ET Discovery Could Happen Within 10 Years: World Economic Forum
By Lee Speigel Posted: 02/01/2013 8:52 am EST

The discovery of alien life or Earth-like planets and the implications to the world was a crucial item on the agenda at the annual World Economic Forum, or WEF, in Davos, Switzerland.

World business leaders and prominent politicians gathered to discuss issues or risks that the world may have to confront in the next decade.

So how did ETs become part of the mix?

In conjunction with the international science journal, Nature, the WEF came up with five "X Factor" items which it refers to as "unheralded dangers that sneak up on us."

One of those risk issues that Earth and its inhabitants may soon face is "the possible social consequences of contact with alien life," according to Nature.

In 10 years' time, we may have evidence not only that Earth is not unique, but also that life exists elsewhere in the universe."

Significant Cognitive Enhancement





The Voice of Russia notes that the WEF team "urges the global elite to prepare themselves and their nations for such a discovery. The scientists suggest that new funding and new brain power will be needed to overcome the challenges that humanity will face as a result of its encounter with an extraterrestrial civilization."

In case you were wondering, the other "X Factor" risk items considered by the WEF were:



•Runaway Climate Change


•Significant Cognitive Enhancement


•Rogue Deployment of Geoengineering


•Costs of Living Longer
