Seti Pioneer Believes Sending Out Signals In The Milky Way Makes No Sense

Seti Pioneer Believes Sending Out Signals In The Milky Way Makes No Sense
Many believe that it makes no sense to send out signals to search for ET life because of the idea that their existence started millions of years ahead of humanity, which makes them advanced enough to monitor Earth thousands of years. The idea believes that aliens saw bonfires set by ancient Egyptians and other Earthly activities around that time.

Astronomer FRANK DRAKE is one of those people who are against sending out signals to search for extraterrestrial life because, for them, it makes no sense at all.

Drake was behind the first modern hunt for ET life in the 1960s and also the Drake equation, which quantifies the number of civilisations in Milky Way based on probability.

Currently, researchers at the SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE (SETI) are listening out radio signals rather than sending them to potentially habitable planets. The search for intelligent alien life has received mix reactions with some saying that mankind might end up coming across an alien race that can do more harm than good.

Drake, 84, stated in a recent interview that he is against sending out signals not because of fear that evil aliens might know about mankind and when they do, they will come and invade our planet. Drake explains that he is against sending out signals because aliens have known humanity more than we know ourselves. So, sending out messages to let them know our existence makes no sense, according to Drake.

Drake said that aliens want mankind to be aware of their existence, so the efforts of listening to signals are more reasonable than sending out messages. He explained that aliens are doing us a favour to communicate with them, and it is up for humanity to listen what they want to tell us.

A Day With Et Fantastic Space Cites And Technology Beyond Belief

A Day With Et Fantastic Space Cites And Technology Beyond Belief

A DAY WITH AN EXTRATERRESTRAIL

AN ABDUCTION ACCOUNT. MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE; WE ARE NOT ALONE. MANY PEOPLE WANT PROOF OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION AND WHY NOT. HOWEVER, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OR VISITED BY EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS ARE NOT GIVEN PROOF; ALL THEY HAVE IS THEIR OWN UNIQUE EXPERIENCES. MOST WILL NOT SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHERS FEARING JOB LOSE OR OTHER HUMILIATIONS THAT COMES WHEN TELLING OTHERS OF SUCH EXTRAORDINARY AND BIZARRE EXPERIENCES. HUMAN ABDUCTIONS BY EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS HAPPEN- BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

A DAY WITH AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL IS A STORY ABOUT ONGOING ALIEN ABDUCTIONS THAT HAVE REMAINED HIDDEN AND UNKNOWN BY MOST OF THE HUMAN POPULATION ON EARTH, SAYS LOU BALDIN. ABDUCTIONS AND VISITATIONS BY ALIEN BEINGS HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT IN MODERN TIMES AS HUMANS ARE BOMBARDED BY EVER-INCREASING AMOUNTS OF TECHNOLOGY; TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS DRASTICALLY CHANGE HUMANKIND FROM A LOW-TECH PASTORAL EXISTENCE (HORSE AND PLOW) TO A SPACE AGE EXISTENCE IN LESS THAN A HUNDRED YEARS.

The rapid and drastic change in technology over the last hundred years fell into place seamlessly, taking place with little notice or much distraction as if it were a natural human progression; a process that happens throughout the galaxy on other similar planets under similar circumstance and unfolding as blossoms on a cherry tree; most blossoms will produce nearly exact cherries, so too the many planets blossoming on the branches of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Alien abductions happen in many places and in various ways for numerous reasons while the abductees rarely if ever know that they have been taken by extraterrestrial beings and placed into UFOs and tampered with. Extraterrestrials use technology that is far superior to any technology humans are in possession of, and can abduct people as easily as humans capture, sedate and manipulate animals for various reason and then turn them loose, with the animal never knowing that they were tampered with.

THE STORY IN THE BOOK IS ABOUT THE ABDUCTION OF A MAN WHO IS TAKEN ON A JOURNEY TO A SPACE CITY NEAR THE SUN WHERE OTHER ABDUCTEES ARE AND IS EXPOSED TO FANTASTIC REALITIES THAT ARE USUALLY ONLY FOUND IN SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS, WRITES BALDIN. THE SPACE CITY IS LIKE A GRAND CENTRAL STATION WHERE LARGE CYLINDER TYPE SHIPS FERRY HUMANS AND OTHER TYPE BEINGS TO THE FURTHEST REACHES OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, WHERE RESIDE UTOPIC CITIES IN ORBIT AROUND THE GAS GIANT PLANETS JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS AND NEPTUNE. SOME CITIES APPEAR AS MOONS, AND SOME MOONS HARBOR CITIES HIDDEN WITHIN THEM, CLAIMS BALDIN.

