'Dead alien' found in Siberian snow

It may just be an elaborate hoax, but a video has surfaced showing the body of an alien found dead in snow in Siberia.

The slender, badly damaged corpse was found lying on a bed of snow with its head to one side and mouth slightly open, the Daily Mail reported.
The video, posted on April 17 on YouTube, has already had over 100,000 views and showed the body of the unidentified "creature".

Irkutsk, Russia is apparently a known UFO hotspot, and UFO believers think the body was left behind by alien visitors after an accident, or was missed in a clean-up by the Russian government as part of some sort of alien cover-up.

Dozens of UFO sightings are reported every year in the area, and only last month there were reports of an unidentified object hurtling into the nearby Irkutsk region of Siberia.

"We couldn't believe it when we saw it. And what was spooky is that there was no sign of the spaceship. Perhaps that was taken away and the body overlooked," said Igor Molovic, one of the pair that uploaded the video.
However, not everyone is a true believer.

Some believe it is actually a carefully crafted model of an alien's body, and not the real deal.

However, many UFO lovers still believe.

"It's so lame how people always get thrilled by having another excuse to shout 'Fake! fake!' every time something weird shows up. Unless proven otherwise, this is in fact plausible," posted one user.

Another said; "If this is fake - then they are masters at models/puppets. I think it's real - one of the very few, great vid."

UFO sighting in Gold Coast captured on video

Washington, May 5: A UFO that was sighted in the Gold Coast of Australia has been captured on a 10-minute video.

Brisbane man Sean Coulter was winding down from a night of partying at Tallai with 10 mates on February 6 when he spotted the strange light.

The friends had hired an isolated property for a 21st birthday party and, after their big night, thought they were seeing things.

After watching the strange light moving about for 15 minutes, they decided to film it, capturing 10 minutes of footage.

"It was ... in front of the clouds and there wasn't a star to be seen, just this bright white light," the Courier Mail quoted Coulter as saying.

"It was moving left to right and was only a couple of hundred metres away. The whole thing was really eerie. It was like it was watching us," he said.

Coulter said the light appeared to slowly move away from them and draw clouds towards it, followed by a flash electrical storm, and when the clouds cleared, he said the object was gone.

"I've never seen anything like it before. It was out of this world. Some of my mates that saw it are the biggest sceptics you've ever met but after seeing it they believe in UFOs," he explained.

"I work as a traffic controller so I spend a lot of time outside at night and see lots of things in the sky. This was like nothing else," he added.

UFO Research Queensland is examining Coulter's footage.

A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority said he was not aware of recent UFO reports on the Coast.

Government sues Apollo 14 astronaut over lunar camera

The U.S. government has sued a former NASA astronaut to recover a camera used to explore the moon's surface during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission after seeing it slated for sale in a New York auction.
The lawsuit, filed in Miami federal court on Wednesday, accuses Edgar Mitchell of illegally possessing the camera and attempting to sell it for profit.
In March, NASA learned that the British auction house Bonhams was planning to sell the camera at an upcoming Space History Sale, according to the suit.
The item was labeled "Movie Camera from the Lunar Surface" and billed as one of two cameras from the Apollo 14's lunar module Antares. The lot description said the item came "directly from the collection" of pilot Edgar Mitchell and had a pre-sale estimate of $60,000 to $80,000, the suit said.
Mitchell was a lunar module pilot on Apollo 14, which launched its nine-day mission in 1971 under the command of Alan Shepard. The sixth person to walk on the moon, Mitchell is now retired and runs a website selling his autographed picture.
He has made headlines in the past for his stated belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life.

"All equipment and property used during NASA operations remains the property of NASA unless explicitly released or transferred to another party," the government suit said, adding NASA had no record of the camera being given to Mitchell.

The suit said the government had made repeated requests to Mitchell and his lawyer to return the camera but received no response.

Mitchell's lawyer, Donald Jacobson, said NASA management was aware of and approved Mitchell's ownership of the camera 40 years ago.

"Objects from the lunar trips to the moon were ultimately mounted and then presented to the astronauts as a gift after they had helped NASA on a mission," Jacobson said.

Bonhams said in an emailed statement that the camera had been slated to be auctioned off in May when it learned about the ownership dispute from NASA. The auction house withdrew the camera from sale "pending further discussion between NASA and the consignor," a Bonhams spokesperson said.

The government is asking the court to stop Mitchell from selling the camera to anyone, to order its return and to declare that the United States has "good, clean and exclusive title" to the camera.

NASA Telescope Confirms Alien Planet in Habitable Zone

NASA Telescope Confirms Alien Planet in Habitable Zone

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has confirmed the discovery of its first alien world in its host star's habitable zone — that just-right range of distances that could allow liquid water to exist — and found more than 1,000 new explanet candidates, researchers announced today (Dec. 5).

