This Morning viewers in hysterics as Peter Andre 'hunts' aliens and speaks to 'mysterious girl' who encountered the supernatural
This Morning viewers in hysterics as Peter Andre 'hunts' aliens and speaks to 'mysterious girl' who encountered the supernatural
The singer believes alien spacecraft have visited this planet after a personal encounter with UFOs in the Nevada desert
BY KYLE O'SULLIVAN
This Morning viewers were let in hysterics after Peter Andre spoke to a woman who encountered the supernatural in his "hunt" for aliens.
The singer admitted he believes alien spacecraft have visited this planet after personal witnessing UFOs flying in the sky above him on a trip to the Nevada desert.
Today marked the launch of a new three-part series called 'Peter Andre's World of Weird' that will see him investigating the paranormal and supernatural.
He spoke to a "mysterious girl" who described how she saw a "massive thing" which shone lights from above the sea before zooming off into the air.

Speaking on This Morning about his reasons for believing in the paranormal, he said: "Witness testimonies and video footage of UFOs are often dismissed as hoaxes or the product of over reactive imagination.
"But you see I do believe alien spacecraft have visited this planet. Why? Because I’ve seen one."
Describing his supernatural experience, Peter said: "A few years ago I was driving through the Nevada dessert with my family close to the famous area 51 military base.
"Now you’re only allowed within a certain distance of the base but believe me I got as close as I could. And what I saw was unbelievable.
The UFO shone bright lights over the sea(Photo: ITV)
"I've never seen anything like it, there were crafts, they were erratic - objects going from one point in the sky to the other in split seconds and disappearing and reappearing - it blew my mind.
"Even since then I've seen loads of things, that in itself made me believe."
The series, which will see Peter tackling the topics of alien visitors, ghosts, and reincarnation, started with an interview with Jo Wood.
Peter will interview abductees and spend a night in a haunted house(Photo: ITV)
Explaining her encounter with the supernatural, Jo said: "I was in Recife in Brazil with my ex Ronnie and our kids. He [Ronnie] was out wandering around and he started shouting 'Jo, Jo, come here, come here, there's something weird over by the sea'..."
Jo added: "Above the sea was this massive thing and the lights came down on the sea from underneath it, and as I'm watching it, it just suddenly went [swift movement action] and stopped and then went... it was gone, just like that."
As the series progresses, Peter will also speak to abductees and witnesses, spend an evening in a haunted castle, and even undergo a past-life regression.

This Morning viewers were left in hysterics as they joked about Peter and his supernatural beliefs.
One viewer said: "Peter Andre believes in aliens on the basis that he once saw a Mysterious Girl
Another added: "Out of all the people @ThisMorning could've got to do an alien report - @MrPeterAndre is who they've chosen."
A third said: "I'm still aghast that Peter Andre exists.....never mind f***ing aliens."
* 'Peter Andre's World of Weird' will be on ITV's This Morning on Thursdays at 10.30am
In 1959, Eileen Moreland was walking across a paddock to collect some cows for milking before she was confronted by a green glow.
Illustrations: Ben Thomson
You know those flashing lights you saw that one time in the sky? Maybe they weren't comets after all.
This article was originally published on VICE New Zealand, it is supported by Alien: Covenant, out in cinemas on May 11. To celebrate the film's release, we spoke to a bunch of New Zealanders who have witnessed what they believe to be UFOs or signs of alien life.
On 22 December 2010 at 1.30pm, the New Zealand Defence Force released their classified sightings between 1952 and 2009 on the grounds of huge public interest. The process took 14 months.
The files contained information relating to the infamous Kaikoura lights sightings of 1978, where hundreds of people saw lights of varying sizes appearing, and reappearing, in the region. The lights were even spotted playing a game of duck, duck, goose, of sorts, with a cargo aircraft.
The reports also documented the 1959 Moreland sightings, where a Mrs Eileen Moreland was walking across a paddock to collect some cows for milking—as you do—before she was confronted by a green glow. She'd stumbled across a UFO trying to land in her paddock. They were harmless, sure, and they were also wearing metallic suits. The controversy fuelled Cold War fears of Russian involvement.
Even though it's been almost 60 years since the Moreland case—and people still often report extraterrestrial sightings—explanation around what's out there still remains unclear. To unshroud the mystery around the phenomenon, we spoke to some New Zealanders who have been spooked by what they claim to be signs of alien activity.
Sarah* was sixteen when she and two friends spotted a UFO in Christchurch in 2006. It was a completely clear, hot, and dry summer night. She was leaning up against her car when her mates noticed something out of the ordinary. All three of them witnessed three bright white lights move together at a steady pace across the sky in what seemed like a perfect lateral triangle.
"We were like, 'Whoa, that's kind of cool', not really thinking too much of it. I thought it must have been a meteorite, plane, or comet, but then they just stopped and froze for about five to ten seconds. We were caught a bit off guard."
"Then, out of nowhere, they each burst away from one another and shot out in different directions really bloody quickly and disappeared."
Before the encounter, Sarah was a sceptical, non-believer type of person. And while she's not going to jump up and down and join forums anytime soon, she says the whole thing was extremely odd. "All of us were a little shocked afterwards, we just looked at each saying, 'No... really, that didn't... But you saw that too, right?'"
She'd had a few drinks earlier, but insists it made no impact as to what she saw. But based on this, friends immediately dismissed the credibility of the story.
"If I'm thinking about representations of alcoholics in film, they are always seen as the village idiot until some knight-in-shining-sober-armour comes along to confirm what this guy has been saying the whole time."
Finn Erikson's UFO encounter also happened last year in Christchurch, between Taylors Mistake beach and Godley Head east of Christchurch. He was parked in a car park up in the valley, chatting to his friend, when they noticed darting small lights above the hillside. While they were akin to light laser points, they were huge and moved erratically. The lights disappeared and were replaced by big red lights on the hillside below, which was particularly strange as there was no road access, and the lights were too big to be from a car.
"The lights were too big to be from a car."
"We were majorly spooked and both agreed it was an authentic brush with UFOs. A major X-Files vibe set in and we gapped it toot sweet to avoid more shocking encounters."
Erikson has always been, and still is, an emphatic believer in life beyond earth. "I love the possibility that we could, as a planet, make alien contact within our lifetime. I think aliens would be peaceful and would have a lot to offer, such as wisdom to solve world crises or advanced alien technologies to help the planet and humanity. Hey, a guy can dream right?"
Where people may try to rationalise the unexplainable as earthly phenomena, Erikson's belief comes down to statistics and odds.
"Given that we know there are billions of stars and planets within our own galaxy, and there are billions of galaxies within the universe, there are overwhelming odds that there are millions of planets with the conditions to promote life."
The cultural fascination with space and UFOs has been a great platform from which to have explored his own musings on the subject too, he says. "I think agent Mulder made believers out of a lot of '90s kids, despite agent Scully's attempts to always find a rational explanation."
Wellington's Jim Chipp also thinks he had an extraterrestrial encounter, but he's still not so sure. He was driving south between Eketahuna and Masterton mid-evening in January over ten years ago. A light appeared over the eastern horizon, 10-12 kilometres away and came toward the car very fast. It veered south above the car then flared brightly before vanishing.
A few seconds after, there was another one, and then another, with six in total. Chipp began counting as they approached, and based on them covering the distance from the horizon to the car in six seconds, he thinks they were travelling at about 7000 kilometres per hour, far too fast for anything man-made.
Chipp read up on it, and found there were similar sightings in the area, but he also found scientific reports suggesting that methane gathers high in the atmosphere and is ignited by lightening, creating a fireball effect.
He has an open mind when it comes to the existence of extraterrestrial life, but seeing their aircraft is a different matter.
"If they were capable of travelling here they are more advanced than us, probably by millions of years. We would only see them if they wanted us to and if they wanted us to see them, they wouldn't leave room for doubt. I don't believe people have seen alien craft."
In all of these circumstances one thing's certain. Whether you're open to the idea of UFOs or not, you still might find yourself being scared silly by erratic flashing lights trying to dominate New Zealand's beautiful vistas.

