NASA also made the recent bold claim that it will prove ET life exists within the next 20 years.
Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for NASA, giving his opinion, recently said at a public panel in Washington that he believes that within 20 years we will have definitive evidence of microbes on other planets. And that's entirely possible.
"I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years."
And according to an article on the Space.com website, Seth Shostak of the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, Calif. gave a personal opinion, and he states that it's just his opinion, that the first detection of intelligent extraterrestrial life will likely come within the next quarter-century.

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.

If you look thru numerous govt documents released thru FOIA though, its fairly obvious they have known about extraterrestrial life for decades, there is a good reason why they withhold this from the public however.
This "Planet X" is different from the one that conspiracy theorists claim and is far out in the Kuiper belt.
So far, we have 11 confirmed Dwarf planets in the solar system (10 of which are Kuiper belt objects, including Pluto). It is predicted there are as many as 200 dwarf planets in our solar system out there in the Kuiper belt.
Is "dwarf planet" acceptable or politically incorrect? In this day and age, perhaps we should have a socially more acceptable term like, "small and mighty rock"?