The new finds bring the Kepler space telescope's total haul to 2,326 potential planets in its first 16 months of operation.These discoveries, if confirmed, would quadruple the current tally of worlds known to exist beyond our solar system, which recently topped 700.

The potentially habitable alien world, a first for Kepler, orbits a star very much like our own sun. The discovery brings scientists one step closer to finding a planet like our own — one which could conceivably harbor life, scientists said.

Shiraz Brother, a friend of mind asked me question regarding the UFO, I have my own opinion in answering those question but since you are familiar with this topic I would rather ask you this?

1)Why is the countries government trying to hide the existing of UFO for example the USA, while on the other hand we have their proof of existing?

2) Why does the NASA stopped going to the Moon after their first landing that 40 years ago but today they only send probes?

Excellent questions brother alamut ...Ima try to explain em in simple terms

1)Why is the countries government trying to hide the existing of UFO for example the USA, while on the other hand we have their proof of existing?
The most common reason that you would hear from the UFOlogists brother is that people around the world [if they get to know that they are not alone in this universe] would panic and this will lead to the distruction of all major religions

But since you asked me to give my input I would say just like we have good people and bad people....why wouldnt be it possible that there might be good aliens and bad aliens ????.......I think all this so called technology usa has acquired is more foreign to most of the countries...for ex : the drones and what not !!!

I personally think that there is this evil race from outer planet that is helping the US govt in gaining world power...ie there should be only one world govt /one economy /one currency etc etc....If that happens then the US govt can control all the strings i.e the value of dollar....technology and so on

In order to help stabilise this world it might be possible that the so called space brothers might have intervened and passed on the necessary information to other nations so that they could defend themselves....For ex : russia, pakistan, india ...they all are nuclear armed , so it would be a complete suicide for US to crush them

But the main intention of this country is world domination....luckily today we have this congressman from texas Dr. Ron Paul who'z trying hard to turn this country back....bcoz not only we are facing this financial bubble but also we're getting closer n closer @ war with iran and when this happens my friend be ready to go back to which ever country you came for because this officially would start WW III
2) Why does the NASA stopped going to the Moon after their first landing that 40 years ago but today they only send probes?
These fools wanted to blow up the moon....Im not lying you can do some research brother , its a fact !!!.....The so called van allen belt is a place or zones where all the sun's dust particles are trapped by the earth's magnetic field...you do know that earth has its own magnetic field right ???

This so called belts vary in the frequency of radiation , well that depends again on the solar flares of the sun but generally its anywhere from 2000 to 20,000 kilometers above the earth....This radiation would crush the space capsule because the amount of radiation would be soooo immense that the whole capsule would be a giant ball of fire

http://lifeng.lamost.org/courses/astrot ... T30704.HTM

The fact is my brother, we never went on the moon :lol: and we never will because the amount of radiation in space is unbearable for us humans.

why do you think we send rovers and robots on the moon, mars , saturn and even mercury....well its because our body cannot survive radiation and the biggest problem is that neither you can smell radiation or see radiation.....thats allah's[swt] way of saying dont mess with me :D

The only way we can travel in space brother is when humankind will live in peace and try to elevate themselves spiritually just like our ancestors did !!!

the technology that we come up with today has already been developed by our ancestors in the past ....we are just following their footsteps brother, its just that they elevated themselves and became a part of universal brotherhood and we fools are stuckin these stupid wars !!

Hope I answered your question

Mr. Virani,
That is absolutely right, I agree with your above Quote our ancestors were very advance in science and technology then today's science and technology, there are many proof for that look the Pyramids, Look the ancient planes but one question for you yaar, if they were so advance in science and technology then why they vanished?

Stephen Hawking Joins Russian Entrepreneur’s Search for Alien Life

Extending his idea of philanthropy beyond the Earth and even the human species, Yuri Milner, the Russian Internet entrepreneur and founder of science giveaways like the annual $3 million Fundamental Physics Prizes, announced in London on Monday that he would spend at least $100 million in the next decade to search for signals from alien civilizations.

The money for Breakthrough Listen, as Mr. Milner calls the effort, is one of the biggest chunks of cash ever proffered for the so far fruitless quest for cosmic companionship known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI. It will allow astronomers to see the kinds of radar used for air traffic control from any of the closest 1,000 stars, and to detect a laser with the power output of a common 100-watt light bulb from the distance of the nearest stars, some four light-years away, according to Mr. Milner’s team.

It also guarantees bounteous observing time on some of the world’s biggest radio telescopes — a rarity for SETI astronomers who are used to getting one night a year.