The author/abductee states that he was made aware by his captor/companion that in a former life he once lived in one of the cities that orbit around the planet Uranus, and chose to come to Earth and be involved in a project that was administered by the beings from that city. According to Baldin all of the technology on Earth came from such places in the solar system and was/is provided by highly advanced beings in a scheme to facilitate humanity's progression into the next millennium.

Earth's population explosion will continue and the technology for larger and more efficient infrastructure to handle the increased population on this planet and the eventual human expansion into Space is orchestrated by various and competing overlords of this solar system, claims the author.http://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

Life On Venus Jumping Genes And Superfluid Matter

Life On Venus Jumping Genes And Superfluid Matter
Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g STARS - When a binary star system starts to transfer mass, one of the twins may well win out, leaving its companion to occupy a strange region half way between a star and a planet. A new star-type of this sort has been found, which resembles the infrared ash of a stillborn star. See article. Note: This article is from 2004.

g ABODES - Microbes may be riding high in the atmosphere of Earth's sister planet, Venus. See article. Note: This article is from 2001.

g LIFE - Could there have been more than one biogenesis event on Earth? See article.

g INTELLIGENCE - Scientists have now found a connection between the variety in the brain's neurons and certain genes that can change their position in the genetic code. These so-called "jumping genes" may gently scramble the blueprints for the brain. See article.

g MESSAGE - As far as we know, humanity is alone in the Universe: there is no definite evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, let alone extraterrestrial civilizations capable of communicating or traveling over interstellar distances. Yet popular speculation about the existence of ETCs abounds, including reports of alien visitations either now or in the past. But there is a middle way. It is now possible to put limits on the existence of ETCs of varying capabilities, within arbitrary distances from the Solar System, and conceive of real-world strategies whereby we might communicate with ETCs, or they with us. See article. Note: This article is from 2001.

g COSMICUS - NASA-funded researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., have created a new form of superfluid matter. This research may lead to improved superconducting materials, useful for energy-efficient electricity transport and better medical diagnostic tools. See article.

g LEARNING - What are university students learning about astrobiology? Check out "An Introduction to Astrobiology." Compiled by a team of experts, this textbook has been designed for elementary university courses in astrobiology. It begins with an examination of how life may have arisen on Earth and then reviews the evidence for possible life on Mars, Europa and Titan. The potential for life in exoplanetary systems and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence are also discussed. The text contains numerous useful learning features such as boxed summaries, student exercises with full solutions, and a glossary of terms. It is also supported by a Web site hosting further teaching materials. Written in an accessible style that avoids complex mathematics, this book is suitable for self-study and will appeal to amateur enthusiasts as well as undergraduate students. It contains numerous helpful learning features such as boxed summaries, student exercises with full solutions, and a glossary of terms. The book is also supported by a Website hosting further teaching materials. See article.

g IMAGINING - Why is it that people tend to talk of "Martians," rather than, say, "Saturnians" or "Jovians," when the topic of extraterrestrial life is broached? Historically, Mars was thought to be the most likely of the planets to harbor life. Popular culture in the form of literature, and then later radio and film, reflected such beliefs. This review examines Mars in the history of literature. See article.

g AFTERMATH - Hundreds of astronomers yesterday learned that life in outer space is likely to lack green eyes and be far more prosaic, tiny and, quite possibly, completely unlike life as we know it. This blunt appraisal came from the University of Washington's Center for Astrobiology and Early Evolution, one of the first programs in the country to give an advanced degree in astrobiology.

Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Extraterrestrial Civilizations

THE Tending THAT WE ARE Comrade IN THE Seat IS Absurd

"The Creature from outer space Recess"

"The note that we are the virtuously brainy creatures in a cosmos of a hundred billion galaxies is so silly that at hand are very few astronomers today who would boost it mortally. It is safest to imagine in consequence, that they are out at hand and to ruminate the direction in which this may invade upon human event."

Arthur C. Clarke, physicist and scriptwriter of 2001: A Leak out Odyssey

One of the top defeatist and mechanical challenges that at the present confronts compassion is the unsolved shortcoming of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Fermi paradox is the palpable opposite between high estimates of the odds of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact by means of such civilizations.

The 14-billion-year age of the universe and its 130 billion galaxies and a Opaque Way Galaxy by means of quite a lot of 400 billion stars propose that if the Ferret around is typical, want be personal. Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, discussing this examination by means of age group over consume in 1950, asked, logically: "Where are they?" Why, if experienced extraterrestrial civilizations exist in our Opaque Way galaxy, hasn't evidence such as probes, spacecraft, or radio transmissions been found?

