Good news alien enthusiasts! Area 51 officially exists!

For decades, Area 51 was one of the governments worst kept secrets – a secret military base that everyone knew about. A recently declassified CIA document has now confirmed the existence of the ‘secret’ military base in the middle of the Nevada desert making the inner conspiracy theorist in us all jump with glee. Unfortunately, happiness turns to sorrow because the CIA still hasn’t released any documentation that Area 51 has been visited by extraterrestrials, nor that any alien spaceships crashed in the desert in the 40s, nor that humanity has received any sign of the existence of aliens whatsoever.

Of course, everyone knows first contact will really happen in the middle of Montana in 2063, but we’re talking about Roswell right now.

The Search for a Habitable Planet: Gliese 667Cc

As far as extra-solar planet hunting goes, we"ve found quite a few of them. Most, however, haven"t been remotely discussed as being potential candidates to host life as we know it. In fact, hardly any have been discovered inside the Goldilocks region of their star (the area where liquid water could theoretically exist). However, scientists know of one planet that could potentially host life. It has been dubbed the "holy grail" of extrasolar planets, and it"s only 22 light-years away!
