Oct 28, 2023 · Madhusudhan led a study, published in October 2023 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, that detected hints of an ocean on a planet called K2-18 b, located more than 100 light-years away. Their...

Following an upswing in sightings of UAPs in 2021,experts told Space.comin January 2022 that the next 12 months could be important for the investigation of such mysterious objects. "The effort to detect, track and measure the UFO phenomenon in the field, in real time, has recently entered a new phase," Mark Rodeghier, scientific director of the Cen...
A popular theme among UFO enthusiasts is how much various governmental agencies know about these mysterious objects and their possible origins. Conspiracy theories abound that the "truth" about UFOs is kept from the public and suppressed by governmental bodies. In April 2022, a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the U.S. arm of the British...
Where are all the aliens? In May 2022, two scientists proposed a disturbing solution to the so-called Fermi paradox: Maybe a civilization intelligent enough to develop space travel would eventually develop to a point where their energy demands would outpace innovation, resulting in the collapse of that civilization. Alternatively, an alien civiliza...
In May, researchers aimed to send a messageto notify aliens of Earth's climate crisis and possibly request aid. The message was devised by a group called Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) International, which wants to send a message encoded within a radio signal to theTRAPPIST-1planetary system, which hosts at least seven Earth-like pl...
In June 2022, the suggestion that China'sFive-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST) might have detected the signal from an alien civilization set the internet buzzing, but this enthusiasm was promptly curbed. FAST had detected three narrow-band radio signals that seemed to come from space between 2019 and 2022. The signals were ini...
In June, a team of scientists suggested that planets may not be the location of choice for intelligent life. Instead, advanced civilizations may dwell on so-called Dyson spheres orbiting the remnants of sunlike stars known as white dwarfs. An advanced civilization would need huge amounts of energy, and even totally coating their world with energy-g...
In June 2022,NASA announcedthat it intended to begin a scientific study into UAPs, with this effort intensifying over subsequent months. The main goals of the study are to identify and characterize available UAP data, lay out the optimal way of collecting future observations, and determine how NASA can use this data to advance the understanding of ...
Considering the solar system is around 4.5 billion years old and humanity has existed for a small fraction of that time, it's possible that advanced civilizations have already visited our neighborhood and moved on. In October 2022, scientists suggested that such extraterrestrial life-forms could have left signs of their visit scattered throughout t...
In October 2022, U.S. Department of Defense officials said the country's intelligence agencies had spent years analyzing footage of hundreds of UFO/UAP sightings and concluded that most definitely weren't aliens. Many UAPs were likely just airborne clutter, such as weather balloons, and several UAP incidents had been officially identified as "relat...
In November 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope(Webb) stared deep into the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-39 b to build a comprehensive chemical and molecular profile. "We observed the exoplanet with multiple instruments that, together, provide a broad swath of the infrared spectrum and a panoply of chemical fingerprints inaccessible until [this...
- Is E.T. phoning us from Proxima Centauri? The answer to weird signals happening in the universe is never aliens, until maybe it is. Earlier this month, researchers announced that they had captured a very mysterious beam of energy in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum at 980 megahertz, coming from the closest star to our own.
- Alien bacteria might live in the clouds of Venus. Astrobiologists were a-twitter with anticipation and skepticism in September when news broke of potential evidence of life in the upper clouds of Venus.
- 'Oumuamua could still be an alien artifact. Two years ago, scientists spotted a cigar-shaped object hurtling through the solar system. Dubbed 'Oumuamua, the entity is considered by most to be an interstellar comet flung out from around another star.
- Navy declassifies UFO videos but don't believe the hype. A fair number of Earthlings don't care what ambiguous evidence scientists come up with to show that aliens are out there.
Nov 25, 2023 · Emily Mitchell, a paleobiologist at the University of Cambridge, points out that, while there is fossil evidence of life on Earth at least 3.5 billion years ago, no large multicellular...
May 20, 2022 · There is no doubt unexplained phenomena have been observed, such as in footage obtained by navy pilots (above) showing fast moving airborne objects. But the leap to aliens requires far more...
Jun 4, 2021 · Those are the questions being asked in the U.S. government's new report on unexplained aerial phenomena — its preferred term for what many of us call unidentified flying objects, or UFOs. So far,...
