[1]. The universe is full of life; life from planets and beings on other planes and dimensions of reality. Intelligent life is everywhere, including our oceans, our skies and in our own human environment. I suspect that beings exist in ways and in forms I can not express with words and that our limited systems of communication (verbal, written, etc.) can not begin to describe adequately.
[2]. This may seem, to many, a bold and groundless assertion concerning our place in the universe amongst other beings. However, if one takes the time to investigate human experiences with other beings and one begins to look at the mountain of evidence, it is clear that we are not alone and we never were.
[3]. I can not stress enough the power of ridicule and the rigid paradigms expressed by the U.S. government and in mainstream academia- which is, in many ways, an offshoot of the government's position as many universities are beholden by grants and funding by the government as well as a general paradigm of "these people are hallucinating or are having lucid dreams and there is no evidence so why bother to look" at higher institutions.
[4]. If studying something or holding a certain position in a political career environment, namely academics, will get you fired or laughed out of a promotion, then the area will be, in the vast majority of cases, avoided at all costs and academians will stand together as a herd for fear of reprisal.
[5]. This is true also of conspiracy theories, which, although the term "conspiracy theory" has gained an ugly reputation as immediately nonsense by mainstream academics, all this terms means is "two or more people plotted to do something in secret for their own ends".
[6].The official version of, for example, 9-11, is a "conspiracy theory" as much as the theories that assert the twin towers and building #7 were brought down in a staged, controlled demolition that was supposed to make us hate our new "enemy" so we could go to endless war and give up our civil liberties out of fear.
[7]. It worked brilliantly, but teach what I think to be the truth of the event and say goodbye to tenure, your career, your money, your whole throng of years put into this or that field. Therefore, the truth becomes unfathomable to those in academics and the lies get passed on as truths to students, who regurgitate what they are taught.
[8]. Here is a question that can make the situation seem much more simple and plausible: How many decades or centuries or, perhaps, eons would it take us humans to become capable of abducting a species like ourselves at our current stage of technology, without being noticed, with the capacity to paralyze subjects, and, perhaps, even with the capacity to blend into human society and government through various means of deceptive camouflage of body shape, voice, and features?
[9]. My guess would be that in a thousand or perhaps two-thousand years (should we survive), these things would not be so difficult and our ability, in that amount of time, to traverse space and time, would make us seem very ignorant indeed. The pace of technological and scientific understanding is mushrooming with the internet and our educational systems worldwide.
[10]. Proof is everywhere but many chose not to look because they think there is always an earthly explanation. Interaction between humans and other beings- be they from another planet, from the future as us returning, from some other aspect of reality, etc, is happening all over the world and now that the masses have recording devices, the evidence is pouring in that there are myriad species communicating with or using for various ends, human beings.
[11]. I will say that most UFOs are not necessarily alien in origin but are misunderstood phenomenon or advanced human vehicles produced in secret by various human governments- such as the U.S. and perhaps China. The technology that our governments possess is many decades beyond what we are exposed to. NASA is largely a public relations front that receives only a tiny fraction of the money allocated to the military for top-secret space projects.
[12]. Astronauts in their old age speak of the aliens they encountered on the moon landing. Astronauts casually describe alien vehicles as seen from the space station or the shuttle windows. Some people have retrieved genetic evidence in the form of claw fragments. Some people have woken up to realize they have perfectly healed scars on their bodies from where surgery had taken place during their sleep. Implants with non-terrestrial metallic compositions have been removed from people.
[13]. The possibillity that humans are the offspring or genetically enhanced result of alien interbreeding is not far-fetched though more evidence needs to be gathered. The pace at which humans gained higher intellectual capacities was either the result of a rapid evolutionary race or the result of intervention by another species.
[14]. If you do enough independent research and ignore government propaganda (propaganda of ommission and deception) as well as academic propaganda (propaganda of ridicule and ignoring of scientific proof), it appears alien life both exists and has been here in many forms. If one concentrates only on shared, or objective, reports and video, there is more than sufficient evidence to at least suggest we are not alone or some form of very elaborate, very sinister hoax is being played on Earth.
[15]. I do allow the possibility that governments are sick enough to pretend to abduct people via alien contact in order to experiment on them without fear of reprisal because any disclosure of the incidents or experiments by aliens is seen, by mainstream society, as a mental problem and not a reality that an individual may be dealing with.
