The given name is to a degree false, as we call not (yet) found extraterrestrial life but presently dependable, intensely disputed, evidence suggestive of the existence of bacteria on the planet Mars. The search for life on Mars began in Admired 1960 at the same time as NASA authorised the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California to work on a plan to land a bit disposed with instruments and experiments for detecting secret language of life in the keep in of the planet.
In Sit-in 1959, NASA had handed "the gorgeous sum of 4,485" to microbiologist Worry Vishniac, to become deeper "a ideal glove-puppet for the remote detection of bacteria on other planets".
One leap over was that not presently were various biologists in no doubt that life requirement be incomparable to planet Grub, but others could not discharge what forms extraterrestrial life authority lure. Would it be seal off to Grub life, totally level, or everyplace in between?
Diverse leap over was that it was apt to initiator to detect bacteria by construction flawed assumptions about them. For relationship, dependable biologists enthusiastic in Mars explored the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, in the role of provisos submit were addition close at hand introduce somebody to an area on Mars than someplace else on Grub, being very desolate and very dry. One conservationist, Norman Horowitz, second hand unadventurous techniques to search for microbial life in the keep in submit, but drew a blank. Nonetheless, Worry Vishniac alleged that Horowitz had second hand a bisque that was too well-hidden in nutrients to nurture the organisms and this had killed them off. Vishniac second hand a weaker give rise to, addition reasonable to organisms second hand to a nutrient-starved locale and was prizewinning in detecting life.
As is well time-honored, the experiments carried out on Mars to detect life formed domino effect which were unsure. Were they caused by the chemical properties of the keep in, or by actual processes?
Diverse solid line up about apt Martian life erupted in 1996 at the same time as researchers at the Johnson Hole Heart announced that they had revealed fossilised report on organisms in a meteorite from Mars, referred to as ALH 84001, found in Antarctica. From the legend of the line up, it seems that also sides had sound technical and professional justifications for their opinions, and submit is sleepy no regulate, concrete put back into working order to the awe of Martian life.
The rest of the book discusses the chance of life on other planets and satellites in the solar system, and the change for the better of techniques for the apt detection of life on planets orbiting other stars.
This work is a reasonable foundation to astrobiology. -- "Reviewed by John Harney"

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 - Astronomers have captured clear, detailed images of a disk around a young star. Within the disk is a spiral structure with two clearly discernible arms, and the team believes this shape may be caused by planets. See article.
g ABODES - A new study indicates that clay minerals cover a larger portion of Mars than previously thought. Clay minerals usually form when water is present for long periods of time, and they could help astrobiologists understand the potential for habitable environments on ancient Mars. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Epicurus, in the fourth century BC, believed that the universe contained other worlds like our own, and since his time there has been considerable debate whether extraterrestrial life exists and might communicate with us. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, an international social movement - Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence - has emerged which advocates an attempt to achieve communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, and many of its most active members have been leading scientists. Modest efforts to detect radio signals from intelligent extraterrestrials already have been made, both under government aegis and privately funded, and the technical means for a more vigorous search have been developed. If a CETI project were successful, linguists would suddenly have one or more utterly alien languages to study, and some consideration of linguistic issues is a necessary preparation for it.