X-37B : après 700 jours dans l'espace, le mystérieux vaisseau de l’US Air Force est de retour sur Terre
X-37B : après 700 jours dans l'espace, le mystérieux vaisseau de l’US Air Force est de retour sur Terre
Après un séjour de presque deux ans en orbite, le drone militaire américain X-37B est revenu sur Terre le dimanche 7 mai 2017. -
USAF/Cover Images/SIPA
Parti en mai 2015, le vaisseau X-37B de l'US Air Force est revenu sur Terre samedi dernier en Floride, bouclant une mission historique de 718 jours dans l'espace dont l'objectif est toujours classé secret défense.
Après deux ans passés dans l'espace, le X-37B a fait son grand retour sur Terre. Samedi 7 mai, à 7H47 heure locale, le vaisseau de l'US Air Force a atterri sur le tarmac du Kennedy Space Center en Floride. Un atterrissage très remarqué alors que l'engin de 9 mètres de long et 4,5 m d'envergure a émis juste avant un puissant bang supersonique qui a surpris les habitants aux alentours.
Le retour du vaisseau aux allures de navette spatiale était aussi très attendu. Parti en mai 2015, le X-37B dépourvu d'équipage a bouclé là une mission inédite qui aura duré 718 jours. "Aujourd'hui marque un jour incroyablement excitant pour l'unité 45th Space Wing alors que nous continuons à briser les barrières", a commenté dans un communiqué, Wayne Monteith, brigadier général de l'US Air Force et commandant de l'unité.
"Notre équipe prépare cet évènement depuis plusieurs années et je suis extrêmement fier de voir que notre dur travail et notre dévouement ont abouti à l'atterrissage réussi du X-37B", a-t-il ajouté. Mais si le vaisseau fait beaucoup parler de lui, ce n'est pas pour ses prouesses techniques, c'est plutôt pour l'objectif de sa mission classée secret défense.
Le X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle revenu ce week-end est le quatrième du nom à s'envoler sous l'égide de l'US Air Force, l'armée de l'air américaine. Le premier vol a eu lieu en 2010 et duré 224 jours. Le dernier s'était achevé en 2014 après une durée record de 674 jours dans l'espace. Or si la plupart des détails techniques du projet ont été rendus publics, les missions restent très mystérieuses.
Interrogé par Space.com en 2014, le général William Shelton avait déclaré : "X-37 fait un excellent travail. Je ne peux pas vous dire ce qu'il fait, mais il le fait très bien". Selon les communiqués de l'US Air force et de Boeing, le X-37B servirait "des objectifs spatiaux à long terme". Plus précisément, il servirait à tester de nouveaux matériaux et technologies dans l'environnement spatial.
Alimenté par l'énergie solaire, l'OTV est un véhicule capable de décoller, rester en orbite basse et revenir sur Terre de façon autonome. Il permettrait ainsi à l'armée américaine d'envoyer des équipements dans l'espace et de voir à leur retour comment ils ont résisté. Pour ce 4e vol, un propulseur de la société Aerojet Rocketdyne aurait notamment été transporté. Néanmoins, ces affirmations sont loin de convaincre tout le monde.
Depuis sa première mission, le X-37B suscite de nombreuses théories plus ou moins étayées. Et les débats se sont intensifiés quand des observateurs ont révélé avoir constaté que le X-37B survolait à plusieurs reprises certaines régions telles que l'Iraq, l'Iran, le Pakistan, l'Afghanistan et la Corée du Nord. Largement de quoi attiser les rumeurs.
Pour certains, ces observations renforcent la théorie selon laquelle le vaisseau serait utilisé pour espionner des régions géopolitiques sensibles. D'autres suggèrent qu'il servirait à mettre hors d'état de nuire des satellites redoutés par le gouvernement américain ou à l'inverse, à déployer lui-même des satellites de reconnaissance.
Plus insolite, des conspirationnistes ont évoqué la possibilité que le X-37B serve en quelque sorte de bombardier permettant de larguer une arme sur Terre depuis l'espace. Une théorie rapidement écartée par les experts au vu des caractéristiques techniques du vaisseau.
Petit et difficile à manœuvrer
"Le X-37 fait la taille d'un pick-up, ce serait difficile de mettre des armes efficaces à bord", a expliqué à l'AFP Victoria Samson, spécialiste de la fondation américaine Secure World Militant pour le développement durable dans l'espace. Par ailleurs, le X-37B étant alimenté via des panneaux solaires, il serait difficile de beaucoup le manœuvrer.
"D'une manière générale, manœuvrer en orbite nécessite une énorme quantité de carburant, donc je ne le vois pas faire beaucoup" de déplacements, a-t-elle détaillé. Or, larguer une arme sur Terre nécessiterait de cibler une zone particulière et donc de changer le plan orbital du vaisseau. De même, ses caractéristiques ne paraitraient pas idéales pour lui confier des missions d'espionnage selon les experts.
Si c'était le cas, "je ne vois pas l'intérêt de l'alourdir avec des ailes et un train d'atterrissage, et de le rendre si visible de la Terre que même des amateurs peuvent le suivre", a relevé Mark Gubrud, physicien spécialiste des technologies militaires spatiales de l'Université de Caroline de Nord. Durant son 4e vol, le X-37B a en effet été repéré à plusieurs reprises par une communauté d'observateurs amateurs.
Pour les spécialistes, le X-37B serait donc davantage un banc d'essai volant qu'une arme potentielle. De son côté, l'US Air Force s'est contentée d'affirmer que le projet ne visait "aucune capacité offensive". "Si les militaires américains voulaient calmer les spéculations, ils pourraient le faire", a jugé Victoria Samson. "Mais peut-être que c'est dans leur intérêt de laisser les gens dans l'incertitude !" Pour l'heure, on ignore si d'autres vols sont prévus.
Hallo Atlantis? Wetenschappers ontdekken bijzondere gangen onder Antarctica
Hallo Atlantis? Wetenschappers ontdekken bijzondere gangen onder Antarctica
FOTO: RR
Het idee dat Antarctica meer herbergt dan alleen maar ijs is een populaire theorie onder complotdenkers. De theorieën variëren van UFO’s naar de verborgen resten van een oude beschaving, en deze recente ontdekking zal alleen nog maar olie op het vuur gooien.
Onder de ijskappen van Antarctica vonden wetenschappers een heel stelsel van gangen en structuren die doen denken aan gewelven. Sommige van die gewelven zouden zo hoog zijn als de Eiffeltoren. De mysterieuze gangen bevinden zich onderaan een de meer dan 800 meter dikke ijskap.
Wetenschappers van de VUB hebben het over stromingen en verzamelingen van sediment onder de Antarctische ijsplaat. In essentie betekent dat dat er groot netwerk van tunnels en richels loopt onder het ijs. Deze natuurlijk gevormde structuren zouden bijdragen aan de stabiliteit van de ijskap.
Op deze beelden zie je de locatie van de gangen (boven) en hoe diep ze zich in het ijs bevinden (onder)FOTO: RR
Hoe de gangen ontstaan zijn, is nog niet geheel duidelijk, maar zou te maken hebben met het feit dat rotsen krassen maken in de onderkant van de ijsplaat. Die krassen zouden door het water verder uitgehold worden en gevoeliger zijn voor smelten wanneer de ijsplaat in contact komt met warmer water.
Eenmaal de wetenschappers voldoende kunnen begrijpen hoe die gangen juist gevormd worden, geloven ze dat ze ook de gevolgen van de klimaatopwarming op het smelten van de ijskappen beter zullen kunnen inschatten.
Mysterieuze gangen ontdekt onder Antarctica. Wie heeft ze gemaakt?
Mysterieuze gangen ontdekt onder Antarctica. Wie heeft ze gemaakt?
Onder de ijskap van Antarctica hebben wetenschappers mysterieuze gangen en structuren gevonden die doen denken aan gewelven.
Sommige daarvan zijn net zo hoog als de Eiffeltoren. De vreemde gangen zijn ontdekt onder de bijna één kilometer dikke ijskap.
Onderzoekers van de Vrije Universiteit Brussel stuitten op een groot netwerk van tunnels en richels onder het ijs.
Littekens
Ze kunnen nog niet met zekerheid zeggen hoe de gangen zijn ontstaan. Mogelijk maken rotsen openingen in de onderkant van de ijslaag, die verder uitgehold worden door warmer water.
Gedacht wordt dat deze formaties bijdragen aan de stabiliteit van de ijskap. De gigantische landmassa’s maken scheuren in het ijs, waardoor ‘littekens’ ontstaan.
De ontdekking zal ongetwijfeld leiden tot speculatie onder mensen die geloven dat Antarctica UFO-bases en resten van een verloren beschaving herbergt, schrijft The Sun.
Verloren stad
Sommige onderzoekers claimen op basis van een 500 jaar oude kaart die gemaakt is door een Ottomaanse generaal dat er mogelijk een verloren stad ligt onder Antarctica.
Anderen zijn er heilig van overtuigd dat Atlantis verborgen ligt onder het ijs van Antarctica.
Volgens de wetenschappers is hier slechts sprake van natuurlijke formaties. Zij spreken in het tijdschrift Nature Communications van stromingen en verzamelingen van sediment onder de ijskap.
A FLYING HUMANOID ENTITY ATTACKED A POLICE OFFICER IN MEXICO
A FLYING HUMANOID ENTITY ATTACKED A POLICE OFFICER IN MEXICO
The city of Monterrey in Mexico has been thrown into a panic after a bizarre story has emerged regarding a police officer being attacked by what has been described as a ‘flying humanoid entity’.
The police officer, Leonardo Samaniego from Guadalupe in Mexico was on patrol in his car around the Colonia Valles de la Silla in the city at around 3.15 in the morning. When Samaniego turned into Alamo Street, he noticed that something was amiss. He says that he saw a huge, black object fall from a tree but that it seemed to stop itself from hitting the ground by levitating. It then slowly touched down to the ground and slowly turned around to face him. A shocked Officer Samaniego turned on the high beams of his patrol car to investigate.
The lights appeared to anger the creature which covered its face. Officer Samaniego said that he could see the being quite clearly. He described it as a woman with two big black eyes without eyelids and very dark skin. He said that the female figure was dressed all in black with a cloak like a witch. After observing him for a few seconds, the creature suddenly burst into a violent rage and leaped upon the hood of the patrol car in an attempt to attack the police officer. Officer Samaniego attempted to reverse the car and called for back-up.
He managed to get away from his attacker and reached the end of the street where he lost consciousness. He was found, unhurt but still unconscious, by officers in two patrol cars and first responders from an ambulance unit.
When other officers heard Samaniego’s story, many of them were incredulous. The officer was asked to undergo several drug tests in order to ensure that he was not under the influence of narcotics or alcohol. All of the tests were negative. He also submitted himself to a psychiatric evaluation at the Hospital Universitario where he was found to be psychologically healthy.
In addition to his clean bill of health, the police officer’s story has gained credibility as others have come forward claiming to have seen the bizarre creature around the city. Two more policemen from the Regia Police have claimed that they saw a flying creature in the sky a few days previously, as have many members of the public.

