On their own, no. They are typically not big enough to support an atmosphere, and they often too rocky to support any kind of life, even with an atmosphere. That doesn't mean that they couldn't be used for space mining or as part of a space station someday... they might provide nice raw material for construction bots to build something for us in space. But they aren't ready for people to move in without all of the needs of life being shipping in by us.

Are there alien germs and bacteria on meteors and asteroids?

Probably not. Earth is the only known object in the universe to support life. Asteroids do not have the right resources or conditions to support life and most have been floating in the vacuum of space of billions of years. So even if some alien microbial life had attached itself at some point, it would not be alive today.

Are aliens real on the Moon?

The moon has no atmosphere ( except maybe in a microscopic sense of attenuated water vapor in rocks, etc) Does not support life, and is a free-fire zone for all sorts of incoming meteors and space junk- any extra-lunar beings would have to bring their own life support, a task somewhat lightened by the l/6 of earth lunar gravity but you still have to lug the stuff around to the moon. lt is a most unlikely colonization base- it does not support life, have an atmosphere to keep out cosmic hazards, etc.
