> In other words, given what we now know about the number and orbital positions of the galaxy’s planets, the degree of pessimism required to doubt the existence, at some point in time, of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization borders on the irrational.

AKA "Yes, there might have been aliens". Interesting article, sensationalist headline.
