      Discoveries Boost Hope for Alien Life

      Humans have always wondered about the possibility of alien life somewhere out there. And while scientists seem to agree that the discovery of extraterrestrials will not happen soon, growing numbers are convinced it will happen. The search is being fueled in part by recent discoveries of strange new life forms on Earth, which is raising scientists' hope for similar types of life on other planets, reports the Washington Post.

      Earth Hits Cosmic Pitch

      Earth’s atmosphere produces a natural sound and beams it off into the universe, Space.com reports. The sound—a painful series of chirps and whistles—is made by the collision of charged particles from the solar wind with Earth’s magnetic field. More »

      New Telescope Joins Alien Hunt

      If ET is within a hop, skip, and a solar system, a shiny new European telescope might just turn him up, Space.com reports. Made up of up to 25,000 antennae scattered throughout Europe, the LOFAR, or Low Frequency Array, will be able to scan light signals overlooked by higher-frequency telescopes of yore. If aliens are like us, they’ll use those frequencies for radio and TV signals. More »

      Spacey Colorado Man Captures 'Alien' On Video

      A Denver man claims to have film of an alien peering through a window, and plans to show it to the media today, the Denver Post reports. The closely encountered alien is said to be 4 feet tall and appears "innocent, benevolent, youthful" and less "wrinkly" than ET in the movie, he said. The man is pushing to convince Denver officials to appoint an extraterrestrial affairs commissioner to deal with visitors from outer space. More »

      Vatican: OK to Believe in Aliens

      Believing in God doesn’t mean you can’t believe in aliens, the Vatican’s chief astronomer told L’Osservatore Romano . God may well have created other creatures, including intelligent ones. “We cannot place limits on God’s creative freedom,” he noted. More »

    • OMG! Bigfoot on Mars! Run!

      OMG! Bigfoot on Mars! Run!

      After nearly four years of important discoveries, it has taken a tiny rock outcropping that looks like Bigfoot to make people passionate about the Mars rovers, the Telegraph reports. Conspiracy theorists are sure a photo snapped in 2004 reveals an alien, or perhaps a creature like Sasquatch. "I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw what appears to be a naked alien running around on Mars," writes one blogger. More »

      Area 51 Gets 'Homey' Makeover

      It’s been called Dreamland, Paradise Ranch, the Box and, of course, Area 51. Now the US Air Force’s Groom Lake, Nev., test site—possibly the least-secret top-secret base of all time—has a new name: “Homey Airport.” The facility now pops up on aviation software and GPS as Homey Airport, or its official designation, KXTA. (Could that stand for Extra-Terrestrial Airport?) More »

      Video Game Troopers Talk Abu Ghraib

      Blacksite boasts the usual nasties, but this first-person shooter has them US-trained and -armed—making it “one of the few genuinely subversive games,” says Wired’s Clive Thompson. Most shoot-'em-ups make you "a warrior for the American dream," but Blacksite’s “corrupt authority” is clearly on Pennsylvania Avenue. “If you disagree with the game's political point of view, you'll probably hate it,” Thompson concedes.

    • He's Not Alone: Kucinich Ain't First Pol to Spot UFO

      He's Not Alone: Kucinich Ain't First Pol to Spot UFO

      Dennis Kucinich is already treated as a bit of an alien by the other presidential contenders; it only got worse at this week's forum when interrogator Tim Russert pushed him about Shirley MacLaine’s claim that he saw a UFO at her home. A trapped Kucinich offered tersely, “I did.” But before he moves campaign headquarters to Roswell, as he joked he would, the LA Times points out that he's not alone. More »
