Are You There, E.T.? SETI Finds No Alien Signals from Exoplanets

Intelligent alien life is likely relatively rare throughout our Milky Way galaxy, with fewer than one in a million solar systems harboring civilizations advanced enough to send out radio signals, a new study reports.
A research team that includes famed alien hunter Jill Tarter — the model for astronomer Ellie Arroway in Carl Sagan's famous book "Contact" — surveyed dozens of planet-hosting stars for radio signals from alien civilizations. They turned up nothing.
"No signals of extraterrestrial origin were found," the researchers conclude in the study, which has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

The Star-gods Revealed

by Leonard Farra

Some people ,who have not read my books, The Pleiades Legacy (the Old World) and The Pleiades Legacy (the New World), have asked me what they are about. Well, the answer is that they reveal a revolutionary picture of the early history of civilised man based on what some of the Ancients ,such as the Sumerians, claimed to have happened. According to these sources, civilising extra-terrestrials visited Earth and taught man many useful arts, such as agriculture, and how to live in villages. Legends say that they had the form of tall white men and wore long white robes. They were worshipped as gods and white became associated with purity. White animals were frequently regarded as sacred and priests who served the gods often wore white robes. The reader might find this story hard to believe but the fact is that it has had a major impact on many aspects of human life , in both the Old and New Worlds, right through to the present such as early religious beliefs and festivals, legends, folk customs, geometric and animal symbolism, sacred architecture, numerology, star lore, allegorical stories, the astronomical alignments of numerous early sites, sayings, and even place names.

Allegorical texts, such as The Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious work, and the Book of the Hopi, suggest that some people misused the technology given to them by their non earthly visitors and used it to attack their enemies. The later retaliated and very soon much of the world was involved in conflict- I.E. the wars in the 20th century were the Second and the Third and this one was the first. When they learned what was happening, the star-gods returned and destroyed the feuding people with a great flood. There are literally hundreds of flood stories around the world and the traditions associated with many of them suggest that they refer to a catastrophe that occurred on this planet 5,000 years ago.

Early Sumerian writings reveal the number of space craft that visited Earth and later Middle Eastern traditions indicate how they were represented in symbolism and sacred architecture and how they were also alluded to in religious rituals.

These sources also reveal that there was a link between the ‘star-god’ religions of Ancient Sumeria, Babylon, Assyria, Egypt, and other parts of the Middle East, Asia, and West Africa.

They show that in Egypt, the white garmented , civilising god, Osiris, who later became the God of the Dead, was at the centre of that country’s Afterlife beliefs and that, under a variety of names, he was renowned as a civiliser in numerous early cultures.

Pyramids, such as Egypt’s Great Pyramid, Babylon’s famous Etemenanki, and the royal pyramids in Assyrian palaces, were part of the star-god religion which also influenced some of the traditions of the Classical Civilisations of Greece and Rome and mystical cults, such as Mithraism, which Rome adopted from the East.

The sky-god religion became interwoven with certain aspects of Astrology with which some of the Roman emperors were deeply involved. The architectural layout of Rome’s Coliseum, and the Pantheon, for example, and the spectacular chariot racing events at the Circus Maximus, were all based upon astrological, sky-god linked, traditions.

   As I previously mentioned, in other articles, many early people associated the star-people with the Pleiades. These stars, which are 440 light years from Earth, were featured in religious traditions throughout the Old World. Religious sites were aligned to their rising and people associated them with the Flood and the great civilisers of man. The story of the visit of the star-gods resulted in numerous legends, over the years, such as the tales of lost flooded lands in Medieval Europe. Plato’s story of Atlantis ,which has occupied the minds of many  scholars, over the years, might also have been based on the Flood legend.

  With regard to the New World, its earliest known civilisations also date  back five thousand years and  people in Central and South America, such as the Aztecs, Maya and Incas, had similar Pleiades linked star-god religions to others in countries thousands of miles away in the Old World. The sacred architecture, and symbolic designs, used to represent the craft of the star-people in the Old World, were also used in parts of the Americas. In Europe, some of the remaining star-god traditions, and customs, were suppressed when Christianity came on the scene and especially in the 12th century, in the era of the crusades, when the Catholic Church in France began a campaign against heretics which spread to other parts of Europe. In Dorset, in England, a church was built inside a ‘pagan’ earth circle and there is also evidence, expressed in symbolism, of Christianity replacing earlier star-god linked traditions in some of the English churches built in that era. Hundreds of years later, a similar thing happened when the Europeans colonised the New World. In Mexico, the Spaniards built the Metropolitan Cathedral over the Aztec’s Great Pyramid, in Tenochtitlan, (now buried under Mexico City), and in the Incan Capital city of Cuzco, they built the Church of Santo Domingo over the Coricancha temple. Both these sacred structures were astronomically aligned. They symbolically stood at the centre of the empire and they were part of the same sky-god religion. In Mexico, the Spanish priest, and inquisitor, Bishop Landa forced Mayan nobles to give up their religion and he burnt thousands of Mayan objects of worship and codices recording their beliefs and astronomical data. Fortunately, a few of the codices survived, or were written after the Spanish conquest, for there is a wealth of cryptic, and allegorical, data in texts such as The Popul Vuh  which has confused scholars because they did not appreciate that it was related to the sky-god religion.