“It’s just a miracle,” said Frank Drake, an emeritus professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who joined Mr. Milner and others, including the cosmologist Stephen Hawking, in a news conference Monday at the Royal Society in London.

Dan Werthimer, a longtime SETI researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, said, “This is beyond my wildest dreams.”

In a prepared statement at the announcement, Dr. Hawking said atoms and the forces of nature and the dance of galaxies could explain the lights in the sky, but not the lights on Earth. “In an infinite universe there must be other occurrences of life,” he said. “Or do our lights wander a lifeless universe? Either way, there is no bigger question.”

Mr. Milner also announced a $1 million competition, called Breakthrough Message, to create messages that could be sent if we knew there was anybody out there to receive them.

These could be propitious times for ET. The relentless improvement of electronics and computing power have made it possible to build receivers 50 times as sensitive as before, relieving astronomers of the need to guess what channels an extraterrestrial being might broadcast on. The astronomers can listen to all of them at once.

NASA’s Kepler spacecraft and other hunters of planets circling distant stars have determined that there are billions of possible habitats for other beings in our galaxy.

Dr. Drake started it all in 1960 when he pointed a radio telescope at a pair of sunlike stars hoping to hear a “hello.” He heard nothing, which has pretty much characterized the effort ever since.

No amount of cosmic silence, however, has been able to discourage astronomers who theorize that radio signals can bridge the gulfs between stars more cheaply than spacecraft, allowing distant species to communicate by a sort of cosmic ham radio or galactic Internet. And, they note, only a few thousand of the Milky Way’s 200 billion stars have been sampled, on only a few of the billions of possible radio channels — a minuscule piece of what they call the “cosmic haystack.”

A simple squeal or squawk, or an incomprehensible stream of numbers by a radio antenna pointed at one of those stars, would change history.

“We have a responsibility to not stop searching,” Mr. Milner said in an interview. “It should always be happening in the background. This is the biggest question. We should be listening.”

Mr. Milner has recruited a small coterie of scientists to run the project. Among them are Martin Rees of Cambridge University, Britain’s astronomer royal, who will lead an advisory group; Peter Worden, former director of the NASA Ames Research Laboratory, home of the Kepler effort; Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, a renowned exoplanet hunter; Dr. Werthimer; Andrew Siemion, also of Berkeley; and Ann Druyan, a co-author of both “Cosmos” television series and widow of the astronomer Carl Sagan.

According to Dr. Werthimer, about a third of Mr. Milner’s money will go toward building new receiving equipment, and about a third will go toward hiring students and other astronomers.

The rest will be used to secure observing time. For now, that effort will include two of the largest radio telescopes in the world: the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Csiro Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia.

Both have had financial troubles in an era of flat budgets, and have been seeking partners to help keep the observatories running. Mr. Milner has agreed to underwrite 20 percent of the cost in return for 20 percent of the observing time.

“We could never get enough telescope time,” Dr. Drake recalled. “Yuri can fix that with the click of a pen.”

Dr. Werthimer, who will oversee the analysis of data, said it would be open to all, including the nine million users of SETI@home, a free screen saver program that processes SETI data in the background.

Not that any of this guarantees success. But, Mr. Milner said, “it’s not crazy.”

In 10 or 20 years, NASA could have telescopes in space that could determine the composition of a remote planet’s atmosphere, he said. The presence of oxygen would be a smoking gun for life.

An advanced civilization may have already done that and targeted Earth, as a likely candidate for life, with a cosmic beacon.

Why would any species do such a thing? Ask why we build pyramids or presidential libraries.

Dr. Drake said his budget for the first radio search was $2,000. “We’ve come a long way,” he said.

Quebec leads country in UFO sightings

WINNIPEG - The 2015 Canadian UFO Survey says Quebec leads the country when it comes to sightings of unidentified flying objects.

The annual survey by Winnipeg-based Ufology Research was released Monday and says last year had the second-largest number of sightings in the last three decades, with 1,267.

The year with the most UFO reports — a whopping 1,981 — was 2012, which was also supposed to be the year the world ended, according to the Mayan calendar.

Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland reported more UFO sightings last year than the year before, but Quebec alone is responsible for about 35 per cent of all reports in 2015.

That's way up from previous years, when Quebec's percentage was between five and 15 per cent.

There were 97 reports in Montreal alone, followed by 78 in Toronto and 69 in Vancouver; Edmonton was a distant fourth with just 36 sightings.

The study said the typical sighting lasts about 16 minutes and more than half of the reports were of simple lights in the sky.

The study noted the number of reported UFO sightings remains high and suggested several reasons why, including more secret military flights, better access to reporting sightings, or "even that the downturn in the economy is leading to an increased desire by some people to look skyward for assistance."

