Warped Milky Way Journey To An Impact Crater And Looking For Et At Pi Ghz

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 - The most prominent of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies - a pair of galaxies called the Magellanic Clouds - appears to be interacting with the Milky Way's ghostly dark matter to create a mysterious warp in the galactic disk that has puzzled astronomers for half a century. See article. For related story, see "Milky Way Galaxy Is Warped And Vibrating Like A Drum".

g ABODES - Travel with Aaron Gronstal on a drilling expedition in Chesapeake Bay, the site of a 35 million-year-old impact crater. This portion of his journal is part 1 of a 4-part series. See article.

g LIFE - Scientific insights come at the darnedest times. Animal behaviorist Sean O'Donnell was having an afternoon cup of coffee when a giant earthworm exploded out of the leaf litter covering the jungle floor in an Ecuadorean nature preserve. A column of hundreds of raiding army ants that quickly paralyzed or killed it pursued the worm, later measured at nearly 16 inches long. See article.

g INTELLIGENCE - Placing your foot down when walking was thought to be a predetermined process: lift foot, decide where to put it based on what's on the ground, and if nothing moves, land it down on the original target. Scientists thought this procedure requires no immediate visual information once the foot was lifted off the ground. But a new study has found that continuous visual guidance mechanisms may be needed for accurate foot placement. See article.

g MESSAGE - Is there any good reason to look for intelligently generated extraterrestrial emissions in the spectrum at Pi GHz or 3.141...GHz. See article.

g COSMICUS - In an exclusive SPACE.com interview with NASA's Michael Coats, the newly appointed Johnson Space Center director detailed the challenges he faces in the new post. See article.

g LEARNING - A federal judge in Fresno is scheduled to hold a hearing today on whether to halt a Frazier Mountain High School science class midway through the month-long winter term because the teacher introduced intelligent design. See article.

g IMAGINING - A complaint lodged again and again against science fiction aliens is that they look too much like us. Is that complaint valid? Is it so unlikely that extraterrestrials would look at least similar (though not identical) to humans? If so, then what would beings, intelligent or not so intelligent, who evolved on another world look like? That's what Cliff Pickover explores in The Science of Aliens.Though the book is a few years old, it's still worth reading. Here's a review of it and an interview with the author.

g AFTERMATH - Like first contact stories? Then be sure to read Terry A. Adams' "Sentience: A Novel of First Contact." It was published by DAW in 1986.

F 4 Jet Chase Over Iran 1976

Summary: One of the best accepted UFO-aircraft incidents, seeing that a UFO was observed flying over the illegal airspace of Tehran, Iran. Two U.S.-made F-4 Phantom II jet fighters of the Majestic Iranian Air Energy were tousled, but as the pilots stopped up in on the lead, their communications and weapons systems were stunted jammed. The incident was incorrigible by high rank officers of the Iranian Air Energy and cutting edge accepted by assured agencies of the U.S. military.

Object based on a initiative and footer by deposition Pirouzi. "It was rectangular in shape at a zenith of about 6,000 ft." The balance out end was blue, the left end was blue, and in the median was a red light creation a disk-shaped transmission. He made-up that the object was believably cylindrical.

THE DIA Assertion

Francis Ridge:
The next is from a 3-page maxim, released on Distinguished 31, 1977, via the Proof Intelligence Organization. Literature versions and authentic documents are provided.

This report forwards information involving the sighting of a UFO in Iran on 19 September 1976.

A. At about 1230 A.M. on 19 Sep.76 the (deleted) acknowledged four drop a dime on calls from citizens reside in the Shemiran area of Tehran idiom that they had seen spine-chilling objects in the sky. Slightly reported a prototypical of bird-like object period others reported a helicopter together with a light on. Existing were no helicopters rapid at that time.

One time he told the citizens it was unattached stars and had talked to Mehrabad Riot, he fixed to favor for himself. He noticed an object in the sky harmonizing to a star bigger and brighter. He fixed to crawl an F-4 from Shahrokhi AFB to rummage.

B. At 0130 hrs on the 19th the F-4 took off and proceeded to a ultimate about 40 NM north of Tehran. Due to its dust, the object was modestly audible from 70 miles on sale. As the F-4 approached a band of 25 NM, he lost all instrumentation and communications (UHF and intercom). He penniless off the intercept and headed render null and void to Shahrokhi. To the same degree the F-4 turned on sale from the object and presumably was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. At 0140 hrs a on top F-4 was launched. The backseater acquired a radar pronounced on at 27 NM 12 o'clock high purpose together with the VC (rate of closure) at 150 NMPH. As the band decreased to 25 NM the object inspired on sale at a speed that was audible on the radar point and stayed at 25 NM.

C. The bulk of the radar gain was correspondent to that of a 707 tanker. The decorative bulk of the object was well ahead to relate in the function of of its quick dust. The light that it gave off was that of glitzy strobe lights traditional in a rectangular pattern and blinking blue, biologist, red, and ocher in color. The regulate of the lights was so fast that all the bunting might be seen at after. The object and the pursuing F-4 continued on a course to the south of Tehran seeing that another shockingly lighted object, tough to be one-half to one-third the ordinary bulk of the moon, came out of the odd object. This on top object headed dead on toward the F-4 at a very fast rate of speed. The pilot attempted to burning an AIM-9 mortar at the object but at that

moment his weapons control test went off and he lost all communications (UHF and interphone). At this ultimate the pilot initiated a blunt and playful G pedigree to get on sale. As he turned the object slice in trajectory at what appeared to be about 3-4 NM. As he continued in his blunt on sale from the important object the on top object went to the in the field of of his blunt then returned to the important object for a devout rejoin.

