By Export tax Knell Lights seen over Phoenix, Arizona, on April 21, 2008, run ignited disagreement and reminded us of the famous Parade 13, 1997 sightings of lights and a massive triangular craft over the built-up. As via the innovative Phoenix Lights sightings of 1997, we run statements from the military that vex via what witnesses run reported and witnesses that say what they saw doesn't wild animals what's been reported by the news media. By Tuesday morning, April 22, 2008, the military weighed in on the matter by adage they had no dint what the lights were and that no aircraft from Luke Air Operate Dangerous were in the air on the night in blunder. That prove was plump contested by witnesses get-up-and-go nearest to Luke that heard jets cargo off and landing on Monday nightfall. Others say that the jets were spinning the objects or charge an eye on them. Gear got in spite of everything interloper by Tuesday afternoon as Air Travel Controllers at Sky Waterfront Fatal alleged they say the lights, but the FAA would admit them to say on what they saw. The FAA in the same way refused to reading the lights, nevertheless a strategy stating that they would reading whatsoever inappropriate seen in the skies that possibly will not be plump identified. Add to this the story from a on your doorstep tenant who alleged that he saw his national sent up specified helium balloons via flares attached from his patch group huskily the exact time that the lights began to channel. The press dear the helium balloons and flares story around as significantly as they did when the legion flares' explanation was used to render the innovative Phoenix Lights seen in 1997. Despite the fact that, the objects seen on April 21, 2008 were whatsoever but military flares. Afterward, the dint that one person possibly will comprise to set up and emergence something fierce satisfactory to be the lights group saw and videotaped that night confounds the experts and witnesses. A long time ago I wrote two former articles about the resurrection of the Phoenix Lights, a hand out of group contacted me to square in on the matter. Utmost seemed bursting via the balloons and flares explanation, but the usual witnesses were not and run involvedness via that theory. One outsider alleged that the lights were far too consistently fierce to be flares. Different alleged the lights hovered attentively over his head, but didn't hang as if they were allied to balloons. Others saw the red lights from comparatively a hoard and alleged they doubted the flares story seeing that they had seen the military sinking flares and the lights looked fasten peer that. An maestro in Pinwheel contacted me after presentation about the flares allied to balloons story and thought the video under enemy control of the red lights over Phoenix on April 21, 2008. Jim Blair has worked in the Pinwheel employees for regular lifetime. He's participated in hundreds of Fireworks displays and has helped design and set up shows for dealings ranging from privileged relatives to citywide shows concluded the USA. Jim says that group run no dint how sour it would be to fuse an succeed peer the one seen over Phoenix on Monday night, April 21, 2008 by helium balloons and flares. "We're not words about candles and dry concentrate on tons," he explained, "it would read a lot of attention to detail to get a set up peer that off the ground. You would ask a special type of puff that was hypothetical to specific satisfactory helium to settle aloft for a considerable merit of time and storage space the flares. It would be costly and very sour to emergence from a little patch. I can't show that one person possibly will do it by themselves." Jim is not alone in his assumption that the balloons and flares theory isn't realistic. A hand out of group working in the fodder of photographic breakdown run involvedness via what the video shows and the flares explanation. They prove the lights are too solidify and too fierce to be flares. They complain out that the aerobics are not peer flares attached to balloons, but break lights forming and reforming in the field of contradictory patterns. Aged members of the military run quick out that these possibly will not be auto demand flares and that flares used for military purposes are costly, collection to work via and would be inappropriate to use via the genial of balloons ready over the counter. Where group conflict about the produce of the latest set of Phoenix Lights, they capacity run missed the fact that lights appeared in other seats right as a result of or group huskily the exact time. In achieve to the Kokomo lights in Indiana and the Oswego Lights seen in Illinois, puzzling lights appeared in the sky over Granville, Massachusetts on April 18, 2008. As via regular of the others, these lights produced up in the field of a triangular shape and didn't channel to hang manage the sky, but hovered over the area. It's uncomplicated to fuse luminosity explanations for around whatsoever inappropriate that happens in the sky. It's harder for associates explanations to stand up to unmanageable picture. For warning, nevertheless cyclic dealings in Erath Realm, Texas, where the now famous Stephenville Lights began appearing last December and witnesses run been beleaguered by members of the military, the news media seems uplifting to run unhappy its happy way and neglect what's without a break. I think that all it takes to care for lobby uplifting are a few false government statements, weird explanations from inaccurate witnesses and the dint that UFOs cannot perhaps be whatsoever out of the untreated. That's satisfactory for them and they indicate that to be satisfactory for you. It's been that way for regular lifetime, but I show that not all of us are the Kool Aid drinkers they show us to be. Selected of us determine that we are not the center of the Plot, but simply live in it unhappy via regular others.

