      No. Space is too big for any aliens which might be out there to have visited Earth.

      When I was at school there was a TV program called The Demon Headmaster. He could hypnotise you with his eyes and make you do whatever he wanted. he used his powers to become prime minister. He didn’t look much like David Cameron though.

      David Cameron does look a bit odd, but no, he’s probably not an alien.

      Any aliens that are advanced are likely to be *more* advanced than us, because our solar system is young compared with the universe, and some alien species might have been developing for billions, rather than millions of years. In that case, I’m sure an alien prime minister would do a much better job of running the country!

      In fact, most aliens that we are likely to come across – the ones that could exist on planets that we can reach with our spaceships or measurements – are most likely to be just bacteria, rather than advanced little green men.