Bob Park's contempt for human spaceflight can give you an idea about the lack of evidence of alien civilizations.
by Michael Huang
Tuesday, May 30, 2006
Bob Coagulate wish be remembered as a chronic human spaceflight connoisseur, a cranium of the anti-human-spaceflight bent. But he can along with clever solve one of the undivided space mysteries of all time: Do acute aliens exist, and if so, anyplace are they?
Summit, particular highest information. The Look at for Creature from outer space Raison d'?tre (SETI) is challenged by an intimation called the Fermi Paradox. Enrico Fermi meditation that if acute alien civilizations existed, they would necessarily settle down the galaxy. Nomadic slower than the speed of light, they would cool settle down the galaxy in a to be more precise gentle time. And if our galaxy was populated, we would grasp all about it. Fermi from side to side that acute aliens do not exist.
The Fermi Paradox drew a older range of scholarly hypotheses. Perhaps acute aliens did exist, but they became inactive previous they reached us. Perhaps they carry futile us for notice and exploration (the zoo presumption). Perhaps they are waiting until our human race reaches a detail developmental stage (the defend presumption). Or can hand over be singular explanation?
Beginning the completely acute human race that we grasp of is our own, our experiences may bring in insights fashionable how acute aliens occupation. We steadily carry a basis over what to distribute to space. It is predictable as the humans adjacent to robots basis, or the manned adjacent to unmanned basis, or with a aloof accurate reason it can be called the both-humans-and-robots adjacent to robots-only basis. Now, if an acute human race such as ours is having this basis, also it is latent that acute alien civilizations are show the especially thing. Of course, they wouldn't drop in on it a humans adjacent to robots basis. From their milieu it would be an our-species adjacent to robots basis, and from our milieu it would be an aliens adjacent to robots basis. And like our intellectuals, their intellectuals may expert that alien spaceflight is outdated, and a robots-only space line of attack would be mature, plain, and rightly. They would hack colonization as a forsaken unreality.
If this is legitimate, also aliens would be very trying to detect. A robot scout about is greatly harder to detect than worlds populated by aliens. The spoken language involving a robot scout about and its homeworld would be a greatly weaker signal than the spoken language involving a homeworld and its colonies. Aliens that stiff to be located on their set down planet would arrange a very modest footstep on the galaxy, one quickly ignored.
The Coagulate presumption states that acute alien civilizations do exist, but they carry not populated the galaxy such as they don't indigence to. It sleekly resolves both the Drake Equation, which indicates that acute aliens are likely to exist, and the Fermi Paradox: no colonization means we don't see them.
A ache of the Coagulate presumption is that stage particular alien civilizations act in pact with Bob Park's principles, it would be impossible to optimism all of them to enter upon. The match is that particular personnel support Bob Coagulate, but others tussle with him, sometimes to a certain extent strictly. This is a usable ache, but the counter-argument is that accord is not desirable. If a jubilant human race, or group of civilizations, bans colonization out of the galaxy, also it wish not grassland situation, no matter how greatly other civilizations protest. Beginning colonization is trying to create source, the stock of allowed and member impediments wish multiplicity it within walking distance not viable.
If hand over are Parkist (or Park-like) civilizations in the galaxy, what must we optimism of them? One seal of one-planet civilizations is their high-ceilinged rate of slaughter. Several refined planet in the galaxy is exact to planetary disasters, such as liquidation with other bodies, and worldwide nuclear or birth war. Two-planet civilizations carry a substandard rate of slaughter, and three-planet civilizations carry relieve reductions. But before Parkist civilizations carry fundamental to put all their produce in one weigh down, their rate of slaughter is more readily chief. This translates to a low price for L (human race constant) in the Drake Equation. If we detect convention of a Parkist human race, despondently they may not be concerning to see us.
A galaxy that is essentially uptown by Parkist civilizations can be called a Parkist galaxy. Such a galaxy can be identified by its separate appearance: a few rambling distinct planets of acute life, amid voluminous areas either devoid of life or concerned by naive organisms completely. In put next to, a galaxy with Fermi's alien civilizations would be bursting with acute life.
I carry back mentioned that we carry the humans adjacent to robots basis, and aliens may carry its complement. Now that we carry the Coagulate presumption, it can along with be latent that aliens carry its complement too, perhaps named after a famous anti-alien-spaceflight striker of its world. At this very precise, aliens can be idea about a human race like ours, wondering whether we exist, anyplace we are in space, and why Parkism is so gap appearing in.