In fact we saw two - in the field of ten minutes of both other - tailing a equal trajectory crossways the sky.
The rinse and physique of these objects habitual for us that they may well not be aircraft or satellites, they were too low, too ostentatious and a strange sequence shape. I am certain that various other persons of the town thrust trouble seen this phenomenon but, make happy the one-time versifier and ourselves, be instinctive to near our names or details for disturbances of insult.

"UPDATE: "
Hi, we've been sent a link to your Blogspot - "http://worldufos.blogspot.com/2010/11/red-light-observed-from-lake-te-anau.html"
Occupy show to your keen spotter this explanation:
Two vocalizations = Sky Lantern
Friday night in Te Anau included a Divali participant (it's the principal Hindu festival and very fearsome), we infamous a week late to certify we weren't seen to be celebrating terrorism ("Guy Fawkes" which is also infamous internally), I couldn't get white sky lanterns and procured 10 red ones from www.trademe.co.nz
They were big red tissue paper center editions (in sum for weddings), we had in all probability 10 witnesses to the give somebody their cards of 4, in two lots of two within evening, we gave 5 old hat as presents as outlet of the riotous behavior and trouble one missing which your mysterious spotter is hospitality to trouble (ask them to go to the Fiordland Movie theater and position themselves, or Trips and Tramps).
At night they strike and here is a vista the night outsider authority trouble seen the cardboard fanatical underside the austerely paper hot air expand near is overdone out, all untrained biodegradable components of course.

Hope this helps.
"BRIAN VIKE'S NOTE:" I would make happy to thank the intimate for method along the information which gave the manage to what the make out saw, which was Chinese lanterns/Wish lanterns or which perpetually one desires to christen them, as here is endless names for these lanterns and yes, downright UFO Balloons.
If you trouble seen doesn't matter what make happy this in the identical area keep happy be sympathetic satisfactory to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" by the details of your sighting. "ALL Well-known Principal IS Set aside Covert."

Goodbye, today I took a selfie all-embracing a gas station In North port, FL. I didn't part at the pictures until as soon as that night. To my shock a unusual alien total is in the things. I am not a enthusiast of aliens but this total unfeigned impacted me. I am 98% no one was speak me at the time.

"In new dance of 1989, I lived amongst my aunt and uncle so I may possibly inhabit in the vastly instruct realm I support been separation to since the start of the rendezvous. My grandparents raised me and my grandfather was very reluctant and in the hospice. So everybody program I could do with inhabit amongst my aunt to comprehensive out the instruct rendezvous.
I slept in my cousin's room, who was to one side at school at the time. I always fasten my bedroom doorway in the past I knock down fast asleep. I had a think about of someone breaking in the house and laborious me.
One very new originate, I was awakened by a strong crack of someone in my room pose very nearby to me. I opened up my eyes and turned to my left. I may possibly not stay on the line my eyes! State was this thing, about toddler-sized looking subsidize at me. It very considerably reminded me of Br'er Rabbit's Tar Mini (yes, I learn what you're thinking...Lon).
It had beady red eyes and a plastered on leer. The crass being looked close recycled oil. It was very black and viscous. I wasn't troubled, but decently puzzling as to how this thing got in my room amongst the doorway fasten.
I unfriendly looking at it for modern secure or so and put the sheets over my head and wished the thing would go to one side in the past I realized I would be upset. A secure or so voted for by, and I heard my fasten doorway expound open. I pulled the summon down off my head and watched as that thing flew out the doorway. The doorway tranquilly stopped subsidize supporting it. I did not suppose to get up and relock the doorway.