THERE ARE NOW 22 ALIEN SIGNALS THAT NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN
THERE ARE NOW 22 ALIEN SIGNALS THAT NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN
Ever heard of fast radio bursts (FRBs)? These bursts of energy last but merely a split of a second at most, but the energy generated by each burst are billions of times more than whatever we know of currently in our world. To put it into a simple perspective, think 500 million of our Suns put together. That is the amount of energy generated by an FRB within a split second.
Till date, scientists are still confounded by FRBs. We have not even a vague idea of where it comes from, what it does or even what they are exactly. Theories about FRBs span from powering alien spaceships to our regular microwaves on Earth. To think that such an occurrence is rare isn't surprising, however, scientists predict that daily, about 2000 occurrences happen.
However, that is still a highly debatable subject as only 22 signals in the world are confirmed as to date. FRBs are notoriously hard to capture as signals only last for milliseconds before they've entirely vanished without a trace.
The most recent discovery has scientists left in a trail of shock. The FBR 150215, the first of its kind to be clearly recorded, was heard in Australia on 15th February 2015.
The FBR 150215, recorded as clear as day
We have been detecting FBR for years, but what makes this one so special? Firstly, Petroff, from the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy, has claimed that this FBR is detectable through many telescopes but however leaves no trace or signals. More than that, it is even weirder as it is scientifically impossible for us to hear to capture this signal, as the direction it was coming from makes it impossible as it had to travel through a very dense milky way before it can reach Earth. However, miracles happen every day, or maybe it is just another alien spacecraft being powered up some light years away, as some have suggested.
There is still a lot more of the world, much less the galaxy that we are missing out on.
UFOS AND DEAD ALIEN BODIES ARE BEING STORED BUT NOT IN AREA 51
UFOS AND DEAD ALIEN BODIES ARE BEING STORED BUT NOT IN AREA 51
Everyone has an opinion about Area 51 and what may or may not be contained there. Even those who would not consider themselves a conspiracy theorist has their suspicions of what top-secret government actions are taking place at the Nevada desert location. However, many are now coming forward to say that while Area 51 does have its secrets, the real action is in an underground bunker in the Papoose Mountain Range a few miles away.
Area 51 rose to fame when in 1947, it is believed an alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. For days government officials scoured the site of what they alleged to be an Air Force balloon crash making sure to erase any traces of what had occurred. People involved with the recovery of the craft stated that the remains of any ship or passengers thereof were hurriedly carried away to what they believed the destination to be Area 51.
Recently, some in the watchdog community have theorized that while Area 51 does house secret government military technologies, any alien tech is stored approximately 15 miles away from the famous site. It could be that the government allows speculation to run rampant about Area 51 to draw attention away from the true site of the government alien archives.
This mountain site would be the perfect place to hideaway and experiment with found alien technology and perhaps study beings from other worlds who found themselves stranded on our planet. Away from public eyes and with Area 51 shouldering the majority of suspicion, those officials and scientists at the Papoose Mountain facility would be more free to develop the government's own devices and weaponry.
If the government were in possession of alien spacecraft, it is certain that its top priority would be to re-create the technology contained within for its own advancement. This is what Jan Harzan, Executive Director of The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) believes makes up close to ten percent of the reported UFO sightings his organization receives. MUFON dedicates itself to documenting any sightings of strange aircraft so concerned individuals can look for correlation and validation between their own personal experience of extraterrestrial beings or crafts and those of similarly minded people around the globe.
The difference in obviously earth-made vessels and vessels made using the technology of alien races is obvious in construction and appearance. While man-made ships have hard lines, visible riveting, and external plumbing systems, ships made with the construction knowledge of advanced beings are smooth and rounded without visible signs of the construction process. It could be that with the information learned from collecting alien tech recovered on Earth, scientists have been successful in recreating the engineering feats of our extraterrestrial neighbors.
It is certain that there are things not easily explained navigating the skies around the world. Perhaps mankind is further along in their development of airspace travel than those in power would like us to believe. Whether the base for alien technology research is at the popular Area 51 or nestled within a secluded mountain range in rural Nevada, those with inquiring minds are keeping their watchful eyes open for signs of the truth.

THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN QUANTUM PHYSICS SHOWS REALITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN QUANTUM PHYSICS SHOWS REALITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
All of the major theories of science are predicated on the idea that everything in this world is formed from building blocks of material particles. However, new advances in the fascinating and ever-expanding field of quantum physics suggest that this long-held assumption might be completely wrong.
THE WORLD IS COMPOSED OF ENERGY, NOT OF MATTER
New experiments and studies conducted in laboratories such as CERN seem to suggest that everything is actually composed of energy rather than material particles, including human beings.
Researchers examining the behavior of particles on the quantum level have found through various experiments with particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN that the building blocks of matter appear to be composed of pure energy.
These experiments have also yielded some incredibly interesting results about the way sub-atomic particles behave when exposed to different interactions and observations. It has been found that when these particles are being observed, they begin to act as physical units. However, when they are left unobserved for any period of time, they act as energy waves. This has suggested to many theoretical physicists that the material world is held together by consciousness rather than material reality.
Perhaps even more interestingly, researchers have also discovered that everything in the universe appears to be connected. This concept, which is referred to as quantum entanglement demonstrates that once particles have interacted with each other on one occasion, then they are irrevocably connected to one another and will respond to each other’s energetic cues. This response occurs no matter how physically distant the two particles are from one another. Given that all of the particles currently in existence have been present in the universe since the Big Bang, it seems logical to assume that every single particle in the universe is connected in this manner.
The scientific theories that explain the bizarre behavior of particles on the quantum level are still in progress, and a great deal more research will need to be conducted before researchers truly understand what these observations mean. However, it is certain that the discoveries relating to quantum physics over the past few years have the capacity to forever change the way that human beings understand and interact with the universe.
Another chapter in the “Aliens” saga is about to be released, and that gives director and “Alien” franchise founder Ridley Scott a chance to talk to the media about aliens again. This time he is warning people not to mess with any visitors from advanced civilizations or else you might be “taken out.”

