Is extraterrestrial life possible?

Often, people laugh when they hear about UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects), considering that they belong to the sphere of science fiction. Some scientists suggest that extraterrestrial intelligence may be possible at 12 light-years from Earth! As intelligence exists on our planet, it may inevitably exist in the same or a different form in other habitable worlds. The Drake equation refers to the probability of an active, communicative, alien civilization in our galaxy (Milky Way), but the lack of evidence for this consists of the Fermi paradox.

In December 2017, NASA announced that researchers from Google and The University of Texas at Austin, using machine learning, discovered Kepler-90i. This sizzling hot, rocky planet orbits its star once every 14.4 days. Machine learning is an approach to artificial intelligence in which computers learn. In the case of Kepler-90i, computers learned to identify planets by finding in Kepler data incidences where the telescope recorded signals from worlds beyond our solar system. These are known as exoplanets. Several other exoplanets were discovered during the last decades.

How did life come on Earth?

Life on Earth was created from complex molecular reactions. These molecules originate from comets, asteroids, meteorites, or supernova explosions. In the past, Mars was a fertile planet. The considerable number of canals on Mars's surface proves that. A theory claims that many rocks from the 'red planet' (Mars) surface were hurled to outer space after an impact with an asteroid. Some of these meteorites fell on Earth. These meteorites carried bacteria that created the first life forms on our blue planet. A Martian meteorite containing bacterial fossils was already found in Antarctica. This meteorite fell in Antarctica in 1984, and in 1994 scientists announced that it had microscopic fossils of bacteria!

Interestingly, comets, meteors, and asteroids may carry molecules that create life. Scientists traditionally believed that the crucial element for life is carbon. Another candidate for a life-giving molecule may be silica. Scientists presume that primitive life forms might exist under the icy surface of Europe, one of Jupiter's moons, as they think there is water under the ice, making bacterial life possible! Anthropological discoveries have shown that primitive primates (ancestor life forms of humans) appeared on the Earth 65 million years ago, while the first hominids appeared fourteen million years ago.

Earth is 4.54 billion years old. That means an extended period between the Earth's existence and the birth of life. The Phanerozoic Eon (from the time life first appeared on Earth until the formation of primitive organisms) started 541 million years ago. Homo sapiens (modern humans) appeared just 200,000 years ago, while DNA samples were analyzed and lived 45,000 years ago.

Perhaps sometime between Earth's birth, 4.5 million years ago, and human's birth, 200,000 years ago, humanity pre-existed on Earth but was eliminated in war or due to rapid climate changes that perhaps humans were responsible as today with the planet's pollution causing global warming, extreme weather conditions and rising global sea levels. According to this view, this circle of destruction and rebirth still goes on and on. Even today, humanity is on the verge of obliteration from a world war or climate change from pollution. Another possibility that we should consider is Earth's colonization by extraterrestrial creatures!

Who spoke first about extraterrestrial life?

Lucian of Samosata (c. 125), an ancient Greek satirist, rhetorician, and pamphleteer, published around 175 CE the novel "A True Story," the world's first novel featuring space travel and interplanetary battles! In the modern era, stories about extraterrestrial life include the Flash Gordon space adventure series of 1936, the comics of the 1930s, including Marvel of 1939, and the 1938 radio drama "The War of the Worlds," which caused public panic.

Since when have UFOs been witnessed?

Since Roswell's incident of the UFO crash in 1947, thousands of people have reported seeing a UFO. However, we should keep in mind that about 90 percent of those describing a UFO may have misinterpreted normal phenomena, including meteorological balloons and aircraft, or may have visual illusions. Many people claimed that they had been abducted by aliens who sent them back to Earth after carefully examining their bodies. Such abductions have been recorded at police departments worldwide, and in some cases, the abducted persons recalled details under hypnosis.

