"Stay home ET. UK scientist: Aliens may pose risks"

LONDON -- British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking says aliens are out
there, but it could be too dangerous for humans to interact with
extraterrestrial life.

Hawking claims in a new documentary that intelligent alien lifeforms
almost certainly exist, but warns that communicating with them could
be "too risky."

The 68-year-old scientist says a visit by extraterrestrials to Earth
would be like Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas, "which
didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."

He speculates most extraterrestrial life will be similar to microbes,
or small animals - but adds advanced lifeforms may be "nomads, looking
to conquer and colonize."

The Discovery Channel said Sunday it will broadcast "Stephen Hawking's
Universe" in Britain next month.
