Adam Frank also reveals how close we may be to finding intelligent life beyond Earth, the problems with UFO sightings in the smartphone era, what aliens might look like, how evidence of life can become confirmed detection, and what might happen if we did make contact with an extra-terrestrial civilisation.<\/p>
