It's long been pondered by many that we're not alone in the universe. It’s an age-old question that continues to baffle scientists, philosophers and conspiracy theorists alike.
Tech figures like Elon Musk recently weighed in on the topic, saying that 'we need to assume that life and consciousness are extremely rare and it might only be us.'
Meanwhile, scientists recently revealed why they believe we haven't found alien life as of yet.
However, this hasn't stopped the flood of conspiracy theories suggesting aliens and UFOs are being hidden at the infamous Area 51 facility.

But according to recent claims, we might not have to wait much longer for answers as President Donald Trump is rumoured to be preparing a speech to address the controversial topic.
During an appearance on the New York Post's Pod Force One podcast, Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, revealed that Trump allegedly has a pre-written speech ready to discuss the potential discovery of extraterrestrial life.
The 43-year-old made the claim after being questioned about former President Barack Obama's acknowledgement that aliens might exist during an interview last weekend.
“I believe I’ve heard on your podcast that you’ve discussed with the president these UFOs. Do you think that he’s about to make an announcement about UFOs, because President Obama was just on a podcast talking about how he believes in UFOs and hinting that he saw something when he was president?” host Miranda Devine asked.
Lara replied that she and her husband, Eric Trump, 'kind of' asked her father-in-law about the topic to see what he knew. However, Trump reportedly 'played a little coy' when he was pressed about it.
“Eric and I were like, ‘Oh my gosh, he won’t even fully tell us, maybe there’s more to it,’” Lara said. “I have just heard kind of around that he’s actually said, my father-in-law has actually said it, that there is some speech that he has, that I guess at the right time.
"I don’t know what the right time is[...] that he is going to break out and talk about, and it has to do with maybe some sort of extraterrestrial life, so to speak."
She hinted that Trump has mentioned having a prepared address that he intends to deliver at the 'right time.'
The president's daughter-in-law also agreed with her claims on her own podcast (via the Daily Mail) when she was asked by fans: "What do you or the President know about UFOs? Can you share?"
Lara replied: "I hear that the President has something in the queue to share with us about all of this.
"He was a little hesitant to give us any real info, which makes me think like he's got a lot of info out there and is waiting for the right time to drop it."
