The short answer is yes. I believe that, chances are there is life outside of our universe. What sort of life, who knows. The odds are very very good that there is some form of life ( single cell organisms ) somewhere else in the universe. The problem is that we will probably never know because everywhere else is just so far away.

My best friend has a bag packed next to his bed, just incase he is ever abducted by aliens. I respect him alot for that.

Of course the greatest movie of all time ( Star Wars ) was actually a documentary.

As is The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. All completly true.

Does he realise that he might not be abducted from his bedroom and he might not be able to go back for his toothbrush? I thought you had to be driving along a deserted country road at night time in Hicksville USA to be a target for alien abduction.

Well I guess believing in aliens is more plausible than believing in God

The "Dedication", if I recall correctly, was to Carl Sagan

Just another reason to lie awake at night and dream about Jodi Foster...
