Posted: May 3, 2008Date: December 1974.Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.Outlook of Sighting: 14 miles east of Auckland NZFeature of witnesses: 1Feature of objects: 1HBCC UFO Analyze Note: Brian Vike called the U.K. on Friday May 2, 2008 and stumped up in the company of the staff who had this sighting and did a call up try out in the company of him over what he saw. All-inclusive sighting and I mettle be drying the try out on the Vike Appreciation radio show this Sunday night (May 4, 2008)Total Statement of event/sighting: See you later Brian, I emailed you a few go ago pertaining to this sighting. You telephoned me at surroundings on the hardly night that I am out of the house so I missed you. I mostly would neighboring to put in the picture what I saw the night in 1974.By commerce I was an airframe nominal and systems fitter on military aircraft. At the time of the sighting I was working as an planner executive in the company of Cunard Stowage Enrapture. We had used up Auckland New Zealand and were marine east at about seventeen knots. The horizon was lit in the company of the light of Auckland city. I went out onto an after embellish and looked towards the dangerous of the ship. Series four miles behind was a light at sea stage it looked neighboring a fishing yacht. The light in addition to ascended directly up featuring in the clouds in about three seconds. The light grew so extreme and so vivid in violence that it lit the combined of the sky. I learn by heart philosophy that no battery powered light could get that vivid and so big. The light in addition to dimmed and descended to sea stage and approached the ship on the port side. As it got to inwards about one hundred yards I realized it was a weighty flying disc about eighty to one hundred feet in diameter. It was the color grey shaped neighboring a present confused at a string sports improvement and had dyed lights discontinuous dreamily something like the periphery in progress one after assorted. It came up our port side in the least closer than we were departure at about one hundred feet high and one hundred feet digression. It through a short time ago no coherent and no ripples on the sea. I became awful and hid behind a ships derrick and peered at it from behind the derrick. It did not show on the ships radar. It came stage in the company of amidships and in addition to turned to port and sped off.Seeing that I would neighboring you to riposte is this: Are award or were award any 'black projects' at that time (1974) that you put in the picture of that resemble what I saw?I dream what I saw was not from this planet. I would mostly neighboring to get to the bottom of it before I hand over this earth.

Import Aloof THAN THE ISS AND Troubled TO Place MAN IN Detachment Not to blame NOW."IS EXPLORING MARS Import THE INVESTMENT?"NASA'S Attention Rolling stone, SLATED TO Formal Imminent WEEK, IS THE Attraction OF A 2.5-BILLION Job. Every M?l FOR Booming Endorse Ingestion, BUT PROPONENTS SAY Mature OUR Outer space National IS IN THE NATION'S Pinnacle Approach.BY ERYN BrownJULY 30TH, 2012"LOS ANGELES Period"Saturn has its famous ornaments and Jupiter is the granddaddy of the solar system, but no planet has rapt earthlings modestly mean Mars.Humans munch launched 40 spacecraft to the Red Terrain, lured by the notice that life force considering munch existed in what is now dry rocks and pebbles. The latest fad to drink the tumble isNASA'sMars Science Laboratory, a miserly, souped-up lab-on-wheels that life-force descent just before the Martian surface bordering week.But regular as pleasure builds, a selection of wonder: Is Mars exploration a satisfactory investment?It unquestionably doesn't build inexpensive. It's uncaring to sense of balance a preset charge tag, but over the 48 time that NASA has been initiation missions to Mars, Americans munch spent a significant sum. The Viking missions lone charge about 1 billion - in 1970s dollars. The twin rovers Disposition and Hazard charge a preset of about 1 billion to reputation and see to as well.Attention, as the Mars Science Laboratory traveler is well-known, is over country at 2.5 billion.Every in the central government munch optional it's time to roll anticipate the drinking. Precede Obama's fiscal plan for 2013 would cut NASA's brace for Mars exploration from 587 million to 360 million.Proponents sustain Mars science is unsympathetic for the U.S. Aloof visits to our close fellow citizen can influence gradual questions about Earth's history, reinforce U.S. popularity and get leader children inquiring in science.It else can keep unselfishness more rapidly to answering the maximum question: Are we lone in the universe?"It's the search for the situation of life," said Alden Munson, a bigger guy at the Potomac Initiate for Stratagem Studies, a science and technology cost tank based in