National Aeronautics and Space Administrion

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.

Alien Abduction: Fact or Fiction

80,000 people in the US claim that they have been abducted by aliens.
This happened in 1994, they were very precise in the way they did this.

57 varieties of aliens

If you’re worried about potential loss of health, life, property or sanity as a result of alien abduction, you’re not alone. But luckily, there are number of insurance agencies willing to sell you a policy to protect you in case of a close encounter of the third kind. More of a lark than a serious protection of one’s assets, alien abduction insurance policies have been issued to over 20,000 people since the 1990s. “Of course, the burden of proof lies with the claimant,” says Simon Burgess, managing director of British Insurance. “Let’s face it – insurance is so tedious that if I can enlighten my dreary life with a bit of humor every now and again, I will.” It’s not all for laughs, though. The infamous Heaven’s Gate cult purchases insurance policies for all of its members before the group’s mass suicide, leading Goodfellow Rebecca Ingrams Pearson (GRIP), the company that issued the policy, to cease offering the service. If you’re wondering how much alien abduction insurance might cost you, you couldn’t do much better than $9.95, the price of a lifetime policy from the Alien Abduction Insurance Corporation

In a dark room they could touch a object and tell what color it was. They have a greater sight, smell and hearing, however why do they take on humanoid appearance.

Alien abduction incident in Lake City

There was a spaceship sighted. In 60 minutes of terrified panic, a family striken with fear fights off aliens that are trying to abduct them.

Tom Dogo who is a to UFO researcher in Arizona, believes the tape was genuine. Lt. Col. Donald of the Air Force, who is a UFO researcher, also believes him. I do as well.

Xenobiology


Also known as exobiology or astrobiology is the study of extraterrestrial life. Now Panspermia, which is the study that life exists throughout the universe, is a support of this.

Scientists are searching for extraterrestrial life in two very different ways. They are searching for evidence of life within the solar system: searching Mars and meteors which have fallen to Earth, and a proposed mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons with a liquid water layer under its surface.

There is evidence for the existence of micro biotic life on Mars. An experiment on the Viking Mars lander reported gas emissions from heated Martian soil that some argue are consistent with the presence of microbes, though the lack of corroborating evidence from other experiments on the Viking indicates that a non-biological reaction is a more likely hypothesis. Indepedently, in 1996 structures resembling bacteria were discovered in a meteorite known to be formed of rock ejected from Mars. Again, this evidence is vigorously disputed.

Secondly, it is theorised that any technological society will be transmitting information: man-made electromagnetic radiation is already detectable within an eighty light-year radius of Earth, and is constantly spreading. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, takes the data gathered by the world's largest radiotelescopes and analyses it for artificial patterns using

supercomputers and one of the largest distributed computing projects in the world, SETI@home.

Some scientists believe that some UFOs are the spacecraft of intelligent extraterrestrials; however since these scientists are currently very much in the minority, work such as SETI continues in the hopes that a signal will be detected.

Astronomers also search for extrasolar planets that would be conducive to life. Current radiodetection methods have been inadequate for such a search, as the resolution afforded by recent technology is inadequate for detailed study of extrasolar planetary objects. Future telescopes should be able to image planets around nearby stars, which may reveal the presence of life (either directly or through spectrography revealing, for instance, the presence of free oxygen in a planet's atmosphere).
