Scientists meet to discuss possibility of alien life

Some of the world's most respected scientists are currently meeting in London to discuss possibility of alien life.

The two-day conference at The Royal Society will see experts discussing the detection of extra-terrestrial life and the consequences for science and society.

Topics will include what will alien life look like, and how do you break news of alien discoveries to the world without creating wide-spread pandemonium?

Lord Rees, the president of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal says that the chance of discovering life on other worlds is greater now than ever before.

However, top US physicist Paul Davies believes we should be looking for alien life here on Earth first… after watching Britain's got Talent, we think that is a safe bet.