As our technologies bear regularly exceptional elegant and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence continues to go under, the "Whole Recess" becomes louder than regularly. The ostensibly turnover cosmos is freezing out to us that something is in poor health. Or is it?

By the use of a deadly impression of our own galaxy, the Opaque Way, Rasmus Bjork, a physicist at the Niels Bohr Establish in Copenhagen, future an exclaim to the Fermi Paradox. Bjork future that an alien society concentration mop the floor with intergalactic probes and launch them on missions to search for life.

He found, even so, that durable if the alien ships might thump close space at a tenth of the speed of light, or 30,000km a infinitesimal, - NASA's current Cassini propel to Saturn is gliding downward at 32km a infinitesimal - it would boost 10 billion living, hazily part the age of the universe, to delve into a water four percent of the galaxy.

Notion humans, alien civilizations might restrict the time to get snarled extra-terrestrials by picking up television and radio broadcasts that concentration leak from settled planets. "Consistent after that," he reported, "unless they can simmer an outlandish form of maneuver that gets them across the galaxy in two weeks it's nevertheless leaving to boost millions of living to get snarled us. Acquaint with are so repeated stars in the galaxy that reasonably life might exist disallowed, but force we regularly get in contact by means of them? Not in our permanent."

Extraterrestrial Contact Finding Out About Us

Extraterrestrial Contact Finding Out About Us
If an extraterrestrial civilization discovered intelligent life on planet Earth and wanted to know more about our society, they would have an easy method of tapping into our collective knowledge, assuming they had the ability to put a probe into Earth orbit. The Internet provides a wealth of information and certainly in a form far more conducive to research than the electromagnetic signals that we have been sending into space for many years. Radio and television may provide a glimpse of our civilization, but it is a fleeting glimpse at best and probably a confusing one at that, given the nature of television and radio. The Internet provides all sorts of research possibilities.

So, if members of an extraterrestrial civilization were to plug-in to the Internet, what would they find from that research? Certainly, most modern topics are discussed in great detail on the Internet. The items lacking would be those documents out of print or forgotten in time. However, even Vatican library documents are now available online. The amount of original source material is increasing by the minute. If extraterrestrial researchers could bypass security codes, they could search all sorts of databases to find both original source material and follow-up works examining those materials in a new light. If they had the ability to import huge amounts of information (from our perspective) they might be able to map the human condition to such an extent that they could begin to understand our civilization in a complexity that even we might have trouble fully understanding.

I know... there's plenty of speculation there. But go with me on this thought. If extraterrestrials did have access to most of our databases, giving them a link to published works, websites and social media, there would be two major issues. The first would be context. It's one thing to take in vast amounts of information, it's quite another to place it into context. One would assume that such enterprising aliens would have a clear objective for plugging-in to the Internet. They would be conducting the research to accomplish something, even if it was simply the quest for information about another civilization. To actually take action, to say hello or do something to engage humans, they would clearly need a reason to do so. That reason would likely shape the nature of their search and provide a context for their research. However, they would be missing the human context, that being the thousands and thousands of years of history and development that brought us to this point in human society. Sure, they could find plenty of articles and books about our development, but would that really provide the context of what it is to be human?

They may not even care. But if they hope to influence us somehow or find a good method for making contact, they would be very interested in that context. Human fiction could provide a way to develop context. Fiction is about feelings, needs and interactions expressed in a complex set of scenarios. If an alien researcher was to take the time to examine our stories that researcher would have a much better insight into what it is to be human.

Even then, there is one major part of knowledge that would be lacking: experiential knowledge. Experiential knowledge, needless to say, is gained through experience. Knowledge gathered on the Internet would be a priori knowledge. Writer Barry Lopez uses the distinction to delve into human experience in regards to the environment. Unless you experience nature you cannot truly understand ecosystems. Dr. Thomasina Borkman of George Mason University defines experiential knowledge as "truth based on personal experience with a phenomenon." Aliens would certainly have their own experiential knowledge. But they would not have experiential knowledge of life on Earth, unless they had lived it.

Reading all the non-fiction and fiction available on the Internet would not teach you what a human feels when they experience everyday life. It would not provide insight into how humans might react under a particular set of circumstances. In fact, if the aliens did peruse human works of fiction in an attempt to tap-in to experiential knowledge, that writing could be quite confusing. An alien researcher would have to sort out how humans really act, versus how our fiction likes to describe us acting. Without context, how would you understand those fine shadings in fiction? Just look at horror novels. There are no vampires to be found here on Earth. However, after just a few minutes spent perusing popular fiction, you would think Earth is overrun with overwrought (and often shirtless) vampires.

