Re: The closest exoplanet has been discovered.
Very slim to none. A rogue planet would be very cold and totally lifeless, meaning it would emit very feebly indeed in the radio wavelengths. Spotting such bodies is very hard indeed (witness all the trouble they had finding Pluto and that's only at the (relatively) close distance of 39-40 AU.

Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."
Corrax Entry 7:17: So you walk eternally through the shadow realms, standing against evil where all others falter. May your thirst for retribution never quench, may the blood on your sword never dry, and may we never need you again.
