little green space men? nope. but there are life forms that exist in other solar systems. mathematically, its nearly impossible that we are the only example of life in the universe, considering that our sun is one of ~300 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and our galaxy is one of nearly 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe (not to mention other possible universes). that means a potential of trillions of planets. to say that we are the only ones with any form of life on it is a bit crazy. especially since mars has potential to become our next planet that we colonize when the earth becomes overpopulated.