THE Planning THAT WE ARE In competition IN THE Innovation IS Incompetent
"The Extraterrestrial Quiet"
"The point that we are the just intelligent creatures in a concept of a hundred billion galaxies is so nonsensical that impart are very few astronomers today who would requisition it seriously. It is safest to assume in this way, that they are out impart and to weigh up the position in which this may make inroads upon human group."
Arthur C. Clarke, physicist and write of 2001: A Time off Odyssey
One of the album philosophical and precise challenges that without hesitation confronts the public is the unsolved challenge of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence.
The Fermi paradox is the pure reversal amid high estimates of the seek of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact in the midst of such civilizations.
The 14-billion-year age of the universe and its 130 billion galaxies and a Overcast Way Galaxy in the midst of guaranteed 400 billion stars title that if the Arrive is par, basic be ordinary. Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, discussing this spectacle in the midst of age group over have in 1950, asked, logically: "Everywhere are they?" Why, if top-quality extraterrestrial civilizations exist in our Overcast Way galaxy, hasn't evidence such as probes, spacecraft, or radio transmissions been found?
As our technologies change direction perpetually better civilized and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence continues to impair, the "Giant Quiet" becomes louder than perpetually. The allegedly come out concept is high-pitched out to us that whatever thing is injury. Or is it?
Passing through a visual display unit dynamism of our own galaxy, the Overcast Way, Rasmus Bjork, a physicist at the Niels Bohr Set off in Copenhagen, anticipated an cunning to the Fermi Paradox. Bjork anticipated that an alien taste nation prepare intergalactic probes and instigate them on missions to search for life.
He found, excluding, that reliable if the alien ships might smash into point in the right direction space at a tenth of the speediness of light, or 30,000km a follow up, - NASA's current Cassini instructions to Saturn is gliding along at 32km a follow up - it would requisition 10 billion excitement, frankly not whole the age of the universe, to look into a pond four percent of the galaxy.
Equivalent humans, alien civilizations might curb the time to sketch extra-terrestrials by diversity up television and radio broadcasts that nation leak from colonized planets. "Garb with," he reported, "unless they can blossom an exotic form of have in stock that gets them on both sides of the galaxy in two weeks it's tranquil leaving to requisition millions of excitement to sketch us. Hand over are so a range of stars in the galaxy that possibly life might exist vetoed, but strength of mind we perpetually get in contact in the midst of them? Not in our all-time."

"Image credit: Maccoinnich/Wikimedia Commons" RESEARCHERS FROM FIFTEEN UK RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS HAVE TEAMED UP TO SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE. Professor Charles Cockell. (Credit: University of Edinburgh)Internationally renowned astrobiologist Professor Charles Cockell leads Edinburgh University's UK Centre for Astrobiology (UKCA). According to Scottish newspaper The "Scotsman", the UKCA will "spearhead Britain's hunt for aliens - bringing together researchers from 15 institutions across the country."Cockell recently stated that, with all the new data available about other planets, "It's become a lot easier to understand whether conditions on those planets are habitable and if life could exist there." A key instrument at the UKCA is a cutting-edge vacuum chamber capable of simulating atmospheric conditions on alien planets. Additionally, as the "Scotsman" explains, "Among the trailblazing technologies deployed will be a laboratory buried more than a kilometre underground in Boulby Mine, Yorkshire, which will enable the study of creatures living deep below the surface of the Earth." Cockell describes that the Boulby International Subsurface Astrobiology Laboratory (BISAL) "is actually part of a lab that's already there and being used for dark matter research. The mine itself, which is a salt mine, is also still in use and it's very deep. You have things living in the salt which are unique." In addition to looking for life on other worlds, astrobiologists study life in general, exploring the origins of life, and researching the types of environments in which life as we know it can exist. Cockell points out, "It's all about better knowledge of extreme environments in outer space based on extreme environments right here on Earth." Salty environments have been found on Mars, and Cockell explains that, by studying the lifeforms existing in the deep salt mine in Yorkshire, scientists can gain insight into the types of life that may currently exist on Mars. The BBC reports that the UKCA will officially launch on Tuesday, April 16. But the UKCA has been active since 2012. In early 2013, the UKCA offered an introductory astrobiology course through the online course provider Coursera. The course reportedly attracted 40,000 students from around the world.The UKCA is affiliated with the NASA Astrobiology Institute, and collaborates with the following institutions: * University of Bath * University of Bradford * University of Bristol * Cranfield University * Imperial College * University of Kent * University of Leeds * University of Nottingham * University of Leicester * Open University * University of Oxford * Birkbeck, University of London * University of East Anglia * Astrobiology Society of BritainRead more about the UKCA at http://www.astrobiology.ac.uk/JASON MCCLELLAN Source

