Russian scientists expect humanity to encounter alien civilisations within the next two decades, a top Russian astronomer said on Monday.

“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,” said Andrei Finkelstein, director of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Applied Astronomy Institute, according to the Interfax news agency.

Speaking at an international forum dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life, Finkelstein said 10% 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.

“They may have different colour skin, but even we have that,” he said.

Finkelstein’s institute runs a programme launched in the 1960s at the height of the cold war space race to watch for and beam out radio signals to outer space.

“The whole time we have been searching for extraterrestrial civilisations, we have mainly been waiting for messages from space and not the other way,” he said.

In March a Nasa scientist caused controversy after claiming to have found tiny fossils of alien bugs inside meteorites that landed on Earth.

Richard Hoover, an astrobiologist at the US space agency’s Marshall space flight centre in Alabama, said filaments and other structures in rare meteorites appear to be microscopic fossils of extraterrestrial beings that resemble algae known as cyanobacteria.

Writing in the Journal of Cosmology, Hoover claimed that the lack of nitrogen in the samples, which is essential for life on Earth, indicated they are “the remains of extraterrestrial life forms that grew on the parent bodies of the meteorites when liquid water was present, long before the meteorites entered the Earth’s atmosphere.”

    Clearly that scientist did not get the memo that mentioned that most of the worlds governments were contacted by people from other planets in the 50′s and early 60′s.

    At best, this article is just speculation by an outsider with no real understanding of the subject or historical facts.

    At worst, it’s a psy-op to make you think we have not already had contact. I assure you, we have. Only the public was never really told.

  2. Kent Miller says:

    It’s more disinformation to make you think that world governments were not contacted by our Space Brothers in the 50′s. Or the author is simply misinformed to a great degree about historical events.

  3. KM says:

    I would say the article was written by somebody who is not aware that most world governments were contacted by Human Extraterrestrials during the 1950′s and the early 60′s.

    Clearly this is not common knowledge, but historically very important to understand when researching the topic of ET life visiting earth.

    It’s not a lack of information about the Et’s that a problem, it’s the overabundance of disinformation put out by the Elite..the most powerful and wealthy people on this planet..that is the problem. Combine that with simple misinformation and you have one very confused topic indeed, 60+ years on from the original events.

  4. Michael says:

    Or does he mean in 20 years they will finally acknowledge that something beyond us exists? If you say a big enough lie long enough eventually “everyone” will believe it. I’m just wondering how long they’ve been studying us?
