WASHINGTON, Ramadan 18, 1435, Jul 15, 2014, SPA -- At a panel discussion on the search for alien life, held this week at NASA's headquarters in Washington, the agency's top scientists said they're getting close, UPI reported. NASA scientists were joined by leading figures in the fields of astronomy, physics and planetary sciences. "We believe we're very, very close in terms of technology and science to actually finding the other Earth and our chance to find signs of life on another world," Sara Seager, a physicist at MIT and recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, told a packed audience on Monday. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said finding alien life was all but inevitable. --SPA 19:53 LOCAL TIME 16:53 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
