I've always wondered the same thing, the prospects of other life visiting us should be big news. If the mainstream media really took one of these stories and ran with it, it might get legs, but in the age of digital manipulation, I think everyone is gun shy to latch on to something like this. On a clear sky one night last summer, I saw a flash so bright in the sky it actually turned off the street light in front of my house. It was no shooting star, and there were no clouds for miles. The odds of another planet being able to support life are extremely high.
