A high-ranking NASA researcher says evidence that life exist on other planets is certain to be found, and it’ll happen relatively soon. NASA’s search for alien life has turned up a lot of potential hosts, but so far no definitive proof that thriving forms are out there has surfaced. <br /> <br />According to one space researcher, the elusive evidence that they exist is certain to be found, and it’ll happen relatively soon. <br /> <br />Ellen Stofan, a chief scientist for the agency, announced that she believes the discovery will occur in the coming decades. <br /> <br />Strong evidence will likely emerge in about 10 years and within 20 to 30, the findings will provide certainty. <br /> <br />What’s found won’t likely be of the highly functioning, UFO flying sort that can regale us with stories of what it’s like to live in a far-flung solar system, though. <br /> <br />It’ll probably be microbes that live on planets floating around in our own galaxy and possibly those that circle the same sun we do. <br /> <br />Stofan’s prediction, one that’s shared by a number of her colleagues, is based on recent information gathered concerning the existence of water on planets and moons nearby. <br /> <br />Advancements in the ability to perform the requisite research are also cited as being a significant source of optimism.
