In reply to the discussion: CIA admits to being responsible for at least half of UFO sightings in the 50s and 60s [View all]Bjorn Against
(12,041 posts)There are a number of scientists who have spent their entire lives searching for proof of life on other planets. NASA has invested millions upon millions of dollars in the search for extraterrestrial life, they are not engaging in a cover up in fact there is nothing they would love more than to be able to hold a press conference to announce they have found proof of extraterrestrial life.
The problem is they have not yet found that proof, and until they do there is nothing to peer review. History Channel documentaries are not science, currently there is no science supporting extraterrestrial life beyond a few organic compounds that have been discovered on Mars. The lack of science does not mean extraterrestrial life does not exist of course, it just means that it is difficult to study planets that are located light years away from our own. I strongly believe that there is life on other planets, but the scientists are correct to hold off on announcing such a thing until they can gather actual data that can be peer reviewed.
