      That depends what you mean. If you mean ‘alien’ as in a life form from somewhere other than Earth then no, and no one else has yet either (no matter where they believe they might have been probed).

      But if you mean a bit more generally, I have seen pieces of Mars and the Moon in the flesh, that were brought to us via meteorites, or the Apollo astronauts.

      As Adam says, it all depends on what you mean by ‘alien’. As far as we know, no ‘aliens’ (as in extraterrestrial life forms) have been seen by us on earth, in the solar system, or anywhere in space. I am working on ways we might be able to see things they left behind, but so far we haven’t found anything that convinces us.

      But alien can mean anything – it used to mean the same as ‘foreign’ today, so It could mean people from France, or America! In that case, yes, I’ve seen lots, and I even liked some of them!

      Like Adam I’ve seen bit of other planets in the form of meteorites, but I don’t believe anyone has seen an alien lifeform yet

      I was an “alien” in the USA for 8 years (it the term their border control people use for non-Americans living there).

      I have touched bits of meteorite (both from asteroids and from Mars).

      I have never seen any proof of any extraterrestrial life though.
