It is one of the greatest questions humankind has ever faced: are we alone in the cosmos? If alien life on other worlds exists, are there intelligent forms that may be capable of communication? Or is it even possible that some form of non-human intelligence might already be present closer to Earth than we realize? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, in our ongoing discussions about the possibility of exotic life forms and the possibility of non-human intelligence, we discuss a potential strategy for research that examines where life might be found, in what forms it may appear, and whether it could be lurking nearby unrecognized by modern science.

My special guest is L.A. Marzulli who's here to discuss what he thinks the alien phenomena really is and why everyone should be worried.     This book exposes the UFO phenomena, alien abductions, cattle mutilations, alien implants, and direct contact. It postulates that these are interdimensional beings not entities from another planet. It further exposes what may be the coming great deception as prophesied in the Bible.   Some sightings involving astronauts or NASA include: During the Gemini 4 mission, pilot Jim McDivitt spotted an object that he described as a "white cylindrical shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it." He took two pictures of it. His partner, Ed White, was asleep at the time.[5] McDivitt maintains that it was some unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg argues that it was most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.[6] In a transcript of Gemini 7 mission, the astronauts mention a "bogey" which ufologists have claimed was a reference to a UFO.[7] Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the astronauts' comments about a "bogey" as referring to booster-associated debris, and not a reference to some sort of UFO.[8] The astronaut who made the comments, Frank Borman, later confirmed that what he saw was not a UFO, and that when he offered to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers told him, "Well, I'm not sure we want you on the program."[7] Within the UFO community, stories have spread that Neil Armstrong was reported to have witnessed multiple UFOs during Apollo 11.[9] An explanation was that the sightings could have been attributed to jettisoned components. Additional stories were accredited to a hoax spread by science fiction writer Otto Binder.[1] Buzz Aldrin says his words were taken out of context from an interview in 2005 about the incident.[3] During a 2005 spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronaut Leroy Chiao reported seeing lights in a formation he described as "in a line" and "almost like an upside-down check mark".[4] The incident was promoted as a possible UFO sighting in the television series Are We Alone?.[4]Chiao later identified the lights as being from fishing boats "hundreds of miles below".[4] In August 2013, according to NASA TV, astronaut Christopher Cassidy saw a UFO float past the International Space Station near its Progress 52 cargo ship.[10] It was soon identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module.[10] On August 19, 2020, Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner posted a video on Twitter featuring UFOs on a time lapse he recorded of the Aurora Australis. Vagner dubbed the objects "space guests" with Roscosmos quote tweeting Vagner to say “An interesting and at the same time mysterious video made by the cosmonaut of Roscosmos Ivan Wagner from the International Space Station.”Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

EPISODE #1090 CONTACT AND CONSCIOUSNESS Richard welcomes an author and Board Member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences for a wide-ranging conversation relating to UFO/ET Contact, starting with the essential question: Are We Alone? The answer, says Mark Grober, is a resounding, "NO." Humans exist among a variety of advanced species, sometimes identified as aliens, spirits, beings of light, and beyond. In fact, our civilization seems to be regularly influenced by such nonhuman intelligences, even if we're not always aware of it. Near-death experiences and other phenomena of consciousness reveal that some species exist in other dimensions that our eyes cannot ordinarily see. Similarly, UFOs and alien abductions—which were examined by the former head of psychiatry at Harvard—provide additional evidence that we are not alone. GUEST: Mark Gober has served on the Board of the Institute of Noetic Sciences since 2019. He's an award-winning author of 7 books spanning the topics of consciousness science, spiritual awakening, political and economic theory, UFOs, the Great Reset, and medicine; and he is the host of the 2019 podcast series, "Where Is My Mind?" He is a magna cum laude graduate from Princeton, a former New York investment banker, and a former Partner at a Silicon Valley strategy firm.

