Former British Defense Ministry UFO project leader Nick Pope has boldly predicted that aliens will reveal themselves to humans no later than 2024, and might even land on the White House lawn, just like in the movies. Or, they may just send an email.

What makes him so sure?
According to an article published by the Jagran Post on Thursday, Dec. 27, that's when the largest telescope in history will go online, improving current imaging and spectrum detection quality by a factor of 50, and at 10,000 times the speed of modern field-array radio telescopes.
The telescope, which will be constructed in the Australian outback, is called the Square Kilometer Array, or the SKA. 2024 is the year it's planned to be finished and turned on. According to Pope, it's the technological leap which will help to pinpoint potential alien life forms with more accuracy than ever before.
"If there is a civilization within 100 light years this telescope could find it" says the former top-cop on Britain's UFO beat.
The SKA telescope is the most ambitious ever planned. It will be made up of thousands of receptors, covering around 5,000 square kilometers of the Earth's surface in the remote wilds of Australia.
So, if there are aliens nearby, this telescope has the best chance of spotting and contacting them. But a landing on the White House lawn?
What do you think?
