Several times down through the years prominent astronomers have spotted a planet in our solar system that orbits the sun opposite us. It is normally blocked from view by the sun, but is observable from time to time. They may have come from there. If you are waiting for the government to tell you, don't hold your breath

If the US Government, along with many other Governments stated, unequivocally, that yes, aliens do in fact exist, how would it change your life on a personal level.
First of all, just saying "aliens do in fact exist" is not enough.
Are they on a far away system? On the Solar System? On a nearby planet? On Earth?
Are they intelligent (as far as we can define intelligence)? Are they advanced? Are they friendly or aggressive?
My reaction would depend on knowing the answers to those particular details, but, in general, it wouldn't make a difference to me. Religion? I am an atheist. Outlook on life on this planet? Why would it change?

We should also not hold our breath waiting for any evidence for this claim from you.

After the most superficial acquaintance with this scientific work, you will notice that an enormous part of Valery Uvarov's book "The Wands of Horus" was copied from the writings of Shmelev.

Plot twist: humans were created to fight wars for our makers across the universe. We are flexible, creative and ruthless in achieving our goals. We self-replicate, raise and train new warriors on every world we conquer for our masters.
Our "warrior" DNA is indeed worthy. Our pacifist DNA is a mutation the aliens struggle to contain to this world but independent operators have moved in over the last hundred years or so to smuggle some of the "good ones" off-world. Their long-term goal? To seed every human war-world with pacifist human DNA in order to eventually neutralize us.
Just a brief round of creative jujitsu to illustrate the concept that self-evident truths are often blind-sided.

I feel certain this topic has been covered before but I have not seen it and have been on here a while so here it is:
If the US Government, along with many other Governments stated, unequivocally, that yes, aliens do in fact exist, how would it change your life on a personal level.
Would you still follow religion. Would it change your outlook on life on this planet. Maybe it has no impact and you say...meh so what, my fantasy football team is in the playoffs and I will read about it later. Big deal.
I honestly don't know myself. It would change my outlook on life but to what level no idea. I think overall though I would feel uncommonly insignificant. Still engaged in life but also powerless, helpless without knowing their intentions. Basically many restless night wondering what do they think of us. What do they want from us. How would religions deal with it. Would they make up new inventive tales to stay relevant. No idea really.