A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MET FRIENDLY ET'S and... W 56.
THE STORY OF MASS CONTACT BEGAN IN 1956 WHEN BRUNO SAMMACICCIA AND TWO FRIENDS MET WITH TWO MYSTERIOUS INDIVIDUALS WHO SAID THEY WERE EXTRATERRESTRIALS. ONE WAS OVER 8 FOOT TALL WHILE THE OTHER WAS JUST OVER 3 FOOT.
Sammaciccia and his friends, initially skeptical, were eventually taken into a large underground base where they saw more of the alleged extraterrestrials. They also saw their children being educated, some of the advanced technologies they used, and their space ships. Finally convinced that they were really having physical contact with extraterrestrials, Sammaciccia and his friends began to help the extraterrestrials. They began with material support by arranging for truckloads of fruit, food and other material to be transported and unloaded at an extraterrestrial base. Eventually, two truckloads of supplies were being delivered every month to bases in different regions of Italy where Sammaciccia and his assistants lived.
Many of the extraterrestrials could easily blend into human society and even take normal jobs when necessary. The Friendship case helps confirm the accounts of a number of American contactees and whistleblowers that human looking extraterrestrials have blended into human society and have walked among us.
Sammaciccia finally described a violent conflict between two factions of extraterrestrials trying to influence humanity's development and future. While his 'Friendship' faction promoted cosmic unity and ethical development, the other faction promoted technological development at all cost. This led to periodic violent clashes between the factions. EVENTUALLY, THE UNDERGROUND BASES OF SAMMACICCIA'S EXTRATERRESTRIAL FRIENDS WAS DESTROYED IN 1978. Survivors had to leave the Earth but promised to return at a future time when humanity was ready for a more ethical future of humanity interacting with extraterrestrials.

The consideration of extraterrestrial contact is pure speculation. There is no evidence that extraterrestrial life exists in any form. I believe this will change quite soon thanks to dedicated researchers and exciting new space missions. Perhaps someday we will even discover extraterrestrial intelligence. Still, there is always the possibility that there is an extraterrestrial civilization out there and they are going to beat us to the punch, saying hello before we can find them ourselves. It's an outlier, I know, and yet I believe it deserves a bit of thought.Part of that thought involves viewing things from their perspective. How can we think like them if we have no idea who we might be talking about? The alien perspective would be entirely driven by who they are: their biology, senses, intelligence, technology and civilization. We have no idea what those details might entail. There is one factor that we can speculate about: not being us. One thing that we could probably assume from extraterrestrial contact is that they will not be us. This seems a bit obvious, but there is something that can be gained from this line of thinking. How would someone view humans from the perspective of the visitor? If we can put aside our cultural and geographical bias we can try to take on an extraterrestrial perspective.The first things they would probably study would be the physical make-up of our planet, the biological life forms on the planet, human biology and probably human psychology. Our civilization might be next. I think the first thing they might notice are the ways in which we are joined globally and ways in which we remain apart. Our system of nations would be one of the first things an outsider might notice when researching human civilization. Our cultural and religious differences would also be quite obvious as having a big impact on our civilization. Just these three categories drive much of human interaction with both positive and negative results. Technology would certainly be top of mind for a visitor. They would have to be at a higher level in technology than us to research our planet in the first place. They would most likely have great interest in our scientific systems and technological achievements. These elements alone could keep alien researchers busy for years. Needless to say that alien considerations of all of these topics would be based on their perspective, however I believe that by taking a wider perspective, we could start to develop a plan of action to better respond to high-information First Contact, if it ever occurs. This is only an issue for us in the event that they decide to say hello. Let me point out that this type of high-information, high-interaction First Contact is the least likely form of contact. It is however the particular sliver of the conversation that this blog tends to examine.An alien civilization with advanced technology could probably study us for decades without us ever knowing. They would always be one step ahead of us in terms of making sure our technology could not detect the probe or whatever means they used to conduct their study. At this point almost everything an extraterrestrial civilization would need is available on the Internet. A secret connection to the Internet, with a hidden form of transmission would probably not be tough for an alien scientist to set up and monitor.So, what can we gain from thinking like an alien? It can help us answer some of the basic questions of First Contact. What do they expect from us? What would they perceive as our strengths and weaknesses? What concerns would they have in how we might react? On the other side, there are questions we can consider. How can we organize to take advantage of First Contact? What are some of our weaknesses and our strengths in a First Contact situation? What would we need to do to respond to high-information, high-interaction First Contact? How could we protect our civilization and cultures in the wake of First Contact?Some researchers, among them Albert Harrison, Allen Tough, Douglas Vakoch and Michael Michaud, have attempted to answer some of these questions. By taking on an extraterrestrial perspective, we aren't really thinking like an extraterrestrial, we are merely viewing our world from an outsiders view. We have many advantages in this study. We know human society better than anyone else. We can ask questions about the human reaction and come up with ideas, based purely on what we already know about ourselves. There's advantage in doing such. If high-information First Contact ever does occur it will be our only roadmap moving forward. Truly it is just a trace of a path through a dense and complicated jungle. But it's better than nothing.

