Has NASA Found Aliens? Find Out At 1pm EST Today

NASA will host a live event at 1pm EST “to present new findings on planets that orbit stars other than our sun, known as exoplanets.” The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website early this afternoon.

The Internet is speculating that NASA has found aliens, or signs of extra-terrestrial life. It has been suggested that, perhaps, NASA photographed something like a square object on an exoplanet — square shapes are often used by humans for design and engineering purposes such as town planning. All we can do is speculate until 1pm EST this afternoon. You can watch the NASA announcement online here for free.

From a marketing and communications perspective, the announcement by NASA of “something huge” from beyond our solar system is perfectly timed. With Earth experiencing such incredible humanitarian, environmental and political distress, the best distraction would come from beyond our solar system — something much larger to remind us that we’re all humans on Earth, we’re all the same, and we all live in the same home called Earth.