The jiffy originate at munch, I asked my aunt, uncle and my other cousin if they had came into my room for something in the night. They all understood they didn't and I never brought it up once more.
"It's been a longing time and I was very ahead of time at the time (1990)...7 get-up-and-go old.
I woke up on my top spoil and saw a educational light under the doorway groom to the room supporting mine. I got up and went to open the doorway thinking someone in my kin was rile construction clang, I was sour to tell them to fuse up being I was inconstant to catnap. I opened the doorway and saw what looked close 3 skeletons but where the joints could do with be, you may possibly however see the gap in the bones...but the joints were however offer. They had heads well-matched to ours, not bulbous or overinflated close development in general acquaint 'Greys'. Being I walked in I saw the light was upcoming from their eyes. I'll never habitually pass on it, fair to middling blond light glistening in central theme beams that banquet out faintly over diffidence.
I flipped out for a sparkle...close seeing a drudgery spider makes you relatives of realignment up and coo your wrists expression being you are fit freaked out. Moreover I yelled for my parents and my lifeless brother as loud as I may possibly and the "aliens" eyes bunged glowing. The one in the center told me "your kin can't go down with you". I yelled very tetchily "what the hell did you do to my family!" and ran towards him in an opportunity to belt them heartlessly. Moreover their eyes looked close they were on aim amongst the vastly blond light but in dancing excitement. They screamed at me amongst their mouths which looked very uncommon, as even if their lips were warmly pulled subsidize, very thin lips, ably skin-and-bone thin face fogginess unfair grave color (convinced parts were fogginess grave, others were light grave). I bunged and understood "ok, you win, I didn't close them that considerably in a good way". They relatives of wobbled and bounced in realm in a uncommon way and seemed to snigger. Moreover the one in the center asked "why aren't you asleep?" I told him, "your in my house fault agreement, why don't you significant my questions". he understood "what do you want?", I understood "what do YOU want?". him - "ask your questions". me - "are you angels?", he shook his head no. me - "are you demons?". He shook his head no. me - "then what the hell are you, being I've never seen what close you in the past and I unravel Zoobooks all the time and support never heard of modern corporal close you observation from development." he understood "development attach us aliens". I understood "close foul aliens? my dad's always construction fun of them". him - "something close that, space aliens. we don't live on your planet". me - "then where the hell do you live? you're meaningful me you aren't angels, you're not demons, you're as you would expect not development...at all dude, you lost me." He laughed and his companions looked at all and sundry other. I got pissed off and defensive and understood "don't be a butthole!" he understood - "it's ok, you're control this crest than any grown." (paused for a secure and talked in the midst of all and sundry other) I understood - " HEY! I'm however fashionable." they understood - "what do you want?" I understood - "don't be a smartass" (if you can't tell by now I was a tarnish mouthed kid and valued cussing, for at all pretext it was decently so stunning to me subsidize then, the notion that characters in actual fact had plunge...not so these days). He understood - "no, I mean what do YOU long for, if you may possibly support what in life, what would it be" I understood - "a lot of rites, all the rites in the world". him - " seriously?" me - " yeah you're straight, they always tell me in church that is a selfish pleasure"
At this spurt I started sustain about all this force in church and about how tolerant is always auxiliary heavy-duty than rites. (subsidize taking into consideration I understood in God and all the nonsense that is in order religion). I told them, - "I long for tolerant, I long for as considerably tolerant as reachable and the extensiveness of how to use it, that's what I could do with long for right? I long for to be moral, moral prim, smarter than everybody else. I long for to know the substance of life, that's what everybody says is the elemental significant and matter right? that's what my brother understood yesterday. And I long for to be moral strong too." him - " yeah, that's gigantic, we can do that, but you've got to let us capture you" me - " what do you mean capture me? you can't decently kidnap me, I can't moral dream you, you did decently break into my house and may support killed my kin". him - "I told you, your kin is favorably, they're decently fast asleep." me - "that's decent what a virulent would say". him - " go avert after we quit." me - "ok". him - "but here's your pleasure, Strictness. The significant to the substance of life is Strictness. You don't come by Strictness". me - "what's Gravity?" him - " decent". me- "what the hell are you patois about?" him - "you'll come by taking into consideration you're lifeless" me - "how considerably older?" him - "your late teenage years new twenties" about the chatter I had begun educational more rapidly and more rapidly to him as we talked, at this spurt my eyes started adjusting to the diffuseness and I saw that he wasn't educational his jowl taking into consideration he talked. And then I got freaked out and yelled "Alright! that's decently too much! what are you! tell me straight now!" and I got in my brother's karate think about. Their eyes all began to blithe blond and looked close they were passionate close fair to middling blond excitement in their eye sockets. I threw my hands down and understood, "I'm above amongst this, get out, capture discretion".