Welcome listeners to Astronomy Daily, your go-to source for the latest news and updates in the fascinating world of space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of news stories to discuss. We'll kick things off with an intriguing study that challenges our assumptions about the rarity of intelligent alien life. Then we'll shift our focus to Scotland, where a rocket engine test at the Saxavord Spaceport led to an unexpected explosion. But don't worry, no one was injured. In more uplifting news, SpaceX has successfully launched 22 Starlink satellites into orbit using a new first stage booster, marking another milestone in their mission to expand global internet coverage. Lastly, we'll delve into the mysterious Omega Centauri cluster, where recent findings dispute the existence of a mid-sized black hole, pointing instead to a horde of smaller ones. So sit back, relax, and let's explore the universe together.- **Are We Alone in the Universe? A New Take on the Drake Equation**: Astronomers David Kipping from Columbia University and Geraint Lewis from the University of Sydney have taken a fresh look at the famous Drake equation, applying probabilistic logic to provide new insights. Their study suggests that life would either be present on nearly all Earth-like exoplanets or none of them at all, visualized as a U-shaped graph. This challenges our assumptions about the rarity of intelligent alien life and keeps the hope alive for finding extraterrestrial intelligence.- **Rocket Engine Explosion at Saxavord Spaceport**: An unexpected turn of events unfolded at the Saxavord Spaceport in Scotland when a rocket engine exploded in flames during a test. The incident, which took place in the Shetland Islands, was caught on BBC footage. Thankfully, the site had been evacuated prior to the test, and no injuries were reported. Despite this setback, the spaceport remains on track to potentially become the first British site to undertake a vertical satellite launch into space.- **SpaceX Launches 22 Starlink Satellites**: SpaceX has successfully launched 22 Starlink satellites into orbit, continuing their ambitious project to expand global internet coverage. The launch took place from the Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex in Florida, featuring a brand new Falcon 9 first stage booster. This achievement marks the 80th landing on a drone ship and the 341st booster landing to date for SpaceX, showcasing their unparalleled capability in achieving consistent, reliable results.- **Mystery of Omega Centauri's Black Hole**: A new study challenges earlier findings that suggested the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of the Omega Centauri cluster. Instead, the latest research finds no substantial evidence for such a black hole, suggesting that a swarm of smaller black holes can equally explain the motion of fast-moving stars near the cluster's center. This ongoing debate highlights the complexities of deciphering celestial phenomena and showcases the vibrant nature of astronomical research.For more Astronomy Daily, including our continually updating newsfeed, visit our website at astronomydaily.io. Follow us on social media at AstroDailyPod on Facebook, X, YouTubeMusic, and TikTok.

The Enduring Search for Alien Life For millennia, humanity has gazed at the stars and wondered: are we alone? With the vastness of the universe, the possibility of extraterrestrial life seems high. Today, science is fueling our quest! Powerful telescopes like James Webb scan exoplanets, searching for atmospheres with chemicals linked to life on Earth. Rovers on Mars hunt for biosignatures, hints of past or present microbes. We're even sending probes further, like Voyager 1, carrying messages in case they encounter advanced civilizations. The search for alien life isn't just about finding little green men. It's about understanding our place in the cosmos. If life arose elsewhere, it could rewrite biology textbooks! Will we find intelligent life? Only time and exploration will tell, but the journey itself is a thrilling leap into the unknown. Thanks for listening to Russell Johnson, Peter Mingils (386) 445-3585

Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist and author. His 1976 book The Selfish Gene popularised the gene-centred view of evolution, as well as coining the term meme. Dawkins is a vocal atheist and is often referred to as one of the four horsemen of the New Atheism movement which began to grain traction in the mid-2000s, catalysed in large part by Dawkin's 2006 book, The God Delusion.

