Astronomer Predicts Alien Contact By 2025

Washington, D.C. (WFN) -- A lot of people are skeptical about aliens, but qualified astronomers think otherwise.

One of these astronomers, Seth Shostak -- an astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) -- believes we will make contact with the little green men by 2025.

He says we will make this connection by either light signals from our increasingly powerful telescopes or by broadcast waves.

Still, Shostak says there is "no possibility" of us and aliens coming face to face "a la" "Mars Attacks" in the near future.

That's because "it's so difficult to travel between the stars" in a short amount of time, Shostak says, and no matter what kind of technology we or the aliens ever possess, you still "can't beat the laws of physics."

Shostak's claim, and those of other astronomers, will be seen on an upcoming documentary, "Naked Science: Alien Contact", which airs Nov. 24 on the National Geographic Channel.
