Astronomers have miraculously claimed to be 99.7% sure they've found proof of alien life outside the solar system - and some people claim they've already been visited and abducted by extra-terrestrials

Scientists have revealed they're incredibly close to discovering the existence of life outside our solar system. They found two specific chemicals in a distant planet's atmosphere that can only be manufactured by actual life.
"Decades from now, we may look back at this point in time and recognise it was when the living universe came within reach," said Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy's Professor Nikku Madhusudhan.
"This could be the tipping point, where suddenly the fundamental question of whether we’re alone in the universe is one we’re capable of answering."
But, some people think they've already come face-to-face with aliens, and even been abducted. One of those people, British clairvoyant Philip Kinsella, said he was probed by reptilian aliens in 1989.
He was levitating and moving through the rooms of his home, before being strapped naked to a board and probed by the extra-terrestrials, he claimed.

"The image that was the most raw, that I will never forget, was their faces," he told The Sun. "They looked like dinosaurs, but they were reptilian, about seven to eight feet tall."
Mr Kinsella also revealed the six key signs that you've been abducted by aliens - and you might not even know about it.

Bumps under the skin
Aliens leave little, tiny implants in humans' skin when they've been abducted, he claimed. It results in small, unusual bumps appearing underneath the skin. They might be barely visible though, and could simply be the size of a grain of rice.
He said: "Sometimes they're very tiny, very small, and they have kind of like a very hard, not metallic, but kind of like strange structure." The implants could leave the skin feeling generally quite itchy, and they'd also appear in x-rays.
Nosebleeds
A number of alien abductees claimed they had severe nosebleeds immediately after their probing. Mr Kinsella said the random nosebleeds lasted for two years, and blood would pour out of his nose for no obvious reason.
Meanwhile, Linda Neapolitano - who said she was abducted in 1989 - also said she woke up the next morning with a nosebleed.
Strange memories
You might've been abducted by aliens if subtle, random memories start creeping back into your mind, claimed Mr Kinsella. Some abductees are so traumatised by the experience that their brain blocks it from their memories, he said.
But, some fractured memories could come forward if they're drawn "surface deep from the subconcious mind to the conscious mind". You might even feel like the memories are so real, that you "will actually feel them", he added.

Missing time
Abductees could feel like huge periods of time have passed without any real knowledge of what happened in them, he said.
Russ Kellett claimed he might have been abducted by aliens about 30 years ago. He said he was stood outside watching a series of orbs in the sky for about 20 minutes.
But, when he came back inside the house, his family were concerned about how long he'd been gone - because he'd actually been outside for a lot longer than he thought.
He said: "Thinking back, I could very well have been abducted that evening being so close to what was happening. I don't remember it if I did get abducted and do feel as though there was lost time that evening, but I guess I’ll never know."
Psychic powers
Mr Kinsella said the an alien encounter could open up victims' minds, and even spark psychic powers. Reserachers previously revealed a link between higher levels of paranormal beliefs and self-reporter pyschic powers.

He said: "People will also have their minds opened, or another aspect to their mind open. So I became psychic. So, did they instigate that?"
