Not only does NASA's chief scientist believe alien life forms likely exist, but she said the space agency knows where to look and could discover signs of extraterrestrial life within the next decade.
Speaking on a panel discussion on Tuesday about water in the universe, NASA's chief scientist Ellen Stofan said she believes the first indications of alien life could come by 2025 -- with more concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life coming in 20 to 30 years.

Cue the aliens guy!
PROCON believes the sun is going to explode tomorrow at 12:00 PDT, prove me wrong.
NASA scientist also believe global warming is real.
Yes, obviously it’s important to find the aliens so that we can bring them here and give them welfare checks.
I just hope that they don’t decide that the existence of aliens is “settled science” and make us destroy our economy, and jail the alien deniers.
If the government were to say tomorrow that there are aliens among us, the probably response would be, "Yeah? No $h!t Sherlock."
Sounds like someone is gunning for a new tv show on History Channel.
I remember when NASA had real news to deliver, not some half-baked WAG that we will find alien life in the next 10 years.
Also, this pronouncement is akin to timetable for fusion power plants.
Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that they do ‘discover’ alien beings.
What then?
They may not be friendly.
They may be warlike conquerors, like the 16th century Spanish.
They may be kill all and take everything like the 7th century muslim hordes.
They may be so far advanced, and probably will be, from us that we look like insects to them..................
I guess the NASA outreach to muslims is paying off!
Clearly, she is in “the know”, and now it is just a formality. These aliens no doubt either worship Mo’, or are somehow tied to him.
It’s exploding right now.
It’s when it STOPS exploding is when you have a problem............
....and Muslims are our friends............
Faith-based science.
I thought that when Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, and Lucas’ “Star Wars” debuted in 1977................
Can’t help but think of the move “They Live”...
While that may be true, and is interesting, I’ve been reading that for 50+ years like the 50+ years of the “impending economic collapse”. Maybe the Martians will show up and crash the economy?
Kidding aside, interesting indeed.
Same with “zombies”. There are numerous real-world scenarios where they can become real.
And perhaps even vampires. Many powerful people throughout history have been known to drink the blood of virgins, etc. And there is medical evidence today that consuming compounds found in young blood will slow down aging. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the elites keep people in their basements to feed on...
Climate change is real and has been real for the past 4.5 billion years. Is some of it today man-made? I believe there's evidence for that.
My problem with "global warming" science is that we are demanded to believe not only that it is happening but a.) it will be catastrophic and b.) the only solution is a massive transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor ones.
This is where I raise my BS flag. One can accept man-made global warming without necessarily believing that we're all going to die unless we sell carbon credits to Africa.
I believe there is life out there. Believing its intelligent or that we’ll discover them at 2:00 PM is a stretch.
Remember, when they get here, there will eat the fat ones first.
