US starts project to find alien life

PressTV - US starts project to find alien life: "The United States has inaugurated a massive radio telescope in rural West Virginia to listen for signs of extraterrestrial life on 86 Earth-like planets. US astronomers said on Friday that the colossal dish will gather 24 hours of data on each of the planets, which have been selected from a list of 1,235 planets identified by NASA's Kepler space telescope, AFP reported. 'It's not absolutely certain that all of these stars have habitable planetary systems, but they're very good places to look for ET,' said Andrew Siemion, one of the scientists working on the project."