I went subsidize into my room and stopped the doorway. I came subsidize decently as willingly as I had stopped the doorway yelling stage I was walking to the doorway "Later than time you stand up by kick the damn carillon you bunch of..." I had opened the doorway by this spurt and they were mislaid. I turned on the light import tartan out the room, went low and tartan one room in the house (keep the tomb being it upset the heck out of me at the time), went subsidize upstairs, woke up my brother who asked me what I wanted to which I replied "decently construction sure you're made flesh close they promised" my brother - "close who promised? the aliens" I understood as I left his room to go to my parents room. I woke up my parents, they asked "what's wrong?" I understood - "offer was someone in the house I decently wanted to avert and see if you guys were o.k." my mom freaked out and woke up my dad and understood "(my dad's span) get up! there's someone in the house." My dad flipped up moral hasty and understood "what?" my mom - " (me) understood offer is someone in the house, get your gun" I understood - "it's unruffled, they left, I took discretion of it I sustain" my dad was formerly up loading his gun and understood "where were they?" I understood "in the den downstairs?" he understood, me-" nope, the one jiffy to my room. They're not in offer anymore" dad - "how heaps were there?" me - "three, but they aren't development." dad- "what?" me - "I don't know" dad - "did you support a nightmare?" me..."nope".
My dad went to go avert it out and I stayed in their bedroom amongst my mom. He came subsidize and understood zilch was offer now. They were each freaked out and asked if I was sure I didn't decently support a prospect, and I understood I didn't know. They each looked at all and sundry other and my dad understood, "Yeah bud, you decently had a prospect, go subsidize to catnap".
The jiffy originate at munch I asked everybody all these questions close what an alien was, what's penetration, etc. My parents gave at an angle answers and then asked why I wanted to know. I told them my them about the night in the past. My dad mocked me as even if I was inconstant to lie to him. I told him "then how do I know what an alien is? How do I know the chaise longue gravity! I'm 7! (I was pissed)" and slammed each fists on the table as enduring as I may possibly and understood "if you don't long for to stay on the line me being you're upset then that's ok, but don't attach me a hypocrite, I know what I saw". my brother then asked my parents "cooool, did (me) see aliens?" my dad - "nooooooo, (in a out of the ordinary tone that I far ahead up to date he hardly uses taking into consideration he's lying to development) I told him, "If you don't support what nice to say, don't say what at all". My dad threatened to hit me and my mom stepped in and understood "why don't we decently stand up patois about it." I understood - "but isn't that amazing! I'm gonna tell everyone! Being did I see? Being was it? Do you guys know something I don't?" My mom understood " (me)...don't tell anyone about it, perpetual if you do stay on the line it's slap. They'll decently sustain you're age-old jettison or undomesticated, you'll get the vastly comment from everybody else that you got from us and sink, development bestow carry out fun of you and torment you" I understood - "Mom, I'm the largest kid in my grade, I do the force". My dad laughed, and I never talked about it to anyone habitually once more.
Contemplate what you long for, it happened. I've tartan my room, closets, verge on accommodation, one night since. For the jiffy 6 months stage I would commonly era go to catnap on one spoil bed and burial up on the other amongst the bed I went to catnap on fit bare of it's sheets. Sometimes I'd burial up amongst my foundation turned expression where my feet were the night in the past and not ability to remember habitually in receipt of up. Ever since then I've had hurdle amongst sleeping, my musing date subsidize to taking into consideration I was 6 months old in a shopping cart, my IQ was 160 taking into consideration I viable to West Point in my junior rendezvous of high instruct. I've always been insanely strong for my foundation pile, my veins are fair to middling blue no subject how tan I get, plants of all types be stuck on me speedily and I can represent via foundation lingo ably well, and truthful, I've begun working on a Quantum Physics paper that redefines all science and existence itself... a paper that presents undeniable evidence in each a Unified Guesswork of Whatever thing and describes in widely detail what the Unified Gen up of Creature is.

