Uhm ! Has Ufology just gone mainstream ? BBC article , Prof Stephen Hawking backs venture to listen for aliens

[Cidersomerset]

This may just be another PR stunt , as many in the alternate research comunity
believe E T 's exist and have visited in the past and are visiting Earth now and may
have been here long before and had a hand in creating us, and many related
theories. In fact with all the Exo planets discovered I would say we are becoming
the mainstream as many polls have said the public believes ET's must exist , and
the Royal institutes NASA etc , etc are trying to catch up. Last week I posted the
BBC article about Rendlesham Forrest which was a serious report , as opposed to
previous ones that have the usual ' little green men ' in it somewhere , this was
respectfull . I know we have had many false dawns , but the Rendlesham - Exo
planets - and now a new ET hunt programme was worth a thought imo ..LOL....

Prof Stephen Hawking backs venture to listen for aliens

Science correspondent, BBC News ..7 hours ago

Milky Way and Andromeda

Prof Hawking says intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos could already be aware of us

Prof Stephen Hawking has launched a new effort to answer the question of whether
there is life elsewhere in space.The venture is said to be the biggest yet in support of
the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.The 10-year effort will listen for broadcast
signals from a million of the stars closest to Earth.The £64m ($100m) initiative was
launched by the Breakthrough Initiatives group at the Royal Society in London.

Speaking at the launch, Prof Hawking said: "Somewhere in the cosmos, perhaps,
intelligent life may be watching these lights of ours, aware of what they mean. "Or do
our lights wander a lifeless cosmos - unseen beacons, announcing that here, on one
rock, the Universe discovered its existence. Either way, there is no bigger question.
It's time to commit to finding the answer - to search for life beyond Earth.

"We are alive. We are intelligent. We must know."

Those behind the initiative claim it to be the biggest scientific search ever undertaken
for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth. They plan to cover 10 times more of the sky
than previous programmes and scan five times more of the radio spectrum, 100 times
faster.It will involve access to two of the world's most powerful telescopes. - the Green
Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Parkes Telescope in New South Wales,
Australia. Among those involved in the search is Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer
Royal.


The £64m initiative was launched at the Royal Society in London

"The search for extra-terrestrial life is the most exciting quest in 21st-century science.
The Breakthrough Initiatives aim to put it on the same level as the other ultimate
scientific questions," he said. The public will be invited to participate in efforts to find a
signal from another world through the SETI@home project. Yuri Milner, a high tech US
based-billionaire and founder of the initiative said technology had developed to a point
where it was possible to put listening for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence on a
proper scientific footing.He said: "Current technology gives us a real chance to answer
one of humanity's biggest questions: Are we alone?

"With Breakthrough Listen, we're committed to bringing the Silicon Valley approach to
the search for intelligent life in the Universe. Our approach to data will be open and
taking advantage of the problem-solving power of social networks. Prof Hawking added
that he believed the search was one of humanity's most important scientific endeavours.

"To understand the Universe, you must know about atoms - about the forces that bind
them, the contours of space and time, the birth and death of stars, the dance of
galaxies, the secrets of black holes," he explained.

"But that is not enough. These ideas cannot explain everything. They can explain the
light of stars, but not the lights that shine from planet Earth.

"To understand these lights, you must know about life. About minds."

Rendlesham Forest UFO sighting 'new evidence' claim

13 July 2015..From the section Suffolk

Short vid on link....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-33447592
Col Charles Halt saw an unidentified flying object over a Suffolk airbase in 1980

New evidence has been gathered to back up claims a UFO landed near a US airbase in
Suffolk, a former deputy commander has claimed.Col Charles Halt told the BBC he saw
unidentified objects at Rendlesham Forest in December 1980.He says he now has
statements from radar operators at RAF Bentwaters and nearby Wattisham airfield that
an unknown object was tracked at the time.

Col Halt claimed it was seen by himself and base security staff.


Col Charles Halt gave a talk at Woodbridge Community Centre on Saturday - tickets were £20

The 75-year-old, who was deputy commander at the Bentwaters base and now lives in
the US state of Virginia, said some former service people had not wanted to speak until
they retired but had now provided written statements to him.

Five new planets raises possibility of super-advanced civilisations : The exoplanets that
hint at life billions of years older than Earth

Now most on here think the chances of life elsewhere is very high and some are
convinced and met them. I have not knowingly , but who knows ? some look
just like us , and some say we are ET's originally from the Lyra region of the
galaxy. Which is interesting to see the picture below in the article. This
discovery/disclosure has been going on for the past decade and more and I
can still vividly remember when we were told there is no proof of 'Exo
planets' ...LOL ...I have put up several threads as these reports are published
and for me I have no doubts we are not alone in this Universe...

From Mail Article below...

So far, the observatory has found 1,013 confirmed exoplanets in 440 systems as well as 3,199 possible planets.