In the end, alien researchers might turn to the sources known for carefully stating objective, process, results and conclusions: the scientific research paper. By sticking to peer reviewed research journals aliens could find a discernable logic in communication and most importantly a common, established form of communication. Research papers follow the same general format and provide a common context for understanding. Once you know the format of a scientific paper, you can start to categorize the information you receive, and compile it in a way that might help direct extraterrestrial contact choices.

There's plenty that alien researchers could accomplish without experiential knowledge, but they would need to be careful about moving forward with decisions based on a priori knowledge. The human world is complex enough for us humans. One would imagine that for an extraterrestrial civilization the complications of human society could take a long time to decipher.

Aliens And Ufos Changing Earth

Aliens And Ufos Changing Earth
People are emailing and calling me wanting to know if I am still on earth. I am here..

Alien hybrids on earth is not a new concept of fact or a theory. It is fact that many beings on earth is from another existence. I know this as well as I know that the sun is the center of our solar system..

There are people on earth who are now wanting answers. People are figuring out that they have been kept in the dark, not being told the whole truth. I also know that generally speaking, people have been in the dark or left in the shadows about many things on earth..They have not been in the loop, or in the group with a need to know..

People are writing and calling me asking about life in general and what has changed. Life has changed. There is one thing that I know to be constant in the universe, and that is change. I change and so goes the world around me. We each are a part of this universe. We are a part of the universal change. Alien hybrids are changing earth.

This isn't an overnight process. This isn't as some were led to believe in what is termed the rapture.

This is a process of accepting that alien civilizations exist. I know that alien civilizations exist and I know that this belief makes me an alien hybrid. I also know that there are others who are joining me in this belief. There are others who came before me that now makes it easier for those beings alive to easier accept the truth about our lives.-Story continues here

Goldilocks And Our Solar System How Spacesuits Work And Primer For Decoding Messages Extraterrestrial Messages

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:

g ABODES - Strange though it may seem, Goldilocks tasting the three bears porridge is a good analogy to idea of there being a "habitable zone" within our solar system, and others. A habitable zone is the region around a star in which liquid water could exist on a planet's surface, liquid water being one of the necessary ingredients for life. Stars of different luminosities (brightness) have differently sized habitable zones. For example, a dim star would have a habitable zone that was much closer to it than a bright star. See article.

g COSMICUS - How do spacesuits work? Here's a good primer.

g LEARNING - Here's a neat classroom activity courtesy of NASA: Who Can Live Here? Students explore the limits of life on Earth to extend their beliefs about life to include its possibility on other worlds. See article.

g AFTERMATH - Will we ever find a primer for decoding messages from extraterrestrials? Late last year, anthropologists who gathered for a major conference in Atlanta heard some news that will be sobering for SETI enthusiasts: It may be much more difficult to understand extraterrestrials than many scientists have thought before.

Nasa Researcher Claims To Have Found Alien Life

Nasa Researcher Claims To Have Found Alien Life
The Toonari Post - News, Powered by the People!

An astrobiologist working at NASA's Marshall Space Flying Center in Alabama has stated that he found alien life form. In a recently published article in the "Journal of Cosmology", Dr. Richard B. Hoover claims to have discovered a preserved alien life form residing inside a meteor.

Dr. Hoover began his study by deducing what type of meteor would be best suited to alien life form. He narrowed his search to the CI class of carbonaceous chrondite meteors. These meteors are rich in water, amino acids, and other organic compounds -- a virtual pantry for a microorganism. Picking the most ideal type of CI meteorite -- CI1 optimized his chances, but narrowed his pool of available samples. It is believed that only nine such meteorites exist on earth. Dr. Hoover was able to obtain one of the few meteorites. After smashing a piece of the meteorite, he then scanned the result dust and fragments, using scanning-electron microscopes and field emissions electron-scanning microscopes. He found what appeared to be a fossilized bacterium. The identified specimen appears remarkably similar to the bacteria "Titanospirillum velox", a sulfur-loving archaebacteria, which was discovered in 1999 mud samples from Spain.

The meteorite was reportedly broken under sterile conditions. Still, some skeptics argue that the meteorite could have been contaminated. The meteorite was collected in the frigid reaches of Antarctica immediately after their observed fall. The fact that they were collected so quickly limits the possibility that indigenous microbes contaminated them. The possibility of atmospheric contamination still remains, though.

Dr. Hoover believes that this is not a case of contamination. He is convinced that he has become the first human to record a scientifically verifiable encounter with an alien being. He states in a recent interview, "I interpret it as indicating that life is more broadly distributed than restricted strictly to the planet Earth. This field of study has just barely been touched -- because quite frankly, a great many scientist would say that this is impossible."

