When the critically minded person encounters such cases, reads or
listens to unproved information he would not hurry in trusting or which is
worse taking them as proofs for the existence of extraterrestrial life and
intelligent creatures trying to establish contact with the human
civilisation. To him it is clear that this problem is constantly subjected to
the scrutiny of the researches in that field, and if a positive result is
achieved it will be immediately announced to the entire mankind longing
for such a really sensational news.
Hoping for the discovery of a certain form of extraterrestrial life or
living creatures similar or different from the ones on the Earth,
investigations are being continued with the implementation of more
sophisticated automatic and controlled interplanetary stations. Up to now
these are only undertaken in the boundaries of the Solar system where it
is still impossible to assert definately that life either past or present is not
to be detected on some of its planets. If as a result of another triumph of
space sciences and astronautics, it is made possible to go out of its
limits and to enter new, more distant systems in the Cosmos, the
chances to answer this question will be greatly increased. Let us hope
the answer will be positive.
