Extraterrestrial

A top Russian astronomer has predicted that we will contact alien life within the next two decades.
Andrei Finkelstein is director of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Applied Astronomy Institute which has been attempting to contact alien life since the 1960s. "The genesis of life is as inevitable as the formation of atoms... Life exists on other planets and we will find it within 20 years," he says.
Speaking at an international forum dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life, Finkelstein said 10 percent of the known planets circling suns in the galaxy resemble Earth. If water can be found there, then so can life, he said, adding that aliens would most likely resemble humans with two arms, two legs and a head.

What if they have been here for a long time and have paid off or extroted humans to clean up any of their messes. Since our so called leaders run around with a bag over head or in their pay already the aliens have had the run of the planet for quite a long time to do what ever they want with no interferance.

Might as well say tomorrow. Considering how long it takes to travel through space, twenty years is NOTHING. But who am I to question the Russians. They are so good with long term predictions, just look at their awesome economy. Heh, not like ours is much better.

Go to any exorcism and meet at least one, perhaps several, up close and personal. Aliens are demons...

I think our government leaders have already made contact with them.

This would be a perfect opportunity for Russia to show that it can still be considered a superpower. Was Russia ever a superpower? I thought it was the USSR that was a superpower.

I wonder where he has been when we've been contacting E.T for over the years. . .lolz