[16]. However, this may be a part of what is happening though I doubt it is the whole picture as the evidence points to highly advanced beings that seem capable of things humans are currently not capable of- though, all capabilities are possible in time with any species that survives long enough and continues investigating empirical reality.
[17]. It appears, in some cases, families are tracked and taken as well as the offspring of the original subjects. This is no different than what humans do to animals in the wild or in laboratory settings. To see the results of some experiment, the subjects must be re-examined and the results of the experiments, perhaps in the offspring of the first generation, must also be examined.
[18]. As with human tagging and tracking of species like, for example, bears, the experience is mitigated by tranquilizers that cause the subject species to not be aware, to some degree or another, of what is taking place and, given the psychotropic effects of many such tranquilizing substances, little or no memory of the incident is retained by the subject animal- or, in the case of alien abduction, the subject human(s).
[19]. From my own experiences, most alien life is here to communicate and share. From what I have learned over the years, some alien life is here to use us as we use other humans and animals for our own ends. If there is some kind of justice or karma in the universe, then it seems only fitting. Religions and the U.S. government tell us that the Earth and humans are alone. In reality, we live in a fish tank full of life and we are on the lesser end of intelligent species.
[20]. One of the most compelling documentaries I have ever seen is this 2006 video, "UFO - The Greatest Story Ever Denied" a compilation of NASA audio and video, as well as first-hand confessions and accounts from military, scientific, and intelligence analysts and ex-employees. In this video, first hand accounts of the recovered wreckage and alien bodies from the Roswell crash are documented.
[21]. I tend, at this point in 2010, to think that alien life very likely does exist and, where it is sufficiently advanced and interested, it is already here interacting with us. Perhaps it always has been. I think that, like the universe(s) themselves, the variety and quantity of intelligent life is probably infinite in nature. Intelligence, rather than being rare, seems densely around us.
[22]. Alien life could be intelligent balls of energy, beings that exist in some other realm of existence that we are largely unaware of, or jellyfish-like space floaters. There could be anything here or out there right now and if it were hostile, we would probably be incapable of doing anything about it. My belief, from various evidence, is that most, but not necessarily all, intelligent alien life forms are benevolent and curious.
[23]. It is possible that a sufficiently advanced alien life form has been to Earth or is observing Earth. By sufficiently advanced I mean advanced enough that we would have no way of easily or regularly detecting their presence. It is also possible that Earth is the only place that life has ever existed, but I highly doubt it.
[24]. More often than not, academic institutional herd mentality (ie, these people who claim contact must be hallucinating) and government non-disclosure are at the heart of why we do not have more evidence. The potential for ridicule keeps most prominent individuals from spending time taking this seriously.
[25]. However, recent observations by Stephen Hawking and others have prompted a resurgence of interest. The greatest primary source of ridicule, through the forties until the present, seems to be government-sponsored faux scientific propaganda spread in the media by paid-for and paid-off intelligence "experts".
[26]. Intelligence, I think, is all around us. There may be proof out there being suppressed right now. Why suppress it? I don't know, perhaps for the power of the technology that can be learned. Maybe to keep religion powerful.
[27]. Perhaps some alien life is humans from the future or perhaps it is not from a different place in space but from a different aspect of reality we do not understand.
[28]. One of the best places to start researching what has already happened is mufon.com, an organization promoted by Dan Akroyd. Akroyd has an hour long interview about alien life here. Here is a UFO case file in pictures website. Here is a scientific site about UFOs. Here is a website that shows a Russian UFO crash site as well as countless authentic videos.
[29]. Also, one cannot dismiss the crop circle phenomenon- whether it be man-made or not. While anything can be a fake and we should always be skeptical, the following video here shows many of the images we have available of potential aliens. Also, if the following crop artforms are real, (these are representations of a grey's face and a representation of the DNA structure of aliens) then aliens are both here and trying to say hello in response to our various signals and craft.
[30]. Here is a video clip from a CNN show focused on a UFO that disabled a nuclear missile. Here is a video of small balls of light creating, almost instantly, crop circles. Here is a website that focuses on proof of alien life and includes a video of schoolchildren and a teacher in Africa talking about the UFO that landed in their school yard in daylight. The African incident includes a Harvard University researcher.
[31]. While all of these things could be a hoax or government-based, dismissing this evidence seems unscientific. A government cover-up is more plausible given the potential for "national security" in the face of these events.