First, I have to brag a bit. Sorry. But as I write this I am excitedly awaiting a sneak peek of “Alien: Covenant,” the second prequel to the legendary franchise. While writing is not always lucrative, it can get you some perks, like early press movie screenings. The movie is set to officially release in the U.S. on May 19.
I am not as used to thrillers as I was when the first “Alien” movies came out, or even the first prequel, “Prometheus,” so I hope I do not squeal in the theater, or worse, wet myself in terror. This one is supposed to be pretty scary.
Even scarier than watching aliens wreak havoc on innocent human colonists seeking to find a new life on an extraterrestrial planet is the real-life prospect of getting annihilated by visitors from outer space.
“I believe in superior beings. I think it is certainly likely,” Scott recently told Agence France-presse (AFP). “An expert I was talking to at NASA said to me, ‘Have you ever looked in the sky at night? You mean to tell me we are it?’ That’s ridiculous.”
However, if you “see a big thing in the sky,” Scott says you better run for it. Because, according to Scott, “they are a lot smarter than we are, and if you are stupid enough to challenge them you will be taken out in three seconds.”
In his movies, Scott’s aliens dispatch humans even faster than that.
This, of course, is not the first time Scott has shared his ideas about extraterrestrial life. In the first of the “Alien” prequels, “Prometheus,” suggested that life on earth was seeded by an intelligent alien species. This idea is the focus of the television series Ancient Aliens, and was referred to as the “ancient astronaut theory” in the 70s. It was popularized by a series of books written by Eric van Daniken. Books that Scott has apparently read.
NASA and the Vatican agree that is almost mathematically impossible that we can be where we are today without there being a little help along the way . . . That’s what we’re looking at (in the film), at some of Eric van Daniken’s ideas of how did we humans come about.
One of my favorite scenes from “Prometheus” is when the protagonists are landing their spaceship in a valley surrounded by mountains. It is a beautiful shot. At the far end of the valley is a mountain that looks like an ancient extraterrestrial ruin, and, of course, it turned out it was.

Scott’s reference to the growing belief that life must exist elsewhere in the universe, coupled with the burgeoning private space industry, makes his version of the future more and more likely. The idea that humans may discover ancient alien relics one day, like in the landing scene, fuels my deep interest in these topics. I just hope that when, or if, we do discovery intelligent alien life, it has more regard for us earthlings than the aliens in Scott’s movies.
Fortunately, I would argue, most scientists do not share Scott’s pessimistic outlook on our galactic neighbors. Sure, Stephen Hawking is often talking about how aliens might treat us like the Europeans treated Native-Americans, but others, such as Carl Sagan and Michio Kaku disagree. In fact, Time Magazine recently posted an article on why scientist do not think aliens will eat us.
So sleep tight tonight, and do not fear being mauled by aliens (fingers crossed). However, I will not blame you if you take Scott’s advice and run the opposite direction if you see a UFO. Better safe than sorry, right?

This UFO was seen over the ocean during a cruise to Belgium from the UK. Strangely enough, the UFO also has to small craft that came out of it and are flying away. Since the ocean covers 75% of the Earths surface and since UFOs are air tight and fly in space, it just stands to reason that UFOs can also travel under water (slower of course). It also stands to reason that 75% of all aliens and UFOs come from the ocean too. Its just logical.

Eyewitness states:
I was on a cruise from Southampton (UK)to Zeebrugge (Belgium). On the Saturday 6th May 2017 at 13.45 I took a picture of the cruise ship from inside the coach (through the window). At the time I did not notice anything in the sky. When we got back on the ship I was going through the pictures and saw the object. The picture was taken on a Samsung S7 Ed

These awesome UFOs were caught by Youtube user UFOnearSun. For those who are new to all this, UFO researchers look for the UFOs that are near the sun, because two Russian scientists about 10 years ago came out and told the world about many large moon and Earth size UFOs that orbit the sun and make erratic path changes like making 90 degree hard turns, suddenly speeding up, or even reversing course. This announcement all happened before Youtube, so no records exit today, however there are many of us that remember the Russian announcement from that day.
Scientists Dug 12 km Into Our Planet—What They Found Left Me Speechless [VIDEO]
Scientists Dug 12 km Into Our Planet—What They Found Left Me Speechless [VIDEO]
Some call it the ‘Door to Hell’. At 12,262 meters the Kola Superdeep Borehole is the deepest artificial point on our planet. No one expected these discoveries.
There are some who firmly believe the human race knows more about distant galaxies and alien planets located light years away from Earth than what lies beneath the surface of our planet.
Curiously, it took the Voyager 1 spacecraft nearly 26 years to exit our solar system, which is about the same amount of time scientists on Earth needed to penetrate 12 kilometers into our planet’s surface.
After more than two decades, scientists created the Kola Superdeep Borehole and a drill depth of more than 7.5 miles (12 kilometers).
The Kola Superdeep Borehole reached 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) in 1989 becoming the deepest artificial point on our planet.
To put that into perspective, the Kola Superdeep Borehole descends further than the deepest point of the ocean, which lies at nearly 6.8 miles (11 kilometers).
Well, after 26 years of intensive drilling efforts, experts found that there’s a LOT of water down there. Scientists discovered hot mineralized water almost everywhere down the drilling path.
But not only is there water down there, scientists discovered the Earth has Gas. Not that type of gas. Scientists found, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and even carbon dioxide (from microbes) all along the borehole.
One of the greatest surprises was that experts found there is no basalt under the continent’s granite. Scientists believed that at 9,000 meters the granite would give way to basalt. However, to their surprise, it doesn’t.
Furthermore, scientists discovered there are FOSSILS in granite located around 6,700 meters below the surface.
In addition to the above, scientists found that the temperature at the bottom of the hole reached a staggering 180 degrees celsius, officially too hot to continue, and rightfully earning the nickname ‘Door to Hell’.
“By far the most riveting discovery from the project, however, was the detection of microscopic plankton fossils in rocks over 2 billion years old, found four miles beneath the surface,”reports Bryan Nelson from Mother Nature Network.
“These ‘microfossils’ represented about 24 ancient species, and were encased in organic compounds which somehow survived the extreme pressures and temperatures that exist so far beneath the Earth.”
The project was officially terminated in 2005, leaving only a rusted metal cap as a marker of its existence.
De wolken zijn iets anders dan op aarde. Zo bestaan ze niet uit water, maar uit methaan.
Naast de wolkenbanden vallen ook de donkere vlekken op het noordelijk halfrond van Saturnus’ maan op. Het zijn de meren en zeeën die Titan rijk is. Ook deze zijn gevuld met methaan en ethaan in plaats van water.
Cassini maakte de foto afgelopen weekend. De ruimtesonde passeerde de maan toen op een afstand van zo’n 488.000 kilometer.

