Demi Lovato knows the truth is out there after they had a “beautiful and incredible” encounter with a UFO. The 29-year-old pop star told E! News that they had a close encounter in Joshua Tree, California. Along the desert landscape, they saw a “blue orb” darting across the sky in an experience, they said, that “changed the way” they see the world. “You have an inkling,” they explained, “and then all of a sudden that inkling is confirmed. It changes your reality for sure. We went out into the desert in Joshua Tree and I basically saw this blue orb … Read more

What If Alien Genders Are Nothing Like Ours?

Every Wednesday, we’re asking a what-if question – how would our world be different if something were changed? Today’s question is from QSFer SI Clarke: What if alien sex and/or gender look nothing like we’ve come to expect on Earth? How would that affect human-alien interactions? How we see ourselves?

Telling ET Friend From Foe

Despite the naive storylines about interstellar travel in science fiction, biological creatures were not selected by Darwinian evolution to survive travel between stars. Such a trip would necessarily span many generations, since even at the speed of light, it would take tens of thousands of years to travel between stars in our galaxy’s disk and 10 times longer across its halo. If we ever encounter traces of aliens, therefore, it will likely be in the form of technology, not biology. Technological debris could have accumulated in interstellar space over the past billions of years, just as plastic bottles have accumulated … Read more

SPACE: Lots of Alien Worlds Could Know We’re Here

by

At least 1,715 nearby star systems sat at a perfect angle to view Earth during the past 5,000 years, meaning aliens living in those systems, if they exist and have the right technology, could have watched our planet from afar as early human civilizations first emerged. Of those star systems, 313 exited the special viewing zone, known as the Earth transit zone (ETZ), sometime in the past few thousand years, leaving 1,402 star systems capable of providing a glimpse of our planet today, according to a new study, published Wednesday (June 23) in the journal Nature. And over the next … Read more

ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: Ternary – Kristin L. Stamper

by
Ternary - Kristin L. Stamper

Kristin L. Stamper has a new MMF sci fi book out: Ternary. And there’s a giveaway! Elora isn’t a robot, but she isn’t human either. She’s an abominable combination of the two, a cyborg. For this offense, she must face judgment in a court of law. There, it will be decided if she’s a person, owed the same rights as any other, or an object, owed no rights at all. But when a last-ditch effort to demonstrate her humanity backfires, Elora is faced with an element of human nature she always hoped to avoid: love. The consciousness of a dead … Read more

You Had Me At “Black Hole Power Sucking Aliens”

by
Black Hole Wormhole - Deposit Photo

Aliens could be sucking power from black holes — and that could be how we’d spot the extraterrestrials, scientists say. This energy-harvesting technology could leave traces just outside a spinning black hole’s event horizon — the boundary beyond which a black hole’s gravity becomes too strong for matter and energy to escape. And the process could explain at least some flares of plasma, a white-hot form of charged gas, that scientists have already detected near these massive disruptions in time and space. a new study published Jan. 13 in the journal Physical Review D proposes. And while it’s only a … Read more

SPACE: Have Aliens Already Visited Us?

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb says he has found good evidence for alien technology in the solar system, what could be called alien garbage, and that some other scientists don’t take his ideas seriously because of “groupthink.” In his new book “Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), set to be published Jan. 26, Loeb describes his journey to a radical position on the strange interstellar visitor that’s been dubbed ‘Oumuamua — a cigar- or disc-shaped object that whizzed through our solar system in 2017. When ‘Oumuamua flashed through the sun’s neighborhood in 2017, scientists didn’t … Read more

SPACE: What We Learned About Aliens in 2020

by
human alien - deposit photos

Here on the little space rock we call Earth, humans often wonder whether or not we are alone in this universe. Though that question was not answered in 2020, many discoveries seemed to increase the prospect of extraterrestrial entities existing. Findings on the closest planet to us, in the outer solar system and the far beyond seemed to point to the possibility that other worlds could host organisms ranging from bacteria to technological beings. Perhaps, new results in the coming year will finally reveal who else might be out there. Is E.T. phoning us from Proxima Centauri? The answer to … Read more