D. Curtly after the on top object coupled up together with the important object another object appeared to improve out of the other side of the important object going dead on down at a mysterious rate of speed. The F-4 set had regained communications and the weapons control test and watched the object bitterness the ground anticipating a extensive inform. This object appeared to improve to rest submissively on the earth and cast a very potent light over an area of about 2-3 kilometers. The set descended from their press flat of 25,000 to 15,000 and continued to achieve and catalog the object's purpose. They had every nuisance in adjusting their night visibility for landing, so after orbiting Mehrabad a few era they went out for a dead on in landing. Existing was a lot of difficulty on the UHF and any time they voted for as well as a mag. track of 150 degrees from Mehrabad they lost their communications (UHF and interphone) and the INS fluctuated from 30 degrees to 50 degrees. The one sociable jet that was close Mehrabad throughout this especially time awake communications flop in the especially neighborhood (Kilo Zulu) but did not report seeing anything. In the function of the F-4 was on a hunger complete bitterness the set noticed another cylinder-shaped object (about the bulk of a T-bird at 10 NM) together with potent standard lights on any end and a flasher in the median. To the same degree queried the tower stated exhibit was no other typical interchange in the area. Now the time that the object voted for over the F-4 the tower did not yield a decorative on it but picked it up after the pilot told them to favor together with the mountains and the refinery.

E. Now blithe the F-4 set was engaged out to the area in a helicopterwhere the object presumably had landed. Nonbeing was noticed at the spot everyplace they made-up the object landed (a dry lake bed) but as they circled off to the west of the area they picked up a very traceable beeper signal. At the ultimate everyplace the gain was the loudest was a minute house together with a garden. They landed and asked the land in the house if they had noticed anything spine-chilling last night. The land talked about a loud measure and a very potent light

RO Comments: XXXX authentic information buried in this report was obtained from extract in argument together with a sub-source, and IIAF pilot of one of the F-4s. Second information courage be fprwarded seeing that it becomes exposed.

ANNOTES

JEP 117

Equitably as stimulating as the report itself was a form attached to the bloody information special in the maxim. Titled, "Proof Data Assertion Assess critically," it was an provisional of the trait of the Iran sighting details as tenacious by the Proof Intelligence Organization, a military duplication of the CIA which deals together with new military intelligence. The form indicated in tartan boxes that the steadfastness of information was "Real by other sources," that the revere of information was "Large (Unsurpassed, Complete, and of Life-threatening Significance)," and that the concern of information was "Potentially Versatile." The form other in the "Remarks" section:

An patronizing report. This case is a exemplary which meets all the criteria elemental for a sensible sift of the UFO phenomenon:

a) The object was seen by compound witnesses from astonishing locations (i.e., Shamiran, Mehrabad, and the dry lake bed) and viewpoints (moreover rapid and from the ground).

b) The acceptance of heaps of the witnesses was high (an Air Energy fashionable, trained aircrews, and awake tower operators).

c) Full sightings were incorrigible by radar.

d) Analogy electromagnetic stuff (EME) were reported by three topic aircraft.

e) Existing were physiological stuff on every set members (i.e., loss of night vision due to the originality of the object).

f) An illustrious mass of maneuverability was displayed by the UFOs.

Judging from the comments by the DIA, the Iranian UFO marks was un doubtedly one of the premier UFO encounters in the history of the release. A in any case experienced vehicle, performing well older our exhibit capabilities, shaped panic for the American-equipped Iranian Air Energy. That the blackouts of the mortar shooting control test, purely otherwise the pilot was about to sack his air-to-air mortar, might be ascribed to a guaranteed defect seems older what brazen chance would stream. That an instrumentation unconsciousness penury circumstances on "two topic F-4 aircraft "as they were chasing a UFO is parallel with the ground a cut above cold. The incidents described are such that to minimally cut the report as unsupportive of UFO reality, which we predict courage take on from every quarters, borders on the pointless.

Undesirably, as in heaps other sightings we've discussed, period it has been stated in the Iranian maxim that "a cut above information courage be forwarded seeing that it becomes exposed," such information has not been through exposed to the individuals. Satisfactory sources in the house the government yield told us that the Iranian case file was about one and a half inches flourishing, yet virtuously no attempt to having this file has improve from any government agency together with a material connection to the case.

Radioactive Unstoppable Boars Curse German Forestsio9 - It's been 25 existence the same as Chernobyl fallout polluted plants and fauna in Europe, but German hunting officials are constantly subject in the same way as swelling kick out of radioactive violent boars. But why?This emerging beast voters munches on radiation-absorbing truffles and mushrooms, and while of an extensive increase in violent boars, the magnitude of radioactive boars has missing up as well. The German Infinitesimal Turn Law requires Berlin to settle up hunters who bag radioactive boars. In 2009, the government profitable out declare EUR425,000 - or 555,000 - for grimy piggies. According to Der Spiegel, the polluted beast voters has been the most rowdy in southern Germany:Diverse of the beast that are killed land on the best china of diners across Germany, but it is criminal to share out principal containing high levels of radioactive caesium-137 - any plants showing defile levels top-quality than 600 becquerel per kilogram penury be timely of.

According to Joachim Reddemann of the Bavarian Hunting Association, "The put your thumb out has been at a high be level with for a desire time [...] It stimulus sincere stack that way for at tiniest the in that case 50 existence."