De laatste keer dat Cassini met opzet rakelings langs Titan scheerde, was eind april. Cassini scheerde toen op een afstand van zo’n 979 kilometer over de maan heen. Zo dicht zal Cassini – wiens missie in september tot een einde komt – niet meer bij Titan in de buurt komen. Maar als zich – vanaf een veel grotere afstand – een kans voordoet om de maan te bestuderen, zal Cassini die grijpen. En dat deed Cassini dus ook afgelopen weekend.
De sonde houdt Titan onder meer in de gaten, omdat de zomer zich aandient op het noordelijk halfrond van de maan. En onderzoekers willen natuurlijk graag weten of dat veranderingen op de maan teweegbrengt. Naarmate de zomer dichterbij komt, hadden de onderzoekers wel verwacht dat het aantal wolken zou toenemen. Maar enigszins verrassend is dat we die wolken ook op lagere breedtes op het noordelijk halfrond zien ontstaan.
Op deze foto zien we ook donkere vlekken nabij de evenaar. Het zijn duinlandschappen. Wat verder opvalt is de donkere vlek ten noorden van die duinlandschappen die richting het noordoosten lijkt te zijn uitgesmeerd. Het is waarschijnlijk een gebied dat bedekt is met donker stof dat zich op sommige plekken in duintjes verzameld heeft.

UFO captured on video by drone over North Carolina
UFO captured on video by drone over North Carolina
A North Carolina witness at Ayden reported discovering a UFO in video shot from a drone, according to testimony in Case 80053 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The 59-year-old witness is retired from the USAF with a 20-year military career who shot the footage at 2:12 p.m. on October 26, 2016.

“I thought I had seen it all,” the witness stated.“This footage took me back. I was flying my aerial camera from Ayden District Park. The skies were clear with unlimited visibility. I did not witness this object first hand; it wasn’t until I reviewed the 4K footage on my 4K TV that I first spotted the object on video.”
The witness explained the footage.
“I shoot in 4K/30fps and you can view this object in 10 frames as it flies towards and passes under my drone. During these 10 frames of viewing, this object travels three-quarter to one mile in one-third of a second – about 10,000 mph. The object appears to be solid and emitting its own light, or reflecting light.”

The file size prevented the witness from uploading the video with his report and it was then posted on YouTube.
MUFON North Carolina Field Investigator Sanford Davis closed this case as an Unknown.
“This anomaly was neither observed or experienced firsthand,” Davis stated in his report.“It was observed as the witness was reviewing aerial drone footage.The whole sighting occurs within a third of a second – a streak arising in the background, streaking across the screen before disappearing in the foreground. The film slowed down, it appears as a white dot, flatting out somewhat into a ‘light disk’ right before it disappears off screen. Our own MUFON photo resource person reviewed the video without a definitive conclusion. A drone flying underneath was considered, then a shadow, then a refection or projection of some overhead object, then a glare, and finally a glitch in the drone camera. No one explanation stands out.”

Will sending selfies to Jupiter moon get the attention of an E.T.?
Will sending selfies to Jupiter moon get the attention of an E.T.?
by Louis Sahagun, Los Angeles Times
The Galileo spacecraft took this image of Europa, which is about the size of Earth's moon, in 1996. Credit: NASA.
Emcee Tom O'Key seemed giddy as dozens of guests filed into an outdoor theater in this Mojave Desert town on a recent Saturday night to learn about an icy moon of Jupiter and take a stab at connecting with whatever - or whomever - may be living there.
"We're sending selfies to Europa here tonight, folks," O'Key told those who had gathered in the Joshua Tree Astronomy Arts Theater. "Take a moment to reach out to the cosmos and say, 'We here on Earth care.'"
Sponsored by the Southern California Desert Video Astronomers, the public program featured a documentary, 3-D holographic projections, views through telescopes and what was believed to be the first opportunity to send video selfies to a moon of Jupiter that NASA scientists have identified as one of the likeliest homes of extraterrestrial life in our solar system.
Zerrin Leckey, 9, was among the first to take a few deep breaths, smile, then speak into the lens of a video camera connected to a device that converts audio and visual images into flashes of laser aimed at the moon - only 37 minutes away at light speed.
"Hi, Europa!" he said. "This is Zerrin on Earth. I'm turning 10."
Next up was Jean Mueller, 67, a retired telescope operator at the Palomar Observatory who has discovered more than 30 comets.
"I photographed everything in the sky except you, Europa," she said. "Now, I'm talking to you in person, and that's pretty nice."
The casual tone of these pioneering attempts at intragalactic communication was fine with O'Key, who didn't hesitate to note the limits of the technology in the astronomy club's "Europa is Alive!" event or "the giggle factor involved in all this."
It was O'Key, 63, a retired technical consultant in personal injury litigation cases, and Leonard Holmberg, 62, a retired developer of optics-based products, who put together the selfie-sender: "An instrument comprised of a video camera, a laptop computer, fiber-optics technology and a yellow laser that cost us about $400," O'Key said.
"We like to think we're bringing extraterrestrial adventure to everyday people," he said.
"Of course, we'd need the power of the sun to generate a coherent beam strong enough to hit Europa," Holmberg said. "But at least some of the photons in the transmissions we're sending are reaching their target. No doubt about it."
The project, Holmberg said, suggests how far technology has advanced since charismatic physicist Carl Sagan popularized the possibility of making contact with extraterrestrial life.
Sagan led a team that developed communications materials that were aboard the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes launched in 1977 to make drive-by visits to planets in this solar system and then continue on to explore space. The packages included images of a nude man and woman and musical samplings, including Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode."
O'Key and Holmberg consider themselves "Saganites," inspired by NASA's recent announcement that Europa and Saturn's moon, Enceladus, harbor all the ingredients needed for life to evolve: heat, organic material and vast oceans of water capped by ice.
"What they're doing is fine with me," said Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the nonprofit Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute based in Mountain View, Calif. "But it's fair to say we don't know if aliens are friendly, or if they even exist. If they do, will they be cute and cuddly like the one in the movie 'E.T.,' or will they be like the Kardashians?
"In that case," he continued, "we should keep a low profile. You don't want your tombstone to read: I'm responsible for the obliteration of the human race."
Jim Bell, an astronomer at Arizona State University and president of the Pasadena-based Planetary Society, described the Joshua Tree effort as "delightful."
"It's a testament," Bell said, "to the ability of every man nowadays to have access to technology that was only a dream a decade ago."
Scientists have been searching the skies for signs of alien civilizations for decades, mostly based on the premise that they, like us, would use bursts of radio and laser light we might be able to hear or see.
The SETI Institute runs an array of radio telescopes designed to act as an enormous ear capable of scanning more than a million stars over 10 billion radio frequencies. It still has not detected any signal produced by someone else out there.
The Mars lander Phoenix, launched in 2007, carried recorded greetings. A year later, NASA beamed the Beatles' "Across the Universe" at the North Star, Polaris.
In 2012, a now-defunct company leased a huge radio telescope in Carmel Valley, Calif., and offered to transmit personal messages and photos from Earth to various stars for free.
Now, there's the astronomy club led by O'Key, who as a boy liked to shine a flashlight beam at the Earth's moon knowing it would get there in 1.2 seconds.
"The only exceptional thing about our attempt to communicate with an alien world," he said, "is how easy and inexpensive it has become to give it a try."

