Extra-terrestrial life has been discovered by Brit students at Sheffield University. Not bug eyed green monsters but microscopic from meteor showers. The scientific investigators have isolated the microbes from weather balloons high in the stratosphere and have quarantined them from infection by Earth microbes. They seem convinced the micro-organisms are alien and from meteor showers that broke up upon hitting Earth atmosphere.
Scrapbook things on many topics. Retro Brit continues adding blogs. New and growing interest every month.

Dying CIA man speaks of UFOs
This is a dying Secret Service veteran's story of his younger days working for the CIA. He tells a very compelling tale about top security disagreements within the American security service concerning UFOs and Extra-Terrestrial beings at Roswell, Area 51.

UFO Files - Black Box Secrets - Pilots & Astronauts Sightings
Lots of wacky sightings of UFOs from professional people with high profile Air Force jobs are reporting strange sightings that are being covered up.
USAF Officers Give Evidence on UFO Sightings
UFO sighting of USAF officers. I do find it a struggle to think these men are making it up. I'm sceptical and believe there can be logical mistakes, but there seem to be so many. These men are high ranking intelligent men. Why would they make such a thing up? Why would they not search for a logical explanation? They seem to be very rational men to hold positions of such responsibility. All this is very creepy, compelling and baffling.

Search for Extra-terrestrial Life in UK
Britain is launching a new in depth search for alien life through out the cosmos. They are trying to scan for anything that signifies life and are using countless ways of monitoring such things. There are various links to follow. This will give a good idea of how the searchers will go about their task.

Why Hope for Aliens? (Science Fiction)
Why Hope for Aliens?
Why do we hope and prey that there is extra terrestrial life? It is something that fascinates us in our on going quest to understand ourselves. We gobble up any little bit of information that might suggest life. Is it because of a divine creator or scientific mathematical probability? After all, in eternity every mathematical consequence must occur once. Or does it? Where do we begin? We search for anything that will give us an opening into a more enlightening universe. Then we discover there are more questions. It is in our instinct to pursue and explore all. And does it help if we fantasise and make up stories? Sometimes such tales motivate us to search. Even if it is to pour ridicule and scorn on such yarns at a later date.
During the middle ages there were all sorts of trials pertaining to an act of God that could get a person freed or executed. An accused could be tried by walking ten paces holding a hot iron then having their hands bandaged for a set amount of days before being removed at an appointed time. If the blister burns remained or were subdued; would depend on judgement of a person’s guilt or innocence.
Are we only just beyond this and do some of our learned people of today feed us theories as outrages as the trial by ordeals of yesterday? Today we do not believe such things because they have been disproved, but many of our academic and most learned people of the middle-ages believed such was true. Today we like to indulge ourselves that we are more enlightened, and I think we are. However, many of the scientific theories we are given, continuously get disproved or challenged by equally well educated people with new ideas.
It seems that anything is possible and for most of us laymen who enjoy being fascinated by such things, it gives us a chance to fantasise and enjoy science fiction stories that we can model to our own needs. We all hear the theories of light speed being the fastest of all things. Nothing can exceed it, so we fantasise about ways of getting around such miserable constraints.
In the story of Dune, humans get around light speed and vast distances by consuming a spice from a planet called Arrakis – a desert planet where giant worms secrete and protect this strange substance. It allows humans to enhance their conscience and fold space. They theoretically put a ship outside of space, fold the universe and bring the designated space towards them and place their ship within the target area. Through folding back into shape, the ship is at the other end of the fold – travelling the vast distance without moving. What a wonderful theory for a science fiction/fantasy novel.
Of course in Star Trek they go into warp and just blow the whole (Nothing can exceed light speed theory) out of the water. Some stories cryogenic ally freeze people for long distance space travel or, on other tales, go through black holes. If we can imagine these things then surely it is our destiny to find such ways around these obstacles.
We believe it is possible to get past these gigantic hurdles so surely, somewhere, there must me other beings. If there are, would they not come to us? Have they come to us? Ooh, more fantasy to enjoy – whether they have or not?
Martians! What about Martians? Our first aliens from our own star system and neighbouring planet Mars. We all wanted Martians to be real, even if they were very un-neighbourly like the ones in War of the Worlds or Quatermass and the Pit. We fantasise about them being brutal and subjugating – a formidable hurdle that we must transpire to overcome. Sometimes they are more benevolent and we are aggressive and they point out our short comings. Either way we want extra terrestrial life to be real. The thought of us being the only ones is too terrible to behold. We just don’t want them to be better then us because if they are so high and mighty we may not worthy of their attention or affection. These are all traits in ourselves, but we don’t want our aliens to have them. We want them to be impressed, but not patronising. Do we still want to be top dog, even among extra-terrestrials? I think secretly we do, because we are still tribal.
Are we a disease that wants nothing more then to colonise and expect outsiders to be grateful to us for it? Do we want to meet others because we want them to be impressed by us? Are we at the tip of our galaxies spiral arm because we are a quarantined life force? Are we on the fringe because nature is giving us a fighting chance before meeting something more terrible in the centre of the galaxy, where the stars are closely clustered and more interesting, leaving us un-noticed, for the time being? Perhaps uninteresting? Are we being left to mature for something unearthly and terrible? Something diabolical of intention and we await such attention at a later date and what might that be?
All these things are to be discovered. In the mean time let us fantasise and speculate with wonderful stories…
