Vatican scientists co-host conference on alien life forms

Nearly 200 scientists are attending the conference, called The Search for Life Beyond the Solar System: Exoplanets, Biosignature & Instruments, which runs from March 16-21 in Tucson, Arizona. The Vatican Observatory is co-hosting the conference with the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory.

'Finding life beyond Earth is one of the great challenges of modern science and we are excited to have the world leaders in this field together in Tucson,' said event co-chair Daniel Apai, assistant professor of astronomy and planetary sciences at the UA Steward Observatory.

'But reaching such an ambitious goal takes planning and time. The goal of this meeting is to discuss how we can find life among the stars within the next two decades.'

The Rev Paul Gabor of the Vatican Observatory, the conference's other co-chair, added that scientists will give more than 160 research presentations during this week's conference.

According to the organisers, the conference will cover the technical challenges of finding and imaging exoplanets and identifying biosignatures in the atmospheres of far-flung worlds. Other presentations will discuss the study of life forms that live in extreme environments on Earth, which could be apt analogs for life on other planets.

[ All one has to do to know that aliens exixt is to walk around San Francisco for 15 mins ]

No those are earthlings... sadly

Aliens who want to visit earth don’t have to try very hard to blend in these days.... Probably why there are sio many UFO sightings...

Hey, if there is to be space colonisation it will be done for the same reasons that people fled england in the 1600’s.....

Maybe we should convince the Mormons to colonize Mars....

No, after the Dulce War, because the Reptilians lost the with Grays and humans (allied), they now lurk in small pockets of resistance using masking techniques to appear human. The Grays hover about and abduct, as per the negotiated treaty between Grays and humans.

Swear to gawd this was explained to me in all sincerity by a “true believer.”

[ The Grays hover about and abduct, as per the negotiated treaty between Grays and humans. ]

The idea that we coud have signed such a horrible treaty worries me, until I realise that we basically signed a treaty with the mass murderer Stalin to take out Hitler....

Then I realized that this pretty much makkes sense for the politicians to sign such a crappy treaty for the aliens to abduct whomever they please and how many they please in exchange for them basically feeding us table scraps of broken alien tosters and crappy items they imported from Alpha Centari (Space China).

Yeah, the politicans would sell us down the river for a perceived “advantage” for themselves, rather then signing a treaty with a species of alien that was hesitant to give us anything (which would probabaly be the Right choice), and even if we didn’t get one scrap of tech from the “hesitant aliens” we would probably have an “open human/alien student exchange program” and “full disclosure” with them by now.

Because politicans are so damned short signted they would probably sign such a crappy ass treaty wih the “greys”, just look at the current crop of morons out there in Washington.

I don’t personally think such a treaty thing happened or that aliens such as greys exist... yet.. unless I actually see one and poke it in the eye with a stick. But I hold the intelligence of elected officials as being lower than the probibility of said earlier event.

Which Reptillians? According to “UFO Lore” aren’t there several types? One is supposedly “Terestrial” and the rest are literally from “Out of this world” and some are allied/controlling the “greys”....

True. I'm always suspicious of folks whose hairline and eyebrows meet.