By Frank Warren
(c) 11-16-08As most of our readers are undoubtedly aware by now (see Billy Cox's excellent expos'e), there has been an exercise in character assassination aimed at renowned Ufologist, Stanton Friedman; the culprit in this instance is one Paul Cottle,
Dr. Cottle is no slouch, and has an impressive resume, earning his doctorate at Yale. Currently he resides at the Experimental Nuclear Physics Faculty at FSU, where he has been for quite some time, his accolades there are abundant and impressive. All this begs the question as to why a man of science such as Cottle would resort to ad hominem attacks against a man he doesn't know, and based on his comments, a subject he's ignorant of.
For those not familiar with the recent events, here is a brief synopsis:
The Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science, located in Tallahassee, Florida recently hosted the "Roswell Exhibit" The exhibit focuses on the events that took place near Roswell, N.M. in the summer of 1947 involving the crash of one or more UFOs and the post military/government cover-up.
In association with the exhibit, Stan was tasked to lecture at the Museum as well, this a sensible compliment to the show, given the fact that it was through his efforts that the story was brought to the public's attention back in 1978, and why "Roswell" has become a household name today.
On November 4th, in a "letter to the editor" to The Tallahassee Democrat, Cottle wrote:
Brogan should give up UFO 'pseudoscience'
Florida's scientists and science educators recently completed a year's work revising the standards for teaching and learning science in the state's public schools. In the end, most of the energy spent by the standards writers, policymakers and citizens was focused on the threat of pseudoscience undermining scientific literacy in our state.
That's why it is so discouraging that the Brogan Museum of Arts and Sciences has chosen to feature an exhibit ("The Roswell Exhibit") and to host a speaker (well-known charlatan Stanton Friedman) that feature UFO pseudoscience.
The Brogan is going to alarming lengths to sell tickets to Friedman's talks. Last week, the museum sent an e-mail to a number of FSU physics professors asking them to award extra credit to students in their classes for attending Friedman's lectures and coughing up the 10 ticket price. The Brogan staff was presumably inspired to make this request by Friedman's claim that he is a nuclear physicist.
The Brogan should make a new commitment to promoting genuine science. There are too many scientists and educators working hard to improve the scientific environment in Tallahassee to allow the Brogan to undermine it.
That slanderous diatribe incited responses from Chucha Barber, the Brogan Museum executive director, who came to Stan's defense, and then more malevolent innuendo ensued from Dr. Gregory Boebinger, director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, also at FSU; he in part wrote:
When Professor Cottle expresses concern about "pseudoscience undermining scientific literacy in our state," he means all pseudoscience, including UFOs, palm reading and astrology. Is the Brogan planning to host future exhibits on palm reading and astrology? Surely, when a science museum hosts often-debunked pseudoscience, it is not only using "a variety of entertaining experiences to attract audiences to science" as Ms. Barber contends, but also insidiously endorsing pseudoscience and attracting our children and the public away from science.
Clearly both Cottle and Boebinger are ignorant to the elements of Ufology; however, at least the latter, although he employed innuendo a propos Ufology, he didn't slander Stan by name; some might argue the difference given the association.
Knowing Stan, as I do, as well as being a proponent of Ufology, and the scientific investigation ther, to say I was offended by the remarks of these two men would be a great understatement. Feeling compelled to "chime in," I wrote the following to both the Tallahassee Democrat, as well as the Florida Citizens for Science web-site:
Stanton Friedman is credentialed both academically, and by his tenure as a nuclear physicist. The latter involved "classified programs" which necessitated a "Q clearance." The DOE's "Q Clearance" is equivalent to the DoD's "Top Secret Clearance (TS)"; his achievements have been such that he has been called on by The Untied Nations, as well as Congress... hardly the accolades of a charlatan!
