SETI, the technology behind searching the far reaches of space to find intelligent life

The Discovery Channel delves into the real perspective of what our first alien encounters will be like, so they met with a senior astronomer of the SETI institute, SETI which stands for "Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence" is a non-profit organization surveying the sky which aims to detect signal transmission from alien civilizations from the far reaches of space. SETI believes in the possibility of finding extra-terrestrial life in the next thousand years with their constant efforts using telescopes to listen to distant galaxies together with the collaborative efforts of NASA's exploration rovers designed to explore the landscapes of moons and planets within our solar system. With such advance technology the possibility of finding alien life form is likely to happen even from very simple micro organisms to advanced intelligent life from distant stars. The SETI Institute is currently building groups of telescopes which is a project that will consist of 350 antennas. SETI suspects there is a better chance of finding life on mars before finding life around the stars. Finding even the tiniest micro organisms on mars may give us the opportunity to investigate further if there is a distinct possibility that life on earth may have descended from mars.