Scientists found implants in the body of some kidnapped people, while under ultra-violet light, they spotted injections on many different body parts. Other witnesses have reported that they saw embryos in the alien spaceships where they were transferred. Some pregnant women even said that aliens took their fetuses! Of course, none of these allegations can be proved. Some allege that UFOs are responsible for the disappearance of aircraft and ships at the Bermuda 'Devil's Triangle.' In some cases, fighter jets have chased UFOs until they suddenly disappear. Moreover, astronauts have described UFO sights from space during space missions.

About mutilated people and cattle by aliens

Many years ago, a dead body was found in Brazil. It had multiple injuries, cuts, and missing vital body parts, and there were small holes in the body through which vital organs and tissues were removed by suction. These holes were on the shoulders, the arms, and under the lower jaw. The eyeballs were also removed. Through other holes, many other tissues were removed as well. For instance, brain tissue was removed through a hole in the skull! Moreover, part of the lung, the liver, the heart, the stomach, and the intestines were removed.

Some claimed that extraterrestrials had removed human tissues. However, this is only a hypothesis. Many other cases of human bodies with the same injuries and cuts were found in rural areas worldwide, including the USA, the UK, Puerto Rico, and Brazil. At these places, weird phenomena were reported, such as strange lights. Also, amputated cattle with similar injuries were found. The cows had no eyeballs, while ears, lip membrane, tongue, and other organs were removed.

Do we search for extraterrestrial life?

Many people have captured UFOs in photos or videos. Eyewitnesses also include pilots of Air Force jets or commercial airlines. Also, many witnesses have described UFOs landing in various places worldwide. Although the authorities were notified of their appearance, their existence was never officially confirmed, regardless of the numerous eyewitnesses.

SETI (abbreviation of "search for extraterrestrial intelligence") is scientific research aiming to discover alien life. This program is based on sending radio frequencies (R.F.) signals and waiting for an extraterrestrial reply to incoming radio signals. Of course, this is naive, as the 'aliens' may have a different civilization and intelligence superior or incompatible with humans. That means they may not be able to receive those radio signals. But even if we did, for instance, from 44 light-years far from Earth, their reply would come after 88 years!

Similarly, if they live one hundred light-years away, we'll receive their response after two hundred years! Another area for improvement is that many received signals are artifacts. Some originate from radio signals.

Is there an international conspiracy regarding UFOs?

At the end of the 1970s, when the American nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman legally asked all the secret agencies'' (NSA) for documents referring to UFOs, they refused to give any evidence. The federal judge demanded at least to see the reports himself. When the intelligence services allowed him to read just twenty-one pages of those documents, among them lots of confidential records, they announced that they should not be released to the public for security reasons. In the papers eventually handed to Friedman, there was a reduction (filled with black) of nearly 90 percent of the content!

It is said that there is a secret agreement between countries worldwide regarding the covering up of information about UFOs. According to this, governments worldwide hide all the evidence about UFOs. Some presume this because aliens are already everywhere and control everything! Others attribute international conspiracy to the sinister intentions of the aliens that should not worry the population as this may cause turmoil and massive hysteria. However, if such a threat exists, all countries should be informed to be protected. In any case, they can only be kept secret for a brief time.

UFO eyewitnesses are laypersons, many of whom are reliable, such as police and army officers. It is said that often eyewitnesses of UFOs have been threatened by governments not to talk about what they experienced, and that's why there are no official reports of UFOs, or they rarely exist, as most remain classified. However, extraterrestrials may have been visiting the Earth for centuries, and there is some evidence for that, explained below.

Is there a possibility of sophisticated ancient technology on our planet?

The writer Erich von Daniken was the first who suggested that ancient mythology reveals that high technology existed in the ancient world. His theory is based on the evidence of 'weird' paintings, such as cave wall paintings depicting individuals resembling astronauts. He also noticed awkward devices and long ground traces in remote areas corresponding to airplane runways! How did people develop it is still unknown. Some argue that this ancient clue is coincidental and unrelated to ancient technology. Something like the weird shapes of clouds or the moon resembling cheese.

