Yes. In the last three years, there have been too many signs that an encounter with other life forms must have happened, or that there was a discovery about it that the public will be made aware of in the near future.

Only weeks ago, former president Barack Obama admitted to Colbert that he had been "certainly asked about it" (UFOS) and "can't tell you about it. Sorry."

The amount and the growing frequency of references to extraterrestrial lives in popular culture suggests that the public is being prepared for a declaration.

Perhaps it won’t be a positive news like “We found life in the Universe”, but of a more sinister bent like “We have been doing tests on some beings we captured, but here is why we had to do it…”

Something involving life from outer space must have occurred— it would surprise me more, if it hadn’t.
