Russian scientists expect humanity to encounter alien civilisations within the next two decades, a top Russian astronomer said on Monday.
"The genesis of life is as inevitable as the formation of atoms ... Life exists on other planets and we will find it within 20 years," said Andrei Finkelstein, director of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Applied Astronomy Institute, according to the Interfax news agency.
Speaking at an international forum dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial life, Finkelstein said 10% of the known planets circling suns in the galaxy resemble Earth.
If water can be found there, then so can life, he said, adding that aliens would most likely resemble humans with two arms, two legs and a head.
"They may have different colour skin, but even we have that," he said.
Finkelstein's institute runs a programme launched in the 1960s at the height of the cold war space race to watch for and beam out radio signals to outer space.
"The whole time we have been searching for extraterrestrial civilisations, we have mainly been waiting for messages from space and not the other way," he said.

Maybe disclosure over the next 20 years, but alien encounters have already happened and continue to happen today.
Eh... this guy gives no reason why he feels this way, just a bunch of theoretical drivel. And his claim that they would look like humans is absurd. Anyone with a basic understanding of Evolution could tell you that is pretty much as close to literally impossible as you can get.
I think the left hand doesn't know what the right hand has already done!:)...so much for Disclosure!?
They live here with us, but their mind it seems,is in another world.
Its quite clear these days that the internet and alternative media have backfired on the NWO takeover and the corrupt systems they control. So its not surprising when more and more we see these types of admissions from top level people. They know that soon they will not be able to hide the reality of extraterrestrials and the fact that they've been visiting us and the reality that we've already been visiting them.
Many credible whistle-blowers who have held high level security classifications in many areas of government have admitted that there are multiple races of beings that have been visiting earth for a long time. Some of those races look identical to us and that we would never know the difference. They've also admitted that some races have thousands of years of technology ahead of us.
I think that is significant to why NASA is shutting down the Space Shuttle program. I have a gut feeling that we're going to soon see government bodies unveil a new space program (they've been hiding from us) that will utilize advanced technology. A technology they've already been using to travel far distances through space.
So I'm not surprised at all by this statement.
Randall, that is crazy. The space shuttle is getting scrapped because it is unsafe, overly expensive, but provides many jobs. The job aspect is literally the only reason it ever happened. Capsule's are safer and more effective. By not knowing that you've proven you don't investigate your claims.
To the last comment
What makes you think I don't know that capsules are safer and more effective?
The Space Shuttle is old technology. I said I have a gut feeling that NASA is ending the Space Shuttle program because I speculate on the possibility of a new technology they've been keeping a secret. Perhaps a more SAFER and EFFECTIVE technology.
I didn't feel the need to investigate and provide facts because my comment was not based on facts. It's based on theory and speculation which of course leaves the door wide open for me to be wrong. But, being wrong is not a big deal to me.
Since you made the effort to point out that you think I lack intelligence and that your somehow more intelligent than I am, then help me become more knowledgeable. Enlighten me with your knowledge.