During the course of my research, I have been able to decode the secret religious traditions  associated with some of the early archaeological sites in the Americas such as Machu Picchu in Peru, Tiahuanaco in the Andes, Teotihuacan in Mexico, and the Mayan site of Chichen Itza, in Mexico, where many people flocked on the 2012 December solstice to witness what some thought was the end of the world. Chichen’s famous pyramid, and many other structures at the site, and in other Mayan cities, were associated with the sky-god religion and it was the Hawaiian version of it which resulted in Capt. Cook being killed when he arrived in Hawaii.

In both the Old and New Worlds, there were inner traditions, and rituals, for initiates and rulers, and outer ones for the general public and when Western scholars began recording the traditions, and legends, of North American Native peoples, they either spoke to the wrong persons or those who knew the ‘inner truths’ kept them to themselves. Because of this misunderstanding , the outer allegorical stories, about the visit of the ‘star-people’, have been recorded in books on mythology. Initiates, however, who were told the inner truths by their elders, kept them to themselves and many Native Americans are awaiting their return.

What I have reported above is only a part of a huge, complex, puzzle which re-interprets the  history of early civilised man. Many Native American tribes, for example, say that their people were survivors of the destruction of the ‘previous age’, by water, and various sources suggest that this was the Great flood, that occurred 5,000 years ago and which was, reputedly, caused by the sky-gods . Furthermore, there is a ‘thread, or Key’ which runs through many of the early sky-god religions, traditions, and legends the tail end of it is still with us today. The titles of many films, and books, for example, are related to a series of stories, told by many people over the centuries, which date back five thousand years to the star-god era. The same sort of thing happened with some sky-god symbols. One of them, the spikes rising from the headdress of America’s famous Stature of Liberty, dates back to Ancient Egypt. It was later adopted by the Etruscans, and Greeks, and it was used as a symbol in Christianity. However, few people now place any significance on it because its original meaning has long since been forgotten.

UFO Sighting in Jackson, Missouri (Video)

Over the course of July and August 2012, both orbs of light as well as large craft were spotted in the Jackson, Missouri area. This video aired on August 3rd, 2012.

RAF radar chief saw fleet of 35 UFOS

AN RAF expert yesterday revealed how he tracked a whole fleet of “spaceships” on military radar — but the Ministry of Defence told him to keep quiet.

Wing Commander Alan Turner, 64, said colleagues sat stunned when 35 super-fast vessels appeared on their screens.

Wing Cmdr Turner, who was a chief operator of the RAF’s radar system for 29 years, said the craft were equally spaced and shot from 3,000ft to 60,000ft at almost 300mph.

Incredibly, every few seconds one of the UFOs would suddenly vanish from radar and be replaced by an identical vessel moments later.

Wing Cmdr Turner said six military radars, plus operators at Heathrow, spotted the UFOs east of Salisbury Plain and filed reports on the unexplained phenomenon in 1971.
The RAF chief even drew a map charting their flight in between key sites like RAF Lyneham, Wilts, and the aircraft navigation transmitter at Brookmans Park, Herts.

Three days later, the Ministry of Defence visited the RAF and instructed staff to “never speak about the incident again”.

Wing Cmdr Turner, who retired from the RAF in 1995, said: “UFOs are a fact — I tracked them on military radar units.

“What I saw defied all logic and was, quite frankly, extraordinary.

“It wasn’t just me.
“More than 30 pairs of eyes of RAF staff and radar operators at Heathrow Airport witnessed the same thing.

“It’s arrogant to believe that we’re the only ones in this universe.”
The dad of three, of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, was a radar supervisor at the now disused RAF Sopley base, Dorset, in 1971.

Wing Cmdr Turner said: “I instantly knew this wasn’t a convoy of military planes.

“The only craft with that rate of climb were supersonic lightning aircraft but they wouldn’t have been able to hold such a perfect formation.

“They also make a lot of noise.
“No one heard a thing on the night in question.”
Wing Cmdr Turner, awarded an MBE in 1984, is guest speaker at the Close Encounters conference in Pontefract, West Yorks, next month.
Philip Mantle, of UFO Data magazine, said: “His testimony is remarkable.”

