CNN is reporting that our galaxy many be "full of Earths" ... and alien life.
According to the CNN report, "As NASA prepares to hunt for Earth-like planets in our corner of the Milky Way galaxy, there's new buzz that "Star Trek's" vision of a universe full of life may not be that far-fetched."
An unnamed source to STARstream Research, with an extensive background providing intelligence to the US government, previously confirmed "three contacts" between the government and "extraterrestrial biological" beings from other worlds, beginning shortly after World War Two and returning during the 1980s and 1990s. The source did not offer to provide any substantiating evidence to support the claim of alien life visiting the Earth.
CNN also reported:
There may be 100 billion Earth-like planets in the Milky Way, or one for every sun-type star in the galaxy, said Alan Boss, an astronomer with the Carnegie Institution and author of the new book "The Crowded Universe: The Search for Living Planets."
It is interesting that the present population of human beings on our planet is roughly 1/17 of the number of Earth-like worlds postulated by Boss.