[32]. It seems, based on a lot of evidence that exists, aliens are here all around us. In my mind, they are probably diverse and here for diverse reasons. If they were very advanced and simply wanted to extinguish us, they probably could- easily. But, more likely, they are anthropologists and scientists and philosophers like us. As such, they may be studying, observing, communicating, or interacting with us in many ways. Perhaps they are interested in our resources or in using us in some way. All possibilities should be considered given the evidence.
[33]. Most skeptics, I think, are academically trained and have not spent time in independent research of the film, eye-witness accounts, and even metallurgical and biological evidence.
[34]. It is the governments of the world, the U.S. government in particular, that seem to be denying the existence of alien life. There is certainly some hard evidence at this point, in the form of genetic material left by aliens- such as a fingernail-like piece studied in the film here. Also in the film, implants are removed and scientifically tested at a University laboratory. While this could be a hoax, the amount of first-person accounts in contact is great now that the internet allows us access to such things.
[35]. I think most UFOs are precisely that "Unidentified Flying Objects", not necessarily alien in origin but many of the objects could be alien or from another dimension or realm of reality we simply do not understand. What the United States government reveals itself to have in use is typically 20-30 years behind what it is actually using, so we may wonder what it is that they are using. I tend to believe that either humans are creating an alien hoax or aliens, in various forms, do exist everywhere.
[36]. There is decent, thought not conclusive, evidence for the idea that the moon is inhabited and may be some form of alien observatory, meant to look like a moon. One such piece of evidence is the audio communication from astronauts as well as the idea that the moon echoed upon touchdown. I doubt that the moon landing was a hoax, but that it is possible can not be denied. I don't think it was impossible at the time, though very difficult. Until government secrecy is abolished, we can not know with any certainty.
[37]. That the U.S. government is hiding knowledge of alien life is almost certain in my mind. Now, with infra-red cameras, hand-held common digital devices, and the internet, no longer can the presence of anomalous craft and/or alien beings be hidden from the public. In most countries, the idea is more accepted. However, in America, we are faced with a neverending array of propaganda from government-paid faux scientific minds.
[38]. Scientific gods are set up, like Carl Sagan and Noam Chomsky, who guide public opinion from truth rather deliberately and politically. This is not science, it is government non-disclosure and what amounts to a type of psychological operations type cover-up of black operations in the military industrial complex. National security, because of the garnered technology in reverse-engineering, will always be at play in the reasoning for cover-ups and lies.
[39]. I have seen human test aircraft that would certainly appear alien but are no such thing. That being said, some first-person accounts I have been told do not seem to indicate human origin. But, without government oppenness and full disclosure, there can be no telling. There are rumors that the United States Delta Force works with aliens or alien technology but, again, this could be disinformation of some kind.
[40]. That some form of life has evolved on other planets similar to Earth seems empirically probable given the vast number of stars in the universe and the number of planets we have indirectly observed orbiting relatively nearby stars. Intelligent alien life would probably be more rare, but, if such life survived well past our technological aptitude, it could persist for much longer periods of time than unintelligent life, which is at the whims of the inevitable asteroid or the eventual death of its solar system's star.
[41]. It seems, to many people, that there is conclusive evidence that alien life exists and has interacted with us. Not that it could not be all some other explanation- it could be. But, I think most of the information is out there to be found in terms of video, accounts, and even physical remains of beings. That we trap and test animals and that it could be done to us too seems equivalent.
[42]. Given the sheer size of our galaxy alone, it would seem highly improbable
that we are the only species to evolve under the right circumstances. The question of
whether or not intelligent life, depending on the way in which we use the word intelligence, would evolve, is
another problem to consider. In our own solar system, it seems likely that Mars, with its
dried up river beds and it's once possibly habitable (but now gone) atmosphere could have once
harbored life.
[43]. Europa, one of the largest moons of Jupiter is another possible candidate
for life. Its icy surface seems to point to an underlying water system because it lacks
many craters that would otherwise be found. Could life evolve in the frigid waters of
Europa? We'll have to wait for further probes to determines this.
[44]. Why search for life? I think there is a human need for
knowing whether or not we are alone in the universe. This same desire may have led to the
earliest religions and the belief that heaven is somewhere in the sky. However, now that
religion is beginning to wane in human civilization, we look to the heavens not for some
mystical, omnipotent being, but to our companions who may be, like us, trying to figure
out why they are there, just as we wonder why we are here. In essence, I think the search
for extraterrestrial life is an extension of our curiosity and wonder.
