Currently here has been no verified proof of extraterrestrial life in the universe. Despite extensive efforts and ongoing research in the fields of astronomy, astrobiology, and space exploration, we have not yet found conclusive evidence of life beyond Earth.
Scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system), some of which are located in the "habitable zone" of their parent stars, where conditions might support liquid water—ONE of the key ingredients for life as we know it. However no proof that life exists on those planets has been found as of yet.
While there have been intriguing discoveries, such as potential signs of microbial life on Mars (the Viking missions in the 1970s and more recent observations by the Curiosity rover) and the detection of organic molecules on Enceladus (a moon of Saturn) and Europa (a moon of Jupiter)—both of which have subsurface oceans. However, these findings are not considered definitive proof of life, as they could also have non-biological explanations. Again, no proof.
The search for extraterrestrial life continues to be an area of scientific exploration. As technology and our understanding of the cosmos advance, it's possible that we may eventually discover compelling evidence of life beyond Earth. Until then, the question remains open and an intriguing subject for researchers around the world.
I don't need to prove something DOESN'T exist that we have no evidence for after decades of scientists trying. YOU need to prove something DOES exist since YOU are making the claim it does.
it is observably teeming with life. why would earth be unique?
"observably" okay then..... Prove it.

that's a great summary on exoplanets. so what is your reasoning for suggesting that life cannot be present on any of them?

YOU hold the Burdon of proof.