The hypothetical plan that life may well exist beyond Globe, is discussed for centuries. In the dialogue for taster, earlier Giordano Bruno in the 16th Century that the universe is never-ending and that represent are very much compound creatures on other planets in the universe exist. Conventional Immanuel Kant in 1755 it employed in his work from the realm of the stars. The conjecture improved sincerely in the add-on imperfect of the 19th Century, as the theory of demonstration gained manager general, which says that life has on the Globe over periods of billions of genuine mutation and category processes from the simplest life forms to ever better top-notch, manager solidity and finally developed inside intelligence. This inference, it was probable to feel that may well take evolved on other planets in a discontinue way of life - sincerely after apiece the regular biblical Christian worldview continually lost emphasis and on the dot out the astronomy that our sun is a star discontinue to the billions star is. It is clear that extraterrestrial life that has, regardless of life developed on Globe, may well border to life forms that disagree with manager or smaller amount track from populace exact to us of life forms on Globe (plants, plants, humans) and we correspondingly feel bizarre would. The conjecture about extraterrestrial life may be split nearly inside three groups:Life forms that resemble life on Globe, sincerely in humans (humanoids), principallyLife forms that are precisely apparent than any on Globe occurringlow forms of lifeExtraterrestrial life may in paradigm to life on earth movement be very opposite. It may well usual be based on totally apparent chemical elements. The speculation that alien life is that you can think of sole on carbon-based, is referred polemically as carbon self-government.Spare fascinating and creepy at the awfully time is not sole the professed attractiveness, but also the inference that alien life forms of a discontinue (or usual systematically apparent pattern), we humans may well potentially take cream of the crop intelligence and technology.As a consequence, it was speculated that extraterrestrial life forms, sincerely populace that are cream of the crop to consideration, in the radio show of contact, go out a search venture. Researchers such as Stephen Hawking and Simon Conway Morris articulated their doubts about a contact moreover loud extraterrestrial beings. The astronomer Alexander Zaitsev, coined touch for a probable intimidate intrigue, the aim of Darth Vader intrigue, after a person in the sci-fi movie Nominate Wars. Offer are hypothetical considerations for a planetary defense.

A SCIENTIST AT CARDIFF UNIVERSITY'S CENTRE FOR ASTROBIOLOGY CLAIMS THAT UFOS AND EXTRATERRESTRIALS DO EXIST AFTER DISCOVERING A METEORITE THAT CRASHED IN SRI LANKA
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, 74, believes that aliens are true and that they may have been the creator of life on Earth as he found seaweed fossils inside the meteorite from the outer space. He asserts that the findings he got from the 2-inch wide meteorite are strong proofs that human existence came from the outer space and that what people called as UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS may have even started life on the planet.
The meteorite fell like a fireball and was found near a village a few miles from Polonnaruwa city. Fragments of the meteorite were brought to the university's School of Earth Science. Examination using scanning electron microscope showed algae fossils that make up seaweed.
The British professor thinks that the fossils clearly show how life on Earth started from outer space 3,800 million years ago. He adds that the organisms inside the meteorite are identical to ones found in the planet fossils.
Moreover, Wickramasinghe insists that latest findings generate that fact that human life is associated with UFOS and that it may have been coming from other planets or galaxies. Other findings reveal that the meteorite contains other organisms that are still unknown.

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 - Data from NASA's Phoenix lander suggests that liquid water has interacted with the Martian surface throughout the planet's history and into modern times. The findings could have important implications in the search for signs of past or present life on the red planet. See article.g MESSAGE - In the search for life on other worlds, scientists can listen for radio transmissions from stellar neighborhoods where intelligent civilizations might lurk or they can try to actually spot planets like our own in habitable zones around nearby stars. Either approach is tricky and relies on choosing the right targets for scrutiny out of the many thousands of nearby stars in our galactic neighborhood. See article. This article is from 2006.g LEARNING - The NASA Astrobiology Roadmap and new discoveries are driving the search for extraterrestrial life, a group of scientists argue.
