Will We Find Alien Life Within 20 Years? You Can Bet On It.
SETI’s Allen Telescope Array monitor the stars for signs of intelligent life (SETI.org)
During a hearing last week before the U.S. House Science and Technology Committee SETI scientists Seth Shostak and Dan Werthimer asserted that solid evidence for extraterrestrial life in our galaxy — or, at the very least, solid evidence for a definitive lack of it — will come within the next two decades. It’s a bold claim for scientists to make on public record, but one that Shostak has made many times before (and he’s not particularly off-schedule either.) And with SETI’s Allen Telescope Array (ATA) continually scanning the sky for any signals that appear intentional, exoplanets being discovered en masse, and new technology on deck that can further investigate a select few of their (hopefully) Earth-like atmospheres, the chances that alien life — if it’s out there — will be found are getting better and better each year.

No offense to the folks at SETI, but in my opinion they are trying as hard as they can to make sure they don’t run into an alien!
Why send radio signals halfway across the galaxy when their may be some aliens working under a government installation a hundred miles from them. Maybe they should aim their antenna there.
Or check with the NSA and see if they have recorded any conversations between extraterrestrials or just pick up the phone and call them, there must be some phones beneath Dulce Base!
