			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazing pictures taken by NASA&#8217;s Cassini spacecraft show colossal vertical structures on the rings of Saturn.  Researchers claim the massive shapes are the downtown area of an alien city.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-663" title="saturn-city" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/saturn-city.jpg" alt="saturn-city" width="450" height="187" />The images are a groundbreaking step forward in our ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.  Dave Standforth of the <em>Lovecraft Institute for Extreme Exploration </em>says the pyramid shape of some of the buildings in the alien city lend credibility to <a type="amzn">Erich Von Daniken</a>&#8216;s ancient astronaut theory, which believes the Egyptians built the pyramids with the help of alien intelligences.</p>
<p>&#8220;This discovery demands the immediate preparation of a manned flight to Saturn&#8217;s rings to make contact with these aliens who could have seeded our planet,&#8221; says Dave Standforth.  He added, &#8220;We haven&#8217;t a moment to lose as we approach the year 2012, the year of the proposed Mayan apocalypse.  Our institute is troubled by the sudden appearance of these alien structures. Remember that Von Daniken&#8217;s ancient astronaut hypothesis believes the Mayans had contact with aliens as well.  Could this be a sign of the apocalypse?  We don&#8217;t know, but we need to ask these aliens.&#8221;</p>
<p>What do you think?  Could aliens be living on Saturn&#8217;s rings?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did alien guardians prevent an apocalyptic event in the early 20th century?  That&#8217;s what Russian scientist Dr. Yuri Labvin claims in an extraordinary new theory about the Tunguska Event of 1908.</p>
<p>The brief synopsis of the mysterious Tunguska Event is that on June 30, 1908, a massive explosion occured above a remote region of Siberia, leveling over 80 million trees across a hundred square mile area.  The explosion is estimated to have been equivelant to several A-Bombs.  The catalyst for the explosion remains a big unknown.  Read more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Dr. Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, says he has evidence that the explosion was caused by an alien spacecraft colliding with a massive meteor on a collision course with earth.  By exploding the massive meteor before it crashed into our planet, Dr. Labvin says the aliens saved humanity.</p>
<p>Dr. Labvin&#8217;s evidence is several quartz slabs discovered at the site of the explosion which are engraved with strange symbols.  According to Dr. Labvin, we do not possess the technology to create the intricate geometric shapes carved on the quartz slabs.  Tests with lasers were unsuccessful at duplicating the designs.  He claims the slabs are debris from the alien spaceship, possibly part of the ship&#8217;s navigation controls.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-659" title="alienpanel" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/alienpanel.jpg" alt="alienpanel" width="450" height="400" /><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Are these alien navigation controls?</span></p>
<p>We should all take a moment to think of the brave alien astronauts who saved our planet on that fateful day in 1908.  We don&#8217;t know about you, but we feel safer knowing extraterrestrial intelligences are looking out for us.  Read more <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522217,00.html?test=latestnews">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)</span> recently released a 50+ page strategic plan highlighting some of the most advance research projects it is currently undertaking.  On page 9, section 2.6, DARPA outlines a &#8220;short list&#8221; of ongoing research.  We list the highlights here.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System</span> &#8211; You heard it here.  These are small high power laser weapons, i.e. weapons that shoot energy beams at the speed of light.  That&#8217;s fast.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">High Productivity Computing Systems</span> &#8211; a.k.a. Super computers a.k.a. <a type="amzn">SKYNET from the <em>Terminator</em> mythos</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Machine Learning</span> &#8211; Cognitive machines.  Hmmm.  Again, we&#8217;ll reference <a type="amzn">SKYNET and Terminator</a>.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Neuroscience</span> &#8211; In specific, projects that&#8217;ll create brain-machine interfaces.  Is this putting us one step closer to <a type="amzn"><em>The Matrix</em>?</a></li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Real-Time Accurate Language Translation</span> &#8211; <em>Tower of Babel</em> my ass.</li>
<li><span style="color: #fd5a1e;"><a type="amzn">Space</a></span><a type="amzn"> &#8211; </a><a type="amzn"></a>, here we come.</li>
</ol>
<p>Scary, but real, stuff.  You can find the full report <a href="http://www.darpa.mil/stratvision.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Which one of these research projects would you most like to see come to fruition?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A former astronaut is climbing Mt. Everest in a hunt for alien life on Earth.  Read more <a href="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/090518-everest-astrobiology.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>If there is alien life on Everest, do we really want to find it?  Anything tough enough to survive in the harsh environment of Mt. Everest could be a serious threat to mankind.  To illustrate this point, here are two stories that clearly portray the dangers of searching for alien life in the frozen and hostile climates of Earth.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">Story #1</span></strong> is <a type="amzn">H.P. Lovecraft&#8217;s At The Mountains of Madness</a>, the terrifying story of a scientific expedition to the arctic that discovers the ruins of a vast alien civilization and the preserved remains of highly evolved creatures that aren&#8217;t as dead as they appear.</p>
