the more rational attempts to correlate the scientific and the scriptural, secular humanists may fail to be convinced, especially since it asserts that many UFO witnesses have participated "knowingly or unknowingly, in occultism or occult-related activities." Three appendixes about the conditions essential to life on Earth imply that its development is so rare as to be unique.

Its not extra-terrestrial.There are extra-dimensional beings.We are confused about this because governments all over the world lie about their existence.And we are too afraid to go search for the real truth.Because those who went sincerely don't live for long.
Isn't that funny?We are so silly, running after pink-iridium butterflies when satan is so visible.

There are approximately 170 billion galaxies in the universe with each on average 100 billion stars. That's 170,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the universe. I would be deeply disappointed if it turns out that there is not even one place besides earth in the entire universe with even very simple life forms.
Edit:
Just to give you an idea of how big that is, just look at this image of the observable universe:

Ah referencing the famous Drake Equation perhaps?
There's an answer to that called the Fermi Paradox.
Fermi paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (good article for anyone who believes in aliens on other planets: Lol if there are so many of them... where are they?)
As for the multitude of galaxies, how do you know there's really all those galaxies or even a single other galaxy besides this one? Lol in fact how do you even know we live in a galaxy? All the pictures of our galaxy are simply artist drawings that they tell you are pictures (but how could they have a picture of our galaxy unless they were outside of our galaxy?) Almost all of NASA's pictures outside our solar system are curiously just artist drawings of what they think is out there lol.
As far as we know and can confirm, there is in fact no life on any planet (and perhaps no planets outside the solar system even.) However..... there is a lot of proof that would seem to suggest there is something living in the waters of space.

if we're referring to extraterrestial beings such as angels and demons, there is no debate. we know they exist.
if you're referring to aliens i dont believe in them. It is tempting to think about extra terrestrial beings in such a vast universe. But God created the earth first and then the heavens- the stars etc as a sign to us. He made the earth and then everything around it. His whole focus is on us....and that makes me so overwhelmed by His love. He is our friend and has revealed to us the beginning and the end and He has not mentioned fate of other 'beings' (not referring to angels etc) even once. He came to die for us- His whole focus is on us.

This is something I've thought about, too. But, even though they don't know exactly what our galaxy looks like, they believe it to be a spiral galaxy because they can see the arms (i.e. that thing we call the Milky Way). They do, however, know what other galaxies look like (or looked like, because many of them have doubtless changed, because the light that's reached our eyes from them has traveled many years since and all those events in space we see right now have actually happened ages ago). But it would be interesting to see exactly what our galaxy looks like. You always see it depicted a certain way in Sci-fi films. Might be mind-bending to see it a little different way.

we don't know much about anything going on out there because of our own laziness and given control to maniacs to rule nations and rule like the way they want.There are lots of lies about history,astronomy and scientific things floating around because of our own carelessness.
There could be a possibility of these extra terrestrials created by mankind itself with the illegal and abominable collaborations with fallen angels,which means there is 100% evidence that there exists extra dimensional beings...
So extra terrestrials might be there and must be there since the untold history(of egyptian civilization and germany's undisclosed habitation in moon or whichever planet,God knows or maybe what naza doesn't say or reveal,or any nation that existed in the past)we don't know have well connection with history..
Whatever the case,Jesus is coming back and many fools who rejected God and lived the way they like are going to see it as alien invasion.The world is getting ready to be deceived because satan has taken over the world.
Our only comparable and trustable source for anything in all times so can be only Holy Bible(KJV 1611-if english is the language one use),because people lie and bury a lot of history around them for selfishness and also because they don't care.we brought our own doom and Jesus is our only Hope..

I, personally, find it very unlikely. However it's not impossible. I would have to be omniscient to have such knowledge. I am not 
(obviously). =) By extraterrestrial, I assumed you mean non-earthly beings that are physical... Not spiritual or immaterial. If that's what you mean, then well, of course I believe angels and demons exist.

The Enemy sometimes deceive people in the guise of aliens, yes. Because that speaks to the spiritual emptiness in them and invites 'answers' to the mysteries of the universe and gives them 'purpose' and an 'identity'. Also, Jesus name, spoken by a believing Christian is the only thing that can stop them. I think that makes it pretty conclusive that aliens are bad news.
There's an excellent, if a little technical at times, book called Alien Intrusion: UFOS and the Evolution Connection by Gary Bates. It's incredibly well-researched, very enlightening and sometimes highly disturbing. This is no crack-pot conspiracy theory but truth based on the Bible and its warnings about false prophets and Satan appearing as an angel of light to deceive many. You only have to see the fruits of UFO encounters to see that aliens are bad news.

i liked your comment because cross breeding(as it is today) was conducted to create abominations in past.Space missions have took place in past.The modern technology is nothing but a better version of ancient technology digged out from earth and other planetary surfaces-the real history that was not told in public..That history is not taught in school.Seekers find Truth..
God didn't create them..
God Bless

From a biblical perspective, that is a weak argument. We're applying a human perspective on time and space, and assuming, if you think about it, God Himself has this same view of the vastness of His creation. But the size of the universe is nothing to God. So i can easily see humanity being the unique creation in the known sphere of existence of humanity. God granted us this universe as His gift to us, just because it's vast, doesn't mean it's populated. This may be unique for us and us alone, as an expression of Gods love and affection for us.
Now that's to say that i'm claiming that it's impossible. God is big enough that he may have 1000s of other living creations out there we don't know about. But to automatically assume the speck of our existence is anything to God that he would feel a need to fill it up with other species, that it 'must' be true is not logical. Only possible.
Personally, i'm more inclined to believe there would be other creations outside our realm of existence and awareness. God exists outside of us, our universe, maybe there is another universe, another existence, outside of us that He has created as well.
But even scientifically speaking, leaving God out, the pure chance of human existence is so unlikely it's nearly impossible. To assume a near possibility has occurred more than once, to that degree, as something that 'must' have happened, just doesn't jive.
