"Where Is ET?" – A Talk by Mike Reid

Join Northern Virginia WASH for a fascinating talk by longtime WASH speaker Mike Reid as he explores the question:
"Where is ET?"
Mike will walk us through what we know about the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe — and why he's skeptical of claims that Earth has ever been visited. With decades of experience supporting space missions and serving as a docent at the Smithsonian’s Hall of Human Origins, Mike brings a deep and accessible perspective to this cosmic mystery.
This will be a casual, science-focused event, open to all curious minds.
