Why Anonymous claims Nasa is about to announce the discovery of aliens

Anonymous claims Nasa is about to announce it has found alien life. The truth is a little more complicated – but no less wondrous. An account affiliated with the hacking and activism collective has released a viral video claiming Nasa is "on the verge" of detailing contact with extraterrestrial species. It takes much of its evidence from the work the space agency is doing to explore space and look for alien worlds across the universe. And while such claims might overestimate just how quickly the discovery will emerge, they are based in the truth.