Daniken revealed a prehistoric cave drawing that shows an astronaut and an ancient form of 'battery' found in Babylon. He also demonstrated written data in the Bible where the prophet Ezekiel (seventh century B.C.) describes a possible abduction by a UFO! The main question remains if this high technology was created by humans or by extraterrestrials that passed their technology to humans.

Additionally, at the mysterious Stonehenge in the U.K., some have observed alterations in the intensity of the magnetic field, primarily upon the line crossing the stones. These stones are about 4,000 years old, and scientists presume they were built for astronomical observations.

As mentioned, Erich von Daniken implied that Earth was inhabited by a civilization that utilized sophisticated technology. However, whether this civilization was terrestrial, or extraterrestrial must be clarified. Ancient mythology conceals an elevated level of technology. It is still being determined when this high technology was developed, but it was before the Bronze Age. Perhaps it was developed in the prehistoric period.

Various examples of presumably ancient sophisticated technology in ancient Greece include the flying machine that Daedalus had invented and soared like an eagle with his son Icarus; the ancient Greek flying device of Archytas of Tarentum 4th century B.C called ''Peristera" (meaning pigeon); the robot Talos at Crete that Jason confronted; flying chariots such as Pegasus (the flying horse); the flying golden ram that carried Phrixus and Helle; the lightning of God Jupiter (called Zeus in ancient Greece) that some say that maybe was something like a laser beam; the giant Cyclops that Ulysses confronted etc. About the Cyclops referred to in the Odyssey, some say it is not a coincidence that the word means 'circular view' in ancient Greek and presume that it was a kind of radar.

Ancient technology, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, was indeed developed, and a notable example is an Antikythera mechanism that was the first computer on Earth! It had a complicated device dated 150 B.C. It was something more than an astrolabe, as archeologists initially thought. Other examples include the inventions of Archimedes and the outstanding inventions of the Hero of Alexandria and his teacher Ctesibius. The former invented Aeolipile, the first steam turbine, while the latter invented the hydraulic, an instrument like the modern church organ!

Erich von Daniken, in his books, described many clues of astonishing ancient high technology. Hints of ancient technology in depictions such as prehistorical murals, an Aztec cave painting showing an astronaut, and ground traces of ancient aircraft runways are at least weird. Daniken wonders if the ancient Gods were aliens who inhabited the Earth and created that fantastic technology. Consequently, he implies that this ancient technology was extraterrestrial.

Perhaps ancient high technology is depicted in art, including sculpture, ancient murals, and cave 'graffiti' with images resembling astronauts and strange machines. UFOs also appear in some Renaissance paintings. Other clues may be land trails resembling airport runways, geometrical shapes seen only from the air, etc. An interesting painting is the 1561 celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg. Some believe that it depicts a battle between UFOs. You may see it at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Himmelserscheinung_%C3%BCber_N%C3%BCrnberg_vom_14._April_1561.jpg

The following videos show these clues:

Geometrical shapes formed mysteriously in crop fields.

A remarkable phenomenon, still unexplained, is the perfect geometrical shapes formed suddenly overnight in crop fields in the U.K. and other countries. Some videos show small fireballs creating those shapes! There are a lot of theories for these perfect geometrical shapes formed mysteriously in cornfields. One theory says they are a fraud or created by whirls or mysterious light balls, described below.

Remarkably some of the above shapes in crop fields have 3D images. At the same time, there is one shaped precisely like the drawing scientists sent to space with Voyager that describes the position of Earth in our galaxy and the human body of a man and a woman. Surprisingly, when scientists studied crops, such as corn, where shapes were formed, they found molecular alterations in the plant. Another surprising finding was that the corn stems were severed, perhaps with an electric device, to make perfect geometrical shapes. However, they were not burned. It should be added that there are landing traces found in many cases and unknown materials, like one that looks like silver foil that, as some allege, is extraordinarily strong and cannot be destroyed. A similar silver foil was found in Roswell's UFO crash area.

