Top 4 most promising worlds for alien life in the solar system
Link: https://earthsky.org/space/et-alien-life-most-likely-worlds-solar-system

Mars

Mars is one of the most Earth-like worlds in the solar system. It has a 24.5-hour day, polar ice caps that expand and contract with the seasons, and a large array of surface features that were sculpted by water during the planet\u2019s history.

The detection of a lake beneath the southern polar ice cap and methane in the Martian atmosphere (which varies with the seasons and even the time of day) make Mars a very interesting candidate for life. Methane is significant as it can be produced by biological processes. But the actual source for the methane on Mars is not yet known.

Europa

Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with Jupiter\u2019s three other larger moons. It is slightly smaller than Earth\u2019s moon and orbits the gas giant at a distance of some 670,000 km (420,000 miles) once every 3.5 days. Europa is constantly squeezed and stretched by the competing gravitational fields of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons, a process known as tidal flexing.

The moon is believed to be a geologically active world, like the Earth, because the strong tidal flexing heats its rocky, metallic interior and keeps it partially molten.

The surface of Europa is a vast expanse of water ice. Many scientists think that beneath the frozen surface is a layer of liquid water \u2013 a global ocean \u2013 which is prevented from freezing by the heat from flexing and which maybe over 60 miles (100 km) deep.

Enceladus

Like Europa, Enceladus is an ice-covered moon with a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus orbits Saturn and first came to the attention of scientists as a potentially habitable world following the surprise discovery of enormous geysers near the moon\u2019s south pole.

These jets of water escape from large cracks on the surface and, given Enceladus\u2019 weak gravitational field, spray out into space. They are clear evidence of an underground store of liquid water.

Titan

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. It contains a thick orange haze of complex organic molecules and a methane weather system in place of water, complete with seasonal rains, dry periods and surface sand dunes created by wind.

The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen, an important chemical element used in the construction of proteins in all known forms of life. Radar observations have detected the presence of rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane and possibly the presence of cryovolcanoes, volcano-like features that erupt liquid water rather than lava. This suggests that Titan, like Europa and Enceladus, has a subsurface reserve of liquid water.

At such an enormous distance from the sun, the surface temperatures on Titan are a frigid -292 degrees F (-180 degrees C), way too cold for liquid water. However, the bountiful chemicals available on Titan have raised speculation that lifeforms \u2013 potentially with fundamentally different chemistry from terrestrial organisms \u2013 could exist there.

Fringe Conspiracy Theorists Think Trump Is an Immortal Alien, Got COVID as Cover to Shapeshift

\u201cEarthlings, prepare to be attacked\u2026\u201d tweeted Richard Van Steenberg in response to the recent news that Donald Trump contracted COVID-19. Steenberg, like many others who believe nefarious aliens are visiting our planet, is concerned that Trump\u2019s recent illness is a sign of the coming alien apocalypse.

Conspiracy theorists on the extreme fringe also suspect that Trump\u2014who they believe might be an immortal alien\u2014might have contracted coronavirus in an attempt to shed his mortal flesh and shapeshift into something else.

Steenberg started an online petition three years ago called \u201cDisclose: Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us.\u201d His website highlights the bulk of his theories and with nearly 30,000 Twitter followers and over 10,000 signatures on his petition, Steenberg is confident he knows the truth. He is a purveyor of bizarre conspiracies that are largely divorced from anything happening in the observable universe. While he has a following among conspiracy theorists, his beliefs are fringe even for that space.

He believes that these extraterrestrials are engaged in a plan to subvert humanity and take control via psychological manipulation. Trump, according to Steenberg, is most likely in on the plan.

