What do you think this announcement will be? Doesn't sound like a TV series or movie. Maybe some kind of conference or something?

I think that most of those who use the term in this context are either disingenuous or ignorant.
Physicists know about four forces that govern the way particles interact: electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces, and gravity. Gravity is by far the weakest. Think about sticking a magnet to a refrigerator door. The magnet can respond to the electromagnetic force that attracts it to the door. Or it can respond to the gravitational force of the Earth below. If you let it go at a short enough distance, it sticks straight to the door, ignoring the entire planet beneath it.
Physicists wonder why gravity seems so much weaker than the other three forces. One possibility is that we’re only experiencing a fraction of it. It could be that the gravitational force acts partially in another dimension, or many extra dimensions, that we can’t perceive. Knowing more about gravity could help physicists seeking to form a so-called theory of everything, a theory that combines the four forces into one.
Extra dimensions would not necessarily consist of alternate worlds, as depicted in science fiction. They could simply be too small for us to see…

We're--all of us--grasping in the dark at this point in time. Through a telescope darkly if you will!

It is this property that the scientists wish to exploit by building a telescope that uses this effect to image exoplanets, or planets around other stars. This idea was presented by the JPL scientists at a NASA workshop in late February.
Such a telescope could image exoplanets at extremely high resolution, turning a single pixel into an image 1000 pixels across. This is enough to directly observe any continents on exoplanets a hundred light-years away.
What I will conjecture is this; is that the inter-dimensional travel is more difficult than the linear traveling to one planet to another.

I am of the opinion that linear travel at higher speed is never going to be an option for humans.
Gaining freedoms is the only way to 'access' higher dimensions. We are governed by 4 freedoms, the problem is, how do you travel to a place that is governed by more freedoms without interacting with it so you don't die/Smite!
buddhism is in contact with these kind of beings. He talked about aliens at least for half an our.
Consider that the human race in general may have experienced a traumatic event in its remote past. What if – aside from political, economic, and ideological conflicts which could just as easily be solved through peaceful means – our wars are really what is left of this initial, ancient trauma? A psychological or emotional reaction that keeps getting played out, over and over, because we have not been able to consciously address that initial trauma?
Then, there is the problem that even the UFO community itself has become “balkanized” over the past few decades with different alliances and allegiances being formed and groups sniping at each other. This is either the result of normal human interaction or it is possibly manipulated in order to keep the community disorganized so that it does not become a threat to the status quo.

Yep. A few years ago I was attented to an buddhist empowering ritual. After the ritual was a free q/a. I asked about aliens from the tibetan lama. His answer was that buddhism knows there are aliens. Furthermore: buddhism is in contact with these kind of beings. He talked about aliens at least for half an our. It was very interesting.
Cloaked in secrecy for over 400 years, the State Oracle of Tibet has been a strange and mystical aspect of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. This ancient spirit, which has inhabited a succession of thirteen human mediums, advises the Dalai Lama on matters of public and religious policy. To witness the eerie spectacle of a medium entering a trance state and being possessed by the Oracle is to confront profound questions about the very nature of human consciousness.
With permission from the Dalai Lama that had never been granted before, The Oracle explores the ancient practice of consulting spirits.