[45]. If David Icke is correct about a manipulative race of reptillian shape-shifting aliens who are controlling humans for less than benevolent ends, I would not be surprised because it would only be fitting given how humans have been doing just this to each other for thousands of years. If the universe is anything like human civilization, then we are most likely fucked. But, one must also see the cosmic humor and justice in such possibilities.
[46]. The Drake Equation (by Frank Donald Drake, founder of S.E.T.I. or the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is an equation to predict the number of years life forms in our galaxy that would be capable of communicating with us. Do not confuse
this with the number of life forms that exist, which would leave off 'Ct' from the
equation.
[47]. One caveat to the Drake Equation is this: What if intelligent humanoids have been "seeding" life in the universe and/or manipulating existing species in order to experiment with or interact with them? These possibilities, if true, would negate the Drake equation. In other words, intelligent life forms may well have begun an intelligence colonization process.
[48]. Whether they reproduce and planet hop or simply seed life like gardeners, these possibilities, amongst many others, can greatly inflluence any attempt to calculate the existence of intelligent life. And, really, we need no equation to show us there is more to life in the universe.
[49]. Just do some research and stop making fun of this rather serious issue. Every time anyone ridicules someone for a scientific idea, whether it be in accordance with your particular paradigm or not, we bring human emotion and politics into a supposedly objective realm.
[50]. N = S x Sp x Pl x La x Ai x Ic x Ct
[51]. N is the
number of life forms able to communicate with us.
[52]. S is the
number of stars in the galaxy. This number can be known to a relatively accurate
estimation based on a derivation of Kepler's third law by Newton that we use to determine
the mass of two bodies. In this case, astronomers use various stars and their relative
distances away from the center of the galaxy in order to determine that the number of
stars in our galaxy is approximately 1,000,000,000,000 or, 1 x 10^12 stars. Therefore we
can say S = ~1 trillion.
[53]. Sp is
the percentage of stars with planets. In the last ten years, we've found that a number of
stars have planets in orbit around them. However, we can not detect the existence of Earth
sized planets, but only Jupiter or larger size planets that would cause a perturbation in
the Doppler shift from blue to red as the star moves.
[54]. At this point we are beginning to
see that there is a lot of guess work involved, but I think we can establish a reasonable
range from 5% to about 40% of stars have planets. In other words, we can say that Sp =
from .05 to .4
[55]. Pl is
the percentage of planets suitable for life. To answer this question we can only look to
Earth and other areas of the solar system. It seems as though, given enough time, and the
right conditions, a planet will develop some form of life. We do know that life can take
many forms other than the kind that eventually gained dominance on earth.
[56]. Some Earth-based
bacteria don't need oxygen, but live deep in rocks, living on hydrogen. Some life lives in
super-heating ocean vents where conditions are as extreme as on planets we would think to
be inhospitable.
[57]. In our own solar system the planets that have once, or could possibly
harbor life in order of probability in regards to what we now know are Mars, Europa,
Venus, Io, and other candidates. But this is highly speculative. But, our solar system,
with its stable orbits and varying distances from the sun may be anomaly, it may not.
[58]. We
know that a good portion of stars are in binary systems, or in double-star systems, that
revolve quickly around one another. This would create a somewhat unstable planetary
motion, but this may be ruled out by Sp, in that the planets would not be present in these
conditions. I think a very pessimistic estimate of Pl would be .01 or one in one hundred.
An optimistic estimate would be .1 or one in ten.
[59]. La is
the percentage of planets that are suitable for life on which life actually arises. This
asks, given the right circumstances, how often will life actually arise? This is a
biological question, which has yet to be answered.
[60]. Amino acids have been reproduced in
theoretical 'primordial ooze' substance that may have existed on the young earth some 3-4
billion years ago. However, we are entering the theoretical realm even further once again,
and therefore it would be reasonable to make the range greater in terms of our estimate.
[61]. So, I would range La from a pessimistic estimate of .00001 or one in one in one hundred
thousand to an optimistic estimate of .5 or one in two. The pessimistic estimate would be
likened to making life an anomaly in the universe. The optimistic estimate is basically
saying, where the conditions are right, life will probably arise.