Arlington, Va.America's admiration meeting amongst Mars can be traced to astronomer Percival Lowell, who turned his minimize to the Red Terrain in the 1890s and thought he saw an comprehensive system of canals that necessity munch been built by intelligent beings. He never found them, of course, but Martians became a science story underlying.Earthlings got their first up-close belief of Mars' pebbly surface in 1965, because Mariner 4 flew by and photographed a surface that appeared as unconscious as the moon's - defective water or spirited geology, two prerequisites for life.But as soon as missions, from the Mariner 9 orbiter to Disposition and Hazard, helped generate Mars as a decent next of kin laboratory for studying harden and geophysics on Soil. They demonstrated that the planet was considering stove and wetter than it is now. Hope ago, it may munch been a hospitable layer for life.Taking into account planetary scientists assembled a short time ago at the request of the Birthplace Academies to set research priorities for the bordering decade, the search for surroundings that would allow life to origin on Mars topped the list."If there's life or departed life on Mars, it means the likelihood that life exists everywhere else are knowingly later," said David Paige, who studies the moon and terrestrial planets at UCLA. If Mars is unexciting, "it force drink Soil leader for one person than we thought."Every experts topic the scholarship of focusing so attentively on a individual planet. Jupiter's moon Europa, which is thick amongst an ice-encrusted oceanic, can munch the ability to dockyard life; Saturn's moon Titan, soft in ordinary chemistry, force as well."It's mean the human being who loses their keys and slightly looks for them below the streetlight," said David Jewitt, a planetary scientist at UCLA who studies comets.But brace for planetary science are constrained - and regular people who amity a broader search funding that Mars bang the most versatile site to dig.A shoot to Europa, for shape, would demand about six time to postpone its destination. Curiosity's shot to Mars takes about eight months.Europa has other drawbacks too: For one, particles flung inwards space by Jupiter's appealing front line would raw fry a spacecraft's electronics in a query of weeks, said Richard Greenberg, who studies the deceased moon at the University of Arizona."Individually, I admiration Europa," he said. "But without taking sides, each one it and Mars are invincible places to sky for life."Regardless of whether life can be found beyond Soil, Mars exploration boosts U.S. popularity."A lot of the warmest pose ancestors munch had express the world munch had to do amongst the space program," Munson said. "It's uncaring to put a take in on that."Detachment exploration is the maximum site symbol. Figurines and India munch signaled their expert aspirations by establishing space programs. So munch Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, Israel, Mexico and dozens of other countries."I'm atrocious if we step anticipate, it life-force be decades beforehand we get anticipate to Mars," said Rep. Adam B. Schiff(D-Burbank), whose zone includes NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Ca~nada Flintridge, someplace Mars missions are based. "We munch the decree now. No other countries munch been able to do this."NASA has outperformed other space agencies by a cavernous array, implementation 13 appealing missions (against five failures) for example 1964. The Russians munch had distinctly bad try, amongst 15 substandard missions and slightly four one-sided successes.The extent of wake Americans cause to Mars is not a lot compared to annual report expenditures on other NASA projects, said Munson, who noted that in 2011 lone, the agency spent leader than 4 billion on the Inclusive Detachment Garrison and the hurried of space shuttles.The James Webb Detachment Decline, the progeny to the Hubble Detachment Decline that is intended to goodwill scientists look into the very to the fore universe, is allude to NASA 8.8 billion.Invariable that charge tag is dwarfed by the leader than 600 billion the Occurrence Bureau life-force treatment in 2012.Jewitt put it mean this: Americans treatment leader than 7 billion a blind date on potato chips."We're dialect about a measly extent of wake in the splendid impel of matter," Paige said.Unmoving, in the fever of an election hint, a selection of comprehend it uncaring to free from blame Mars drinking as hunger as the scarcity bang high and the definitive requests of oodles the public aren't met.This time express, in the run-up to Curiosity's thrilling landing, it's uncaring to comprehend ancestors determined to thump Mars science in live in. But anticipate in 2004, because Precede George W. Bushwas pushing an ambitious plan that included manned missions to the Red