I believe that's entirely possible. Even within our own solar system, on Europa in particular, the pink areas around where the ice breaks and water flushes the area, they think it may be algae or mold.
Just here on Earth, extremophiles have proven there to me life, even at a microbial level, in the most extreme of conditions, so why not elsewhere? If we can find it within our own solar system, I would think that life would be widespread throughout the cosmos.
Intelligent life, I would love for them to announce, sometimes it doesn't seem like we have any here.
I agree completely. And NASA in a joint mission with the ESA plans to put a lander on Europa which hopefully will provide the answer to whether it supports microbial life. The launch would be in the mid 2020's and take about five years to reach Europa. Details are given in the article below. That's assuming of course that the planned mission proceeds, which I hope it does.
Sites like Black Vault post all this stuff, Ive even looked it up on FOIA websites, you can search by keyword, but it can be confusing when it comes to this topic, they do not refer to them as 'aliens' or 'ufos', they use different names, sometimes anagrams, EBE is one, Archon is another. Norad refers to them as 'fastwalkers', NASA calls them 'santa claus'.

Many planets being discovered on a regular basis now. Not too surprising with this one.
No, you're talking about Kepler finding planets on other star systems. Planet X in our solar system is different.
Because the math and observations of other asteroid bodies in the outlier parts of our solar system indicates there is a large body of mass moving through and causing them to behave like so.
The current projections show that this planet is as big as Neptune and it is so far away because of it's distance to the sun, it may take 10k-30k years just to orbit the sun.
Most astronomers believe it will be discovered within 10 years time now that better technology are available to detect objects that far away and make simulations where to look.
The researchers, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, discovered the planet's existence through mathematical modeling and computer simulations but have not yet observed the object directly.
"This would be a real ninth planet," says Brown, the Richard and Barbara Rosenberg Professor of Planetary Astronomy. "There have only been two true planets discovered since ancient times, and this would be a third. It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting."
Brown notes that the putative ninth planet—at 5,000 times the mass of Pluto—is sufficiently large that there should be no debate about whether it is a true planet. Unlike the class of smaller objects now known as dwarf planets, Planet Nine gravitationally dominates its neighborhood of the solar system. In fact, it dominates a region larger than any of the other known planets—a fact that Brown says makes it "the most planet-y of the planets in the whole solar system."
