Are we alone in the universe? The ultimate question of life beyond Earth and the solar system takes center stage in a science conference led by the Vatican Observatory and a University of Arizona this week.

Nearly 200 scientists are attending the conference, called "The Search for Life Beyond the Solar System: Exoplanets, Biosignature & Instruments," which runs from March 16 through 21 in Tucson, Ariz. The Vatican Observatory is co-hosting the conference with the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory.

Believers HAVE FOUND life beyond Earth, in the person of Jesus Christ. There is nothing worth finding except Him. Period. End of item.

While I admire your answer and “agree”, I think God has given us the tools and expects us to explore. If not, we waste that which we are given.

The Vatican is employing L.U.C.I.F.E.R.
to seek the arrival of Aliens from Mt Graham

This is being directed by "Peter the Roman".

"Contemporary societies will look to The Aliens
to be the Saviors of humankind"

You are correct as well!

Pascal said “The silence of the eternal spaces terrifies me”. Much later, Auden quipped “Space was holy to the pilgrims of old, until the plane stopped all that nonsense”.

Pagans make much of the Moon (for example) as if a force of its own. I look at it and thrill at its beauty and the realization that Jesus holds it together with unfathomable power. I know my Creator made it and faithfully sustains it...and you...and me. Surely a believing scientist can thrill at it, knowing even more about it!

Speaking of Jesus, John said;
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Jhn 1:3
He was in the world, and the world was made by him Jhn 1:10
Paul said Jesus made Worlds;
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the WORLDS Hbr 1:2
Through faith we understand that the WORLDS were framed by the word of God Hbr 11:3

Isaiah states the reason Jesus made the world;
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Isa 45:18
My conclusion?

The WORLDS were not created in vain either, they are inhabited.
We have been told the manner of His return. I believe any perceived or “seeming” contact can be/ might be caused by the enemy to distract. The enemy does have the power;
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men Rev 13:13
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast Rev 13:14

We'd all be better off if it did.

I wonder what Traditional Catholic teaching is on “Aliens” or “Extraterrestrial Life”.

I'm not sure of the motivation for your remark.

But for your learning and illumination,
I offer you the following links:

Vatican and Lucifer

What the devil? Scientists tap power of 'Lucifer'

Do not rebuke an older man,
but exhort him as a father,
younger men as brothers.