Ridley Scott: aliens are out there and one day they'll come for us ... - modernsurvivalliving.com
In a recent interview with France Presse (AFP), #Ridley Scott, the director of "#Alien" talked about his belief in extraterrestrial species who are more advanced. He said there is a possibility that humanity could be threatened by an aggressive alien species. Scott thinks that the conflict between humans and #aliens may become reality because there are probably hundreds of more intelligent and more technologically advanced alien species in the Universe. If one of these species would get in contact with us, humans must prepare for the worst, according to the director of "Alien"..
"Alien" director thinks humanity would lose a war with aliens
Scott thinks that the reality could be worse than many science fiction scenarios. If a conflict between humans and an extraterrestrial species would escalate, humans would almost certainly lose. Scott told AFP that aliens would annihilate us in three seconds if we challenged them.
The filmmaker argued that there are estimates from experts about the possibility of having "100-200 entities" on other planets. These extraterrestrial species could follow an evolutionary model similar to one from Earth. Scott said that if representatives of such civilizations came to us first (before we get to them) then it would be better to for us to run away and hide.
"Alien" was a great success of the science fiction genre
The possibility of the existence of intelligent beings on other planets fascinates and attracts many people. For this reason it's used very often in science fiction scenarios. Ridley Scott made his own contribution to this genre, especially through the series "Alien" — which describes a contact between humans and an extraterrestrial predatory species.
The aliens from this sci-fi horror movie are a species with a remarkable adaptive capacity and with a great morphological flexibility. They are called "xenomorphs", they multiply very quickly and they are extremely effective in eliminating humans.
A new sci-fi horror movie "Alien: Covenant ", the sequel to "Prometheus" and "Alien" will premiere on May 19 this year.
Contradicted by a researcher from Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
Seth Shostak, a researcher from SETI Institute, whose goal is to search and to intercept radio communications from potential alien civilizations, disagrees with the position of the filmmaker. Shostak told Live Science that the estimation of the existence of 100 to 200 intelligent alien species is completely unsustainable.
More, the scenario in which aliens invade our solar system just to steal our resources does not have much practical support, according to the researcher from SETI Institute.
However Seth Shostak, agrees with Ridley Scott at a certain point: if an extraterrestrial civilization is able to build intergalactic vessels to bring them into the Earth's atmosphere, they certainly have a technology far superior to human technology. This means they can be dangerous.
WOW: The document revealed UFOs were still being sought by the US in 2002
The bombshell US Department of Defense files, from 2002, contains a manual on how to snap spaceships.
There are 27 pages in the document titled “DoD Instruction 5040.6, Life-Cycle Management of DoD Visual Information (VI)"
PAUL DEAN
SHOCK: Various documented sightings of UFOs in the US
“It’s actually asking for photos of damn UFOs”
Paul Dean
It contains a section on how to document UFOs.
Section 21 of Chapter 5 of the document says: "The following table concerns imagery that records UFOs and other aerial phenomena not obviously identifiable as conventional aircraft or missiles.
"The table also lists the priority assigned to each category of imagery and provides relevant handling instructions."
It says the military should make digital copies and send all media to the Defence Visual Information Center.
Paul Dean, the UFO researcher and blogger who uncovered these documents via the Freedom of Information Act, was gobsmacked.
PAUL DEAN
REVEALED: The document tells US military to document UFOs
Speaking to Mysterious Universe, he said: "What's particularly odd about that the table of what to photograph and what not to, is that it doesn’t vaguely say ‘UFOs…’
"It lays out fully both ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ with descriptors, and then ‘Aerial Phenomena…’ with descriptors."
It also blows out of the water the widely held belief the US stopped documenting and researching UFOs after the 1960s ended.
Dean points out the documents do not link UFOs to aliens.
But he adds: "How can they keep a straight face about the UFO issue when they shove it in plain English for the Armed Forces to digest.
A fascinating new book seriously tackles the question of extraterrestrial life from the perspective of leading astronomers, astrophysicists, geneticists, and neuroscientists.
Theoretical physics may be difficult and complicated, "but it does have sex appeal." So says quantum physicist Jim Al-Khalili. "It's easy to find an audience for popular science or for a TV documentary about the Big Bang or about black holes," he recently told me. Al-Khalili's work in the field has led to the fascinating new book Aliens: The World's Leading Scientists on the Search for Extraterrestrial Life, which explores what he believes is the likely possibility of alien life.
The Iraqi-born, UK-based Al-Khalili's intro opens with an anecdote: The Nobel Prize–winning physicist Enrico Fermi is jokingly discussing flying saucers with some colleagues at the Los Alamos National Laboratory when he poses a simple question: "Where is everybody?" His point, Al-Khalili writes, is that the universe is so massive and contains so many planets, that it makes little sense for Earth to be the only place where life blossomed, unless our planet is "astonishingly and unjustifiably special."
Aliens, out this week from Picador, proceeds in the way that one imagines that Fermi's conversation at Los Alamos might have: serious scientists, in occasionally cheeky dialogue with one another, acknowledging that the question they're pursuing—Is anybody out there?—has long been pursued by kookier personalities, conspiracy theorists obsessed with Area 51, and alien abductions. Instead, Al-Khalili's book offers research-driven essays by prominent astronomers, astrophysicists, geneticists, and neuroscientists, and their pieces offer a wide range of ways to think about the question of extraterrestrial life. Several astrobiologists consider what life requires and which planets and moons might have the right mix: neuroscientist Anil Seth considers the "alien" intelligence of the octopus here on Earth; cosmologist Martin Rees speculates on the possibility of humans merging with machine intelligence and setting out to explore the universe as a new cyborg species.
But for the most part, these experts are weighing in on one fundamental question: Is life special, a unique and almost impossible trick that happened here on Earth? Or is it easy, almost inevitable, a spark that just arises where the conditions are right? It's an age-old question, that, as Al-Khalili explains, we may finally have the technology to answer.