<p><span style="color: #fd5a1e;"><strong>Story #2</strong></span> is  <a type="amzn">John Carpenter&#8217;s The Thing</a>, which recounts another arctic expedition&#8217;s encounter with a deadly alien organism that&#8217;d been frozen under the ice for hundreds of thousands of years.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t knkow these stories, we highly recommend you familiarize yourself with them.  They are a clear warning against the current exploration for alien life on Mt. Everest.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the trailer for <em>The Thing</em>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A UFO sighting by a Chinese reporter has started a debate between those who believe the UFO is of extraterrestrial origin and those who say it is a vision of Buddha.  Apparently video of the sighting has been confiscated by the Chinese government, but one still photo has been leaked and could be the only source of evidence we have to go by.  Read more <a href="http://www.allnewsweb.com/page6806806.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>The image below compares a photo of the UFO and Buddha.  We think group analysis is the best way to come to some conclusion.  Do you think the UFO is alien or Buddha?<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-625" title="buddha_ufo" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/buddha_ufo.jpg" alt="buddha_ufo" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Here is a close up of the UFO.  Can you make out any Buddha like features?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-626" title="cu_china-ufo" src="http://www.lokitimes.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cu_china-ufo.jpg" alt="cu_china-ufo" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s an alien Buddha.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #fd5a1e;">**** Caution.  Possible SPOILER ALERT ****</span></h4>
<p>J.J. Abram&#8217;s <em>Star Trek </em>features a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin" target="_blank">Hitchcockian macguffin</a> like few we&#8217;ve ever seen before.  It&#8217;s a mysterious substance referred to as &#8216;red batter&#8217; by the film&#8217;s villain, Romulan Captain Nero.  Now, there is some debate right now over whether Nero called it &#8216;red batter&#8217; OR &#8216;red matter&#8217;, but for the sake of giving this amazing substance more identity, we&#8217;re calling it &#8216;red batter&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;Red batter&#8217; has the ability to reduce itself and matter around it into a singularity at a rapid, exponential rate.  As a bomb explodes on impact, &#8216;red batter&#8217; gravitationally sucks in everything around it on impact.  The end result is that most awesome of interstellar objects, the fearsome black hole.</p>
<p>In J.J. Abram&#8217;s <em>Star Trek</em>, Captain Nero uses the &#8216;red batter&#8217; (or &#8216;red matter&#8217;) to create a black hole in the center of Spock&#8217;s home world Vulcan.  This black hole devours the planet in a matter of minutes in a sequence that is, in our opinion, much more terrifying than <em>Star War&#8217;s </em>Death Star&#8217;s planet destroying laser beam could ever be.<br />
<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wVEhafuF7A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4wVEhafuF7A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object><br />
Besides creating black holes, the &#8216;red batter&#8217; can also affect time travel.  If you&#8217;ve seen the new <em>Star Trek</em>, you&#8217;ll know what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>Could such a matter exist in reality?  Perhaps.  A recent study, which you can read more about <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23530/" target="_blank">here</a>, suggests that all particles are miniature black holes.  IF this is the case, than it is probable that there is a catalyst which would enable these miniature black holes, which are everything, to coalesce together at an exponential rate to create a rapidly growing black hole that devours everything in its path.</p>
<p>Could the Large Hadron Collider be a catalyst for such a reaction?  If so, what sort of defenses have we put in place?</p>
<p>And did Captain Nero say &#8216;red batter&#8217; or &#8216;red batter&#8217;?  Personally, we think &#8216;red batter has a nicer ring to it.  What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We could soon harness the power of a sun in a laboratory setting, ala Dr. Octopus&#8217;s mad scientist escapades in <a type="amzn">Spider Man 2</a>.  Or at least that&#8217;s what this experiment hopes to prove (<a href="http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2009/05/gallery_nif" target="_blank">report from WIRED</a>.)</p>
<p>The project at the <a href="http://www.energy.gov/news2009/7191.htm" target="_blank">Lawrence Livermore National Ignition Facility</a> plans to ignite a miniture star in a controlled lab environment using lasers.  This tiny nuclear reactor could produce tremendous amounts of energy.  For example, our sun blasts about 386 BILLION gigawatts of energy into space.  A large nuclear reactor generates 1 gigawatt.  Do the math.  Even if we could create a star hundreds of billions times smaller than our sun, the energy output would still be massive.  This could solve all of our energy problems as long as we can control the nuclear fusion and harness to power of a star.  Worst case scenario = the destruction of earth if the star we build powers out of control.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><object width="500" height="340" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAQGHK8ofGU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rAQGHK8ofGU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>The documentary <a href="http://www.d-9.com/" target="_blank"><em>District 9</em></a> is a long overdue film about the serious issue of alien refugees.  The resources of the universe cannot support the rapid growth of the universal population, and this is not the first, nor the last, case of alien civilizations being cast off of their home worlds due to overcrowding, pollution, and planetary apocalypses.</p>
<p>Theorists say Earth could be next in this disturbing trend of planetary exile.  So far we&#8217;ve been lucky in that most of the alien refugees hoping to make our world their new home are not hostile, but analysts say we must be careful to not appear to weak as we accept more and more alien exiles.</p>
<p>&#8220;You can liken it to the position the Obama administration is finding themselves in with international relations,&#8221; says political correspondent Dan McGruffy.  &#8220;President Obama is being simultaneously praised and criticized with his open arms approach to foreign policy, the fear being that we will appear weak.  At the same time, there is no doubt that America needs to heal damaged relationships with foreign nations.  The same problems arise with interstellar exiles.  We do not want to appear harsh and insensitive while making it clear we will defend our resources.  The question arises, who does Earth belong to?  Earthlings?  Or the universe?  Do we have a fundamental duty to provide life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all beings?  The bottom line is, as our population grows and we continue to accept more alien exiles, we risk accelerating the depletion of Earth&#8217;s resources, and we might find ourselves exiled as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>What do you think?  Is it our duty to provide for interstellar exiles?  What is the appropriate response to their needs?</p>