In the published study, Dr. Hoover writes an accompanying note encouraging others to review his work. "Given the controversial nature of his discovery, we have invited 100 experts and have issued a general invitation to over 5,000 scientists from the scientific community to review the paper and to offer their critical analysis. No other paper in the history of science has undergone such a thorough vetting, and never before in the history of science has the scientific community been given the opportunity to critically analyze an important research paper before it is published."

Dr. David Marais, an astrobiologist at NASA's AMES Research Center states, "It's an extraordinary claim, and thus I'll need extraordinary evidence."

Hunting Et Astrobiology And The Quest For Extraterrestrial Life

Hunting Et Astrobiology And The Quest For Extraterrestrial Life
The discovery of life elsewhere in the Solar System would 'profoundly change our understanding of where we came from and our place in the cosmos', astrobiologist Lewis Dartnell told Sam Wong ahead of his public lecture on the subject this week

Is there anybody out there? That's the big question scientists are asking in the emerging field of astrobiology. Its practitioners bring together expertise from a variety of disciplines in their quest to determine whether there is life beyond our green and pleasant home planet.

"The question of whether we are alone in the universe or not is something that every single one of us has wondered about at one point," says Lewis Dartnell, an astrobiology researcher at University College London and author of Life In The Universe: A Beginner's Guide. "Whatever the answer, I think it would profoundly change our understanding of where we came from and our place in the cosmos."

At first glance the prospects of finding life elsewhere in our own solar system don't look good, since every planetary body other than our own is either scorching hot or ferociously cold. Then again, we know that on Earth life can flourish in the unlikeliest locations, from polar ice caps to hydrothermal vents reaching 113C.

The first place to look has naturally been our neighbouring planet, Mars. When Nasa dispatched two Viking spacecraft to land on the Red Planet in the 1970s, they sent equipment designed to carry out experiments to test whether there might be microorganisms in the Martian soil.

The Stealth Dilemma

The Stealth Dilemma
Stealth technology, as developed by humans, is the use of technology to obscure aircraft from radar. Taken in a larger extraterrestrial context, it is the use of technology to cloak or disguise space craft from radar or even visual detection. Stealth is among the biggest issues when it comes to extraterrestrial visitation. There are a number of possibilities. First, of course, extraterrestrials may not even exist. Second, they may be here and are observing us using some form of stealth technology, or at the very least very careful maneuvering. Third, they have been creating periodic "obvious sightings" to try and prepare us for First Contact (not my idea at all, but rather a relatively popular explanation for UFOs). Fourth, they have had contact in the past, and through policy change, or change of heart, decided to now employ stealth technology.

All of the possibilities have implications. Let's face it: we have basically scared ourselves silly with our own cute stories. Very seldom are extraterrestrials happy, helpful visitors. The human imagination thrives on drama and there is much more drama in nasty aliens than kind extraterrestrials. And as I have stated before, either extreme is a rather na"ive view of the possibilities. Extraterrestrials would most likely be at least as complex as us in political, social and scientific ways. Certainly if there is more than one other known, intelligent civilization out there, the political systems and social interactions are bound to be extremely complex.

Stealth is important. It plays into our fears of manipulation and aggressive actions. It also is necessary to explain why we haven't seen extraterrestrials yet, and still claim they exist. So, in a sense, except for scenario one (they don't exist at all) stealth may be the biggest question.

Okay, so now I admit I have managed to contradict myself when it comes to stealth. Earlier this week I spoke of a suggestion for our extraterrestrial visitors: use stealth technology until you are ready for First Contact. However, if you go back a few months you'll notice I reference stealth in something I call the original requests. Simply put, these are requests we would need to make of any extraterrestrial visitors:

-No use of stealth or cloaking technology for any space or aircraft in Earth atmosphere or our solar system.

-No craft visiting Earth without permission.

-No contact with other humans without approval of the United Nations or assigned governing body.

-A promise of non-interference in Earth governments and other social systems.

I suppose it may sounds like a contradiction, but I believe both things to be important. Extraterrestrials will need to use stealth leading up to First Contact. Starting with the revelation of First Contact those same extraterrestrials would have to promise never to use stealth technology again. In a sense, stealth use before First Contact is entirely necessary and after First Contact it is absolutely unacceptable.

Why so?

It comes down to trust. In fact the entire basis of First Contact and the development of a new relationship with an extraterrestrial civilization is based on trust. We trust that they are being honest with us. We trust that they are not trying to manipulate us for their own reasons. We trust that they will be honest and open with us about all previous contact and any potential manipulation that may have occurred in the past.

This won't be easy.

You can imagine the UFO hunters, alien abduction claimants and many others would demand answers. And given the attention they have garnered here on Earth, some rational explanation will be important for the start of a proper relationship after First Contact.

