The article is from 2011, however an interesting assertion that will certainly have the UFO aficionado's up in arms.

The quick and dirty: "There is no hope of finding alien life in space because conditions on all other planets are too hostile, ...." so claims Howard Smith, a senior astrophysicist at Harvard.

"Extrasolar systems are far more diverse than we expected, and that means very few are likely to support life.
"Any hope of contact has to be limited to a relatively tiny bubble of space around the Earth, stretching perhaps 1,250 light years out from our planet, where aliens might be able to pick up our signals or send us their own.
But communicating would still take decades or centuries."

Remember, he might be wrong.  Suspect

Shhhhh, don't let Fox Mulder and Dana Scully know about this.

Oh wow, only 500 planets in the entire universe?

It turns out that because of Climate Disruption...there are fewer planets.
