be alarmed, but you have alien dna in your genetic code. Science says so. Scientists from Kazakhstan believe that human dna was encoded with an extraterrestrial signal by an ancient alien civilisation, Discovery.com reports. They call it “biological seti” and the researchers claim that the mathematical code in human DNA cannot be explained by evolution. In a nutshell, we’re living, ... Read More »
to say hello to an ET? seti scientists are here to help. People in Seattle and other parts of the Northwest recently weighed in on what they would want to say to intelligent creatures from another planet. At the seti Institute in California, home of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, an ongoing program called Earth Speaks is collecting messages from ... Read More »
some scientists listen to the sky for signs of extraterrestrials, others are figuring out what messages to send back (or whether to send a message at all) should we discover ET. One of those projects is called “Earth Speaks” and is part of the SETI Institute – as in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The researchers associated with Earth Speaks ... Read More »
hypothesize that a sign of intelligent extraterrestrials could reside within the human genetic code. Dr. Vladimir I. shCherbak, a mathematician at the al-Farabi Kazakh National University of Kazakhstan, and Maxim A. Makukov, an astrobiologist at Kazakhstan’s’s Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute, recently published a paper titled “The ‘Wow! signal’ of the terrestrial genetic code” in the planetary science journal Icarus. This title ... Read More »
March 12, 013, NASA announced findings from the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity that suggest Mars was once habitable. NASA officials determined this by reviewing data from Curiosity’s Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument that analyzed samples of a Martian rock drilled by Curiosity. Explaining the results, SAM principal investigator Paul Mahaffy stated, “The range of chemical ingredients we have identified ... Read More »
the Fall of 967, a small team of radio astronomers came face-to-face with a profound mystery that they didn’t want to be true. At one point they half-seriously thought about destroying the data and staying stone silent. That’s because announcing it to the world could open a Pandora’s box for science, and derail at least one astronomer’s PhD thesis. A ... Read More »
’s much ballyhooed paradox — the aging saw that “If E.T. is out there and technologically-advanced, why aren’t they here?” — now seems a tad simplistic. It’s a conundrum that has plagued SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) researchers since their first radio searches began more than a half century ago. But the lack of verifiable SETI signals should not be ... Read More »
hoosing a single telecommunications protocol has always been difficult for engineers on Earth, so it’s especially difficult for those who want to communicate with beings from another star system. While it’s nice to imagine that extraterrestrial beings would be able to interface with whatever protocol humans decide to encode a message in, that’s not a realistic way to think. Humanity ...

people recognize the letters SETI as representing the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. It brings to mind astronomers like Frank Drake and Carl Sagan who in the 1960s were early advocates for the search for intelligent life beyond earth, and who brought the study of possible extraterrestrials out of science fiction and into the realm of serious scientific inquiry. They realized ... Read More »
uch as we might gaze up at the stars in wonder and let our imaginations run riot, the odds against ever connecting with an alien civilization are astronomically long. But if better technology can help, those odds just got better. And if it happens, that first contact might well just happen here in Shasta County. The Allen Telescope Array, near ... Read More »
hen scientists go out looking for research funding, it helps if their projects aren’t all that exciting. Excitement usually goes with the most speculative, cutting-edge science, but funding agencies usually prefer to put their money on projects that seem likely to bear fruit. “You pretty much have to demonstrate that you’ve already done half the work to demonstrate it’s feasible,” ...

cientists at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) are pointing their instruments toward the litany of exoplanets discovered by the NASA‘s Kepler telescope. And they need your help. Through a radio telescope, a signal from an alien civilization would probably look a lot like a signal from a satellite orbiting Earth, only fainter. At least that’s what scientists engaged in ...

question of whether extraterrestrial (ET) life exists (and in particular “intelligent” ET life) is arguably one of the most intriguing questions today. Not just scientists but people in general realize that the discovery of ET life would constitute a revolution rivaling the Copernican revolution in magnitude. Here is a brief status report on where the quest for ET life is ... Read More »
A co-founder and chief scientist of San Diego-based Qualcomm donated $3.5 million to improve the search for life on other planets, the SETI Institute announced today. The Mountain View-based organization uses radio telescopes to search for unnatural signals. The gift from Franklin Antonio of Qualcomm will be used to double the sensitivity of an antenna feed from the Allen Telescope ... Read More »
as aliens been trying to contact earth? Many belive so and for sometime now. Some crops circles are actually believed to be authentic or very great hoaxes. We all know many people have come forward and claimed they are responsable for making certain types of crop circles. And to back up there claims they proved it. On a cold winter ... Read More »

FOR those searching for life on another planet, the mission involves not just finding the evidence but getting others to take them seriously. UFO sightings in Australia are on the rise, according to people who track such phenomena, and international studies indicate a growing number of “closet believers” of extraterrestrial life. What do you think? Leave a comment below Link ... Read More »
you’ve spent your career chasing the ultimate, change-everything cosmic brass ring, how do you retire without feeling disappointed? I’ve been asked that question, or some variation, dozens of times in the past month, and I’ve answered it the same way I have over my many decades as a research scientist searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. I’m not disappointed. I understand how ... Read More »
one extreme in alien-invasion movies, there’s the slimy, razor-toothed, grotesque creature full of powerhouse violence — and a too-eager desire to feast on human filet. These aliens, never cordial in social settings, are the worst-nightmare kind of beast that one finds in the “Alien” series or “The Thing,” among many others. At the other extreme are kinder, gentler alien visitors ... Read More »
will the impact be on religion when extraterrestrial life is discovered? It is a common assumption that such a discovery will be detrimental to core beliefs of religions around the world. You might be surprised to hear, however, that some experts believe the religious impact will be minor. A panel discussion on this topic took place on Sunday, June 24 ... Read More »
