Elegant 15, 1977: the night sooner than Elvis Presley died, at 11:16 p.m. an Ohio radio dwindle called the Big Ear recorded a top score thump of radiation that seemed to blow from somewhere in the constellation of Sagittarius at the 1420 MHz hydrogen line, the shudder popularity of hydrogen, the most natural molecule in the universe -exactly the signal ET-hunters had been instructed to end product out for. The signal was so strong that it hard-pressed the Big Ear's album intention off the go along with.

Jerry Ehman, the premature Columbus, Ohio tender man who spotted it in the computer printout, unreadable the now infamous "WOW!" in the put in the bank. The Big Ear revelry explored every part of possibility: military transmissions, reflections of Terracotta signals off asteroids or satellites, feral emissions from stars, but energy fit. And most odd of all, the signal came from a blank bottom of sky due devoid of stars. The premature engineer's precisely snag was that it could sustain been beamed from a spaceship refugee by means of the universe in search of positive sign of life.

Ohio Stipulation College researchers wondered if it was man's first contact subsequent to extraterrestrial intelligence. They qualified the vast post on that divide of the sky for the back month, and sustain returned from time to time being, subsequent to no repeat of the signal

And still a number of fixation to it as a impending extraterrestrial intelligence sighting, Ehman, now 54, says told the Cleveland Hurting Vendor "We ought to sustain seen it anew when we looked for it 50 era. No matter which suggests it was an Earth-bound signal that usefully got reflected off a tear up of space bunk."

"The same if it were spry beings transport a signal, they'd do it far particularly than considering," Ehman, now 54, says. "We ought to sustain seen it anew when we looked for it 50 era. No matter which suggests it was an Earth-bound signal that usefully got reflected off a tear up of space bunk."

Steven Greer Sirius Film June 13 2013

Source: redicecreations.com, SiriusDisclosure.com, Frank CarlucciJUNE 13, 2013-Steven M. Greer, MD is Founder of The Disclosure Project, The Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and The Orion Project. He is the author of four books and multiple DVDs on the UFO/ET subject. He teaches groups throughout the world how to make peaceful contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, and continues to research bringing truly alternative energy sources out to the public.Greer has led research teams throughout the world investigating the existence of ETI and on several occasions has successfully established preliminary contact and communication with extraterrestrial spacecraft at close range.We'll discuss the crowd funded documentary called Sirius, which features Steven along with numerous government and military witnesses to UFO and ET secrecy. Sirius deals not only with the subject of UFO and ET visitation disclosure but also with the advanced, clean, and alternative energy technology that's getting them here.Steven will talk about how these technologies, some of which have been suppressed for decades, can enable humanity to leave the age of the polluting petrodollar and transform society and improve mankind's chances for survival. He also tells us about his new R&D lab in the works. Later, we talk about the controversial aspects of the documentary. The hour ends on coherent thought sequencing used as a tool for primary vectoring of spacecrafts from deep space. Steven also explains how ET life forms, which have found their way to our corner of the galaxy, have evolved technologies which assist their ability to interface with consciousness. -redicecreations.comdownload mp3

Many Candidates For Earth Like Planets Seti Isnt Id And Why Mars

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 - Thanks to one of the most productive spacecraft ever built, scientists are far better acquainted with the star that lights our world and gives us life. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory was launched into space atop an Atlas rocket from Cape Canaveral on December 2, 1995. The tenth anniversary of SOHO's launch is a time for celebration for the ones who conceived, created and still operate this unprecedented solar spacecraft - and who have rescued it from oblivion three times. See article.

g ABODES - Astrobiologists disagree about whether advanced life is common or rare in our universe. But new research suggests that one thing is pretty certain - if an Earthlike world with significant water is needed for advanced life to evolve, there could be many candidates. See article.

g LIFE - The most comprehensive analysis ever performed of the genetic relationships among all the major groups of snakes, lizards and other scaly reptiles has resulted in a radical reorganization of the family tree of these animals, requiring new names for many of the tree's new branches. See article.

g INTELLIGENCE - Talk about creativity. Professional artists and poets hook up with two or three times as many sex partners as other people, new research indicates. See article.

