UFOs on top scientist's agenda for 2010

Mon Jan 25 2010

What will alien life look like if we find it? Will we be meeting life-forms incredibly similar to ourselves or will they be the frightful monsters of sci-fi films? How do you break news of alien discoveries to the world without creating wide-spread pandemonium?

Some of the world's finest scientific minds have assembled to discuss the question of UFOs.

Eminent academics and scientists are attending a two-day conference in London organised by the Royal Society - the UK's national academy of science.

Professor Paul Davies, director of BEYOND: Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, will discuss man's search for extra-terrestrial life and the consequences for science and society.

Speakers will also include representatives from Nasa, the European Space Agency and the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs. Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal will also be chairing one of the sessions.

The discussion meeting 'The detection of extra-terrestrial life and the consequences for science and society' is the first to take place in the Royal Society's 350th anniversary year.
