Earth- Area 51 and Roswell• Area 51 is a secret military base in

Nevada, 83 miles away from Las Vegas. There are many conspiracy theories, including UFO’s and 2012 surrounding it.

• The Roswell UFO crash landing incident is the most highly publicized extraterrestrial recovery pretty much ever. In the year of 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico US Government supposedly recovered flying saucer debris and alien corpses. The “cover up” was a radar-tracking balloon.

In Our Solar System - Mars• Mars was the number one source of the

extraterrestrial life search in our solar system• because it may have once had water which is

necessary for carbon based life• , It could also be in the habitable zone, the

band that is a certain distance from the Sun where carbon life would supposedly be able to form.

• But once scientists concluded it wasn’t very probable for life to exist on mars now, interest moved to Europa, a moon of Jupiter, which has underwater oceans where life might be sustained.

In Other Solar Systems – Infinite Space!

• Every solar system in the universe has a habitable zone

• Scientists are developing interferometers (laser waves and stuff) to try to detect planets in other solar system’s habitable zones.

• There isn’t sufficient technology today to have manned searches of other solar systems, so for now we stick to images

Conclusion

The universe is huge. It may not be infinite, but who says life is limited to the universe? Something that is infinite is space, and if every solar system in space has a habitable zone…

I’d say the chances of finding life somewhere else in space (who

cares if it’s carbon based or not) is PRETTY DARN GOOD!

Independence Day!

opinions that I, Dani, have. The following is taken directly from a

Proof of Aliens on Earth!!!!• Elongated skulls both

in South American and Egyptian ancient culture are thought by some people to be “smart aliens skulls” because those groups didn’t have any contact with each other so where would they have gotten the images?

• A common hippie belief is that aliens exist and we must peacefully interact with them

• Apparently when aliens have contact with you they suppress your memories. If you can sometimes not remember things for a period of time or have a memory of something flying through the air or of being paralyzed in your bed with a figure in your room, you may have been subject to alien ABDUCTION!