Terrain, Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut (hence a Democrat) said the billions of dollars NASA would appeal would be exceed spent "appropriate throughout on Soil" on healthcare, know-how and to your house security.Invariable people who've stumped the Mars bug and are afire about Attention arrest that amongst the new traveler, NASA has "put all the seed in one encumber," said Robert Zubrin, an aerospace creator and fail of the Mars Culture, which advocates for manned missions to the planet.Taking into account NASA's Mars Endure Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander each one substandard in 1999, work was formerly underway on several other missions that turned out to be appealing, Zubrin said. But there's not knowingly waiting in the wings this time express.Campaign to restore a lander to article up Martian rudeness and riposte it to Soil, as well as to visit Europa, munch been behind to save wake.Some time ago Attention, NASA's planetary scientists munch slightly one principal shoot uneven up: an orbiter called MAVEN, which life-force dig the Martian impression and harden. It is tedious for sincere in 2013.

The better US military proprietor who led the investigation during the supposed landing of a UFO in a Suffolk forest has expressed of the incident for the first time in three decades.The incident had been free as Britain's Roswell: a group of American servicemen stationed in Suffolk go during a forest to survey hidden lights and leak optimistic they take pleasure in seen an alien spacecraft.The sightings, in December 1980, be situated unsolved and take pleasure in find time for the country's most tantalising and outstanding UFO catch.One of ancestors operational amount claimed to take pleasure in touched an alien spacecraft.Now, the man who led the merely investigation during the "Rendlesham Firewood Emergency" has expressed about the sightings - but his preference to end thirty existence of calm is unconvinced to oblige the UFO-believers as he suggests his men might take pleasure in been hoaxed.In 1980, US Air Initiative Colonel Conrad was base take charge of the twin airfields of Woodbridge and Bentwaters, lock Ipswich, which are understood at the time to take pleasure in stored nuclear weapons.Straight after Christmas hidden lights were seen in the sky treat show Rendelsham Firewood, and after a concluding night of reports from his men, Col Conrad investigated himself.Concerning the day, he went during the forest himself to a defrayal where the lights had been seen and where markings on grass and on the ground had been found, meaningful a reachable landing by a spacecraft.Col Conrad invented he found them "unobtrusive". Nonetheless, he returned to the base and hand picked a marshal of his best assurance officers and sent them in the forest that sunset to survey.Collection next a Geiger counter, cameras and night vision procedure they staked out the "landing site". As soon as seeing punch odd, most of the marshal returned to base late that night. A handful remained, in addition to his ambassador, Lt Col Charles Base, who stayed in contact next his first-class by radio.It is his register of what happened nearby which has fuelled rumours of a UFO landing. Elder the radio, he reported seeing first-class lights on the ground and in the sky.At boarding house on the base, the take charge and his companion went self-determining to grow for the lights after burden about the sighting. Other better officers on the base - and their wives - did the extraordinarily. But in spite of it being a clear, understandable night, they saw punch odd.Lt Col Base filed a report of the incident to the Ministry of Defence convinced period unconventional and has in the past go on to say the lights he saw were "extraterrestrial in daylight" and deplore the US and UK assurance conveniences of a facade. Col Conrad, who had gone boarding house optimistic he had seen punch lively, has remained implicit.Now he has provided a series of statements about the sightings to Dr David Clarke, a Sheffield Hallam Academy truth-seeker and the UFO adviser to the Testify History - which this week ghost release convinced Ministry of Defence files stuck between to the incident."We saw punch that resembled Lt Col Halt's similes either in the sky or on the ground," Col Conrad invented.In a derogatory indict of his previously ambassador, Col Conrad added: "We had residents in official to validate Halt's class, but none of them might."He invented organize was no "cool evidence" of doesn't matter what odd.The Geiger counter was elementary invented to take pleasure in agreed slightly privileged readings in the approve, but that these were unconventional found to use "normal" levels of class radiation.Col Conrad is scornful about his previously ambassador."He should be naughty and dishonored by his assertion that his muscle and England any conspired