Congress Hears Alien Life Testimony

By PAUL RECER
.c The Associated Press

 
WASHINGTON (AP) - Seven years after members of Congress rejected research
into extraterrestrial life as a search for ``little green men,'' lawmakers
encouraged scientists in their efforts to find life beyond the Earth.

``The discovery of life in the universe would be one of the most astounding
discoveries in human history,'' Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Thursday at a
hearing of the House space science subcommittee. ``Funding should match
public interest and I don't believe it does.''

Smith said that since funds for the search for extra terrestrial intelligence
(SETI) were booted out of the federal budget in 1994, ``the SETI credibility
has been enhanced.''

Four scientists appearing as witnesses said that in the last five years the
concept that life exists beyond the Earth has been boosted by dramatic
discoveries both on Earth and in space.

Among the advances cited:

At least 50 planets have been found in orbit of distant, sun-like stars in
the last five years and researchers now believe that solar systems may be
common through out the universe. Finding planets was considered an essential
step toward finding life.

``All of these planets are Jupiter-size or larger,'' said Ed Weiler, NASA's
associate administrator for space science. ``No Earth-like planets have been
found, but we don't yet have the technology'' to detect planets the size of
Earth in orbit of distant stars.

However, Weiler said that a space observatory now being built will be able to
search for the chemical signatures of life in the atmospheres of planets up
to 50 light years away.

Liquid water is considered an essential chemical for the development of life
and it has been found now on moons of Jupiter and in orbit of at least one
distant star. Also, there is strong proof that water was once common on Mars
and there are plans to search beneath the Martian surface for evidence of
water, the most likely place for life on the Red Planet.

Detailed studies of galaxies suggest that the formation of planets and solar
systems may be common. The Hubble space telescope has captured many images of
stars surrounded by the dust and gas clouds thought to be precursors for
planets.

Researchers have found bacteria that live in the coldest of salt water, in
the deep pressure and heat of volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean, and
in the most acid of environments. Since life is possible in such hostile
environments on Earth, then it may also have developed in extreme conditions
that may exist on other planets.

In 1994, some members of Congress ridiculed the SETI Institute and its
efforts to detect radio signals from alien civilizations, calling the effort
``a search for little green men.''

The SETI concept fell so far out of favor that the National Science
Foundation put a notation on its Web site that proposals for SETI research
were not welcome.

Christopher F. Chyba, a leader of the SETI Institute in California, said that
since losing its congressional funding, the program has been supported by
private donations, has about 120 employees, and is regularly searching for
signals on two million radio channels using a major radio telescope in Puerto
Rico.

Chyba said SETI, in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley,
is now building a $30 million radio telescope array that will be able to
listen to signals from the nearest one million stars in many channels.

And, said Chyba, the NSF has now removed its restriction on funding of SETI
research. Proposals for SETI research now compete for funding ``on a level
playing field'' with other research proposals, he said.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said it was impressive that SETI continued to
thrive even though federal funds were cut off, and she said the federal
government should not be biased toward the research.

``We need to let the federal agencies know that bias against SETI research is
not favored,'' said Lofgren. ``No member of this committee wants bias against
any good science.''

Astronomers at a news conference Wednesday said that the finding, by an orbiting observatory, strengthens the theory that there may be life-supporting planets elsewhere in the universe. Gary Melnick of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said the star, called CW Leonis, is "the perfect laboratory for dissecting a dying solar system." Melnick said the discovery marks the first time a solar-system type of water cloud has been found around a star other than the sun. He said that since water is considered essential for biological activity, the discovery boosts the idea that planets orbiting other stars may harbor life. -------------------------------- H.
