A new study presented at the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Science (EPSC-DPS) in Helsinki in September 2025 has reignited debate about alien life. The research was carried out by Manuel Scherf and Helmut Lammer of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
Their findings suggest that intelligent aliens may exist, but they could be far beyond humanity's reach. According to their models, advanced extraterrestrial life might be located as far as 33,000 light-years away. The study raises questions about whether UFO or UAP sightings on Earth could ever be linked to such distant beings.