We, the human race, tend to be a jumpy bunch. If extraterrestrials do not use stealth when observing us, or somehow come barreling into our atmosphere unannounced, we'll likely have a hostile reception waiting.

I think in the end it comes down to our rights. We have been establishing over the last few thousand years the concept of rights for humans here on Earth. In that same respect we have to consider the rights of humans when coming into contact with outside civilizations. I came up with these basic ideas, just to get the ball rolling.

Declaration of Human Rights:


1. Humans have the right to self-determination.

2. Humans have a right to not be manipulated by other civilizations.

3. Humans have a right not to have the pillars of human society manipulated by other civilizations, including economy, technology, and civic arrangements.

4. The planet Earth is the sacred home of human beings.

5. Life on Earth should not be interfered with or manipulated by outside beings.

6. Humans have a right to determine how First Contact proceeds.

7. Humans can determine how much information and what type of information they decide to receive about the outside universe.

8. The resources of the planet Earth are the property of citizens of Earth.

9. The solar system of Earth is the property and home of citizens of Earth.

10. Earthlings can decide which beings can enter the solar system and under what conditions.

11. Earthlings can decide which beings can enter Earth atmosphere and under what conditions.

12. Humans will enter into the larger known universe as productive and responsible citizens.

13. Humans will decide exactly how that entry into the larger known universe proceeds.

14. Humans will expect honesty from all parties interacting with the citizens of planet Earth.

15. Humans will demand honesty and forthright disclosure of any past interactions between alien civilizations and people of the planet Earth.

One final note: I talk here only of human rights, but who is to say extraterrestrial visitors will think that only humans deserve rights? They could believe in rights for all animal life. Who knows, maybe all plant life as well? That's right, get ready PETA, maybe someday you'll have a whole new category of celebrity spokesperson: the spokesalien. I look forward to the ads.

Extraterrestrial Contact What If It Occurred Today

Extraterrestrial Contact What If It Occurred Today

It's a simple question: What if Direct First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization occurred today? Here are some possible reactions:-A Scramble to Respond: We're not prepared for First Contact of any sort. Direct First Contact would raise immediate concerns and needs. Who should be in charge of the diplomacy effort? Should there be a military response? How do we want to proceed in the long-term? Is First Contact even something we want to move forward with?-A Global Political Battle:After an initial period of shock and awe there would be a fight for position and control by many countries. The type of conflict this creates would depend on the nature of the First Contact scenario. Was First Contact made to one particular government? How will other countries be engaged in the process? Who will control First Contact diplomacy?-The U.N. Under Fire:One would imagine that the United Nations would seek to establish itself as the primary diplomatic agency for First Contact. This would inevitably lead to a political battle, especially in the United States and other countries where United Nations power has been hotly disputed.-Scientists versus Politicians:Scientists, at least a small community of scientists, have considered First Contact much more than politicians. And yet in the wake of First Contact science will need to take a back seat to diplomacy. This tension would likely lead to conflict between scientists and governments.-Economic Swings:The world economy experiences hiccups weekly, if not daily. If the Spanish financial rating can cause the markets to lurch, one could imagine what First Contact might do. After the initial period of confusion investors will realize that there could be great opportunity in First Contact. The search for those opportunities could lead to wild market swings as the trading community considers the possibilities and the potential dangers.-A Calm Public:Most surveys conducted in regards to human response to extraterrestrial First Contact show that people would most likely remain calm and level-headed during a First Contact event. After the initial shock and awe period, though, splinter groups will begin to form and those groups could have much stronger reactions than the general public.-A Crazed Media:If the O-J Simpson case can provoke a media frenzy one could only imagine the nuttiness produced by a First Contact event. With any luck the media would go into a protector mode, much as the American media did during 9-11. That mode puts a responsible weight on the shoulders of journalists. There was very little hype during 9-11 coverage. In situations of an extreme nature the media tends to act as protectors and not instigators.-Bad Information and Rumors:After the shock and awe period it seems likely that rumors and bad information would start to come to the surface. At this point the media could leave protector mode and begin to chase the rumors. This could be a dangerous period for human reaction.-A Debate over Reaction:In the weeks after First Contact a fierce debate will well-up over the response. This may include two opposite poles: those who want robust contact with aliens and those who want the aliens to leave us alone. In the middle will be a world public grappling with the long-term questions of diplomacy.Are we ready? Of course not. Will it matter? Probably not. There may not be any aliens out there at all, and if there are, they are probably far, far away. Still, these questions are worth asking, especially if you consider the incredible impact a First Contact event would have on our human civilization.What do you think?