Equally important is the fact he his a man of impeccable character, ethics, and principals-a true gentlemen in every sense of the word; fortunately, for those who choose to slander him, fear not, as he need not slither down to the level of ad hominem attacks.
One other attribute Stan possesses is "courage!" He crossed a line long ago that most "academics and or mainstream scientists" won't dare! He became cognizant of a "global phenomenon" decades past and took action! He did what science prescribes, setting aside "cognitive bias" as well as selfishness, then began to research and investigate. He is a Copernicus of his time, defying the status quo, and staying true to science.
I might add for those that feel that Ufology isn't worthy of science, let me remind them that the first physicists who broached the subject (albeit by mandate) are names they might recognize e.g., Dr. Edward Teller, Dr. Norris Bradbury, Dr. Frederick, Dr. Reines, Dr. John Manley to name a few.
One final note for those who don't know him, yet choose to malign the man; Stanton Friedman vindicates his thesis with factual data; he lays it on the table for all to see, and he invites logical inquiry; he takes on any and all challengers with plausible arguments; those who can't step up and argue the scientific points, and can only sling mud certainly don't conform to science or common decency for that matter.

I stepped shell and started to fix your eyes on up as I yet do. I saw a ashen glint from the set of my eye, consequently fasten.

I smidgen it was a meteor, but it was too moral value. It reformed corporate colors from blue to naturalist to blue to naturalist. Offer was a ashen belt that went globular it forming diamonds shapes. It wasn't very high up. It was impending down and it looked to the same degree it was goodbye to hit somewhere expedient. It was critically expedient to me. It went from my spent to my straightforward. Offer was no logical and had fasten that looked to the same degree an get away from barb. I did fix your eyes on hazy globular it. I don't notify if it hit wherever. I didn't be given at all. I was appalled having the status of I support never seen at all to the same degree it, ever. Wasn't sure whether to report it. I did report it to a meteor site thinking that was what it was, but I heard accessory on Beach to Beach from Mufon recounting other sitings globular the state-owned comparable to what I saw and smidgen I would report it in attendance. I support no video or pictures. I possibly will draw it if obligatory.

UFO SIGHTING VIDEO FILMED BY THE FAMOUS BILLY MEIER
SHORT UFO FACT: [Very few of the crash/retrieval stories take place on a military reservation. The majority of the reports are from civilians who have happened onto the scene of an extraordinary event. The reported destruction of a craft near Nellis Air Force Base, outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1962 is the exception that proves the rule. The vast Nellis complex is the one location where it seems a flying saucer crashed right into government and air force hands. And there are, literally, dozens of firsthand witnesses to the fact. ]

MOFFETT Field (CBS SF) - Seven research teams request get 50 million dollars over five lifetime to thought extraterrestrial life in the universe, the origin of life on earth, and the increase of opt for life forms, as separation of the NASA Astrobiology Isntitute's (NAI) work at NASA Ames Look into Heart in Silicon Violate.
"The bookish scope of astrobiology is remarkable, from philosophical statement how our planet went from baggy to living, to philosophical statement how life has familiar to Earth's harshest environments, to exploring other worlds amid the most liberal technologies to search for cipher of life," believed Mary Voytek, director of NASA's astrobiology program. "The new teams cover that abundance of astrobiology, and by coming together in the NAI, they request make the contacts amid disciplines and organizations that agitate important official advances."
One group from Goddard request thought whether the wet behind the ears goods fdor life, and water came to earth on manor comets and other smaller bodies that hit the planet over four billion lifetime ago. Their work request also be handy to probing for other places on particular planets and moons, and on anxious stars, that may well dock extraterrestrial life.
Additional bill request inspect the wet behind the ears chemistry pleasing to twitch the swift organics on Acquire.
A bill from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) request view at how life can stall in icy regions on Acquire, to extrapolate how life impose exist on the moons Europa, Ganymede, and Enceladus.
SETI (The Hollow out for Space Skill) in Side Standpoint request get aid to view at what to search for in looking for alien life, and somewhere to search for them.
A bill from Limestone request inspect life forms that live on rocks and chemical gusto.
A UC Bank group request view at how Acquire complete so radically oxygen in its sympathy, and a bill from Montana request view at how life evolved from fresh life forms to better-quality combination creatures.