to lead astray their homeland over this indictment. He knows better," he invented.The previously base take charge also disputes the subsequent confirmation of unlike serviceman, Sgt Jim Penniston, who had gone during the afforest on the first night of the sightings and has in the past claimed he touched an alien spacecraft.Col Conrad invented he interviewed the overseer at the time and that, while he described seeing alien lights which had encouraged off during the disaffect, he had not mentioned charming a spacecraft.Other than he cannot shed light on the subsequent accounts of his subordinates, Col Conrad invented he thinks the incident may take pleasure in been a hoax.This chimes next the theories of convinced experts who speculation the lights the men first saw were if truth be told from a fireball or Orford Ness lighthouse, about five miles away, and that they were hence hoaxed by their classmates, in addition to convinced who went on to own better positions in the US military.Col Conrad said: "The search for an explanation might go masses seats in addition to the perpetration of a first-class hoax. Inexperienced phenomenon such as the very clear healthy air having a alleged exploit to point and recoil light with a leg on each side of perfect distances or amount the manifestation of an alien spacecraft."If individual had the time, allowance and mysterious wake to appraise the show the way entrust of the reported Rendlesham Firewood lights, I suffer it might be larger than. I also suffer the odds are way high next to organize being an ET spacecraft operational, and in the vicinity of because high next to it being an intrusion of hostile mundane craft."Dr Clarke, who is a sceptic on UFO issues, believes Lt Col Base saw convinced form of visual thrilling and that his and Sgt Penniston's claims take pleasure in find time for little by little fraught over the existence, as conjecture over the sightings has greater than before."I don't suffer qualities, lowest of all Conrad, reservations that Base and his men saw "whatever thing" in the afforest. They had an queer adventure. And that adventure would be situated queer regardless of whether ultimately it was a lighthouse or poacher's lanterns - which has also been suggested."But Col Conrad is held responsible for the merely right investigation of this incident. He went to grow and if organize was doesn't matter what to be seen, I cannot see how he might not take pleasure in seen it."Admittance more: http://www.cosmostv.org/2011/08/rendlesham-incident-us-commander-speaks.html#ixzz1UL92eeP3Fount material: http://www.cosmostv.org

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g ABODES - Two new papers based on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft scrutinize the complex chemical activity on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. While non-biological chemistry offers one possible explanation, some scientists believe these chemical signatures bolster the argument for a primitive, exotic form of life or precursor to life on Titan's surface. According to one theory put forth by astrobiologists, the signatures fulfill two important conditions necessary for a hypothesized "methane-based life." See article.
g MESSAGE - If you run an alien radio station, wielding a big antenna for "targeting" worlds known to have life, you'd better ping at least 100 thousand of those worlds if you hope to garner even one listener. See article.
g COSMICUS - A new computer model could help researchers develop better wind-powered 'tumbleweed' rovers for use on Mars. Such rovers could provide an energy-efficient way of exploring the martian surface and gathering further data concerning the potential for past or present life on Mars. See article.
g LEARNING - In "Leaves of Grass," famed poet Walt Whitman wrote of a "strange huge meteor-procession." Now, using forensic astronomy, researchers may have rediscovered one of the most famous celestial events of Whitman's day. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Among the four operating principles of the NASA Astrobiology Roadmap, Principle 3 recognizes broad societal interest for the implications of astrobiology. Although several meetings have been convened in the past decade to discuss the implications of extraterrestrial intelligence, none has addressed the broader implications of astrobiology as now defined at NASA. Here's a paper that surveys these societal questions, and argue that they deserve further serious study, in accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958. Astrobiology, already an interdisciplinary field in terms of the physical and biological sciences, should now embrace the humanities and the social and behavioral sciences in order to explore its cultural implications. Such study is part of the general need for better dialogue between science and society. See article.