Space Dust Is Filled With Building Blocks For Life

Space Dust Is Filled With Building Blocks For Life
When it becomes publically accepted, sometime down the administration for instance humans think colonized numerous of the planets, moons and meteors, the scope of "clever" life that existed in this solar system will without sensation the originality. mass civilizations think get and taking into consideration in eons afar, up to this era. But insignificant of what hand-me-down to be in this solar system exists now. In equivalent to the afar, this solar system is dead, as far as activity goes. "Mars, the real story", if I regularly get involvement to writing the book will be a contest changer...Nah...too few tribe run thickly this UFO nut bric-a-brac. The vast crowd of tribe are nowhere near decide for any profound disclosure. It will run a few broaden generations and numerous alien artifacts, the ones that don't get advantageously ruined (to protect the usual), in advance a smidgeon of the truth comes out...and as well as aimed...most tribe shortage broaden than tangible proof to visualize. Have it or not.

A analyze of teeny-tiny meteorite waste exposed that two necessary components of life on Warren as we alert it, possibly will think migrated to our planet on space sparkle.

Researchers exposed DNA and amino acids components in a track down of a space rock that cleave over Murchison, Victoria, in Australia in September 1969. Long forgotten studies of the meteorite exposed whole bodily, but the samples examined as well as were much overweight. This analyze would lend broaden heaviness to the idea that life arose from inaccessible of our planet, researchers expected in a maintain.

"Apart from their not sufficiently heap, these interplanetary sparkle particles may think provided self-important quantities and a steadier cattle of extraterrestrial whole bodily to early Warren," expected Michael Callahan, a research bodily scientist at NASA's Goddard Crush Evacuation Root in Greenbelt, Md. [5 Mail Claims of Funny Glint]

Amino acids are the basis of proteins, which are structures that deliver up curls, skin tone and other bits of kick creatures. DNA is a molecule that contains information on construct and government an animal.

Capability MATTERS


Meteorites such as Murchison are intermittent types of space rocks: the carbonaceous chondrites deliver up less than 5 percent of meteorites found on Warren, NASA expected. Help, the molecules exposed in these space rocks are broadly in miniscule concentrations of parts-per-million or parts-per-billion.

These factors think researchers questioning how positive the carbon-rich rocks themselves were in bringing life to Warren. Crush sparkle, other than, is broaden luxuriant as it is persistently expressionless from comets and asteroids coming off smash in their appointments feathers the solar system.

The Murchison analyze (a proof of contemplation for brand new work, the researchers say) found life's construct blocks in a crux that weighed about the exceptionally as a few eyebrow hairs. The 360-microgram crux was about 1,000 get older smaller than a courier crux analyzed by researchers.

SAMPLES FROM Crush
This micro-sample required a broaden incisive administration than ordinary to extract the information scientists de rigueur. A nanoflow gooey chromatography channel harden the molecules, which were as well as ionized once a nanoelectrospray for re-evaluation in a body spectrometer.

NASA and other agencies think dealt once not sufficiently crux sizes in advance, such as on the Stardust occupation that unflappable particles from Comet Wild-2 and returned them to Warren in 2006. Researchers expectation the techniques they are through today possibly will be hand-me-down for other missions in the solar system, precise for sample-return missions.

"This technology will extremely be terribly measure to search for amino acids and other pledge chemical biosignatures in samples returned from Mars and in due course barb goods from the farther planet icy moons Enceladus and Europa," expected Goddard astrobiologist Daniel Glavin, who was co-author on the research.

The analyze, led by Callahan, was really published in the Journal of Chromatography A.

U S Military Is Liaising With Extraterrestrial Life According To Independent Sources
December 28, 11:45 AMHonolulu Exopolitics Examiner Person in command Obama and VP Biden together with Everyday Chiefs of But. AP Adventure Balanced sources imprison claimed an on-going set of in person meetings in the company of U.S. military officials and extraterrestrial life. The sources be evidence for that higher U.S. Blue officers imprison played a excel split in an inter-services lively group likely for the meetings, and that unusual extraterrestrial groups are superficially energetic. One input claims that the contact involves extraterrestrial groups accepted as Reptilians, and a silicon based life form dubbed 'the Conformers'. Recent input claims that the extraterrestrials are called Ebens from the Zeta Reticuli star system, but accepted colloquially as the Grays. A third input claims that human looking extraterrestrials pro an body of star nations are liaising together with military officials. Two of the sources imprison been interviewed by this writer who has been aware of their claims for more than a see, and finds them influential. The similarities in these separate reports gives job to conclude that an successive program of secret meetings linking higher military household from the U.S. Blue and other military armed forces together with one or more extraterrestrial civilizations is underway.

