NASA predicts finding evidence of ET within 20 years

[Dr Frook]

NASA scientists predict they are within 20 years of finding the evidence proving we are not alone in the universe.

Dr Sara Seager and Matt Mountain were two of the distinguished scientists, former astronauts and engineers brought together by NASA.

They say scientific advances in rocket technology and space telescopes will soon make it possible to scan the heavens for the tell-tale signs of life on a planet not unlike our own, their so-called Earth 2.0.



"We believe we're very, very close in terms of technology and science and actually finding the other Earth and our chance to find signs of life on another world," Dr Seager said.

Their message to the world: "Our understanding of the universe around us is on the verge of being dramatically changed forever."

Dr Mountain is from the Space Telescope Science Institute which is collaborating with NASA to launch the most powerful device yet to explore the universe - the James Webb Space Telescope, due to be launched in 2018.

But NASA believes that within the next two decades it will have the capability to peer into deep space for signatures of life.


time to run away and hide, methinks.

yay, i can just see them finding life and then bringing it to earth where it will start killing us off

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OcPqk-O-fD4 imagine this would be what aliens were saying about us, and was the reason they were avoiding us so much?

Right. If the aliens were more advanced then they would've found us first, considering we are 20 years away from finding them.
Still believe its about microorganisms and not actual ETs walking around.

they could be Xenomorphs ; shrug ; they are advanced, even if they cant travel through space on their own

[Father Anderson]

how can they have a eti for something nobody even knows if it's real or not?
I smell a conspiracy.
They probably have aliens captive, and will release them in 20 years.

We'll prove the existence of frooks to and bring them from frook land

agreed, if we are so close to spotting them, the ETs will have found us eons ago... not to mention they currently live amongst us. We're just too human to notice it.

All life has to start somewhere, right!? It could be that we are looking in the wrong place, it could be that we have missed something...
Honestly, I have no idea if there is other life out there, but, just thinking that there is a chance, a slight chance; is pretty darn cool if you ask me! I hope here is other life out there, I'd in some respects I hope it is more intelligent than ours...
If you think of it like this; we are trying to befriend alien species, yet, we can even be friends with our fellow Earthlings!? Some species we are, huh?
If we do find life, lets just hope they aren't as trigger happy and power mad as we are, or else we are in for a shock! lol
Long reply... haha lol.
