Love it Wood. It would not surprise me if the left wing loons let them speak to Congress.

BUt...what if all the alien people are right, and they HAVE been here for a while..behind the scenes, what better way to prep people than to start saying "oh yea, they are real will find them soon.."

2026 will mark the year when they will occupy wall street. -- j

No, I've contended in posts elsewhere (maybe also here--can't remember) that Dingy Harry is an old woman with a short haircut who wears men's business suits. It's all about his voice.
I think Obama is a space alien. Ever study his head?
Maybe that mole is an alien intelligent parasite.or his "helper." Sort of like a familiar is to a witch.
And those ears? Maybe he can flap them. In case of an emergency such as an uprising, Obama can detach his head and fly back to the mothership.
Only to return with an army of narcissus armed with blasters.

I still contend that Harry Reid is really an Alien.

I'm not looking for any extraterrestrial civilization. I would imagine we will find bacteria, fungi, and plankton--both phytoplankton and "animal" plankton, in enough balance to produce an elemental ecology.

The communist state of Illinois let leave no stone unturned until we find them all

You forgot New York.

The article is pretty thin on the facts as to why they think this. And the chief scientist didn't say 2025, she said "strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we're going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years" so the title is pretty misleading!

I think that ten years is a bit optimistic, but I certainly wouldn't mind for it to happen. Something I have been pondering: If so-called alien life is carbon based like us, is it truly "alien?" Inasmuch as the life-form would likely have evolved similarly to us, wouldn't it in that sense not be alien? If life evolved based on some other element, like say, silicon -- now THAT would really be alien.

I'm really surprised NASA is still looking into anything other than Muslim outreach. Obama tasked them with it several years ago as their top priority.

Realistically speaking, it isn't going to be governmentally-led initiatives that get us into space. They're far too worried about power and control over this planet to worry about another.

As Arthur C. Clarke postulated in "2001, A Space Odyssey", Europa is incubating life, and that's why humanity must not go there. At any rate, since we have not been contacted by life forms equal to us or more developed, most life forms out there are probably still at the micro-organism or bacterial level. It will take a while before they have language and can communicate with us with Star Trek's universal translator. Bear in mind also that the Earth's most populous life forms are bacteria. We are virtually powerless against them except for those who live in symbiosis with us, and without those we could not exist.

That will put a new spin on the "Illegal-Alien"

I can see that now. So Iggtjeek#$%@dse What planet are you from? Answer "Ack.Ack.,.,Accck.aAckk. Ack.Ackack.." Followed by being vaporized.

aside from being in wa. they also populate nasa.

while i do not believe we are the only planet with life i do think there will not be any communication with what ever is out there for a very very very long time. the reason is because we are eons away from actual space travel. if aliens were here in the past i find it interesting that they have stayed away since biblical times as is postulated on the alien history channel.

All right, her is my prediction--as bold as any of the Triumvirs of Atlantis could have made it.

They'll find life, all right. The best candidates: Enceladus, Ganymede, and Europa. But especially Europa, with its subglacial ocean beneath thin ice, and being close enough to Jupiter for some tidal pumping.

But that life isn't going to be any different from what we find on earth.

Because 5300 years ago (give or take a hundred years), this earth had a subcrustal ocean. It broke containment in the most violent event you can imagine--an event so violent you're afraid to imagine it. A hypersonic jet shot straight up into the air and through the air--fast enough to blow a hole in it! Four percent of the earth's mass escaped into space on that terrible day, and in the days that followed. The escaping mass included mostly water, with plenty of rock and mud. All of which would have some of the seeds of life--mostly microbial.

It would take an extremophile to survive the passage, but extremophiles are known on earth. The jet might even have carried some seeds.

The launch controllers of the Galileo mission were smart: they crashed Galileo on Jupiter so it wouldn't risk crashing on Europa, breaking the ice, and contaminating its ocean. Who knows what we might find there, on a mission to break through the surface with a missile deploying a robotic submarine?

Speaking of MIB, why didn't the Justice Department sue the studio for racism? It's all over the movie title, inside it, they treat aliens bad, give worms guns...

John Ringo wrote a 3 book series about something like that called Troy Rising. Smart entrepreneur sells the first aliens maple syrup (which they get drunk on), and bad aliens hold earth hostage. He creates sun powered focused beams to bash bad aliens with and goes on to do all kinds of inventive things. Kind of a Gault in Space...

The alien question is the real funny thing, Men IN Black sort of dabbed at it, but District 9 really addressed the idea. Then we will have to distinguish between real aliens, sort of aliens and legal aliens....too many aliens...give them all drivers licenses and register them to vote...Democrap of course...

Nice...and true too...

Maybe terrycan was right. They are trying to conquer us.

And quite possibly advanced enough to be Objectivists...conquer away...

Is 2025 when they become eligible for Obamacare?

Not if they're intelligent aliens...

I read the headline last night and just laughed. This is science? Why not 2020 or 2030? What evidence?

Will we find them in time to save us from Global Warming? Will it coincide with the Second Coming, so they can be saved to?

Most importantly: will they be legal or illegal aliens? I believe that will be a function of the party in power, or who they'd vote for. And if our rocket ships will be advanced enough to get them to the polls...oh, wait...interstellar voting will take care of that...

Be careful what you wish for. Any culture that can harness enough energy to travel from star to star would very likely be able to conquer us.