The study also acknowledged "there is no incontrovertible evidence that some UFO cases involve extraterrestrial contact. The continued reporting of UFOs by the public and the yearly increase in numbers of UFO reports suggests a need for further examination of the phenomenon by social, medical and/or physical scientists."

Stephen Hawking wants to use lasers to propel a tiny spaceship to Alpha Centauri

When famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Russian tech tycoon Yuri Milner announced a $100 million hunt for alien life last year, they pledged to inject a whole lot of funding and brain power into the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. At a news conference Tuesday, the duo announced another $100 million moonshot -- or more accurately a starshot.

It's the latest project of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation, a Silicon Valley-funded group that currently gives the biggest prizes of any scientific award. The 2015 initiative (which is still ongoing) focused on the detection of Earth-like planets and alien signals. Breakthrough Starshot will fund the development of a light-propelled nanocraft -- a spaceship just a few grams in size that would fly through space like ships in the sea, with sails pushed by the physical force of light particles instead of by wind. Its destination will be Alpha Centauri, our closest neighboring star system. Once there, it could try to sense habitable conditions -- or even life -- on the planets.

Yes, There Have Been Aliens

LAST month astronomers from the Kepler spacecraft team announced the discovery of 1,284 new planets, all orbiting stars outside our solar system. The total number of such “exoplanets” confirmed via Kepler and other methods now stands at more than 3,000.

This represents a revolution in planetary knowledge. A decade or so ago the discovery of even a single new exoplanet was big news. Not anymore. Improvements in astronomical observation technology have moved us from retail to wholesale planet discovery. We now know, for example, that every star in the sky likely hosts at least one planet.

But planets are only the beginning of the story. What everyone wants to know is whether any of these worlds has aliens living on it. Does our newfound knowledge of planets bring us any closer to answering that question?

A little bit, actually, yes. In a paper published in the May issue of the journal Astrobiology, the astronomer Woodruff Sullivan and I show that while we do not know if any advanced extraterrestrial civilizations currently exist in our galaxy, we now have enough information to conclude that they almost certainly existed at some point in cosmic history.

What’s So Special About Another Earth?

Extract:

Charlottesville, Va. — Yesterday, the European Southern Observatory announced that astronomers have detected a planet the size of Earth orbiting our nearest star, Proxima Centauri. We discover hundreds of “exoplanets” every year, but this one is different: It orbits its star at just the right distance so that, in theory, it’s possible it could sustain life. This detection of a “goldilocks” planet so close to our own marks a significant achievement for exoplanet astronomy, the young field devoted to the search for and study of planets orbiting stars other than our sun.

The European Southern Observatory’s news release explains that Proxima Centauri, unlike the other two stars in its system, is a red dwarf, smaller and cooler than our sun. Although liquid water, that all-important life sustaining substance, might exist on the surface of this planet, its 11-day orbit and strong radiation would create a climate very different from Earth’s. Standing on the surface, one would see not the familiar blue sky; more likely, it would be an alien red.

The astronomers are of course well aware of these dissimilarities. Why, then, do they still insist on categorizing this planet as Earthlike? Some fantasize that “another earth” could be a celestial refuge if we end up destroying our own. Another answer is that detecting a planet like ours capable of hosting life brings us one step closer to answering the ultimate question of whether or not we are alone in the universe — the end of our “cosmic loneliness,” as the science reporter Dennis Overbye wrote in this paper.

Internet spots UFO in SpaceX explosion footage

Sometimes real life isn't exciting enough on its own and people feel the need to embellish it with aliens. Some UFO enthusiasts saw footage of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket exploding during a test-firing last week and kicked things up to sci-fi status with the sighting of a mysterious flying object.

Advanced aliens could 'conquer and colonise' our planet, warns Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking has tackled the mysteries of the universe his entire life.

Now the world-renowned scientist has some new things to say about a potential alien invasion .

"If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans," Professor Hawking told El País .

"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," he said.

The physicist, who has suffered from motor neurone disease since his twenties, explained that the existence of aliens is beyond doubt.

"To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."

He also explained that the best chances for the survival of the human race is to find a new home on another planet.

"There's an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy Earth," Prof Hawking explains.

"I therefore want to raise public awareness about the importance of space flight. I have learnt not to look too far ahead, but to concentrate on the present.

"I have so much more I want to do."

In July, Britain's most famous scientist helped to launch Breakthrough Listen , a 10-year, £64million project funded by US-based Russian billionaire Yuri Milner.

Mr Milner’s team will scan the skies for alien broadcast signals, searching the entire Milky Way and 100 nearby galaxies.

Professor Hawking, 73, said at the Royal Society in London: “Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps, intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours aware of what they mean.”