Geometrical shapes are common in the universe. For example, Jupiter, Trojan asteroids, and the sun form two equilateral triangles. Three of the moons that orbit Saturn also create a 60-degree angle. The same occurs with the other three different Saturn moons. If we draw concentric circles through these satellites, we have the hexagon shape, which also appears in flower petals and snowflakes. Surprisingly, in ancient Greece, someone could form on a map ''Sacred Triangles'' between temples and triangles between major cities. Pythagorean numbers also have a mystery.

My personal experience of witnessing a lightball

When we were kids, my brother and I were eyewitnesses of something scarce. It was summer when we saw in the sky a giant fireball falling vertically from a higher to a lower point in the atmosphere. Then it suddenly disappeared without touching the ground.

The fireball we saw in the sky is known as 'ball lightning,' which probably is plasma concentration. It is a real but infrequent phenomenon to be seen. Some describe it as a meteorological phenomenon. In any case, because of the scarcity of this phenomenon, it has yet to be studied sufficiently. Some claim that if a ball of lightning strikes a house roof, strange events occur in the house, such as unexplained energy and sounds. These smaller fireballs may cause the pre-described perfect geometrical shape formation on crop fields, such as in the UK, which has been recorded in amateur videos.

Regarding ball lightning, we should better call them "fireballs" because many of them are small. Giant fireballs have been witnessed by about 10,000 people (including me and my brother), but they are still unknown to physicists. My father, some years later, also saw a small light ball ascending the side of a building. I wonder if this small fireball is the same as the large one and if they both consist of 'plasma.' Some say that these strange light balls, especially the small ones, may have a form of intelligence!

It should be added that the 'Holy Fire' miracle occurring every year at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem on the day preceding Orthodox Easter is also accompanied by small fireballs that appear in the church. Many people have witnessed them, including my aunt. At the same time, those touching candles with the holy fire are not burned, as my aunt described.

The notorious Roswell incident

Strangely, the UFO craze started after the Roswell event on July 2, 1947. Roswell is a town southwest of New Mexico in the USA. That day citizens reported the crash of a UFO on the land. At first, the American air force confirmed the UFO's fall. Still, later they took it back and tried to convince the public that the unknown object was a broken meteorological weather balloon, despite the number of eyewitnesses. The area where the UFO crashed is still a restricted military area. The famous Area 51 is a highly classified US Air Force (USAF) facility within the Nevada Test and Training Range.

According to the Ufologists, the authorities recovered the pieces of the alien ship and some dead alien bodies. Some witnesses reported that there were two to four corpses on the field. Shortly after the crash, the army restricted the area. UFO researchers and journalists managed to find twenty-seven eyewitnesses confirming the event. One claimed that among the pieces of the alien ship was an unknown material that looked like silver foil, but it did not wrinkle when touched. The eyewitnesses who spoke for the event were the local sheriff, a local funeral office owner, and firefighters. However, it is said that the military threatened the witnesses not to talk publicly about what they saw. So, most of them or their relatives spoke decades after the incident.

In 1992, the US Air Force official report concluded that information about recovered alien bodies was probably a combination of converted memories of accidents involving military losses with memories of the recovery of humans resembling dummies of military programs, mixed with hoaxes. In 2020, an Air Force historian revealed a recently declassified report about the Roswell incident in which two Roswell personnel donned radioactive suits with oxygen masks while retrieving a weather balloon after an atomic test. When a lone woman in the desert saw them, she fainted.

A video released some decades ago about the Roswell event shows doctors conducting an autopsy on one of the white alien dead bodies collected by the army in Roswell. The video was tested for its authenticity. The official announcement was that it was fake based on some details. Those included a telephone that was a newer type than the ones sold in 1947. However the video's authenticity is still debated, and some claim it is accurate. The official explanation is that the slides show a mummified Native American child who had been on display at the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum in Mesa Verde, Colorado.

Is the U.S. military technology extraterrestrial?