The exoplanets that hint at life billions of years older than Earth A solar system
including five Earth-sized planets has been discovered which is so ancient it was
born not long after the dawn of time - and experts say it could help find life on
planets far older than we expected. The system's parent star, named Kepler-444, is
117 light years from Earth and 11.2 billion years old. When the sun-like star was
formed out of a primordial cloud of gas and dust, the universe was just a fifth of its
current age. In January, a group led by Tiago Campante — an astroseismology
or 'starquake' researcher at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom —
announced the discovery of five tiny, likely rocky worlds close to an ancient star.
Now he says that discovery could lead to new insights into where alien life could be.

I have noticed that some of our msm news tabloids are increasingly carrying stories of UFO sightings. I think we are gradually being conditioned into thinking about the subject, away from the 'tin foil hat' this is ludicrous etc; to acceptance of the possibility of the existence of UFO's.

Hello Siblings,

It's a completely disingenuous pantomime.
Ask yourself: Are they really so far behind the curve ?


I don't believe that someone's wasting £64M "listening" for aliens.
You could use any of the world's major telescopes and point towards these
exo-planets.. or better still... point Hubble at them. Why waste £64M ?
The people making the funding decisions _know_ there are aliens.
This project is doing something else... it's not as advertised.

be happy :-)

[Citizen No2]

I don't understand all the noise being made about looking 'out there' for extraterrestrial life. Surely there is more evidence of contact and collusion with off world life forms on this planet than there is for life on some distant class 1 body.

But of course............ If life were discovered on some far away planet, or contact made, then the already hidden contact and collusion could remain just that, hidden.

Russian Billionaire Yuri Milner Funds SETI Initiative With $100 Million

July 20, 2015
SpaceREF



Joined by an all-star cast of scientists that included Stephen Hawking, Martin Rees, Frank Drake, Geoff Marcy and Ann Druyan, Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced that he was personally funding a series of new initiatives to kickstart the search for life in the universe called Breakthrough Initiatives.

Milner said he would fund the initiatives with a $100 million over 10 years.

A key member of the team also present was former NASA Ames Center Director Pete Worden who now becomes the Chairman of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation.

Breakthrough Initiatives

The first two initiatives to be funded are Breakthrough Listen and Breakthrough Message.

According to Milner these initiatives are the biggest scientific search ever undertaken for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth.

Breakthrough Listen

Two major radio telescopes will collect the data; the 100 Meter Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia, USA and the 64 metre diameter Parkes Telescope in New South Wales, Australia. As well the Automated Planet Finder Telescope at Lick Observatory in California, USA will undertake world's deepest and broadest search for optical laser transmissions.

Other Breakthrough Listen details:
- 50 times more sensitive than previous programs dedicated to SETI research.
- Will cover 10 times more of the sky than previous programs.
- Will scan at least 5 times more of the radio spectrum - and 100 times faster.

Milner said, "with Breakthrough Listen, we're committed to bringing the Silicon Valley approach to the search for intelligent life in the Universe. Our approach to data will be open and taking advantage of the problem-solving power of social networks."

Breakthrough Message

There will be an International competition to create digital messages that represent humanity and planet Earth with a pool of prizes that will total $1,000,000, the details of which will be announced at a later time.

According to Milner "this initiative is not a commitment to send messages. It's a way to learn about the potential languages of interstellar communication and to spur global discussion on the ethical and philosophical issues surrounding communication with intelligent life beyond Earth."

Project Leadership

The leader of the project includes:

- Pete Worden, Chairman, Breakthrough Prize Foundation.
- Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, Fellow of Trinity College; Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics, University of Cambridge.
- Frank Drake, Chairman Emeritus, SETI Institute; Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of California, Santa Cruz; Founding Director, National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center; Former Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy, Cornell University.
- Geoff Marcy, Professor of Astronomy, University of California, Berkeley; Alberts SETI Chair.
- Ann Druyan, Creative Director of the Interstellar Message, NASA Voyager; Co-Founder and CEO, Cosmos Studios; Emmy and Peabody award winning Writer and Producer.
- Dan Werthimer, Co-founder and chief scientist of the SETI@home project; director of SERENDIP; principal investigator for CASPER.
- Andrew Siemion, Director, Berkeley SETI Research Center.

Frank Drake said: "Right now there could be messages from the stars flying right through the room, through us all. That still sends a shiver down my spine. The search for intelligent life is a great adventure. And Breakthrough Listen is giving it a huge lift."

It's a completely disingenuous pantomime.
Ask yourself: Are they really so far behind the curve ?

Totally agree the radio telescopes are obsolete , and the chances
advanced ET's are using this medium is even less likely.

I'm really pointing out the fact mainstream are taking the subject
serious all of a sudden. The secret space programme , black budgets
have gotten so far ahead , as many witness's have been disclosing.
Disclosure has to come relatively soon ? I thought they were building
towards it in the 1990's. Then TPTB took over and created 9/11
and the 'terror meme' to delay ET disclosure , but maybe they are
trying to prepare the public again ?





