Cosmologists Claim 36 “Intelligent” ET Civilizations

6/19/2020

And that’s just in our Milky Way galaxy alone.

How many stars are there in the Milky Way galaxy anyway?  Answer: 250 - 500 billion (well, ± 150 billion or so).  That’s a lot of stars and the Sun is just one of them.  Among many astronomers, it is generally accepted that there is, on average, at least one planet per star.  What astronomers are really looking for is a habitable planet, with abundant water, about the size of the Earth orbiting a star about the size of our Sun.  When you’re dealing with 250 billion, well, there just must be more than just one.  Right?  What if 18% of Sun-like stars had an Earth-like planet?  That would mean there are up to six billion Earth-like planets in the Milky Way galaxy alone.  That’s the latest estimate from astronomers at the University of British Columbia where they made an extrapolation based on NASA’s Kepler space telescope.  Just think about that. . .
 
So, What Are “Intelligent” Civilizations, Exactly?
 
Any intelligent civilization is generally one with the ability to use a written language and possess advances in the arts and sciences.  Bear in mind that these scientists are not just referring to spacefaring civilizations with a fleet of starships at hand.  They are referring to any carbon-based (perhaps even silicon-based) beings with the ability to reason, understand, perceive relationships and to communicate in a technical manner.  The cosmologists are describing what are called “technologically-advanced” civilizations that have invented radio technology and have been broadcasting via radio, TV or by any other means into space.   
 
Thirty-six Intelligent Civilizations
 
Published on June 15 in The Astronomical Journal, a paper titled “The Astrobiological Copernican Weak and Strong Limits for Intelligent Life” 2 estimated that there are roughly “36 civilizations within our Galaxy.”  The paper was written by Tom Westby, Assistant Professor of Engineering, and Christopher Conselice, Professor of Astrophysics, at the University of Nottingham (UK).  But let’s be clear, the paper’s authors  claim that that number could be as high as 210 and as few as four civilizations, depending on their assumptions (that’s where the “strong” scenario and the “weak” scenario come into action).  Their paper is limited only to Earth/Sun-like star systems, and that’s why the word “Copernican” is used in the title.

Three Witnesses Observe Glowing Fireball

Picture
Case 106099:  Three witnesses were siting on the deck of an ocean front condominium in Litchfield, South Carolina.  It was 9 PM at night under partially-cloudy skies. A large, round sphere appeared from the right and moved left and then hovered.  According to the witnesses, it was greater than 300 feet in diameter and at various times pulsating red, red-orange and yellow-orange.  See illustration as it moved left to right.  As it cast light on the ground, it appeared to be a round, solid, hovering sphere about 10° above the horizon.  The sphere appeared for three minutes and then vanished.

Lost in Space Becomes a Reality

6/15/2020

Picture
Case 106026: At around 9 PM in Collinsville, Illinois, during the summer of 1965, a 12-year old girl found herself under a large, oval-shaped craft with white exterior lights.  The craft was at no more than tree top level.  She says that she didn’t know what a spaceship was, and then it was revealed to her while watching and episode of the Lost in Space TV show.  She claims to have heard no sound whatsoever, but soon there were two “clunking” noises.  She was “frozen” for some period of time, later she ran out from under the craft, stopped and turned around to view it.
 
Once out from under the craft, she could see a “long square door” that was “in the middle of this oval.”  The craft also had one or two large windows, one with a blue light illuminating the interior and one with a red light.  Behind each window was a “hairy creature . . . with very long arms.”  She then ran to her home, went inside to a window and the craft had disappeared.  Years later, she had a second sighting, and possibly more than she is able to acknowledge.

“Meteor” Spawns Orb Over Florida

Picture
Case 105380:  The witness is driving with her cell phone camera videoing moving traffic on US 19 at Suwannee River Bridge in Fanning Springs, Florida.  At 6 AM, driving her car at speed in an easterly direction, there is a very prominent, white “meteor” with an elongated trail passing from south to north.  It reminds one of the meteor that fell on the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in 2013 (see image below).  The head of the meteor trail on the left is quite full and prominent as the trail gradually fades toward the right.  The driver pulls over to the slow lane and then to an off-ramp and stops her car.

Huge Disc Resembles a WW I Naval Cap

6/3/2020

Picture
Case 105266: The witness at age 12 and his 3-year old sister were living with their parents in US naval housing just west of Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes Naval Training Facility.  Playing kickball in the backyard, his sister suddenly said, “What’s that?”  They could see a disc-shaped flying saucer “of tremendous size,” now estimated to be 300 feet or more in diameter, apparently attempting to land into the lake.  To this writer, the witness description sounds like a giant World War I naval seaman’s cap.  But, instead of the black headband, the disc had the three colors of Germany: black, red and gold and in the proper sequence.  To modern Germans, the colors represent freedom and unity.  The colored sections of the disc’s “headband” were rotating in opposite directions (!).