One of the conspiracy theories claims that the U.S. has used extraterrestrial technology in the Roswell UFO that crashed on Earth. For example, they claim it has used it on the 'stealth' aircraft technology that remains confidential. It is not a coincidence these planes resemble a UFO. In fact, they are invisible to radars by using materials such as aluminum. This may be related to the 'strange' silver foils some noticed at the crash area of Roswell's UFO. Many speak about 'Area 51' of the U.S. Air Force and the secret technology that is kept there.

But the potential use of UFO technology is not only a privilege of the U.S. Maybe the Russians are also using UFO technologies. In fact, there is a theory about the meteorite that fell in Tunguska, Siberia, on June 30, 1908, indicating that the object wasn't a meteor, comet, or a small asteroid as officially believed, but a UFO that crashed in Tunguska and destroyed a large area. Another notable event is the Voronezh incident on September 27, 1989, in Voronezh, Russia (then the Soviet Union), where many were eyewitnesses of a UFO that landed there. However, there were no photos of the UFO to prove this.

The question remains whether UFOs are terrestrial or extraterrestrial. The opponents of extraterrestrial origin claim that they may be secret aircraft made by the U.S. But we cannot exclude possible cooperation between the USA and 'aliens!'

Are flying saucers a human invention?

Flying machines, like flying saucers, had been designed long before World War II. It has been recently revealed that in about 1938, the Nazis used secret technology, including jet planes and rocket aircraft, and the famous ballistic rockets (such as the V2) during the Blitz. Maybe the Nazis had designed flying saucers. Specifically, some claim that the 'Horten Ho 229' is one of the first UFOs created in 1944 by the Nazis!

The Nazis had an atomic bomb program before the U.S. By the war's end, they were close to inventing nuclear weapons. Some attribute their failure to the bombardment of their heavy water factory in Scandinavia. After WW2, many German scientists cooperated with the U.S., including Oppenheimer, who participated in the nuclear bomb program, and Werner von Braun, who organized the U.S. space program with the rocket missions landing on the moon. Their development was based on ballistic missiles used by the Nazis, such as the V1 flying bomb and the V2 rockets launched against England during the Blitz).

The central question is if it is a coincidence that UFO sights in the USA and later in the world started right after WW2, specifically after the Roswell event in 1947. In fact, UFO reports earlier than 1940 are exceedingly rare. In the 1960s, the USA began manufacturing futuristic airplanes, which may be the 'UFOs' that eyewitnesses saw worldwide. In Greece, in about 1990, a scientific researcher called Leuterios Saragas, in those times associated with the nuclear center Democritus, claimed that he examined UFO remains from a flying saucer that fell near Atalante. Based on chemical analysis, he concluded that the UFO was human-made and not extraterrestrial.

Do sophisticated stealth military aircraft resemble UFOs?

Today, the U.S. has a secret high technology, including artificial intelligence. Research in anti-gravity and teleportation (based on quantum teleportation) is ongoing. As mentioned above, the first flying saucers perhaps were invented by the Nazis. After World War II, the U.S. manufactured secret aircraft such as 'Canada VZ-9 Avrocar' (introduced in 1958), 'Lockheed U2' (in the 1950s), 'Lockheed Have Blue' (in the late 1970s), and 'Lockheed F-17 Nighthawk' (in the early 1980s). Other examples are the stealth bomb "B-2 Spirit" and the "F-22 Raptor," as well as the "F-5 Lightning." People are not familiar with these aircraft that may resemble extraterrestrial UFOs.

It is alleged that the secret aircraft of the US military aviation initially used the technology of the Nazis by German scientists who worked for the USA after WW2. However, it's still a mystery why since the Roswell incident of 1947, the U.S. and all other governments have denied the existence of extraterrestrial UFOs, despite the numerous movies with aliens in the American movie industry. The fact that extraterrestrial civilizations do exist is statistically possible. But if they cooperate secretly with the U.S. government, neither can be confirmed nor excluded. The question is whether aliens intend to pass their technology to us.

Do spy military aircraft resemble UFOs?

