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 - Climate change that occurred some 720 million years ago is providing scientists with insight into what can happen when the Earth's carbon cycle is altered. The research could help astrobiologists understand the history of Earth's climate and processes that could shape the future of life on our planet. See article.
g LIFE - AWednesday article in a British tabloid carried the headline "NASA: Evidence of Life on Mars," leaving scientists from the space agency wondering if there's intelligent life in the Sun. See article.
g LEARNING - Hostile aliens or legitimate subject of study? That's one of the questions being raised about all manner of unexplained space phenomena, as debate about extraterrestrial life and UFOs has been sighted in more mainstream venues over the last few weeks. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Here's an intriguing paper published just last month and translated from German for Astrosociology.com: "Futurological Reflections on the Confrontation of Mankind with an Extraterrestrial Civilization".

The new Ancient Aliens Episode - Aliens, Plagues and Epidemics:I would like to remind everyone that viruses are used in genetic engineering to change DNA.. so this could not be too far off the mark:
Scientists are continually challenged by unidentified strains of bacteria with mysterious origins. Could some of our most crippling plagues and epidemics be traced to the darkest voids of space--or even extraterrestrial intervention? During the Black Death of the Middle Ages, people reported bronze flying ships emitting a strange mist. As recently as 2011, NASA scientist Richard Hoover published evidence of life in meteorites. Is it possible that ancient aliens--as small as microbes--have shaped human history?

Although many alien believers had declared they made their contacts with the extraterrestrials, scientists are now geared to make their own contact with the alien beings.Human beings could make a contact with aliens or extraterrestrials by the year 2005, as predicted by two American astronomers - Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett in their book, Cosmic Company.Shostak, a senior astronomer at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI) in Mountain View, California, said their book "is an explication of why think they're out there, how we're looking for them, what they must be like, and a little bit of what it might mean" to find life on other planets.Shostak and co-author Alexandra Barnett, an astronomer and executive director of the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California, base their predictions on a number of factors, such as the billions of years in which extra-terrestrial life could have evolved, and the abundance of planets and stars elsewhere in the universe that are likely to mimic environmental conditions.The National Geographic quoted Barnett, "it's a matter of statistics, really, depending on who you talk to, the universe is 12 to 15 billion years old. Humans have only been around for 40,000 years. We really are the new kids on the block. It would just be too tough a pill to swallow to believe that nothing else has evolved in all that time and space."In 1924, astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that there are galaxies beyond our own. "More that a half century later, the Hubble telescope has shown that there are at least 100 billion such galaxies," Shostak said.It is believed that our galaxy, the Milky Way is home to at least 100 billion stars. There is undetermined number of planets. Since 1995, when the first Jupiter-sized planet outside of our solar system was found, astronomers have been able to identify about 100 more planets, all of them around 300 times more massive than Earth.Shostak hypothesized that there is a growing realization that there may be some other biology in our solar system. "There are deep oceans on the moons of Jupiter, and some evidence that Mars in its early days really should have had some life. So if there are two or maybe even three instances in this solar system alone, where life could have emerged, it's not unreasonable to consider that similar situations arose in other solar systems." Shostak added.In an effort to make contact with extraterrestrials, the astronomers brashly admit that search for intelligent life has been somewhat hampered by inadequate technology, and contact could only be realized thru radio signals across space.That's the only method, scientists and astronomers know at the moment to make a contact, but there are other individuals especially those claimed to have been abducted by aliens and established a contact, fervently declared that aliens are already here among us, and their dimension is now intermingled with the physical world.The reason why man normally can't see these aliens because they have etheric bodies that vibrates in an unseen dimension. Only those who have clairvoyant abilities could see them with their physical and mind's eye.But to those who wish to see these aliens before believing they really exist, abductees and contacts said "someday aliens would reveal themselves physically - man to alien, alien to man."
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 - Astronomers have revealed new details about the HAT-P-7 planetary system. The study includes the discovery of a companion star and the confirmation of a new giant planet that orbits outside of the retrograde planet HAT-P-7b. See article.
g COSMICUS - Commercial asteroid hunters are planning to send a fleet of asteroid-prospecting spacecraft to hunt for resources to accelerate space development to benefit Earth. See article.
g AFTERMATH - The scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence is accelerating its pace and adopting fresh strategies. This increases the likelihood of successful detection in the near future. Humanity's first contact with alien intelligence will trigger extraordinary attention from the media, from government authorities, and from the general public. By improving our readiness for contact, especially for security during the first 30 days, we can avoid the most negative scenarios - and also enhance humanity's benefits from this first contact with an alien intelligence. Six potential problem areas include communicating with the media and the public, communicating with scientific colleagues, government control, an assassin or saboteur, well-meaning officials and lawsuits. See article.