"Are We Alone? In an exclusive interview, Dr. Vishal Gajjar, a leading researcher on the Breakthrough Listen project, discussed his groundbreaking work using machine learning and AI to facilitate the detection of technosignatures on the project's search for Extraterrestrial life. The Breakthrough Listen project, led by the University of California Berkeley and the SETI Institute, is one of the most ambitious efforts to search for intelligent life in the universe. Using some of the world's largest radio telescopes, the project scans the cosmos for signs of intelligent civilizations, such as radio signals and other technosignatures. Dr. Gajjar, who is a principal investigator on the project, is using AI to help analyse the vast amounts of data generated by the telescopes. "The amount of data we collect is enormous, and it would be impossible for humans to go through it all," he explained. "Using machine learning algorithms, we can sift through the data much more efficiently and identify patterns that might indicate the presence of a technosignature." One of the key challenges of the project is distinguishing between signals that are truly indicative of Extraterrestrial life and those that are just background noise. Dr. Gajjar's AI algorithms are able to filter out false positives, making the search for technosignatures more accurate. The use of AI in the Breakthrough Listen project is not only increasing the efficiency of the search for Extraterrestrial life, but it's also pushing the boundaries of what we can do with this technology. "We're using AI in a way that it's never been used before," said Dr. Gajjar. "It's exciting to think about the potential implications of this work, not just for our understanding of the universe but also for other fields like medicine and finance." The Breakthrough Listen project is a 10-year initiative with funding from the Breakthrough Initiatives, a program founded by internet investor and philanthropist Yuri Milner. Currently we have purchased time on the GBT in Virginia in the US and the Parkes telescope in Australia and we have time on about a dozen other radio telescopes around the world and we have also purchased time on optical telescopes. This is an exciting time for the search for Extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Gajjar's work with AI on the Breakthrough Listen project is a major step forward in this quest. As Dr. Gajjar put it, "The potential discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth would be one of the most profound discoveries in human history. I'm honoured to be a part of this effort and can't wait to see what we'll find." `

My special guest tonight is author Jeff Danelek who's here to discuss his book called  UFOs: The Great Debate: An Objective Look at Extraterrestrials, Government Cover-Ups, and the Prospect of First Contact.     UFO sightings in outer space are sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by astronauts while in space that they could not explain at the time. These sightings have been claimed as evidence for alien visits by ufologists.  Some of the alleged sightings never occurred: science fiction writer Otto Binder perpetuated a hoax claiming Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong had encountered UFOs during the Apollo mission.[1]UFO proponents see comments by astronauts or photos processed by NASA as one of the "strongest bodies of evidence" because they are considered to be of high trustworthiness; however, NASA Assistant Administrator for Legislative Affairs, Robert F. Allnut, concluded in a 1970 letter, "after fifteen years of manned space voyages including space stations and landing on the Moon, spacemen have brought back not a shred of evidence – verbal, photographic, or otherwise – for the existence of extraterrestrial spacecraft, or 'UFOs'."[2]  In 2009, footage from NASA was posted on YouTube by ufologists which "renew[ed] UFO conspiracy theories that the government is hiding knowledge about its interactions with intelligent life" by relying on a "lack of context" to promote a "collection of indistinct imagery and allegations".[3] A number of the incidents were collected for an episode of the 2014 television series Are We Alone?     Are we alone in the universe?  UFOs and all related phenomena have been deeply embedded into our culture's consciousness―the possibility that aliens are among us can't be easily dismissed or ignored. Today, one burning question keeps the fire of speculation raging: Do aliens really exist?  With a fair-minded, yet incisive, look at the case for and against extraterrestrial life, J. Allan Danelek takes you on a tantalizing tour of the controversial issues, paranormal experiences, and scientific theories surrounding UFOs and alien intelligence in this stimulating book on UFOs.  One big conspiracy?  Decide for yourself as you consider the fascinating facts―the mysterious crash in Roswell, crop circles, alien abductions, radar and satellite observations, and more. Danelek delves into government cover-ups, examines the prospect of space travel, and even proposes scenarios of first contact with an alien race.  By taking part in this captivating discussion, we can discover the truth about our world and gain insight into human nature.

Who do you think you are? What do you think you are?We can all find myriad ways to describe ourselves and we often rely on these descriptors to give us our ‘sense of identity.' “I'm a mother of three, a nuclear physicist, a passionate tango dancer and an advocate for animal rights…”The problem with this approach is that our descriptors are always subject to change, and even subject to debate in some cases.We're only ‘young' until we become not so young. We're only ‘successful' until we redefine what success is, which is often based on someone else's judgment. We're only X until it becomes more fashionable to be Y and it suits us better to become one of those…So is it any wonder that most of us have this gnawing sense of uncertainty. We're trying to build a sense of identity on the shifting sands of circumstances and subjective judgments. And as soon as we do settle on a solid sense of identity, something changes to make it shaky again.Thom's got your back though.

