For many centuries, humans have speculated that there might be planetary systems around other stars and that there could be extraterrestrial life there and even intelligent being. However, those were simply speculations, and now we have evidence for the first part of these ideas.

8 QUOTES WITH «EXTRATERRESTRIAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word extraterrestrial.
1
Nick Bostrom
Discovering traces of life on Mars would be of tremendous scientific significance: The first time that any signs of extraterrestrial life had ever been detected. Many people would also find it heartening to learn that we're not entirely alone in this vast, cold cosmos.
2
Ann Druyan
This planet seems to be in such sorry shape. And I can't ever think about the rest of the universe without coming back home and thinking what the implications for life here would be if we were to really have some definitive proof of extraterrestrial life.
3
David Duchovny
I don't believe in a conspiracy to hide the existence of extraterrestrial life.
4
Orrin Hatch
The Federal government does not have any information about extraterrestrial life to conceal, and there are no secret projects for me to investigate.
5
Stephen Rodrick
Maybe it's impossible to spend time with Patrick Stewart and not have the conversation move to the extraterrestrial.
6
Seth Shostak
In a movie, it's often important to have aliens whose gestures and facial expressions can be 'read' by humans. And in the days before sophisticated computer animation, most extraterrestrial bit players were guys in rubber suits. Such practical considerations forced Hollywood's hand when it came to aliens - they look like us for good reasons.
7
George Smoot
For many centuries, humans have speculated that there might be planetary systems around other stars and that there could be extraterrestrial life there and even intelligent being. However, those were simply speculations, and now we have evidence for the first part of these ideas.
8
Rick Yancey
Sci-Fi is the genre that explored both possibilities: the end of our existential crisis and the end of our existence. My novel, 'The 5th Wave,' explores the latter scenario, because, frankly, I believe it represents the likeliest outcome of an extraterrestrial encounter. In short, if they're out there, we better hope they never find us.
