We often think of aliens as green men with big heads. But what if there is another planet in the universe with humans? (lemmy.ml)

I think a lot of people will be terrified when they find out another planet with humans.

Yes, it'd be scary to learn that they could be among us without us knowing. Scientifically speaking, this would be extremely unlikely (I'm assuming by being human you mean not only sharing with us appearance, but also genome and reproducible with us), so it would certainly raise big questions in the science community.

Funnily, this is how I usually imagine aliens, as portrayed in some sci-fi movies and comics.