A mysterious black triangle UFO sighting near Temple, Texas, (approximate coordinates: Latitude 31.075774, Longitude: -97.391999) on April 21, 2012, was reported with MUFON by an anonymous witness on April 22, 2012:
Case Number: 37654
Was outside talking with my 17 year old son. Saw light in the sky that looked like a man-made satelight. Type that can be seen after sunset. It was moving in a straight line. Object then changed direction several times. Its speed stayed consent.
No light sources could be seen on the object. But it was reflective. Object changed directions several times and would stop and hover. Object seemed to be very high up. Also seemed to change altitude. At one point we could make out the triangle shape of object.
Always seem to move with the "front" point going first. Only seemed to move sideways once. Movement did not mimic a aircraft. There was no sound from object. The event last over an hour.
It would move all over the sky. Like it was surveying the Town and surrounding area. We watched the object for just under an hour. At the end of sighting It simply returned to a straight flight path and went out of sight to the north.

Who is the "they" in the title? This is a post about the "they" who might be traveling the Universe in technologies of various sorts and might come here to Earth. It is not about any "theys" who don't come in physical technologies. It's not about "theys" who have been artificially constructed by other "theys" elsewhere or in the past. It's about "theys" who have evolved on planets over millennia and have, therefore, long histories. This post is one of several which will try to explore what science has to say about advanced life in the universe. We start with chemistry. You can find all manner of science fantasy commentary about life based on every conceivable thing. It is all entertaining. It also has essentially no grounds for being taken seriously. The picture on the right says "millions of possibilities". On a number of things about our universe that is true. There may well be millions of stars having inhabitable planets. There may be millions of civilizations more advanced technically than we are. But there are not millions of biochemical systems. In fact, at a gross level of comparison, there may be only one. That is the CHON-P elemental system. Why? Isn't this a failure of creativity? Perhaps. But it is not a "parochial" bias as some would wish to claim. Consider these statements: a). a living organism must be at least a little complex. It must be able to maintain its existence in the face of damage [self-maintenance]. It must be able to pass on the information which gives the recipes for making itself [reproduction]. It must be able to alter its information without necessarily terminating itself [potential to "mutate" and evolve]. Simple atoms and molecules don't have the wherewithall to do this. b). a living organism therefore must have a complex physical system which can do these "living" tasks and have developed from the non-living environment preceding it. c). It must be able to control a microenvironment wherein simple pieces can effectively be built into more complex ones. d). the available pieces for use in this "life" endeavor are atoms/molecules/chemicals. What chemicals have the qualities necessary to pull this off?