Well, that's the biggest question in science that I can think of anyway. So what's the answer? Well, the short answer is “We don't know.” We have only one place that we know has life and we're standing on it. Earth. We have a dataset of one point. Easy to graph, huh? But let's take a few minutes to think about that one point and examine it closely. It's all we've got, so what else are we gonna do? We don't have dozens of data points, but we do have this one and all the scientists in the world are studying it!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Join us for the second week of our 4-week Easter series Where’s the Lamb? This week we’ll continue with ‘Are We Alone in this Life’ from Pastor Lindsey Murphy. Years ago there was a book series called "Where's Waldo". It had numerous pages filled with sketches that had an overwhelming amount of people and other objects in them. You’d scan the page looking for a character named Waldo in all that clutter. It felt impossible but finding Waldo was the goal. Spiritually, we often feel like we’re in the same boat. We’re searching for forgiveness and hope and peace and a second chance. We’re searching through the clutter of the spiritual landscape looking for someone or something that can save us and bring meaning and new hope to our lives. In this Easter series, we’ll discover that God has provided a lamb in every age to be sacrificed in our place, so we can experience His new and abundant life. In this series, we’re going to go on a journey from Genesis 8, where the first lamb was slain in our place - to the cross and the resurrection of Jesus, asking this question, “Where’s the lamb?” And the good news…God has pointed the lamb out to us so that we can’t miss Him. Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST) If you received Christ through this message, text TODAY to 937-358-6565. We would love to hear how Jesus is changing your life!

The Bozos look to analyze these claims and unpack the truths behind them. We want to answer the questions "where is everybody?" and "Are they living among us" as best we can. If we can't decide one way or another, we want to give our listeners the tools to seek out the truth for themselves. We also talk about Bigelow Aerospace and their involvement with UFO sightings, and other airborne anomalies, ending with a bonus conspiracy theory called "hollow earth theory."

Called “Psyche” it will explore a 140 miles/226 kilometers-wide asteroid called “16 Psyche.” Today it's passed a major milestone. Why is NASA going to ‘16 Psyche?'

Most asteroids are rocky or icy. pro·to·plan·et /ˈprōdōˌplanit/ a large body of matter in orbit around the sun or a star and thought to be developing into a planet. "this analysis supported the view that the moon originated from a glancing collision between the earth and another protoplanet 4,500 million years ago" 16 Psyche's core is tantalizingly similar to Earth's, which means that it could be the heart of a dead planet that lost its rocky outer layers or suffered from violent collisions. The metals that make-up this one-of-a-kind asteroid could, according to some, be worth $10,000 quadrillion. When will NASA's ‘Psyche' launch? Due to launch from Pad 39A at Cape Canaveral, Florida, in August 2022 on top of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, fly-past Mars in 2023, and begin orbiting the asteroid in January 2026, Psyche has just passed its “critical design review” stage. SpaceX could send NASA to Jupiter's potentially habitable moon Europa Congress has opened the door to a commercial rocket launching a NASA mission to deep space. Link: https://www.cnet.com/news/spacex-could-send-nasa-to-potentially-habitable-jupiter-moon-europa/ A Falcon Heavy, or another big SpaceX rocket, could carry NASA's planned Europa Clipper mission to the icy Jupiter moon Europa, which hides a subsurface ocean many scientists think may be able to support alien life. A draft of a congressional appropriations bill released Tuesday opens the door for Elon Musk's rocket company, or even a competitor like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, to provide the ride that'll send an orbiter to the Jovian system by 2025 and a lander to Europa by 2027. "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall use the Space Launch System, if available, as the 10 launch vehicles for the Jupiter Europa missions," reads the draft bill from the House Appropriations Committee. The bill also provides over $400 million for NASA to build the Europa orbiter. The same bill also allocates funds for NASA's Artemis mission to return astronauts to the moon, though it offers less than half of what the White House has asked for. The Trump administration has set a goal of sending the first woman astronaut to the surface of the moon by 2024, a goal that many inside the space industry are skeptical can be accomplished, particularly without the full support of Congress and its pocketbook. Are We Alone? Discovery of Billions of Earth-Like Planets May Hold the Answer Link: https://scitechdaily.com/are-we-alone-discovery-of-billions-of-earth-like-planets-may-hold-the-answer/ Study estimates there may be up to 6 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy. Earth is the only planet that's capable of hosting life in the universe. For years, scientists have been hunting for exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system – to discover the probability of life elsewhere in the Milky Way. To be considered Earth-like, a planet must be rocky, about the same size as Earth and orbit Sun-like (G-type) stars. It also needs to orbit in the habitable zones of its star, the distance where the planet isn't too hot or too cold for life to exist. Anybody out there? Over 4,100 exoplanets have been identified with the right size and right orbit of their star to support liquid water and potentially life. Earlier estimates of the existence of Earth-like planets range from about 0.02 potentially habitable planets per G-type star to more than 1 per G-type star.

