Are we alone in this Universe????
UFO's, aliens, ET, SETI, NASA!!!!!! What comes to your mind when you hear these words? 90% would say "Aliens" or "Extra-terrestials". This is the topic of this post.
Extra Terrestial Life.
Scientists and Astronomers have always been constantly searching for life outside our planet, Earth. Unfortunately, after decades of research, all they could find (as per public records) is a dead unicellular organism obtained in Mars, some traces of water in Mars and the Moon, and if rumours are true, it is said that a plant, which is several thousand light years away, contains life.
How unfortunate are we? Are the only life forms in this enormous universe? Was god so cruel to create only man and other organisms? Definitely NO, if i am right? We are one of the most primitive life forms compared to other life in the Universe.
I am saying this because as per records, NASA says that there have been atleast 5o+ reports of UFO landings in the US alone, and according to Discovery channel, there have been atleast 5 video tapes that show UFOs hovering over fields, buildings etc, and suddenly seem to discover from sight. This itself signifies that their technology surpasses ours easily.
I am damn sure that there are life existing in other planets and they have technology much beyond our reach. It is possible that they visit Earth to watch us just out of curiosity(Similar to us watching animals during a Safari). I am damn sure that as am writing this blog post, some UFO must have landed on earth and some curious alien is exploring us somewhere. I wish i had some means to prove this. BUt since there have been atleast 27 video tapes of landing since 1947, it is hard to prove me wrong.
I am still wondering what SETI(The branch in NASA that does research on Extra Terrestial life) is doing. Are they still searching the nearby planets for life based only on water. Why are they not assuming that life need not only be based on water. Being a Botany student, i know that a few species of anaerobic bacteria such as Streptococcus and facultative anaerobes such as Eshcerichia Coli can survive without oxygen easily since they gain the required energy via different chemical processes.
My question is, "If all life forms evolved from unicellular organisms, then why can't there be life forms that are anaerobic(can live without oxygen), non-water based(may depend on gases such as Methane, Hydrogen, and maybe even Nitrogen), or why should life be based on a certain gases. Isn't there a possibility that there may be certain lifeforms that thrive on fire?
If you want to dismiss it by saying that fire kills organic cells, think again my dear friends, there is a bacteria called Deinococcus Radiodurans.
This bacteria was found in cans that contained frozen meat. These infected cans were exposed to severe radiation upto 50,000 rads(units of radiation). For good measure, lemme say that a radiation of 50 rads can kill a person. So if a bacteria can survive on such high radiation, am damn sure that there will be advanced life forms capable of surviving in conditions beyond our comprehension.
Why don't scientists think on these aspects? (I suspect that maybe there were great discoveries in recent times which may not have been reported to the media), or is it just that they pretend to ignore these facts."
To conclude this post, i assume that atleast some scientists in NASA would think from my point of view. If my assumption is correct, scientists have already discovered or may have even contacted extra-terrestials, but it just has not been reported to the public for certain reasons. Anyways, i just hope that when we do find our nearby neighbours someday, it would be a moment to rejoice and not to panic. Until then keep watching science fiction films like INDEPENDANCE DAY :-) Because that is the only chance where we get the opportunity to view some aliens

Aswin,
Is there life on other planets other than Earth? The answers to that question lies in the answer to another question. Which Anthropic principle is correct? The Strong or the Weak case.
About your question on what seti does? They scan the skies for radio waves and other radiations.
There is an equation that calculate the probability of other life forms existing in the universe. Got the equation, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation
And, by life what what do you mean? Do you mean a dna nased life form? Do you mean carbon based life form? But the problem Aswin is that we can only search for the factors we know and understand. We cannot search for something we don't even know exists, right?
Here's the link to the seti site (Thats quite rhyming!!)

On the "evidence" of extrterrestial landings.
They have never been conclusively proved. Please don't say that the governments are doing a cover-up of the whole thing. It would never work.
As you can see, I am a sceptic and will remain so untill proven conclusively. Grainny videos, grainny photos, copies of supposed government documents, testimonials of witnesses whoose records cannot be verified are not proof enough for me.
By the way, have you considered the possibility that the defense departments of various countries could be involved in ultra secret programs that involve advanced technology. It would be to their advantage, that people mistake military technology for "alien" technology.
Hi Pidog, nice observations based on the post.
Seeing your comments, i am damn pleased to see that somebody has taken all the pain to search for info and promptly post their reply.
I wish to say the following,
One: this post just emphasises that THERE Is extra-terrestial life.
Two: When i say life, i refer to life based on any form, not only water, the very purpose of this post is to say that life on other planets are surely based on some other liquid, or gas.
Three: You say that we can search for things only which we know, if that was the case, many discoveries and inventions would not have come into existence. Einstein never knew relativity before he found it, Galileo never that Earth was not the center of the Solar System until he read the works of Copernicus, so we can also search for something which we don't know. To do that, we need a creative and poignant mind.
The Last point that i wish to say is "There have been solid evidence for presence of UFOs. Even a few people inside NASA have agreed to it". I would like to state the best example: Unfortunately i don't remember the year(i think it's 1997), but it was an American Independance day, and there was a flight show arranged to show off America's military strength.
Everything was going as per plan untill four UFOs came into the pic, the whole world saw the incident on TV, but America dismissed it as a hoax and said that the UFOs were probably illusions created by SPY aircrafts.
Till date, there has been no proper evidence to state that those flying objects were aircrafts. Please refer to this link http://ufologie.net/htm/vidsou.htm
Maybe this would answer your queries.
By the way, please don't apply the law of probability, man-made rules and equations tend to change over the years.
Hi Ashwin,
I believe you to be an alien too. After all, why would you do a PR job for an alien, buddy, how much are you paid? Is it in dollar notes or alien currency? Whatever it is, next time you get to meet those guys, check how the female of their species looks like. I am game for it pal.
Alienator
Thanks for your comments MR alienator, by the way, i am indeed an alien. I come from the planet called Astron and in my place they call me Astronidiot. :-)
Well, as for the female species, i love the earth ones better rather than my kind :-) They look a lot better and sexier.
Hi Aswin,
Nice to hear from you and to read your blog. Will be in touch.
take care,
Arv.