The 64 metre Parkes Observatory in Australia (above) will be one of two radio telescopes to search more than one million
of the closest stars to Earth for signals that may indicate there is intelligent life living there. It is to be used as part of a
$100 million project called the Breakthrough Listen Initiative, launched in London today

There is no reason from our point of view , but they are playing
to a mainstream audience, and although many believe ET's
must exist. Unless they start researching on sites like this.
They are still going to look at mainstream for answers.

Exactly lucidity! I sincerely doubt this program is real or genuine for the reasons you stated. But...if it IS real, I don't think it would be wasted money. I can think of many energy corporations that would consider this a very wise and inexpensive investment to "kick the can down the road" another 10 years.

The fact is that MSM ignores Contacteeism and UFOlogy because of all the disinformation, mostly from the nutters out there today. People like Parkes and Crammer with their ridiculous stories, that's what makes it look like a circus. This was all studied decades ago now, but has for a dozen years been relegated to nuttery (ufo's and abduction), and with works like Mirage Men and the fact of The Aviary and just how weird those dudes were, and how some of them strayed into Disinfo like Project Serpo, most rational people will ignore Alienology and Ufology. And what Bud Hopkins did for Abductionism was terrible. For science, abductions are psychological phenomenon -- shared delusions brought on by the hysteria of the Big Story Abduction cases, all with holes in them.

I personally don't think the goverment is hiding anything about alien life. If anything, the UFO thing was a US psyop, using some kind of advanced craft and tech, to confuse russians about just what kind of tech we had, and then they set the Agencies to Disinform the whole subject. Other wise, they simply concluded that they have no idea what the phenomenon was, and hide THAT FACT.

(but I don't know, obviously)

UFOLOGY needs a reboot.

IF the government knows stuff we don't, advanced stuff along the lines that we've considered in places like Avalon, I think they would rather slowly condition humanity (as seems to be the case, perhaps) to the REALITY of Life outside our little globe (or flat earth, lol) -- something that most people don't think about often enough.

First, "we found microbes on mars or that asteroid"
Then baby steps from there to "We are certain there is advanced life on this or that planet"
Then, if there is a global human or transhuman world out there in physical up to higher (invisible dimensions), and THEY KNOW about it, then again, "this is the reality we need to prepare for. we need to rethink our history and religion"

I don't think there are any aliens that speak our language, given the track record they have from their so called contactees, I think it's all comm. from out collective imagination (collective consciousness)

But who knows. Such a wonderful subject to imagine about (fearlessly, for humanity's sake)

But first, we or THEY need to continue to deconstruct Religion and Nationalism. In the US alone we see how crazy people are about their guarded beliefs. In some ways, some of the things about a NWO are necessary, if you take away all the scary parts ... global village civ FTW, imo.

I honestly think most of the science community is clueless BECAUSE there is no EVIDENCE YET, much less proof, for alien life on or around Earth. Sorry, but that's the fact (and your own testimony about speaking with pleiadiens or whatever alien race isn't going to do, because it's no different than channeling dead people, or christians seeing and speaking to Jesus, Mary and the Holy Ghost. (subcultural delusions)

The problems we have on earth is just man's greed from abusive patriarchy on high. It will not last the next generation, imo.

This is good news, the OP. We need to discover and REALIZE the fact that life IS out there (everyone must agree), and some of it is likely as intelligent, or light years ahead of us. But they surely haven't shown themselves beyond maybe buzzing our skies around the ww2 era (as a warning), and something that the goverments couldn't and can't explain as craft or plasma phenomenon, though they tried. Today, I think all we get is misidentification. Enough of my ranting opinions. I'm certain not many here would agree with my beliefs, especially since I'm all over the place!

I respect your view , but even before the web I was pretty certain there is more to
it than another 'War of the worlds scenario' and from all the Camelot/Avalon
witness's and other researchers , I would be very surprised if it was all the
government backed 'psyop' .Some of it is using the black budget technology they
have been researching for decades.You only have to go back to Allan Hynek who
was part of the cover up, and many more whistleblowers and witness testimony
made public for it to be real imo.

Dr. Josef Allen Hynek ( May 1, 1910 - April 27, 1986 ) was Chairman of Department of Astronomy Northwestern University ,
professor, and ufologist. He is perhaps best remembered for his UFO research. Hynek acted as scientific adviser to UFO studies
undertaken by the U.S. Air Force under three consecutive names: Project Sign (1947-1949), Project Grudge (1949-1952), and
Project Blue Book (1952 to 1969). For decades afterwards, he conducted his own independent UFO research, and is widely
considered the father of the concept of scientific analysis of both reports and, especially, trace evidence purportedly left by UFOs.

Sorry, Twain, and with all respect but there is so much evidence for alien life it's really quite remarkable to see someone state so confidently that there is no evidence. There's so much I cannot even imagine where to begin. Books and names just racing through my head...
I would encourage you to look a little harder.
