Europe-wide Radio Net in Aliens Search

submitted by sudha 5 months, 7 days ago

buzzle.com — Scientists are finalizing plans to link radio wave detectors in five countries and create a device sensitive enough to pick up signals from worlds the other side of the galaxy. By connecting banks of detectors in fields across Britain, France, Holland, Sweden and Germany, astronomers aim to create a radio telescope that will have the accuracy of a machine the size of Europe. They believe it could solve some of the universe's most important secrets - including the discovery of radio broadcasts from intelligent extraterrestrials. 'This system works by collecting radio waves over a range of frequencies,' said cosmologist Robert Nichol of Portsmouth University. 'These can then be analyzed using arrays of computers which can identify patterns from the data streaming from our detectors. 'Some of these signals will reveal information about the early universe, for example. However, broadcasts by alien intelligences would also be revealed by our computers because we will, primarily, be collecting radio signals. Signals that have regular patterns will give themselves away as the possible handiwork of extraterrestrials. Such work is a bonus, however. The main work of the system is basic research,' added Nichol. The project - known as Lofar (low frequency array) - was launched in Holland several years ago, but has attracted the attention of other European astronomers. All have agreed to build their own banks of detectors, which can then be linked to those in Holland. Britain is committed to building one set, while requests for money for another three have been put to research councils. Several sites for Britain's first array are being considered, although most scientists expect it to be built at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, where the giant radio dish is threatened with closure because of funding cuts. By building the Lofar antenna, which represents the future of radio astronomy, ground-breaking research can continue at the site, say scientists. Lofar arrays exploit the fact that metals pick up radio waves and convert them into weak electric signals. In the past, dishes were pointed at heavenly objects so that their radio waves could be focused on a central receiver and generate a signal strong enough to be analyzed. Lofar uses a very different approach. 'Instead of moving a huge dish around the sky and pointing it at a star or galaxy or nebula, you simply cover a field with sheets of metal. The metal will pick up radio waves from all over the sky,' s read more...

buzzle.com — Aliens have often been in the news. They have always been surrounded by mystery and interest of people all around the world. People have claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Some have claimed to have actually seen them. You might find it interesting to browse through some alien abduction stories. But there has been no conclusive evidence for the idea that aliens exist. Is there a proof that aliens are real? Aliens sightings have mostly involved sights of ape-like creatures or humanoid figures seen in the dark. At times, people have found blood or hair at the locations where aliens were sighted. But there is a high probability that these sightings were of bears or apes. Possibly, people mistook bears or apes as aliens. Alien sightings could have probably been a result of human imagination accompanied by fear. Media has always portrayed aliens as having humanoid figures traveling in disk-shaped vehicles. Aliens have since long been depicted in films. The media image of aliens has perhaps stressed in the minds of the common masses. It makes them believe in the reality of aliens. Aliens portrayed in literature have always influenced young minds. But has media been able to produce a proof of alien existence? Probably, not! Aliens sightings have mostly been accompanied by sightings of light in the night sky. People who claim to have seen aliens have claimed to have seen mysterious lights in the sky. Some of them have also believed that the lights came from the spaceships used by the aliens. Disk-like objects traveling across the sky have often been taken as aliens’ vehicles. People have seen certain unidentified objects floating in the sky and called them aliens. Researchers say that some of these sightings might have been a result of certain astronomical phenomena. Unless, the aliens come to Earth and interact with us, we may not be able to say for sure that aliens are real. Don’t you think so? read more...

Types of Aliens

submitted by sudha 5 months, 7 days ago

buzzle.com — Imagine you are driving in a lone desert and you spotted a huge bright disc shaped UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) landing ahead and the next moment, you saw tiny little creatures stepping out. What will be your reaction? According to science fiction, aliens are extraterrestrial creatures from other planets having humanoid or reptilian characters. Since there are evidences of the presence of water on some of the planets, there are possibilities of life on those planets. Thus, the argument is "extraterrestrial life exists". There are also abduction stories where many people reported to have been abducted by the aliens. Reports are taken from abductees and eyewitnesses in a hypnotized state. However, eyewitness reports are not solid to prove the existence of aliens. Some believe that aliens have existed long time back and they built the "Pyramids of Egypt". Thus, it is a big question "whether aliens actually exist or not" and the answer is left to everybody Types of Aliens It is a common belief that aliens have bigger heads and are quadruped. Let us see some of the types of aliens based on reports shared by people who claim to have a close encounter with the so-called "aliens". Grey Aliens (Zeta) - Grey aliens have various subtypes depending upon their subtype and the services that they provide. Altogether, they are commonly known as "greys". These are the aliens who abducted Betty and Barney Hill in 1961. According to the eyewitnesses, they are amphibians and look like created clones. They are 3.5-4.5 feet tall with dark grey skin. They have large head with no hair and are supported by a thin neck. Greys have huge black "wraparound" eyes, nose may be present or absent based on the subtype. Their hands are long enough to reach down to the knees but comparatively their legs are shorter. They all have reduced body structures. Many abductees reported that they are emotionless and feed on human and animal fluid. Reptilians (Reptoids) - Reptilians are highly advanced creatures similar to reptiles on earth. Many abductees reported that reptoids are cruel and dangerous to human beings. They are similar to the greys in size and stature but are more frightening than the greys. Their head is conical in shape; some have hair, while others have scales. They also have an undersized tail. The leader of the reptilians is known as "draco" and it is believed that they have special wings. According to the abductees, they want to have control over human beings read more...