g MESSAGE - The champions of Intelligent Design make two mistakes when they claim that the SETI enterprise is logically similar to their own. See article.

g COSMICUS - For many years people have asked the ever so important question, "Why Mars - why should we go to Mars?" For every individual who ponders this question there is a unique response. There is no correct answer to the conundrum and there is no single best answer either. Everyone must challenge their own intellect and form their own opinions on why, or why not, which brings about the focus of this rant. The driving question for those of us already dedicated to human space exploration should not be "Why Mars", but rather "What?" Mars. As in, what will you do to help set the human race on the path to Mars? It is as clich'e as "everyone has to do their part" and as direct as John F. Kennedy's famous speech "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." See article.

g LEARNING - There's a neat set of online activities, primarily for older teens or young adults, about communicating with extraterrestrial intelligence here. It helps students learn about SETI while they send one another messages then decode them, as if they were alien civilizations on distant worlds.

g IMAGINING - What about the invading aliens from the X-Files: Are they plausible? A book released a few years ago that addresses the topic is "The Science of the X-Files", by Jeanne Cavelos. There's a review of the book (look near the end for a discussion on the extraterrestrial biology).

g AFTERMATH - What would be the affect on humanity following contact with alien life? Portions of a Brookings Institute report offer some insights. See report.

Extraterrestrial Memes The Colossus Heat Seeking Alien Hunting Telescope In The Works

JUNE 09, 2013 - SPACE - We might find aliens through the heat their civilizations give off, astronomers say, but it will take a megatelescope to do the job. Such a telescope, in fact, is planned.The telescope - called Colossus - would be a massive 250-foot (77 meters) telescope, which is more than double the aperture of any telescope yet constructed.To keep costs down, the proposed 1 billion telescope would use thin mirror technology and few large aperture mirror segments. The sensitivity of the scope, though, could be enough to spot cities or other signs of aliens for planets as far as 60 to 70 light-years from Earth, its backers said.An artist's rendering of what the proposed Colossus alien-seeking telescope would look like.The Colossus Consortium"If we had an investor come and say 'Look, here are the resources you need,' we could have the telescope built within five years," said Jeff Kuhn, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, who is on the proposal team.Building on Dyson spheresIn searches for extraterrestrial intelligence, astronomers generally focus on seeking out beamed signals from other civilizations. In four decades of searching, nothing definitive has been found. There were, however, a few interesting moments, such as the so-called "Wow!" signal heard in 1977 that was never repeated.There are limitations with that method, however. Perhaps the aliens might not send out signals themselves. Perhaps they broadcast in channels we wouldn't think of using. Moreover, humans should perhaps be cautious about sending out signals and alerting more advanced civilizations to their presence, as Stephen Hawking has said.This is where Colossus can shine, Kuhn said. The telescope is a passive receiver that allows astronomers to seek out extraterrestrials without alerting them to the search.Kuhn's team builds on a concept first proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in the 1960s. Humans can capture only a fraction of the energy sent out by the sun, but a more advanced civilization would want to grab as much as possible.Dyson suggested an extraterrestrial civilization would surround their star with a structure - now known as a "Dyson sphere" - that would capture the energy needed and then bleed the rest off into space.From Earth, a star that is faint optically but very strong in the infrared could be an indication of such a sphere, Dyson mused.Kuhn's team, rather than focusing on stars, is instead looking at the surfaces of alien planets."Similarly, an exoplanetthat was optically dark, but thermally bright, would be evidence of extraterrestrial civilization," Kuhn said.Seeking the heatTo date, there are few images obtained of exoplanets - they're faint and their parent stars tend to overwhelm their radiated light. That's why such a large mirror is needed to peer at them, Kuhn said."The biggest telescopes that we're likely to see in the next 100 years or so will not be able to directly image cities or organized structures on the planet," he said. Still, he added, local heat sources could be visible."We do that by using the fact that the planet has to rotate, and that civilization is clustered either by the formation of continents or the use of land, which is agrarian versus organized into population centers. The assumption we make is that civilizations will cluster their heat use. It won't be uniform; they distribute it."Volcanoes and other natural features also produce heat, Kuhn said, but astronomers would probe heat sources in at least two different wavelengths to obtain the temperature. Natural features are likely to be far above the background heat of the planet. Those heat sources that are slightly above the planet's natural radiation are more likely to be signs of civilization, he said. The method does have limitations, he added."It is possible to be confused on a planet which is perpetually cloud-covered, and we wouldn't be able to detect a signal on a planet where somehow the alien society managed to uniformly distribute itself around the planet so it isn't clustered," Kuhn said.There's no firm location yet for the telescope, but Kuhn suggested it could be built in the San Pedro Martir mountainous area of Baja California in Mexico, close to the location of one partner in the project: the National University of Mexico in Ensenada.Six patents pendingKuhn's team is seeking funding from private funders, and will perhaps obtain money from patents as well. The scientists submitted six patent applications relating to optical technologies associated with the telescope design."We are not in competition with the astronomy projects," he said when asked about obtaining federal science or NASA funding for the effort. "This is entirely private funding that we have been supported by."The team, however, is open to partnerships with other institutions. One possibility could be the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute itself, but the organization prefers to focus on radio telescopes right now, Kuhn said.The notion was first thought up by Caisey Harlingten, an entrepreneur and amateur astronomer who sought two years ago to find a team capable of building the telescope, Kuhn said. The group includes a member with experience building Hawaii's Keck and Suburu telescopes - David Halliday, founder of Canadian-based Dynamic Structures Inc.Other partners in the project include Germany's Kiepenheuer Institute for Solar Physics, the National University of Mexico in Ensenada, Tohoku University in Japan, the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy, the University of Lyon in France and Harlingten's company, Innovative Optics.An overview concept of the project was recently published in Astronomy magazine. The group is now creating a more detailed design and seeking funding. No start date is set yet for construction. - NBC NEWS.

