The eminent astronomer Carl Sagan has estimated that our Milky Way galaxy alone may contain some 250 billion stars. About a million of these, he believes, may have planets capable of supporting some form of civilization.
Our government denies the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, yet on Columbus Day, in 1992, in California and Puerto Rica, NASA will activate radio telescopes equipped with special receivers and computers capable of analysing tens of millions of radio channels at once, to search for signs of intelligent life in the universe.
NASA has nicknamed the mission “MOP” for Microwave Observing Project, but astronomers refer to it as “SETI”, for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
I have asked two former presidents of the United States whether they have any knowledge of UFOs or aliens, and their responses were negative. Would they have told me if they had had any information? Given the blanket of secrecy that seems to surround the subject, I think not.
Do flying saucers really exist? Are we being visited by aliens from another planet? With new technology probing deeper and deeper into the universe, looking for signs of intelligent life in space, perhaps we will have the answer much sooner than we expect.
There are many working in space exploration, astronomy and cosmology who, not content to wait for that answer, put themselves out on a limb and make a prediction of their own. Jill Tartar, an astrophysicist and SETI project scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Centre, in Ames, Iowa, is among them.
There are 400 billion stars in the galaxy. We’re made of Stardust, really common stuff. In a universe filled with star-dust, it’s hard to believe that we are the only creatures who could be.

Dear Ambassador Griffith:
I wanted to convey to you my views on our extraterrestrial visitors popularly referred to as “UFOs”, and suggest what might be done to properly deal with them.
I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on earth.
