Jesus probably never said anything so happily succinct as "There are other worlds all around us." That was wishful thinking on my part.
What I do recall his saying (perhaps in a renegade gospel like Thomas) was something like: The Kingdom of Heaven is all around you, and you don't see it.
He also referred to other sheep, not of this fold, which I find a beautiful and intriguing statement that could mean anything--other continents? Other planets? Other dimensions?
Or it could be all wishful thinking on the part of a scribe in the year 400.