Roswell Throws 60th Anniversary Alien Bash

submitted by sudha 5 months, 7 days ago

buzzle.com — Apparently, the truth is still out there. During the 60th anniversary celebration of the infamous 1947 UFO crash landing at Area 51, visitors to Roswell, New Mexico might just find it. "The Roswell Incident", as it became known, occurred in July 1947, just outside the city limits. W.W. "Mack" Brazel, a local rancher, went out to check on his sheep and found some strange debris. When discussing his find with neighbors, several suggested that Brazel may have found pieces of a flyer saucer. Soon after, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a press release stating that pieces of a "crashed disk" were recovered nearby. The Roswell Daily Record ran a front page story claiming that a flying saucer had been captured. The story spread like wildfire. A second, revised release was soon sent out from RAAF, stating that the recovered material was a weather balloon, not a flying disk as had been previously reported. The controversy exploded, complete with suspicions of a government cover-up, and Roswell stepped into its role of Alien Capitol of the world. The Amazing Roswell UFO Festival and 60th Anniversary of the Roswell Incident will be held July 5-8, 2007. The four-day event will feature guest speakers, tours, live entertainment, authors, alien-related celebs, family-friendly activities, and perhaps even an alien abduction or two. The City of Roswell, which obviously takes pride in its celebrity, will be coordinating the annual festival. 2007 UFO Festival Committee is working alongside Roswell Mayor Sam LaGrone to create an event that will be entertaining to everyone – casual spectators and conspiracy theorists alike. "This year, we want the festival to be all-inclusive. We invite everyone with an interest in UFOs, aliens and outer space to be a part of the festival as a presenter, a guest, or both," said Mayor LaGrone. City officials predict 50,000 visitors to this year’s festival. In addition to the annual festival, Roswell is in the midst of planning a UFO-themed amusement park. The park, tentatively called "Alien Apex Resort", will contain an indoor rollercoaster that takes passengers on a simulated alien abduction. At least it’s supposed to be simulated. The privately managed park could open as early as 2010. For those who are wondering if the festival is right for them, the city's website should put their minds at ease. It says: "Roswell has something to offer all of our special visitors, whether from this planet, or from a distant galaxy. read more...

Nasa Told to Solve 'ufo Crash' X-file

submitted by sudha 5 months, 7 days ago

buzzle.com — For four decades, residents of the tiny Pennsylvania town of Kecksburg have told their story of strange blue lights in the sky one winter's evening and a fireball crashing into woods. On 9 December, 1965, they say, they saw armed soldiers cordoning off the area and a large metallic acorn-shaped object bearing strange hieroglyphics driven off at speed on the back of a lorry. They talk of menacing plain-clothes officials visiting homes and warning local people not to tell anyone of what they saw. Until now the US government has denied that anything sinister took place. It has maintained that a thorough search of the woods by the air force, the only federal agency to have acknowledged it was there, found nothing. But now Nasa has been ordered to examine its X-Files to solve the mystery. Steve McConnell, Nasa's public liaison officer, has admitted two boxes of papers from the time of the Kecksburg incident are missing. The episode has parallels to the 1947 Roswell incident, when a UFO was said to have landed in New Mexico. 'For so many years, a lot of good people in Pennsylvania were told by their government that what they had to say was a lie or that they were hallucinating,' said Leslie Kean, a journalist who launched a lawsuit four years ago to force Nasa to open its archives. Washington judge Emmett Sullivan refused to accept Nasa's claim that the papers had been lost. He gave it until the end of the year to examine its records. 'Something came down that night,' said Kean. 'Nasa has been stonewalling and now it's required to do the search it didn't do in the first place. It's a victory for those patriotic people who didn't like being told that they were making things up.' Stan Gordon, a UFO investigator living close to the site, interviewed several witnesses. He said: 'It's interesting that [witnesses say] it was made of one solid piece of metal with no panels or rivets, and that it was moving relatively slowly and made almost a controlled landing. 'I have no doubt the government knows a lot more about this than it has revealed to the public.' read more...