Contact Would We Know If It Happened

Forgive my cynicism, but I have to ask: If we received an irrefutable ET signal, would the public ever know?Suppose it happened tomorrow: Radio astronomers detect an intelligently crafted burst of data lurking in the interstellar noise. According to international SETI protocol, the receipt of such a signal, once verified, would be disseminated among the astronomical community and made public. Indeed, international cooperation might be necessary in order to distinguish a legitimate alien signal from any number of phenomena capable of generating false alarms.SETI's disclosure scenario only makes sense if the signal in question is of no strategic importance. But, in reality, we have no way of anticipating what an alien intelligence might choose to send us. While many scientists find the prospects of interstellar hate mail slim, we can't immediately rule out the existence of malevolent ETs or cosmic "spam."A transmitting civilization wouldn't even have to be hostile to pose grave threats to SETI's promise of prompt dissemination. For example, a radio-frequency communiqu'e might contain data pertaining to a relatively near-term celestial threat such as an impending supernova. In effect, our first signal might prove to be a warning from a galactic emergency broadcast system. While the motive behind the message might be perfectly benign, the effect on our society could prove debilitating.Which begs the question: How do we distinguish between the sort of lofty, abstract dialogue immortalized by Carl Sagan and less palatable alternatives? More pressingly, how do we make such a determination within a reasonable time-frame?The arrival of an extraterrestrial signal would almost certainly be fraught with some degree of bureaucratic interference, and it would be the height of na"ivet'e to expect the national security establishment to content itself with idle observation of the proceedings. At some point during the decryption of a candidate signal someone is bound to intervene. If the message seems at all intriguing, I can't help but envision the discovery going underground... at least until sufficiently analyzed. (One naturally wonders if the public announcement of an ET transmission would represent the whole signal or a "sanitized" remix.)Lest my concerns seem like so much "X-Files" paranoia, it's worth considering some of the reasons an ET intelligence might send us a message in the first place. Perhaps, as noted, we're due to experience an unforeseen "existential threat" via gamma radiation or the close approach of an uncharted black hole. Or we may be in the line of fire of someone else's war. More extravagantly, we might discover that our section of the galaxy is scheduled for demolition in order to make room for an astro-engineering project -- in which case our stellar landlords could be sending out a most unwelcome eviction notice (albeit one we can postpone heeding for a few thousand years).The threats above may seem reassuringly distant to citizens of the West, but the governments of less-developed regions might see things quite differently. While our ET neighbors might be able to take a long-range view, we can scarcely say the same for our own species.Ultimately, would nation states elect to gamble with their respective economies and socio-political agendas for the sake of imparting knowledge of no apparent practical consequence?I think the answer is no."This piece originally appeared at aboutSETI.com."

