The images are a groundbreaking step forward in our ongoing search for extraterrestrial life.  Dave Standforth of the Lovecraft Institute for Extreme Exploration says the pyramid shape of some of the buildings in the alien city lend credibility to Erich Von Daniken‘s ancient astronaut theory, which believes the Egyptians built the pyramids with the help of alien intelligences.

“This discovery demands the immediate preparation of a manned flight to Saturn’s rings to make contact with these aliens who could have seeded our planet,” says Dave Standforth.  He added, “We haven’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’s ancient astronaut hypothesis believes the Mayans had contact with aliens as well.  Could this be a sign of the apocalypse?  We don’t know, but we need to ask these aliens.”

What do you think?  Could aliens be living on Saturn’s rings?

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 here.

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.

Dr. Labvin’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’s navigation controls.

Are these alien navigation controls?

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’t know about you, but we feel safer knowing extraterrestrial intelligences are looking out for us.  Read more here.

What will our response be if we see a Romulan warship exiting a black hole? Are we prepared to gaze past the event horizon?

1. High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System – You heard it here.  These are small high power laser weapons, i.e. weapons that shoot energy beams at the speed of light.  That’s fast.
2. High Productivity Computing Systems – a.k.a. Super computers a.k.a. SKYNET from the Terminator mythos.
3. Machine Learning – Cognitive machines.  Hmmm.  Again, we’ll reference SKYNET and Terminator.
4. Neuroscience – In specific, projects that’ll create brain-machine interfaces.  Is this putting us one step closer to The Matrix?
5. Real-Time Accurate Language Translation – Tower of Babel my ass.
6. Space – , here we come.

Scary, but real, stuff.  You can find the full report here.

Which one of these research projects would you most like to see come to fruition?

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.

Story #1 is H.P. Lovecraft’s At The Mountains of Madness, 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’t as dead as they appear.

Story #2 is John Carpenter’s The Thing, which recounts another arctic expedition’s encounter with a deadly alien organism that’d been frozen under the ice for hundreds of thousands of years.

If you don’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.

Here’s the trailer for The Thing.

J.J. Abram’s Star Trek features a Hitchcockian macguffin like few we’ve ever seen before.  It’s a mysterious substance referred to as ‘red batter’ by the film’s villain, Romulan Captain Nero.  Now, there is some debate right now over whether Nero called it ‘red batter’ OR ‘red matter’, but for the sake of giving this amazing substance more identity, we’re calling it ‘red batter’.

‘Red batter’ has the ability to reduce itself and matter around it into a singularity at a rapid, exponential rate.  As a bomb explodes on impact, ‘red batter’ gravitationally sucks in everything around it on impact.  The end result is that most awesome of interstellar objects, the fearsome black hole.

In J.J. Abram’s Star Trek, Captain Nero uses the ‘red batter’ (or ‘red matter’) to create a black hole in the center of Spock’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 Star War’s Death Star’s planet destroying laser beam could ever be.

Besides creating black holes, the ‘red batter’ can also affect time travel.  If you’ve seen the new Star Trek, you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Could such a matter exist in reality?  Perhaps.  A recent study, which you can read more about here, 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.

Could the Large Hadron Collider be a catalyst for such a reaction?  If so, what sort of defenses have we put in place?

And did Captain Nero say ‘red batter’ or ‘red batter’?  Personally, we think ‘red batter has a nicer ring to it.  What do you think?

Washington news organizations are reporting that a white mystery substance has been falling on the area for sometime now, and people are starting to worry.  Local officials say they’ve traced the source of the material to a nearby construction site, but not everyone believes this answer.

Bethesda is home to NIH’s main campus (The National Institute of Health).  NIH is home to some of the most cutting edge medical research in the world.  Chemtrail conspiracy theorists think they could be conducting a new experiment on the people right outside their gates.  Chemtrail theorists say government agencies have been dumping chemicals into our atmosphere for years as part of a massive covert operation.  The purpose of the operation is said to be everything from population control to atmospheric modification for an alien race that has infiltrated the power elite.

Chemtrail sightings and evidence are rare in the Washington, D.C. area, and rarely is there evidence as visible as the substance currently raining down on Bethesda, MD.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab manager John Callas said in a statement to the press that “Spirit is in a very difficult situation.”

The problem started after SPIRIT rolled into some loose dirt while driving in reverse.  Besides being stuck in the soil, SPIRIT has lived longer than NASA ever imagined, and its age is starting to show as its gone through a series of malfunctions.  However, the robot community is holding onto hope that the tough Martian rover will pull another trick out of it’s hat and push on with its exploration of the Red Planet.

When we hear the word Vulcan, our thoughts wander to the Star Trek character Spock, his home planet, and his people.  The VULCAN Engine Program is appropriately named since it is a “propulsion system demonstration effort to design, build, and ground-test an engine capable of accelerating a full-scale hypersonic vehicle from rest to Mach 4+.”

This could be our first steps towards a “warp drive” propulsion system like the one that propels the Enterprise across vast distances in space.

Recipe verbatim from the Lawrence Livermore National Ignition Facility website:

• Take a hollow, spherical plastic capsule about two millimeters in diameter (about the size of a small pea)
• Fill it with 150 micrograms (less than one-millionth of a pound) of a mixture of deuterium and tritium, the two heavy isotopes of hydrogen.
• Take a laser that for about 20 billionths of a second can generate 500 trillion watts – the equivalent of five million million 100-watt light bulbs.
• Focus all that laser power onto the surface of the capsule.
• Wait ten billionths of a second.
• Result: one miniature star.

In this process the capsule and its deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel will be compressed to a density 100 times that of solid lead, and heated to more than 100 million degrees Celsius – hotter than the center of the sun. These conditions are just those required to initiate thermonuclear fusion, the energy source of stars.

By following our recipe, we would make a miniature star that lasts for a tiny fraction of a second. During its brief lifetime, it will produce energy the way the stars and the sun do, by nuclear fusion. Our little star will produce ten to 100 times more energy than we used to ignite it.

That ought to do it.  Please don’t use your homemade star for any destructive purposes.