\u201cThe plan has been in action since they put us on the planet as cavemen,\u201d he said. \u201cI would say Trump is either a HET [human alien hybrid] or CEA [a human complicit in the alien plot] in that he has known what is going on certainly for the better part of his public life on EArth and would have known early on he would be President,\u201d Steenberg explained. \u201cIf he's an HET [human alien hybrid], it's very probable he existed before EArth and took part in the design of the ETA [the plot to invade].\u201d


UFO sighting: Claims \u2019silver orb\u2019 spotted over New Hampshire - \u2018100% alien\u2019
Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1344032/ufo-sighting-silver-orb-video-canterbury-new-hampshire-alien

Some alien life conspiracy theorists suggest a UFO has been captured in footage purportedly filmed on October 1 in Canterbury, New Hampshire. The amateur video apparently shows a shows an odd anomaly sandwiched between two clouds.

The object in question is similarly cloud-coloured and vaguely spherical in shape.

This has led UFO hunters such as Scott Waring to speculate about its provenance.

Mr Waring wrote on his UFO Sightings blog: \u201cThe eyewitness was driving through Canterbury when he noticed a silver orb near the clouds.

\u201cHe tried his best to record it, but keeping an eye on the road was clearly more important.

\u201cLucky for us, he also kept an eye and camera on the UFO.

\u201cThe object is round and does seem to be deliberately flying near the clouds.

\u201cIt may have been hiding within one of them and decided to move to a new cloud.

\u201cAt the end of the video is a close up in slow motion. This is 100 percent alien in origin.\u201d

Mr Waring also provides a short statement from whom he claims is the original eyewitness.

They are quoted as saying: \u201cSilver sphere in clouds moves slowly while shape shifting until it blasts away from me.

\u201cSun reflecting off it while it appears to be struggling to launch off.

\u201cYou can see it clearly in the video even though it is small.


The Wow! Signal: An alien missed connection?
Did humanity\u2019s first contact with aliens already happen back in 1977? Probably not, but we may never know for sure.
Link: https://astronomy.com/news/2020/09/the-wow-signal-an-alien-missed-connection

On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, received the most powerful signal it would ever detect during its decades of observations. The signal lasted just 72 seconds, but when an astronomer spotted it on a computer printout days later, he was so impressed that he quickly scrawled \u201cWow!\u201d in red pen across the page. The data looked much like what SETI astronomers expected to see from an alien intelligence. However, despite many attempts to follow up on the find, the so-called \u201cWow! Signal\u201d has never reappeared.

\u201cWas that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,\u201d Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. \u201cNobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It's like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think \u2018My god ghosts are real.\u2019 But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?\u201d Most importantly, Shostak says that if the signal wouldn\u2019t have had Wow! written across it, no one would\u2019ve ever heard of it. One-off signals like this were common back in the early days of SETI, when observatory computers were too primitive to notify astronomers of discoveries in real time, or perform rapid-fire follow-ups.

To Jerry Ehman, reviewing large printouts of data every few days was a routine part of being a volunteer. And on August 17, 1977, as he looked through the latest stack of papers, he spotted a set of numbers and letters: 6EQUJ5.

To the untrained eye, it looks like nonsense. But to Ehman, the data meant that Big Ear had picked up a very strong signal that started out low, increased in strength, and then dropped off again. That meant the signal was likely picked up as one particular region of sky passed over the detector. It wasn\u2019t earthly. The signal also only appeared in one of 50 possible channels.

\u201cIt was a narrowband signal, just what we were looking for [with SETI],\u201d Ehman said. \u201cIt didn't take long for me to recognize that this was extremely interesting. And the word \u2018Wow!\u2019 came to my mind very quickly, so I wrote it down.\u201d

Wow! Signal follow-ups

Over the years, many other astronomers have followed-up on the Wow! Signal, either trying to explain it away or relocate it. But to astronomers like Shostak, the signal is really just one of many similar detections made over the years.

\u201cIn those days, it was very common to pick up these kinds of signals just one time,\u201d Shostak says. \u201cComputers didn't have the power to do real time follow-ups. If you picked it up today, the comp would say \u2018Wow!,\u2019 and astronomers would start nodding the telescope in the direction of the Wow! Signal to try to figure out what it was.\u201d Once observatory computers became sophisticated enough for real-time follow-ups, the number of mystery signals dropped. \u201cThe aliens knew we had better equipment,\u201d Shostak jokingly says.
