Aliens Among Us An Otherworldly Season Of Pop

Zombies I can deal with. They are hungry, relentless and aren't immune to emotional vulnerabilities, but are dumb and slow witted, and a shotgun, axe or even a bat can dispatch them. Vampires aren't too much of a concern since they seem mainly occupied with seducing females, acting morose and feeling threatened by werewolves. Speaking of werewolves, their threat level can be monitored via a lunar smartphone app and avoided by simply not wandering any moors just one night a month. Meanwhile ghosts moan a lot and throw stuff, but tend to be attached to old houses, videotapes and the occasional doll.

So what's scarier than all four? After reading NASA researcher Richard B. Hoover's "Journal of Cosmology" article last March, where he states he's found fossils of bacterial life not native to Earth, the scariest threat out there could be one that can't be dispatched simply with a shotgun, wooden stake, silver bullet or exorcism: aliens from another world.

Within pop culture, 2011 is a year of intergalactic menaces - and it's about time. If movies and TV are guides to an alien threat, then humans should unite, get with the program and realize that when we receive visitors from outer space, it ain't going to be pretty.

First, let's dispel the myth of the good aliens who wish no harm or want to make us better citizens of the universe.

"

Traditional grey alien


Maybe they exist. In Smallville
" and the alien-stoner comedy "Paul", out on DVD Aug. 9, lifeforms from the stars crash land or breakdown in the bad galactic neighborhood that is Earth. But in the tradition of "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and "My Favorite Martian", they befriend and assimilate with us puny humans. Like Kryptonian Clark Kent from "Smallville", July's Autobots from "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and the Corps from the planet Oa in "Green Lantern", some even choose to battle evil and save humanity.

Yet for every good Autobot, Kryptonian and Green Lantern, there is a Decepticon, General Zod or evil Lantern Parallax. For every wisecracking Paul or cuddly E.T. that visits Earth to serve man, there are several variations of visiting aliens who wish to serve man - as dinner.

In June, a really giant, pissed-off alien was caught on film (in the film) in "Super 8". That one became ill-tempered because humans imprisoned him for decades, so maybe he had a good reason. No such reason for the spidery "skitters" from TNT's "Falling Skies", starring Noah Wyle. In the summer show, which focuses on a band of surviving humans six months after an alien invasion that wiped out much of humanity, the things from another world just seem to flat-out enjoy kidnapping and enslaving teenagers while killing the adults.

And what aliens wouldn't want to invade, dominate and dine on us (or even use as incubation vessels for baby aliens after a little face-sucking, ala "Alien")? Aside from possibly tasting delicious to interplanetary tastebuds, humans take up valuable real estate.

Plus, we are also apparently pretty fun to dress up as.

On the now-canceled series reboot "V", alien lizards wore human skin and have been hanging out on Earth for years until finally making a grand entrance in the skies. They seem pleasant and benevolent enough at first, sharing their energy source and technology until they reveal plans to breed with us Earthies.

From the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" in 1958 (and the '78 remake) and the schlocky "The Faculty", to the September found footage horror "Apollo 18" and October's "The Thing" prequel, this doppelganger plot is one of the more unnerving aspects to alien flicks. The infiltrating creatures look like us; they make it nearly impossible to trust anyone and inspire paranoia.

Still, at least with the human doppelganger aliens, there is typically a plan in place. The deception happens for a reason and the endgame can take years to be revealed. That gives the human race time to uncover the plot and fight back, but with the nasty beings that show up in our skies and start trashing the joint, there's hardly enough time to react.

Just like a criminal who doesn't bother to wear a mask, visiting extra-terrestrials who appear in their natural form have no intention of leaving survivors behind. The aliens of "War of the Worlds", "Independence Day", "Mars Attacks" are old-school Galactus baddies only concerned with wiping out human insects. They popped up again in more recent entries "Skyline" and "Battle: Los Angeles".

Other aliens who take time to visit Earth do so just to abduct for experiments, entertainment or forced employment. As seen in the disturbing films "Fire in the Sky", "Communion" and a few scenes in the otherwise shoddy "The Fourth Kind" - as well as the series and first film installment of "The X-Files" - abductors are the worst kind of alien threat.

The kid flick "Mars Needs Moms" features an unsettling plot where the Red Planet dwellers are in serious need of maternal attention. So they just visit human homes and take our mommas much like they nabbed Saint Nicholas in the 1964 movie "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". What's more is they even attempt to enslave frontiersman and Apaches in the Jon Favreau-directed "Cowboys and Aliens", due out July 29.

