Interesting, my first thoughts were "oh, they've discovered a crash landed alien space craft in America, the only country aliens ever seem to visit" :P

It'll be interesting to see what they've discovered.

They're going fake ET to make sure they aren't beaten by Russia in the race to get an extraterrestrial.

Certainly a positive announcement but I'm sure everyone else is with me here in that aliens aren't interesting when they're just bacteria life, it's all about life-size aliens we can actually interact with etc. It gives us hope at least.

Sounds really interesting, gives hope that (freindly :) ) inteligent life will be found sooner rather than later.
