#aliens

It began centuries ago. Due to our physiology and the fact that our world contains a single continent, we never gave priority to developing long range communications. Our mind was one and we knew what all saw and felt. But as we developed and the laws of nature made themselves known to us, we stumbled unto radio signals.

This is going on @LinkedIn IF I can shorten it down a little... I just feel like kicking the hornets nest today and getting some folks all spun up :) #ConspiracyTheory #5GForAll #aliens

You asked, The White House answered: "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race"

New research conducted by Abraham Loeb from Harvard and Edwin Turner from Princeton shows that electric, artificial lights on remote planets could be detected using next-generation ground and space telescopes. The basic approach is simple: planets that are exclusively illuminated by a local sun will have one “light signature,” while a planet with artificial lights will have another. Loeb and Turner say that this technique, with our current telescopes, would be able to pick out a major terrestrial city on the edge of the Solar System, in the Kuiper belt (50 AU) — but future telescopes, or the telescopes belonging to advanced, alien races, could see farther.

"if space flight is really going to take thousands of years, hundreds of generations, and immense resources that could be better spent on having a good time, why should millions of sentient beings be expected to sink their lives into making it happen?"

"The name of the novel derives from a metaphor proposed by the character Dr. Valentine Pilman, who compares the visit to a roadside picnic. After the picnickers depart, nervous animals venture forth from the adjacent forest and discover the picnic garbage: spilled motor oil, faded unknown flowers, a box of matches, a clockwork teddy bear, balloons, candy wrappers, etc. He concludes that humankind finds itself in a situation similar to that of the curious forest animals."

"If there’s one thing I need from Alien/Human miscegenation it’s humor. Watch as Glirk seduces Steve and Steve valiantly attempts not to projectile vomit."

"cows versus alien invaders...animation and music by me, with thanks to shorty for the use of his excellent photos"

"How advanced could they possibly be?"

"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."

"Wait. Do you think the girls might be able to tell if I dyed my feathers?"

"if you live in Michigan, you might want to put on your tin-foil hat, because it looks like something's brewing around those parts."

"Master Foo left to live with the aliens. That surprised everyone."