The idea that a highly intelligent being will enter a home, paralyze and steal a human away whilst they sleep all so they can satisfy their own pursuits is unsettling. It is so unnerving that even when the abduction is couched in a "good alien" story like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", one can't help but feel icky. Tales of torturous scientific exploration on abductees makes it hard to look at E.T.'s probing, glowing finger.

To wit, even director Steven Spielberg - who gave us the lovable E.T. - has apparently changed his tune and decided aliens are more frightening than exciting. After directing or producing films and TV shows in the 1980s which included only friendly offworlders (*batteries not included"), he made a switch to threatening ones in the late '90s (the "Transformers" and "Men In Black" franchises, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", "Super 8", "Cowboys and Aliens").

Maybe the latter-day Spielberg is more accurate when it comes to real visit from alien life. Perhaps our "first contact" won't be as fun as sharing Reese's Pieces - at least that's what renowned cosmologist Stephen Hawking thinks.

In his documentary "Stephen Hawking's Universe", the scientist says he believes life is out there, but it may not like us very much. He predicts they may be nomads, conquerors and colonists.

Yet, if our human track record with encountering perhaps we're sort of asking for some extreme probing as karmic payback.

Let's face it, in reality, humans are often xenophobic and slow to accept game-changing events. When aliens like Klaatu from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" land on our rock with a mission of peace, our world is so shaken that we welcome them with weapons, gunfire and dissections.

"The Doctor from Doctor Who" is often lamenting this childlike response, but Agent K from the incognito alien police force in 1997's "Men In Black" said it best: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals."

A look at mankind's history (ancient to present) shows we're willing to subjugate the less powerful, and those perceived to be inferior somehow. That's within our own species, so is it reasonable to expect alien lifeforms to behave any different when we're clearly less advanced than any beings able to traverse long distances on a space highway?

Hawking says no.

"If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans," he told the "Times of London" in April 2010.

Of course, even if humankind can fight off or elude the doppelgangers, destroyers and abductors, we may still fall victim to simple "microfossils of cyanobacteria," as NASA's Hoover describes them.

But on the upside, if popular culture has taught us anything, if we get infected by strange bacterium, we'll likely just turn into vampires or zombies - and those are easy enough to kill.

