Some people also talk of the possibility of alien objects, UFOs etc. being Jinn or works of Jinn, directly or indirectly.  What would you say on that? 

We have malaaikah (angels), jinn, humans, animals, birds, fish etc.  I don't know of any information in the Quran that says about living beings outside planet earth.  Unless, jinn also inhabit certain parts of the universe outside earth .. which is possible but only Allah knows best.  However, I think, from the information of the Quran, we can't be certain whether or not aliens in remote corners of the universe exist.  Though some Muslims do believe in existence of "aliens" and they also don't reject the stories of binary codes sent by aliens.  But this is mostly the influence of what they read in journals etc. For this reason they try to connect jinn with aliens to make the existence of aliens more acceptable.  But at the end of the day we simply don't have sufficient evidence nor knowledge to make a link between jinn and aliens nor to believe in existence of aliens.  Only Allah would know best.


Picture below is of a UFO (supposedly) which I found on the web.  Again, only Allah knows whether or not this pic is authentic.   Even if it's authentic, there's no guarantee this is a UFO.  It could simply be a satellite.  Lots of satellites that look much the same are placed into the orbit around the earth by countries like USA, Russia, Canada and some West European countries that carry equipments to gather environmental/scientific data or for communications purposes.