VICE: What drew you to the questions that the book addresses? Are you someone who has had a lifelong interest in the idea of aliens?
Jim Al-Khalili: It's not so much aliens, but more to do with the question of what is special about life. Probably all scientists find that topic fascinating. There are certain questions in science that we don't have answers to, which we say, those are the big questions: What was there before the universe, before the Big Bang? How did life begin on Earth? How did chemistry turn into biology? What is the nature of consciousness? These are the questions that transcend disciplines. If you get a chemist, a physicist, a biologist, a computer scientist—all of them are going to be fascinated by this.
When I was young, I suppose I was interested in aliens like anyone else. I'm a sci-fi fan. But, for me, the question was really what is so special about life—how did it start on Earth and whether it is unique to Earth.
The book is serious, but the interest in extraterrestrial life has a reputation for being pretty quirky.
Someone once told me that half the internet is devoted to conspiracy theories to do with alien abductions and UFOs. Half is probably too much, but there's so much out there, from X-Files to science fiction in movies, that it is surprising to think that scientists would treat the question of extraterrestrial life seriously at all. And that's what made this so refreshing. The book is highlighting the fact that there are lots of questions that are of interest to scientists that you can actually treat seriously. If you really want to know the possibility of whether there are little green men out there, here are the serious scientific takes on it, from all angles. So, it's meant to be of interest to the wider lay audience but dealt with in a grown-up way.
You mention that there has been a shift within the scientific community toward taking this seriously and away from the era of imagining little green men. Do you have thoughts on when and how that changed?
This shift has come about because of advances in astronomy and space exploration in the last decade or two. We have started to send probes to Mars, to the moons of the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter, and we are seriously starting to be able to study the places where there potentially could be life in our solar system. And at the same time, in the past decade, we have discovered planets around stars outside our solar system, exoplanets. Astronomy has been advancing so quickly that what was unthinkable a decade ago is now reality. We can now not only pinpoint which stars have planets going around them, but we can look at those planets and even tell whether they have an atmosphere. Just from the light passing through the atmosphere from the star that they are going around, we can study that light and that can tell us the chemical composition of the atmosphere—and that can tell us what elements, what molecules, what compounds are in that atmosphere, and would they be there naturally or would there have to be life present to have made them. So, these advances in astronomy and space exploration suddenly mean that we can actually address this question. It's got to the point now where I'm quite optimistic that in my lifetime, it's likely that we will discover life elsewhere.
Wow.
Ten years ago, I wouldn't have thought that. Now, all these things are coming together. One of the contributors in the book, [professor of evolutionary biochemistry] Nick Lane, talks about the building blocks of life. What do you need? Is there anything magical? You get molecules getting more and more complicated, and then eventually you get something that can make copies of itself, and that's the first precursor of life. Well, until recently we thought there was a missing step—"and then some magic happens"—and then you get biology from chemistry! But there seems to be no magical steps necessary. I now reckon that the consensus among most scientists is that it would be quite surprising if we don't find life elsewhere, probably within our lifetime. It might not be interesting life—it won't be men in flying saucers—it will be some form of microbial life. But, hey, for scientists that will be enough.
"Astronomy has been advancing so quickly that what was unthinkable a decade ago is now reality. It's got to the point now where I'm quite optimistic that in my lifetime, it's likely that we will discover life elsewhere."
So on the big question in the book, which is something like "is life on Earth special and unique or is it common?"—and there are great arguments posed for each side—where do you fall on that spectrum personally?
There's a wide spectrum of opinion among informed scientists. So the fact that I sit somewhere in the middle is because I've been influenced by both sides. My kind of naïve view is that we only know of life happening somewhere: on Earth. We are beginning to see that the conditions on Earth are not unique. Forgive the metaphor, but a lot of stars have to have aligned for that—we have to be the right distance from the sun, we have to have an atmosphere, we have to have a moon that gives us tides, we have to have a big planet like Jupiter that is sucking up the debris so it doesn't bombard us. But there are so many other star systems; there are so many other exoplanets, just in our galaxy alone, that there must be millions, billions of other Earths that have the conditions necessary for life. So in that sense we know we are not unique.
But that doesn't mean that we know how life got started, just because those conditions exist. We know that life began on Earth very soon after Earth cooled down enough for life to possibly exist, almost 4 billion years ago. Now, over 4 billion years ago, the Earth was just a ball of fire. It wasn't conducive to anything. So, as soon as the conditions were right for life, life got started. But it didn't develop into complex life until much, much later. So I'm of the view that life as a simple single cellular form may well be not that difficult. It may be almost ubiquitous in the universe. But multicellular life, life that could then evolve into complex organisms, some of which could develop consciousness and intelligence and civilizations—that actually may be the harder step. How hard it is, we don't know yet.
I wonder if you can talk a little bit about the role of human radio, TV, and satellite communication and how that factors into the search for alien life. Why do people assume that aliens would also use this same kind of signaling?
We're starting with the assumption with the idea that the laws of physics and the forces of nature are the same throughout the universe. We know of four of these forces. Two of them are active inside of atoms, the nuclear forces. And the only other ones are gravity and the electromagnetic force. Gravity is limited technologically, but the electromagnetic force is versatile: Light is the electromagnetic force, and radio waves are the electromagnetic force. So it's a means of sending information from one place to the other. So we're assuming that whatever form life takes elsewhere, even if its not carbon based—it could be something really beyond our imagination—we still think they will make use of electromagnetic forces. It is a potentially universal way of communicating.
So if we are announcing our existence to the rest of the universe, then it may be that life elsewhere that is doing the same thing. Which is why the whole SETI program is about listening out into the universe to hear some electromagnetic signal that we don't think could have just happened naturally. Of course, we've only been announcing our existence to the world for about 100 years or so, when we first developed radio. So our electromagnetic signals have only extended out to a radius of 100 light years. And actually there aren't that many star systems within 100 light years. The universe is vast—there's billions of stars in our own galaxy—but there are only a handful within that range. Of course, an alien civilization may have been announcing their existence to the universe millions of years ago, for all we know, so those signals, if we do receive those signals, they may have traveled across vast distances—it won't mean that we can then say, "Hi, we're here," and then make contact with them. But just the knowledge that there is life out there somewhere would be profound.