The Coyne Ufo Incident The Pilot Put The Helicopter Into A Dive
THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE APPEARED IN THE NOV. 4, 1973, EDITION OF THE MANSFIELD NEWS JOURNAL. IT WAS WRITTEN BY A UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTER. THIS CASE STANDS OUT AS ONE OF THE MOST CREDIBLE UFO INCIDENTS OF ALL TIME, THERE WERE MULTIPLE WITNESSES ON THE GROUND IN IN THE HELICOPTER ITSELF, ALL OF UNIMPEACHABLE CHARACTER. IT HAS BEEN ENDLESSLY INVESTIGATED AND DETERMINED TO BE A REAL. CLEVELAND -- ARMY RESERVE HELICOPTER PILOT CAPT. LAWRENCE COYNE IS A MILITARY COMMANDER WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS (UFOS) OR LITTLE GREEN SPACEMEN. BUT AFTER A NEAR MISS TWO WEEKS AGO BETWEEN HIS HELICOPTER AND A "BIG, GRAY, METALLIC-LOOKING" OBJECT IN THE SKY OVER MANSFIELD, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK."I HAD TO FILE AN OFFICIAL REPORT IN DETAIL TO THE ARMY ON THIS THING," HE SAID."Coyne is a member of the 316th Medical Detachment stationed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. He was returning from Columbus at 11:10 p.m., Oct. 18, when the UFO showed up near where the Air National Guard has a squadron of jet fighters based.He said a check turned up that none of the unit's F-100 Super Saber Jets were in the air when the UFO appeared. Coyne said when he first encountered the UFO, his helicopter was cruising at 2,500 feet. He had the controls set for a 20-degree dive, but the craft climbed to 3,500 feet with no power."I HAD MADE NO ATTEMPT TO PULL UP," HE SAID. "THERE WAS NO NOISE OR TURBULENCE, EITHER."Coyne said a red light appeared on the eastern horizon, and was first spotted by his crew chief, Sgt. Robert Yanacsek."The light was traveling in excess of 600 knots," Coyne said. "It came from the horizon to our aircraft in about 10 seconds. We were on a collision course."The pilot said he put his helicopter into a dive."At 1,700 feet I braced myself for the impact with the other craft," he said. "It was coming from our right side. I was scared. There had been so little time to respond. The thing was terrifically fast."There was no crash."We looked up and saw it stopped right over us," Coyne said. "It had a big, gray metallic-looking hull about 60 feet long. It was shaped like an airfoil or a streamlined fat cigar. There was a red light on the front. The leading edge glowed red a short distance back from the nose. There was a center dome. A green light at the rear reflected on the hull."Coyne said the green light swiveled like a spotlight and beamed through the canopy of his craft, bathing the cabin in green light. He said as he and members of the crew stared at the craft his helicopter began to climb without his guidance."I had made no attempt to pull up," he said. "All controls were set for a 20-degree dive. Yet we had climbed from 1,700 to 3,500 feet with no power in a couple of seconds with no g-forces or other noticeable strains."Coyne said the UFO finally moved off to the west and was gone.MANSFIELD -- More than 40 years ago strange things were happening in the skies over north central Ohio. A close encounter in Mansfield, that has since become known as "The Coyne Incident," is still raising eyebrows among believers and UFO investigators. That evening, in a soybean field on the west side of Galion, Rene Boucher and her brother Brad encountered a bright light in the sky that has lured her from Florida for another sojourn into that field.It was about 11 p.m. on Oct. 18, 1973, when an Army Reserve helicopter came perilously close to colliding with an unidentified flying object. Arrigo "Rick" Jezzi, 56, who now lives in Cincinnati, was flying the Huey helicopter that night. Three decades later, he is still not sure what happened. Jezzi was one of four members of an Army Reserve unit based at Hopkins Airport in Cleveland on board. The crew was en route to Cleveland from Columbus."Capt. Larry Coyne was the pilot," Jezzi said. "I was in the left seat, actually flying the Huey at the time. We were near Mansfield flying at 2,500 to 3,000 feet."John Healey and Robert Yanacsek were in the back of the Huey, near a cargo door with a Plexiglas window."One of the guys in the back reported a red light. He said it looked like an aircraft light on the right horizon," Jezzi said. "I couldn't see it."Jezzi was flying from the left seat. On the other side of the Huey there was a 12-foot section of fuselage between the side window and the cargo doors. He figures the red light was in his blind spot."Then I heard 'I think its coming toward us'," Jezzi said. "The next thing I knew Larry took control of the throttle. We went into a maneuver, a controlled free fall. We dropped about 2,000 feet."Jezzi said if Coyne had not made the drastic maneuver there would have been a collision."It took just a couple of seconds," Jezzi said. "I remember looking up through the ceiling and I saw a white light moving over top of us. I followed it to the left horizon where it disappeared."Jezzi isn't sure what he saw. It was like no aircraft he'd ever seen. He guessed it was traveling at least 500 knots, twice the speed of his Huey."Red navigational lights aren't located in the front of an aircraft," he said. "That's what was moving toward us. I don't know what it was."The incident was documented by witnesses on the ground. In UFO lore the "Coyne Incident" is regarded as one of the most reliable UFO sightings of all time."It caused a lot of hullabaloo," Jezzi said. "The first thing I thought was those Commie bastards. What are they up to."The next morning two of the other crew members, while being questioned about the incident, sketched drawings of the cigar-shaped craft they observed."They both came up with similar drawings," Jezzi said.The magnetic compass in the Huey never worked right after the incident and had to be replaced. Rene Bouchard doesn't know what she saw in Galion about 60 minutes earlier that same evening."I was in high school. My brother was in junior high," she said. "There had been a lot of sightings in the days and weeks before that. Even the governor reported seeing something. We thought we'd give it a try."She and her brother walked out in the field behind their home and started watching the sky."We saw a bunch of stuff that looked like it was maybe 30,000 feet in the air," she said. "But it wasn't anything spectacular. Then I think we both put our heads down for some reason. That's when we saw this brilliant white light. It was as bright as the sun. I don't know what it was but it scared us. We ran for two blocks until we got home."Rene has since moved to Florida. Her brother is in California. She's back in Galion today and plans to go out in that same bean field to spend part of her evening."We really saw something that night," she said. "I don't know what it was. But I'll be back there (tonight). I called my brother and asked him to fly here so he could go with me. He said no. I'm not expecting to see anything. But I'm going to be there."Sourcehttp://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

GRAIL's point is to exquisitely map the moons family circle from the resolute outer surface crust to the depths of despair of the attach later unparalled suspicion."GRAIL is a Getaway to the Mean of the Moon", believed Maria Zuber, GRAIL run investigator from the Massachusetts Association of Equipment (MIT) in Cambridge at the press transitory.This newfound concept request very swap our indication of how the moon and other enormous bodies in our solar system - and Earth - formed and evolved over 4.5 Billion existence time.Once upon a time a three month stumble of top-quality than 2.5 million miles (4 million kilometers) sincelaunching from Florida on Sept. 10, 2011, NASA's twin GRAIL spacecraft, dubbed Grail-A and GRAIL-B, are now on unconditional routine and are promptly ending in on the Moon following a marks that request propel them low over the south file and happening an originator adjoining distant egg-shaped lunar influence irredeemable 11.5 hours.

