"It’s quite a cosmic joke to think that we’ve been spending decades planning missions and observations to find Earth-mass planets orbiting much more distant stars and Nature hides an Easter egg just beside us," added Jenkins, who is analysis lead for NASA's prolific planet-hunting Kepler Space Telescope.
Cosmic joke allright.... can't wait to hear something similar from SETI in the near future:

As far as ET intelligence is concerned, I've always suspected that intensive near-earth searches would be less favored by NASA due to the high potential in destabilizing societies and value systems.
Like Dr. Zaius holding that human doll that could talk