Seti Is For Chumps And Other Reasons Why We Have Yet To Hear From Aliens

As I've illustrated in previous postings, I'm not convinced the "Fermi Paradox" is quite the insoluble puzzle it's generally made out to be. On the contrary, I think there's ample reason to think the human species could be interacting with a fantastically novel (and secretive) form of ETI, although I realize that proving my hunch is another matter altogether.Nevertheless, it's worth examining some of the reasons we have yet to receive the popularly conceived extraterrestrial signal currently sought by mainstream SETI researchers. If nothing else, a breakdown of the options casts our own brief legacy as a technological species in a sobering glow.1.) Maybe some intelligent ETs forego radio transmission in favor of crewed exploration. Although unwieldy by human standards, there are innumerable reasons why spacecraft might be deemed preferable to manning radio telescopes. Put less gently, perhaps SETI is for chumps.2.) Forget exploration; maybe aliens lose interest in such arduous ventures as soon as they develop technologies that enable them to inhabit custom-engineered realities. Imagine a future incarnation of Second Life; would users voluntarily leave worlds (and bodies) of their own creation if their needs were provided for?3.) Maybe the situation's grimmer than we like to admit and ET civilizations almost inevitably self-destruct. We've only narrowly avoided nuclear Armageddon here on Earth, and we're still far from reaching a sustainable geopolitical milieu. Why should ETs necessarily be any different?4.) Of course, there's the "quarantine" hypothesis, which maintains that while at least one ET presence in aware of us, it elects to remain unseen -- at least until we reach some arbitrary level of sophistication or enlightenment. In one version of this scenario we're being actively (if clandestinely) groomed for eventual contact, which might explain aspects of the UFO phenomenon.5.) Perhaps aliens do rely on radio, but only briefly, inevitably graduating to vastly improved modes of communication (some possibly beyond the scope of modern physics). In this case there's a chance we could eavesdrop on a stray transmission, but it would be so old that it would tell us very little about what the originating civilization was up to now... or if it even still existed in recognizable form.6.) We could be the first. After all, someone has to be. But the sheer number of stars in our galaxy -- to say nothing of the discovery of ubiquitous exoplanets -- argues that we aren't. (Perhaps it's equally likely that we're the last, and that other intelligences have long since abandoned long-distance radio communication in favor of hedonistic virtual worlds or a "postbiological" existence antithetical to scientific curiosity. Having ensured their survival, advanced aliens might be a curiously unimaginative lot.)7.) On a more ominous note, maybe detectable civilizations arise regularly but are quickly snuffed out by a galaxy-spanning intelligence that's adopted the role of cosmic exterminator. Interstellar warfare would seem to be the stuff of pulp science fiction, but the survival imperative is rooted in basic Darwinism. We can't rationally exclude the possibility, however slim, that candidate civilizations invariably fall victim to vengeful self-made gods.8.) Encrypted transmissions could be so complex -- or so excruciatingly simple -- that we simply don't recognize them as the work of intelligence. Although we take great pains to envision "the alien," our objectivity could be hobbled by our innate tendency to assume ETs will resemble ourselves in at least basic respects.9.) Some scientists insist that while primitive ET life is relatively common, ET intelligence is effectively impossible in light of the myriad variables that spawned complex life on Earth. Proponents of the "Rare Earth" hypothesis aren't afraid to argue that we could be the only intelligent species in the galaxy, if not the entire universe.10.) Finally, returning to the scenario outlined in my previous post: Maybe we have intercepted a signal, recognized it as such, and kept it a secret for fear of its potential to destabilize entrenched social structures."This piece originally appeared at aboutSETI.com."