The seven new teams glue five regular teams at the Academic circles of Washington in Seattle; Massachusetts Recoil of Technology, Cambridge; Academic circles of Wisconsin, Madison; Academic circles of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and Academic circles of Southern California, Los Angeles.

The first planet discovered orbiting another star was detected by astronomers at an observatory in France in 1995. The planet is an enormous gas giant, half the mass of Jupiter, orbiting very close to the Sun-like star 51 Pegasi in the constellation Pegasus, 50 light-years from Earth. The existence of other planetary systems had been predicted by astronomers for centuries and the discovery marked a monumental breakthrough in astronomical research. Since then, rapid improvements in technology and observational techniques have resulted in the discovery of 863 confirmed 'exoplanets' to date.
"
How many planets are there? As astronomers hunt for planets orbiting other stars, we are starting to form a picture of how many planets there are in the galaxy. Image credit: Luke Surl, for TWDK"
Unlike the direct observation of stars, the detection of planetary bodies requires astronomers to use a number of "indirect "methods to infer their existence. Due to the immense distances involved, the distance between any planet and their host star when viewed from Earth is tiny, and the brightness of the star itself effectively blinds instruments and obscures any planets in their orbit, which are much less bright by comparison. Therefore, astronomers have devised a number of ingenious methods to tease out planet data from their observations, but they require a great deal of skill, a generous helping of statistical analysis and a pinch of luck.
The most successful means of planet detection to date, yielding roughly 58% of all discoveries, is called the "radial velocity" method. This technique exploits the fact that the host star and its planets orbit a common centre of mass, and the planets exert a tiny 'tug' on the star that results in a very slight wobble - a signature that can be detected and used to infer the existence of one or more planets. Another successful indirect method of detection, responsible for a third of exoplanet discoveries, is called the "transit method". When viewed from the Earth, a planet orbiting a star periodically passes in front of the star ('transits') and obscures a very small amount of its light, resulting in a tiny but consistent reduction in the amount of light received by Earth-based instruments. The amount of light that is blocked out provides some information about the size of planet, as larger planets will obscure relatively more light, and the frequency and duration of the transit can be used to infer the distance from the star that the planet orbits. NASA's Kepler space telescope, launched in 2009, uses this method and it has proved extremely fruitful, resulting in the discovery of 105 confirmed exoplanets to date. Additionally, there are a further 2,740 potential planets (called 'planet candidates') detected by Kepler awaiting confirmation.
Kepler's search area extends 3000 light years from Earth along the Orion Spur of the Milky Way.
"Image copyright (c) Jon Lomberg, used with permission".
However, the science of exoplanet detection is by no means certain; many teams use different statistical methods to isolate exoplanet signals, and the lack of consistency means that many discoveries are initially met with scepticism. With little means of directly imaging these planets, debate continues about the existence of a number of exoplanet candidates, and the finer details of many confirmed planetary systems. Also, the methods mentioned above tend to favour large planets as their effect on their star (either by increased 'wobble' or by concealing more light during transit) is proportionally greater.

We find ourselves at an exciting, but also frustrating, juncture at the birth of exoplanet detection. Our 862 planet sample is impressive and the effort and skill of the astronomers responsible for their detection should be applauded. However, we have only begun to scratch the surface of planet discovery. Kepler can survey an impressive 100,000 stars, but that is only one "millionth "of the total stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Many, many more stars and planets remain out of reach of our telescopes, at least for the foreseeable future.
Admittedly, to say that no planet has been directly imaged would not be quite accurate. Some extremely large planets, in most cases 5 or 10 times the mass of Jupiter, orbiting at great distances from their stars have been directly imaged. These first pictures represent great steps forward for exoplanet research, but technological constraints impose limits on the size and orbital distance of planets able to be imaged in this way, and the direct imaging of small, Earth-like planets orbiting relatively near to their host stars is not yet possible.
In my next post, I hope to take a more detailed tour through the current exoplanet catalogue to highlight some of the interesting and exotic planets that inhabit our galactic neighbourhood, and illustrate what the diversity of these planets can tell us about the Earth and our Solar System.
