It will be some time before scientists can be sure there are truly Earth-like planets in our cosmic backyard. The Berkeley team detected planets by their mass alone, but know nothing about their sizes. This makes it impossible to answer crucial questions such as whether the planets are wet and rocky like Earth, or are inhospitable gas balls or giant water worlds.

Because in the Bible it says that god created man as a crown of creation. Would there be aliens about, it would mean that they would be superior to us as they can travel vast distances of space.

i always saw disclosure as being the governments coming clean that they had recovered alien craft in the past and/or made contact with intelligent alien life?.

Depends how you define disclosure.
The discovery was reported in the journal Science.
Voters in the City and County of Denver have the right to place initiatives on the ballot by petition. Several steps are involved in this process, and the procedures are prescribed by law.
For an initiated ordinance, petitioners must collect valid signatures from registered Denver voters equaling five percent of the total votes cast in the previous mayoral election. For 2009 and 2010, this equals 3,973 valid signatures. Petitioners are encouraged to gather an ample number of signatures in excess of this to ensure that at least the required number of signatures are confirmed valid.

what government is going to admit lying to the public for decades over such a huge issue?.

Billions of Earth-size planets orbiting sun-like stars, researchers say
At least one in every four stars like the sun have planets about the size of Earth circling them in very close orbits, researchers said Thursday. That means our galaxy alone, with its 200 billion sun-like stars, has at least 46 billion Earth-size planets orbiting close to the stars, and perhaps billions more farther out in the so-called habitable zone, said astronomer Andrew Howard of the University of California, a co-author of the paper. The discovery was reported in the journal Science.

Yeah, just like your "october 13th" disclosure, which turned out to be nothing! Yes, its good that we are finding new planets. And i am certain that there are many life forms are out there, and maybe they could be visiting earth, who knows. But the hardcore believers are killing this subject with their "believe everything" viewpoint. And thats a shame, because there are some great cases out there, but these days people are more interested in the hoaxers and balloons
