They're Out There

Via the Daily Mail a pointy head insists life is out there and quite possibly close by:

Alien life could be discovered within the next two decades – but, these lifeforms will be far from intelligent beings, one expert claims.
According to astronomer Chris Impey, scientists are likely on the verge of detecting microbes on a planet beyond our own, with nearby candidates such as Jupiter’s moon Europa thought to contain some of the conditions to support life.
We agree. Given the conditions on Europa or Titan we'd be shocked if there wasn't life down there. Heck in To Survive the Earth the Jai invaders are eating an eel they farm from Europa and the Indian Space navy won't use nukes there for fear of causing environmental damage.

We also agree that no technologically advanced civilization is anywhere near earth.  We'd be getting their electronic signals, right?

This was always one of the huge flaws with Star Trek. According to Gene Roddenberry inhabited star systems are all around us, but we have no contact with them until we get warp. Of course they already have warp but never bother stopping by. That's like the Europeans never setting out west across the Atlantic.

So keep looking guys.
