• Britain’s former top spy and ex-head of MI6, Sir John Sawers (pictured above) told the Digital Transformation EXPO in London October 1st that given the universe’s infinite size it would be “extraordinary” if comparable life doesn’t exist elsewhere. Said Sawers, “I think we should go forward on the assumption that nothing on this planet is unique.”

• The views of Sir John, who was Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service from 2009 until 2014, are backed by more than half the UK public. A YouGov survey in 2015 found that 58% of Britons believe intelligent life exists, but is too far away to contact. A marginally lower number think that human beings are not yet advanced enough to communicate with aliens.

• But one in five Britons are convinced that we have contacted intelligent life but the government has covered it up. In September, British scientists discovered the first planet warm and wet enough to support life. It is called K2-18b and it is 110 light years away. The late British scientist Stephen Hawking said the search for extra-terrestrial life was “the most exciting quest in 21st-century science”.
