Scientist: Alien Life Could Be on Earth Now
By not in system - AOL NewsLONDON (Jan. 26) – For the past 50 years, scientists have scoured the skies for radio signals from beyond our planet, hoping for some sign of extraterrestrial life.

Depending on your perspective, that statement might mean, he's too inexperienced, or his best days lie ahead.
