Do I believe in UFOs? I don't believe, I know there are UFOs. All UFO means is unidentified flying object. There are thousands of those in the sky each night! I've seen some pretty odd stuff either with my own eyes or with a telescope (like the time a meteor disintegrated right above the truck. I had no idea what that fireball was until a few weeks later!).
Now, do I believe in aliens? Yes. I think it's rather egotistical to think that Earth is the only planet that could possibly sustain life. Earth is one tiny planet in one solar system inside one galaxy. There are plenty of other stars in our galaxy that we now know have planets. Granted, none of those planets have been found to be suitable for life, but we are looking at a ridiculous small sample in the grand scheme of things.
The question to me hasn't ever been is there life on other planets; but is there intelligent life on other planets. To that, I give a maybe. I would be slightly surprised that we were the only intelligent lifeforms in the entire universe but only because the universe is a really big place. However the universe is relatively young in some aspects too. It took us a few billion years to arrive so it might take other planets a few billion more to play cath-up.