[62]. Ai is
the percentage of life forms which develop intelligence. This is a point at which we enter
the realm of intelligence, and must ask ourselves what intelligence actually is, and how
evolution would provide for such a property of any given life-form.
[63]. I think this would be
one of the problems with finding life in the universe. Based on molecular genetics, and
the ways in which life evolved on Earth, we can liken 'intelligent' life to the fraction
of 'intelligent' species on Earth as compared to all other life-forms or species on Earth.
[64]. Humans, as 'intelligent' would be the 1 in the denominator, and the number of different
species could be the denominator. There are between 10 million and 100 million species on
Earth, so this would make the number between .00000001 and .000000001, which is not
optimistic.
[65]. On the other hand, does one life form always 'rise up' to be the 'intelligent'
life form? I fear that this is not the case, as the dinosaurs proved. They ruled for 4
million years, and as far as we know, never displayed any 'intelligent' characteristics. |
|
|
[66]. In other words, evolution does not seem to select for intelligence, and it seems
rather to be somewhat of an anomaly. Intelligence takes the long route to survival, in
terms of complex mechanisms in the brain, and may not necessarily be capable of defending
against something like a dinosaur inhabited world. In any case, a pessimistic estimate
would be .000000001 and an optimistic estimate, in my opinion, would be .001. This
optimistic estimate would suppose that some form of 'intelligent' life or life capable of
manipulating its environment would be capable of evolving.
[67]. Ic is
the percentage of intelligent life forms that have or desire the ability to communicate.
Here we get into a highly theoretical realm, but I think that most life forms capable of
manipulating the environment would, at some point in their development, cause signals in
the electro-magnetic spectrum to be emitted, either on purpose or by accident.
[68]. There is
one type of matter in the universe, as far as we know, and they would have to manipulate
this matter in some way. We suppose that they would have to manipulate it in some form
similar to the way we have. A pessimistic estimate would be .0001 or one in ten thousand,
and an optimistic estimate would be .01 or one in one hundred.
[69]. Ct is the number of years that
this intelligent, communicating life will want to or be capable of communication. Based on
our own experience, advanced life forms are quickly capable of destroying themselves. Our
civilization has only acquired the ability to communicate now for about 100 years, and
will continue to do so for some amount of time.
[70]. This time frame is
difficult if not impossible to say for other life forms, let alone our own. So, we can say
that an advanced civilization could last anywhere from 10000 years to 10000000 years.
POSSIBLE RESULTS:
_________________________________________________
[71]. Based on the Pessimistic estimates above, N =
.00005*
[72]. And there have been (ever) about .0000000005 Intelligent, Communicating Life Forms Ever in our Galaxy
Basically, there is no other 'intelligent' life in our galaxy, and the chances are
infinitesimal.
[73]. Based on Optimistic estimates above, N =
2000000000000*
[74]. And there have been (ever) about 200,000 Intelligent, Communicating Life Forms Ever in our Galaxy
Basically, still a low number, but has there is hope of communication or finding
remnants of life.
[75]. In thinking again, in 2010, about this optimistic number, however, even one or a few successful intelligent life forms could colonize the unvierse and perhaps even the multiverse. Intelligent life, once it exists, may destroy itself. But, the forms that survive to a certain level of complexity would be capable of spreading everywhere possible. Also, they could seed life and shape planetary systems, with enough technology.
[76]. Enlightened beings with technology is a great thing. Unenlightenend beings with technology (humans) are dangerous. What do I mean by enlightened? I mean a being that is precisely aware of the suffering of other beings.
[77]. * In the two above results,
N is equivalent to the number of years we would be able to detect life from any given
source, not the number of intelligent, communicating life forms themselves.
[78]. Keep in mind the vast distance of space and our galaxy alone, which is roughly 100,000
Light Years Across. In other words, if a signal was sent from another civilization half
way across the galaxy, it would take 50,000 years to reach us, and the same time for a
reply to get back to them.
[79]. This is not exactly efficient communication, but given the
constraints we now have in terms of the speed of light (300,000,000 meters/second) it is
the best we can do. Also, we should keep in mind that we have only been listening and
looking for signs for a very short period of time, perhaps thirty years or so.
[80]. If you are an alien and you are reading this, please send me a photo and an email. It does sound funny, but, if they are here, they are probably smart enough to do just that.
