Overwhelming belief in aliens is 'dangerous' to society, new paper warns

Sept. 6, 2024, 8:31 p.m. • New York Post • (4 Minute Read)
In a new paper, it has been warned that an overwhelming belief in aliens is proving to be 'dangerous' to society. The paper, authored by Tony Milligan, a research fellow in the philosophy of ethics at King’s College in London, highlights the widespread societal problem resulting from the growing consensus on UFO conspiracies. According to Milligan, the lack of evidence for the existence of aliens coupled with the promotion of conspiracy theories is undermining trust in democratic institutions. Moreover, he asserts that the fascination with UFOs is detracting from legitimate scientific exploration of the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The paper also points out the detrimental impact of alien conspiracy theories on the understanding of ancient civilizations and their mythology. This academic warning comes in the wake of heightened interest in UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, with a significant portion of the population believing that the government possesses more knowledge about UFOs than it discloses. The author urges for a reevaluation of society's preoccupation with extraterrestrial life and its consequences.

The latest series of the BBC's Paranormal delves into alleged UFO sightings, exploring events such as the 1977 incident at Broad Haven Primary School in Wales. As the public's fascination with extraterrestrial life persists, the use of modern technology, including smartphones and air traffic tracking apps, has positioned experts to better investigate UFO phenomena. However, alongside the cultural influence of UFO sightings, psychologists are considering the impact of eyewitness testimony, group conformity, and media coverage in shaping these reports. Aerospace engineer Dr. Ryan Marks suggests that air traffic, military activity, and experimental aircraft could offer rational explanations for many sightings. Despite the increased accessibility of tracking technology, the study of UFOs continues to prompt public skepticism and debate.

June 29, 2024, 8:54 a.m. • Times Now • (10 Minute Read)
A mysterious object spotted in the skies over Canada has been termed another sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Justin Stevenson and his wife were driving through Fort Alexander when they saw an object "bright like fire in the sky" above the Winnipeg River on May 14. Stevenson, who previously doubted the existence of extraterrestrial life, described the experience as "like being in a sci-fi movie." He recorded the phenomenon on his mobile phones, speculating whether they were witnessing an alien encounter. The startling sighting has convinced Stevenson that there is life beyond Earth. In the video shared on Facebook, Stevenson can be heard exclaiming, "What the f*** is that? Yo, I think we're seeing some aliens." The objects, "as bright as the sun," were seen flying above the river's north shore before vanishing into the sky. "I was sceptical before I saw this, but now this has given me the proof I need that there's something out there other than humans," he said, according to the NY Post. The video has evoked a flurry of reactions, with several people calling it a “strange anomaly” and a “clear shot of UFOs.” “Oh my word, what is that? Pretty scary it's so close to home, yikes!” a user commented under the video, which has now been viewed over 650K times. Another user claimed it could be a “drone or a UFO,” while someone else offered a more logical explanation, suggesting it was “swamp gas from a weather balloon trapped in a thermal pocket, refracting the light from Venus."

100 years of aliens: From Mars beavers to little gray men

June 28, 2024, 5:25 p.m. • Popular Science • (6 Minute Read)
For 100 years, humans have been captivated by the idea of alien life, with our concepts of extraterrestrials evolving from beavers on Mars to the iconic depiction of gray aliens. The fascination dates back to ancient Greece, when Democritus speculated about habitable worlds, and it was fueled by H.G. Wells's 1898 novel "The War of the Worlds." The book depicted a Martian invasion, sparking imagination and fear about alien life. Over time, science fiction, fueled by speculation about Mars and advancements in space exploration, began to shape our perceptions of extraterrestrial life. From the beavers and lunar crabs of the early 1900s to the modern portrayal of gray aliens and advanced beings in works such as "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Alien," our vision of cosmic visitors has continued to capture our imagination and inspire curiosity. The ongoing search for habitable worlds and the exploration of space continue to drive our fascination with the idea of alien life.

Study hints that we can see traces of alien travel from 'warp drives' in space

June 26, 2024, 12:46 a.m. • New York Post • (4 Minute Read)
A recent study from various prestigious institutions, including Oxford and the Max Planck Institute, has suggested that "warp drives," a concept often found in science fiction such as "Star Trek," may have a basis in reality and could potentially be used for interstellar travel. The research team focused on the concept of "faster-than-light travel" and its implications for the search for extraterrestrial life. The study suggests that evidence of warp travel could serve as indicators of non-human travel throughout the universe. The team's work builds upon the theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre's concept of modifying spacetime to enable a spaceship to travel at speeds exceeding that of light. This groundbreaking research challenges the boundaries of human understanding of space travel and opens new possibilities for discovering signs of alien presence in the cosmos.

Exact spot alien life may be lurking on 'ocean world' in our Solar System found

June 25, 2024, 7:50 p.m. • The Sun • (3 Minute Read)
Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have pinpointed the potential location of alien life within our own solar system, and the findings suggest that it may be lurking beneath the vast oceans on distant moons. These "ocean worlds", such as Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa, could harbor the key to extraterrestrial life, according to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. The team at UC Santa Cruz used computer simulations based on hydrothermal circulation as it occurs on Earth, and their results indicate that low-temperature hydrothermal vents could exist under certain conditions on these moons, creating the potential for life to develop over billions of years. The team will be looking for further evidence of life on these moons with the launch of NASA's Europa Clipper mission later this year. While the research presents a tantalizing prospect for the existence of alien life, the challenge lies in gathering data from celestial objects located at such a great distance from Earth.
