New Evidence of Aliens

Man has long turned to the skies, wondering what else was out there and if we are the only sign of life in the vast universe. Incredibly, there are respected scientists who have dedicated their professional careers to shifting through all the new evidence of aliens.

In the years since the start of the Roswell and area 51 speculations, technology has progressed at incredible speed. Now academic researchers have the tools they need to search the depths of space for life from the most unlikely of spaces. Thanks to powerful telescopes, sensitive recording devices and digital technologies, scientists are collecting stronger evidence than ever that we are not alone.

In fact, top astronomers testified from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) in front of Congress. It is their belief that with expanded technology and continued funding that we will find evidence of alien life, perhaps even intelligent life, within the next 20 years.

Exciting Evidence #1: Unexplained Radio Bursts

Scientists and astronomers use a variety of tools in their quest for exploring the universe. While there are powerful telescopes aimed at the sky, there are also receivers that pick up cosmic sounds and the researchers do their best to interpret the signals. Many times there is no detectable pattern to the sounds and most are written off as random noises of the universe.

However, the Parkes radio telescope in New South Wales, Australia, picked up a high frequency burst of noise in 2007. Since then, there have been 10 more bursts recorded. The exciting news is that they have since analyzed these mysterious radio bursts and have found evidence that they occur in a complex and consistent pattern. The complexity and specificity of this pattern leads some leading astronomers to believe that this is indeed a message from intelligent life, and not just a cosmic event.

Exciting Evidence #2: Alien Seeds from Space

In the early 1970s a molecular biologist and Nobel prize winner, Francis Crick, speculated that alien life was spread to Earth through panspermia, or seeds hitchhiking through the universe of comets and meteors. For many decades there was no evidence to prove, or disprove, this unique theory. However, scientists discovered what they believe to be fossilized algae within a meteorite found in Sri Lanka.

More recently, a team of researchers from the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom launched a research balloon into the stratosphere of Earth. During its flight it collected dust and debris, which shockingly included a microscopic metallic ball.

This mysterious orb is the width of a hair and features filaments on the outside and a gooey center that may be the biological material of an alien life form. While the researchers have no conclusive proof that this is a seed containing alien life, it may very well be the seed that launches new awareness and understanding of alien life.

Just think of what the next two decades will reveal as we grow our abilities to explore the surrounding planets and venture deeper into space. Will today’s theories and wild ideas become the foundation of facts for the next generation? Only time will tell.