Closest 'Alien Earth' May Be 13 Light-Years Away

An Earth-like alien planet may reside right in our solar system's backyard, just 13 light-years or so away, astronomers announced today (Feb. 6).
That number is just an estimate, though, and not based on an exoplanet discovery.
The researchers used data from NASA's prolific planet-hunting Kepler space telescope, which is staring at more than 150,000 stars simultaneously. Kepler detects planets by measuring the temporary brightness dips caused when the worlds pass in front of, or transit, their stars' faces from the instrument's perspective.

The team pulled out a sample of 3,897 red dwarfs — stars dimmer and smaller than our own sun — and determined that Kepler has identified 95 exoplanet candidates circling them. Three of these candidates are roughly Earth-size and orbit within their stars' "Goldilocks zone," where liquid water (and possibly life as we know it) can exist. ['Alien Earths' Should Orbit Nearby Stars (Video)]
Kepler isn't able to detect every planet circling every star that it's watching, researchers noted. Many worlds don't orbit in the right plane for Kepler to observe transits, and the signals of others may be masked by brightness variations inherent to red dwarfs.
Taking this into account, about 6 percent of red dwarfs in the Milky Way galaxy should host Earth-like planets, the astronomers said.
Since about 75 percent of the galaxy's 100 billion stars are red dwarfs, this translates to an estimated 4.5 billion "alien Earths" spread throughout the galaxy. The research team stressed, however, that this is a tentative figure because the distribution of stars varies widely.

 

Within 30 light-years of our sun, there are 248 red dwarfs, according to separate surveys conducted by the Research Consortium on Nearby Stars, an international astronomical group led by Georgia State University.
In the new study, the research team used this information to find out how far from Earth we need to go to find planets like our own.

"It should be, hopefully, within 13 light-years," lead author Courtney Dressing, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said during a press conference today.
If the Milky Way galaxy were the size of the United States, 13 light-years would be the equivalent of taking a stroll across New York City's Central Park, she added.
The estimated distance increases to 21 light-years when scientists apply the standard 95 percent confidence interval to their calculation.
The closest red dwarf to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light-years away in the three-star Alpha Centauri system.
Last October, scientists announced the discovery of an Earth-size (though hellishly hot) planet orbiting Alpha Centauri Bb, another star in the system. No worlds have been detected around Proxima Centauri yet.

Terrifying Video of the Mysterious booms in Indianapolis, USA – January 7 2013

A series of mysterious booms over Indianapolis around 12:14 am on jan 7th 2013. Officials say three big ones total. The recorder and his family did not catch the first on tape, only heard it.

Then the recorder grabbed his phone firstly to record the sirens outside. This is when he was able to catch the 2 last booms. This video is very freaky. The last boom shook their home and was so hard it cracked a window.
Incredible what is happening these days but the Earth has a very loud and energic way of saying it. Terrifying video…

Are Aliens from Other Planets Visiting Earth? Most Definitely!

Are Aliens from Other Planets Visiting Earth? Most Definitely According to Lou Baldin, Author of a New book, Coming Clean on UFOs and ET

The author states that extraterrestrials are behind human technological advances and wars and remain undetected due to military and government covert dealings with the Aliens. 

In a new book recently released entitled, Coming Clean on UFOs and ET part 5, Baldin says that extraterrestrials frequently interact with humans, giving them ideas and life lessons during abductions.

The book is one in a series of 6 books, a compilation of answers by Baldin to questions by posters on his website concerning UFOs and Alien beings that frequently are making contact with humans.

Baldin served in the military in the early seventies and states that he had personal contact with extraterrestrial beings during his tour of duty while stationed at a number of army bases in the US and overseas.

According to Baldin Aliens have bases in the oceans and in underground caverns in several secret locations around the world, usually near or on military bases. Baldin indicates that the military is working with certain Alien factions to thwart renegade Alien beings that have subverted Third World Countries and keeps them in a perpetual state of war to camouflage Alien activities in those countries.

Baldin states that most governments around the world know about Aliens coming to this planet and have dealings with such beings but keep a tight lid on those activities and dogmatically dismiss and ridicule the whole UFO phenomena and people who dare speak of it.

In the series of books that the author has written he gives insight to the Alien beings and shares some of the information he received during his contacts with extraterrestrial, and some of the bizarre things he saw and experienced inside the Alien ships during and after his military career.

Inside the Alien ship, the author experienced sensations far different and more intense than the normal five senses and was able to recall memories quickly and accurately; a sensation that took getting used to. There were other people inside the ship but most did not appear to be conscious of where they were; they didn’t talk and waited outside of a room for their turn to enter, as if at a doctor’s office, said the author.

The ship didn’t have seating and some rooms didn’t have doors; one room had a table with a man lying on it with no clothes on and bizarre objects flew around him while two Aliens stood by watching the presumably medical procedure being done on the man, said the author.

Baldin has published 13 books covering diverse subject matter such as UFOs, religion and history.