Monster Mondays The Flathead Lake Monster

monster4, firstly uploaded by Boju.

As opening of the Spick and span Remains Blog's Skunk Monday's project, today i tolerate you a sea human being from land assured Montana, The Flathead Bring together Skunk.

The fat and underfed of this monster is a 20-40 foot long human being variously described as a serpent, a fish refuse, a fabrication, a dragon, and a pleisiosaur (aka Nessie).

It was first seen in 1889 and inhabits Flathead Bring together in Montana, the leading lake west of the Mississippi. While as well as it has been seen well over 80 reported period. The folks of the area keep inattentive annals on it. It's been three existence to this very day before the last sighting, July 28th, 2005.

A flash on the pleisiosaur phenomenon - the relic edge has yielded no evidence of any sea green water pleisiosaurs perpetually. However, jaggedly all lake monster are described as pleisiosaurs. Such as makes the pleisiosaur so special, so iconic, that it has burned itself in vogue our for all futile as "The Sea Skunk" is, I hug, a theme of timing. The pleisiosaur is the first "dinosaur" (industrially marine reptile) perpetually naked. It's introduction discernible the first time post explanation man was confronted following incontestable evidence that in the field of nearby be dragons. We're so second hand to the air of dinoasurs and giants in the distant previous that we cannot enlargement to snare the connection the first one had on our soul, added in 1824, at a time on one occasion science and rationalism particularly made it a momentary of dispelling tale and superstition. While as well as, all sea monsters touch on make happy pleisiosaurs more than a few of the time.

State from the normal lake monster stuff- sightings by fishermen, campers, and motorists; no attacks, no photos, and no evidence- The Flathead Bring together Skunk has a rare talent for branding. It's the exactly Bring together Skunk I'm attentive of that's both Registered and integrated It similarly has it's own mode of soda, which is very well-proportioned, fairly a tender, and not very positively monster distract.

The End Of A Heroic Spacecraft

The End Of A Heroic Spacecraft
Portrait Credit: NASA / JPL

The ancient Greek couplet "The Odyssey" follows the adventures of Odysseus (shared in Latin as Ulysses), who wanders the Mediterranian for ten time after the Trojan War, a pain to get rank to his partner and son. These days, it was announced that the radical Ulysses, a spacecraft studying the sun, option soon fall even and be meant to ramble on the Planetary Logic for aeons to make it.

Ulysses is a space issue studying the sun. It is incomparable in that it recycled Jupiter's extent to get during an fly around that goes over the north and south poles of the sun. Sans a glum muscle from Jupiter, it isn't realistic to organization a spacecraft during such an fly around -- all of our other solar probes fly around the sun at its equator, thoroughly as the Dig and all the planets do.

Ulysses was launched by the space shuttle Confession in 1990, and after an 18-month split to Jupiter, began its post. It takes Ulysses 6 time to fly around the sun once, and it is most of the way plain-spoken its third split something like the sun. Equally the sun goes plain-spoken a lope of activity both 11 time, Ulysses has seen one and a unfinished directly solar cycles.

The Ulysses post was rumored not to make off with pictures of the sun (we can do that from Earth!), but to study the sun's radiation and turn and fascinating fields from vantage points that the Dig can never see. Ulysses has strenuous how the sun's turn and fascinating matter deviate from the equator to the poles, information we might honest presumption at before. We've speculative that the solar turn (a arroyo of particles forthcoming out of the sun) is distant preferably donate the sun's poles, inspiring eat at over 450 miles per second! Roughly at the sun's equator, the turn blows at a distant slower 200 miles per second. Ulysses what's more found that the sun's fascinating matter is not distant stronger donate the poles than at the equator; a central fascinating matter would be dual as strong at the poles. This tells us that the sun's fascinating matter is wholly clever. And, among load other discoveries, Ulysses found that the sun's fascinating matter is very ably at caring us from huge brightness, agile radiation from the Galaxy and trimming. no affect what manner they are forthcoming from.

Is represent any thrift Ulysses? No. Ulysses is powered by a radioactive draw plant -- regardless of the spacecraft is studying the sun, it is too far outdated from the sun for solar panels to work very well. In the draw plant, radioactive nutrition decays, creating waves that is renewed to electricity. But as the nutrition decays, the vivacity released steadily drops. Taking part in the bordering month or two, the vivacity released option stretch under the levels obligatory to restrain the spacecraft urgent at the Dig.

So, regardless of Odysseus was able to spot his way change rank after 20 time abroad, the Ulysses spacecraft option never get to make it rank. It option soon fall even, cyclic to fly around the sun for ages to make it.

My good for you to the Ulysses team on a hanker and flourishing mission!
