We all wondered at least once: "are we alone in the universe?" But this question has been left unanswered, as it is very difficult to prove that extraterrestrial life really exists. Finding evidence of life beyond Earth has been both a great challenge and an ambitious goal for many scientists.

Some argue that alien life definitely exists, while others are more skeptical when it comes to this issue.

Gizmopod has put together a compilation of signs that could prove that aliens do exist, trying to convince us that somewhere in the universe there are other forms of life unknown to us yet. Maybe it won't manage to persuade you that there is alien life, but it will definitely arouse your interest in this subject matter.

First of all, the strange flying object that was spotted by Apollo 11's crew not far from their location brought into question the existence of extraterrestrial life. Scientists didn't find a plausible explanation for the sighting, and the object remains a mystery to this day.

Secondly, some Egyptian Hieroglyphics that appear to show images of a helicopter, jet airplane, and submarine made many people believe that the ancient Egyptians were actually visited by aliens, as this type of technology didn't exist back then.

An even stranger event happened on February 24, 1942, when a Los Angeles air base discovered a strange aircraft after receiving several reports of a UFO sighting. Although it had been heavily hit by anti-aircraft fire, the unidentified object appeared intact and quickly disappeared, never to be seen again.

Moreover, it is thought that the famous French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte was indeed abducted by aliens in July 1794, as a small foreign object was found by experts encrusted within his skeletal remains. Pretty creepy if you ask me.

And if you think that Ohio State University researches managed to pick up a signal coming from nearly 220 million light-years away and that there are countless stories about near-collisions between UFOs and commercial airlines, the issue becomes even more intriguing.