The same bill also allocates funds for NASA's Artemis mission to return astronauts to the moon, though it offers less than half of what the White House has asked for. The Trump administration has set a goal of sending the first woman astronaut to the surface of the moon by 2024, a goal that many inside the space industry are skeptical can be accomplished, particularly without the full support of Congress and its pocketbook. Are We Alone? Discovery of Billions of Earth-Like Planets May Hold the Answer Link: https://scitechdaily.com/are-we-alone-discovery-of-billions-of-earth-like-planets-may-hold-the-answer/ Study estimates there may be up to 6 billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy. Earth is the only planet that's capable of hosting life in the universe. For years, scientists have been hunting for exoplanets – planets beyond our solar system – to discover the probability of life elsewhere in the Milky Way. To be considered Earth-like, a planet must be rocky, about the same size as Earth and orbit Sun-like (G-type) stars. It also needs to orbit in the habitable zones of its star, the distance where the planet isn't too hot or too cold for life to exist. Anybody out there? Over 4,100 exoplanets have been identified with the right size and right orbit of their star to support liquid water and potentially life. Earlier estimates of the existence of Earth-like planets range from about 0.02 potentially habitable planets per G-type star to more than 1 per G-type star.

Bobby & Ian Discuss a Huge question..Are We Alone? It has become one of the most speculative questions in science and is a central theme of science fiction and popular culture.In June 2020, astronomers from the University of Nottingham reported the possible existence of over 36 "active communicating intelligent civilizations", or Communicating Extra-Terrestrial Intelligent (CETI) civilizations (none within our current ability to detect due to various reasons including distance or size) in our own Milky Way galaxy, based on the latest astrophysical information.

Are there alien civilizations out there in our Galaxy? This is one of humanity's biggest questions. It is also one of the hardest as we know of only one example so far. Us. However,  a new study published in a journal recently has claimed that our Galaxy possibly holds 36 communicating alien civilizations!! They have used a modified form of the famous Drake Equation to come up with this estimate. But what kind of assumptions did they make in their calculations? Are those assumptions reasonable?

Two years ago we all watched sadly and triumphantly as Cassini speared into a fiery death into Saturn, and you might want to listen again to Episode 43 where we were guests at the NASA tracking station at Tidbinbilla. The news is that Cassini legacy just keeps on sciencing on. There’s a new paper in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society by Khawaja et al about a data analysis that revealed that Saturn’s moon Enceladus is erupting a plume of gas and ice grains from its south pole. Now we already knew that an that these plumes originate in the moon’s subsurface global ocean, and plume material travels through cracks in the icy crust and is ejected into space. What’s new is that the Cassini spacecraft’s Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) detected volatile, gas phase, organic species in the plume and the Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA) discovered high-mass, complex organic material in a small fraction of ice grains. Now these amines, carbonyls, and aromatic compounds could be ideal precursors for organic compounds in the warm depths of Enceladus’ ocean. So Life on Enceladus? We don’t know yet, but Cassini’s legacy doesn’t just live on, it’s shouting science very loudly. Stay tuned to Cassini’s echoes, there’s more to come! Next Episodes: Our very next episode is a fabulous interview with Amanda Wherrett who is a magnificent storyteller who paints a vivid picture of the Dark Sky Siding Spring Observatory, its amazing array of research telescopes and instruments, and the research happening there high on top of the Warrumbungle Ranges in remote New South Wales in Australia.