On February 4, 2023, the US military fighter jets shot down an unidentified balloon off the coast of North Carolina. The balloon had been flying above the US territory since January 28. On February 11, 2023, the US military fighter jet shot down another unidentified flying object over Northern Canada. For the one wafting in the US sky, it was revealed that the flying object was a Chinese spy balloon. Although China confirmed its existence, it denied that it was for surveillance but claimed that it was a meteorological balloon that had lost control of it!

Did a UFO appear in the sky of NYC on 9/11 during the terror attack?

On September 11, 2001, two commercial airplanes piloted by hijackers crashed on the twin skyscrapers of the World Trade Center in New York, while two other planes crashed into the Pentagon and Pittsburgh. About 6,600 people died. The terrorist group Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the terror attack. The attack became the excuse for the military campaign in Afghanistan.

According to Ufologists, an event that the mass media concealed was the appearance of a UFO. At the first moments of the collision of the two hijacked planes on the World Trade Center skyscrapers, a video camera recorded a UFO in the sky in New York. This UFO was sharply shaped, and at the moment of the collision, it moved horizontally beside the skyscrapers without being affected by the crash! Shortly after the accident, it disappeared. The official explanation was that the object was debris thrust out from the building or the airplane because of the force of the impact. But others claim it was a UFO.

My personal experience of witnessing a UFO

UFOs have been recorded by photo or video cameras. In some cases, the camera users were unaware of them until they saw the film. In December 1991, I was at the farm at my parents' house at nine o'clock in the evening. It was dark, and I suddenly saw a flying object passing by in the sky. Because of the dark, the three red lights of the object were only visible. Unfortunately, it was too dark to see its shape. I saw the three red lights at the same level, one in the middle. I couldn't believe this object followed a straight course so close to the ground and reached the neighbor's house without making any loud noise. I just listened to a distant, weird roar as if there was an airplane far away. That object passed by following a flat course relatively close to the ground, perhaps a half-mile until it disappeared from the horizon. It moved at a slow speed. If it were an airplane, the noise from its engine would be deafening, as it was close to me.

Was what I saw a real UFO or a stealth warplane? It is still a question. It is also a question if it was related to the fact that two months later (February 1991), the U.S. declared war against Iraq? I still feel that the object I saw was a secret U.S. aircraft rather than a UFO.

It is not a coincidence that at the same time, in 1991, there were many cases of UFO sightings worldwide. Interestingly, my brother saw the same kind of UFO in 2003. This UFO that my brother saw was flying following a closed course, moving from the west to the east. Its length and height were about the same as I saw in 1991.

Eventually, are UFOs terrestrial or extraterrestrial?

Some, including me, believe that UFOs are secret spy aircraft or warplanes made by the U.S. military. In contrast, others think they are extraterrestrials and may cooperate with the U.S. army or are hostile and spy on our planet, not keen to collaborate with us.

Numerous people have recorded UFOs in photos and videos and have even been reported by astronauts and pilots. Their publicity may debate the theory of being a secret military aircraft. Some speak about an international plot for the information about UFOs to remain confidential. Others claim that the film industry shows movies with 'aliens' to familiarize the public with UFOs. If UFOs were secret weapons of one or more dominant countries such as the US, Russia, and China, then the question is how they appear from nowhere, fly at incredible speeds, and suddenly disappear. They are witnessed by thousands of people, including military and commercial plane pilots.

The Ufologists' conclusion

According to Ufologists, UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin, aliens are already among us, and they silently control governments. They collaborate with the U.S. and other governments and watch everything happening on our planet. The problem is if their intentions are not peaceful.

The author's conclusion

From my perspective, UFOs are sophisticated surveillance or fighter aircraft of the US military. The craze with aliens started in the 20th century with the 1936 Flash Gordon series, the 1930s comics, and the 1938 radio drama "The War of the Worlds." UFO sights occurred after Roswell's incident in 1947, not involving a real UFO. Since then, people have been more amenable to UFO theories. At Area 51 or elsewhere, aviation scientists invented secret military aircraft that witnesses worldwide misunderstood as UFOs. The strange objects described or depicted before WW2 can be explained as meteorological phenomena or illusions.