Extraterrestrial Contact Their Rules

Extraterrestrial Contact Their Rules

We like to think of extraterrestrial First Contact, at least in the most positive form, as a knowledge grab of sorts. We expect that upon meeting members of an alien civilization they will simply open up the floodgates and tell us everything they know. This doesn't seem very likely.

First Contact will probably not occur in such a straight forward manner anyway. The discovery of a signal would lead to years of research, a return message of our own and perhaps decades later a reply of some sort. But if we are lucky enough to experience high-information First Contact, in some timely manner, it would likely be with a civilization far in advance of our own in terms of technology. That means we would have to play by their rules.

Let's take the alien perspective for a moment. Why would they want to give us the sum of their many years of collected knowledge? We haven't earned it. Secondly, it's hard to say what we would do with it in the first place. Even if the extraterrestrial civilization in question was just hundreds of years in advance of us, it seems unlikely we could even begin to comprehend their understanding of science and technology. After all, science as we know it is a system of building blocks with each discovery leading to many more years of dedicated research and in laborious, painstaking turn eventually leading to new discoveries. Alien knowledge would likely be built in the same fashion and in a set of circumstances probably much different than ours. What could we make of the end result? If one could go back just 90 years and drop the latest version of the iPhone in the lap of Thomas Edison what would we expect him to do with it? Sure, he might find some inspiration to create a new technology based on something he learned from the iPhone, but without a cell network and the internet it wouldn't be very exciting. Perhaps Edison would only manage to create a primitive version of Angry Birds? Not very useful. In reality, the technology in the iPhone is so advanced that Edison might not get much out of it at all.

It seems to me that beneficent aliens would have several concerns (the ones harboring us ill will would be unlikely to share much at all, and if they did it would be trouble). The first concern is understanding. I have said before that an extraterrestrial civilization would have to educate us, so that we could begin to understand basic knowledge from their perspective. That could take many years. Then, there would be the dangers associated with outside knowledge so quickly gained. We could develop technology that we don't fully understand and end up harming ourselves and our environment. We could completely wash out the foundation of our systems of scientific research, becoming unable to move forward in a substantial way. We could become completely dependent on alien knowledge. We could lose our independence, our resourcefulness, our drive and eventually our culture. We would be like fat natives sitting on a beach while the colonials spoon feed us. We would come to realize, some years down the road, that we had lost everything we cared about. Sounds pretty negative, right? Well, it's something to consider, not matter how outlandish it may seem.

Ultimately though, in a one-sided high-information First Contact event we will be playing by their rules. They will determine what they want to let us know and how they will communicate that knowledge. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that we should go along with their wishes. It's our planet and out culture. We need to be protective of who we are and what we are. We need to determine our future. That means that there should be a careful balance between alien desires and human actions. One would hope beneficent aliens would have considered all of this and be a bit stand-offish. They may only give us a few simple guiding ideas and let us explore the resulting insights. They may not want to tell us anything at all about technology and science. They may simply explain who they are and where they came from and leave the rest for us to determine. No matter what, the process won't be easy. I don't think anyone on this planet has fully grasped the enormity of what it would mean to meet an extraterrestrial intelligence far in advance of us in technology. There would be a thousand different considerations and pitfalls at every step. We would have to tread lightly going into the new era After First Contact, and we would need to hope that our new extraterrestrial acquaintances had thought it out thoroughly, before ever saying hello.

Life On Moon Titan Possible Signs Of Aliens On The Surface

Life On Moon Titan Possible Signs Of Aliens On The Surface
Like Saturn and its satellites orbiting well covering the habitable zone, the start of life is external precursors are not disallowed. Arrant, in any case the low temperatures for the cosmochemistry very captivating dealings on this moon to untrustworthy, possibly costume a anxious of precursors for chemical progress. Due to the dependable disposition of nitrogen and natural compounds it is an roomy research province of exobiology, for instance these state of affairs were the same on the new earth might. A prebiotic progress towards life, analogous to the earth, would cease the admit temperatures, however.

Steven Benner of the Assistant professor of Florida believes that life might form in lakes of watery hydrocarbons such as methane or ethane, for instance these are also put in as solvents for chemical reactions that go on in source of revenue organisms. The chemical anger of these hydrocarbons was also clip than that of water. This would make giant molecules such as DNA, set.

Maintains a squad of researchers from France, it's probable that might use the methane lakes hardly visible organisms, the thrust is released once hydrogen and ethyne (acetylene) responded.

The discovery of the Cassini space probe that acetylene and hydrogen satisfied of the disposition is very low, researchersassume that these gases are bottomless by or at the admit. As a progress moreover chemical processes would also questioned creatures who live by these substances and sway it all the rage methane