Red De Apoyo Para Victima de Sectas

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 2, 2016 59:11


Sin radares, telescopios ni equipo especializado de astronomía o estudios universitarios en Astronomía, el Centro de Estudios del Autoconomiento (C.E.A.), cobra dinero por los cursos que ofrece sobre Astronomía, Arqueología, Historia Mitológica, Psicología, etc.. El director del C.E.A. se llama Ernesto Barón.  Aprenden información falaz y hasta disparates transmitidos por personas que se autodenominan expertos, especialistas con doctorado y profesores, sin un diploma certificado por universidad acreditada alguna. Aprender ciencia, química y astronomía en universidades acreditadas es esencial para saber más sobre la posibilidad de vida extraterrestre; y este programa radial de la Red de Apoyo, intenta advertir sobre los peligros a los cuales son expuestos los individuos que pagan por estos cursos. Terminan creyendo que es real toda la ficción de historias fantásticas enseñadas por personas sin escrúpulos o quizás con delirios y psicosis, así como ocurrió con Marshall Applewhite, que había estado internado en hospital psiquiátrico, y no lo sabían los seguidores que desgraciadamente, en el 1997, se quitaron la vida. Cuarenta personas se quitaron la vida (39 en marzo y 1 en mayo), y otra luego se la quitó en el 1998, creyendo ellos que poniéndose bolsas en la cabeza después de quedar borrachos y con barbitúricos, era el medio para poder ser transportados desde la Tierra a una nave espacial, así como lo habían visto en la televisión, en el programa de Star Trek. Otro peligro evidente y repetitivo en el caso de todas las personas que son sometidas a estas organizaciones es que si no reciben ayuda, y no logran poner sus ideas y pensamientos en orden, a través del profundo análisis y del cuestionamiento lógico para poder distinguir la realidad de lo irreal, continuan creyendo que es real lo aprendido por años, aún así hayan presenciado crímenes y catastrofes como las ocurridas por ejemplo, con el suicidio colectivo ocurrido en California, en el 1997. Todavía, al día de hoy, un ex alumno del líder de la secta Heaven’s Gate, que se llama Richard Ford (en la secta llamado Rio D'Angelo), aún cree que su líder, llamado Marshall Applewhite, que también se suicidó, fue Jesucristo en su segunda venida. Ford aún delira creyendo que él es el escogido de esparcir hoy día el mensaje de Applewhite. La pareja entrevistada ofrece al público un ejemplo de los conflictos familiares que pueden provocar grupos como el C.E.A. gnóstico, cuando alguien llega a creer que es real lo que escucha en los cursos que ellos dan, los cuales no son ofrecidos por profesores de universidades acreditadas. Cuando alguien termina creyendo que es real y auténtica la experiencia extraordinaria que otro le cuenta sobre estudios, conocimientos o conversaciones con extraterrestres, o con entes espirituales, surgen muchísimos problemas de confianza dentro de la familia, y de adaptación social. En la mayoría de los países en el mundo se ofrece educación básica, y en los países más adelantados, las personas que aprenden este tipo de información falaz, sufren luego de incomprensión, escarnio, rechazo y burla; por lo difícil que se le hace a la población educada comprender cómo otra persona puede ser persuadida para que crea que sin estudiar astronomía, química o astrofísica, y estudiando técnicas para desarrollar el autoconocimiento y la meditación, puede aprenderse astronomía, historia y el desarrollo de poderes de comunicación mental con extraterrestres. Los directores del reconocido Programa de Radioastronomía, SETI (Búsqueda de Vida Extraterrestre) han escrito artículos revelando lo siguiente: “Si extraterrestres nos hubiesen visitado, habrían tenido que poseer tecnología superior a la nuestra, y serían los que estarían gobernando nuestro pleneta, pero no hay rastros ni señal alguna de vida extraterrestre. Sabemos que la probabilidad de vida extraterrestre es baja.” Se estimaba que, en 10 años, el Programa SETI de Radioastronomía encontrase señales de vida, y lleva 60 años sin