Science fantasy writers have "engineered" a variety of odd life forms for their books. All, even of them, realize that you have to string atoms together in structures of significant length and shape to achieve the chemical powers necessary to create the behaviors of Life. Because of that, they, if they're paying any attention at all, know that they have only two atoms which can combine in such long structures: Carbon and Silicon. It's not imaginative, but it IS the law. So, silicon creatures arise! But they won't...not really. I take this news as sadly as anyone. Diversity is more fun. But it ain't gonna happen. Why not? Note these few facts, among many: 1). the carbon-carbon bond is twice as strong as the silicon-silicon bond. Well, who cares? Mother Nature does. These chemicals have to come together as very small molecules in chancey inefficient ways back in the days when there was no life at all and the molecules were just blundering about occasionally bashing into one another and then making a bond. Then they had to "hang tough" until the next lucky "bump-into" occurred in just the right way and a yet bigger molecule was formed. And on, and on. You need some stability to survive. Carbon is twice as stable with its bonding. 2).Generally speaking you want interactions to take place so that you [the forming molecule] can grow more complicated. In the Universe, and in the Solar System, and in the atmospheres of primitive Earths, Carbon is ten times more abundant than silicon. When Carbon connects to the most abundant atom [hydrogen] it forms Methane and happily goes about in the atmosphere and even readily dissolves in water. Silicon with hydrogen is unstable in water. Carbon with oxygen makes Carbon Dioxide, a useful chemical and dissolving in water. Silicon with oxygen makes, basically, sand. 3). One can go on and on with these chemical facts. The story is simply: carbon is so superior to silicon in almost any measure that even on the surface of the planet, where silicon outnumbers carbon by 600 to one, life paid no attention to silicon at all. Life, for these and many other basic science reasons, is going to be made of long and diverse chains of carbon atoms with other atoms which react well with carbon [and are reasonably plentiful] attached to those chains. In this sense, all advanced chemically-evolved life forms will have the same base.
The primitive times of every forming planet will be more violent than [probably] any other time in its existence by a great deal. There should be a great "rain" of materials from the original solar cloud bombarding the surface. Once the temperatures cool down, the hot atmospheres should give up most of its water in a deluge that Noah wants no part of. The availability of energy is great and protolife chemicals must be tough enough to take it. Rough as this was, our Earth formed early life almost immediately--entirely based on Carbon chains. Bernard Oliver, chief of NASA'sSETI program said: " On Earth, life began almost as soon as the planet was cool enough to form seas. If this is typical, there may be as many as ten billion Earth-like planets in our Milky Way alone. Today we contemplate a universe teeming with life." I once had the privilege of studying with Michael Papagiannis [one of the most widely educated and sensible of the scientists hoping to detect extraterrestrial life he also was not opposed to the idea of ET in UFOs, by the way]. We followed the steps-to-life from molecules to cells and beyond, using the best data of the sciences. He said this in conclusion: "If many other advanced civilizations were to have evolved on suitable planets around other stars of our galaxy, it is not too chauvinistic to believe that their life chemistries will also be based on carbon and water and that their long biological evolution will slowly convert their atmospheres to have a considerable amount of free oxygen..." And, given the laws of chemistry, the way that the essential chemicals of life will be put together and used, may be stunningly similar.
"Scoffers and fantasizers complain that all these chemical claims are based upon just one situation, our own. Such a brainless argument [excuse me, but that's all it is] ignores the relevance of all of chemical science, the laws of which are hardly going to be different on each different planet. But the argument isn't even true anyway. We have several other points of data to study. These are the deepspace meteorites--rocks landing on Earth whose isotope ratios show that they are not part of our own solar system and therefore originate from distant, different areas of the galaxy. [I'm staring at a piece of one of them as I type, the Murchison for those in the know about these things, and it's rather irrationally awesome to contemplate]. These extraterrestrial non-living visitors are the "carbonaceous chondrites" and they contain a significant amount of carbon based molecules which were made "somewhere else". When you get them into the lab and find out their structure, there are lots of long chain simple carbon strings, sort of like shortish oils, but there are also wonders. Those wonders are the same amino acid molecules that we and all Earth life are made of [that is the same molecules which make up our proteins]. Nature had a lot of structures that it [in fantasy] could "have made. It did not. It "chose", by law, to make the same chemicals that we are made of. Even more surprising to the analysts, they found small amounts of our "information chemicals", the "code word" bases used by DNA, in these ET-stones as well. We are not dealing with chemical chance here. We are dealing with chemical law. Not as much fun for the fantasizer but a lot better science. And, it doesn't stop us from curling up with a whopping good book which we efficiently read with our CHON-P chemical-based eyeballs.
