    Nice, it’ll be settled once and for all then. Just like last time.

    I suspect they’ll tell us one of these three:

    • There’s no sign of intelligent life outside of earth but we’ve found traces that could indicate previous microbial life in space. Just like last time we told you.
    • We’ve found aliens since the last time we talked publicly about this but forgot to tell you.
    • We knew and lied all along.

    I think I know what they’ll say.

      We knew and lied all along.

      I’ll go ahead and rule this one out. Even if this were a true statement, I don’t recall a government agency ever admitting fault.