encontrar nada. Las señales de tv y radio comenzaron a emitirse en nuestro planeta a través del espacio, hacen solo 100 años. La NASA expresa que ningún científico responsable y serio jamás ha clamado encontrar vida extraterreste. Robert Rood, distinguido astrofísico y químico, que escribió el libro titulado “Are We Alone?” (en español significa “¿Estamos solos?”), dice que ‘aún así sea improbable hallar vida en otros planetas, vale la pena mantenerse a la espectativa’. La NASA expresa acerca de todas estas personas que dicen haber encontrado vida en otros planetas, que esas personas no son astrónomos o científicos serios, y mucho menos lo son quienes argumentan que existió vida extraterrestre en este planeta. Tanto la NASA, como el Instituto SETI, invierten miles de millones de dólares americanos en tecnología y proyectos, dirigidos a descubrir vida en otros planetas. Ambicionan encontrar planetas habitables, no tan solo por causa del conocimiento, sino también teniendo en mente la posibilidad de que el ser humano pueda emigrar a algún otro planeta en un futuro. No es criticando ni burlándonos que podemos rescatar del peligro a las víctimas de estafadores del conocimiento o de la fe religiosa, sino invitándoles a estudiar y a cuestionar la autenticidad de lo aprendido. Este programa radial realiza este difícil intento, con la esperanza de que las víctimas de estos estafadores cuestionen todo lo que otra persona les cuenta y podría ser ficticio, fantástico o irreal. Este programa está dirigido a la gente que cree que mentalmente y sin estudios universitarios o académicos es posible la acquisición de conocimientos científicos, aprendiendo de personas que aseguran haber tenido contacto con gente intangible, que no se puede ver ni escuchar en ninguna parte del mundo. Está dirigido a la gente que lo cree sin duda alguna. Invitamos a que se cuestionen si es posible que el autor de tal revelación tenga algún trastorno mental, y si no lo tiene, podría inventárselo y mentir, o podría estar personalmente muy afectado necesitando escapar de la realidad, otra posibilidad sería que estuviese muy engañado creyendo lo que no es posible, sin poder diferenciar la realidad de la fantasía. Si estas creencias inducen agresión, desprecio y enajenación de gente que tu sabes que te aman y son personas de buen corazón; si desde que entraste a uno de estos grupos comenzaron a ser más frecuentes las discusiones en tu casa, las peleas y estás más tiempo alejado y enajenado de tus seres queridos, si sientes que discriminas con prejuicios a las personas que no simpatizan ni están deacuerdo con las creencias del grupo, esa doctrina es peligrosa y destructiva. Si es así, no es buena ni recomendable. ¡Ten cuidado con esas creencias!

On the evening of October 11, 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus was patrolling the deck of his ship Santa Maria when he saw a “light glimmering at a great distance.” He later claimed that it vanished and reappeared several times during the night, each time dancing up and down “in sudden and passing gleams.” Five centuries later, on NASA’s first mission to the moon, astronaut Buzz Aldrin reported seeing a mysterious ringed object traveling alongside Apollo 11.  In 1974, the Beatles’ John Lennon witnessed a flattened, cone-shaped object hovering above New York City.   In today’s lesson, “Are We Alone?” you will listen to a passage about mankind’s long fascination with UFOs and space aliens.  Listen carefully to the passage and then answer the questions that follow.  It’s always a good idea to take notes as you listen, but remember: don’t let your note-taking distract you from your listening.  The correct answers will follow immediately after the closing jingle, so make sure you stay tuned in.  Answers are also available on the KA Wordcast website as a separate track.   You may also download the lesson in PDF format and keep it for your reference.    And be sure to listen to the Key Vocabulary bonus track.   This will help you improve your understanding of the passage itself and give your vocabulary a big boost.
