On April 18th, 1961 Joe Simonton encountered a UFO hovering over his home in Eagle River, Wisconsin. Joe provided water for the extraterrestrials inside, which they used to make him some pancakes before departing.
Why Aren’t Astronomers Paying More Attention To UFOs?
“The reason scientists don’t talk very much about UFOs or UAPs is simple: without sufficient data, we cannot draw any meaningful conclusions. It’s very easy to throw out an idea (or a guess) as to what each of these videos might actually be showing, and many scientists and non-scientists alike have eagerly done exactly that. However, what we’d like to do, as scientists, is to gather enough data to determine what these objects are likely to be. At present, it would be the height of irresponsibility to claim that we have that information.
We simply don’t know what they are. Are they unidentified? Absolutely. Unexplained? At least so far. Are they “flying” or aerial entities? Almost certainly; they certainly appear to be. And are they objects or phenomena? Sure; those words are nebulous enough that they apply equally to jumbo jets as they do to aurorae. What you mustn’t do, however, is to draw a fantastic conclusion — like “these objects must be aliens” — without sufficient evidence to do so. Given that these UFOs/UAPs are most frequently seen in areas with military presences, and have never been recorded in the professional telescopes of astronomers, the null hypothesis of these being terrestrial phenomena must continue to be our default position.”
“That we can send a message to a planet is certain. That we can get an answer is probable. Man on earth is not the only being in God’s great system of worlds that is in possession of a mind.”
–Nikola Tesla
“Tesla Has Message From The Stars.” Western Electrician, January 12, 1901.
It happened once, when the night was falling, an UFO landed right in front of don Juan Sanchez’ house. Two strange beings came out to take the cat, but the owner gave a tremendous blow to one of them. The second one saw his associate injured and wanted to grab the cat but don Juan didn’t let him. Then both of them ran to their flying ship. Thank you, Virgin, for such a great result.

Enigmatic Deep Space Flashes Could Be Powering Alien Spaceships, Say Harvard Scientists
By Paul Ratner
Two Harvard astronomers published a paper with an imagination-grabbing explanation of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), mysterious space signals that were first observed in 2007. These bursts are likely to be coming from galaxies billions of lights years away and have enormous energy to be visible from such a distance.
The powerful bursts are millisecond-long and while only 18 of them have been recorded so far, scientists think there could be an estimated 10,000 FRBs speeding through the cosmos every day. Previous theories proposed their sources to be newborn neutron stars or even nebulas powered by pulsar winds. But no concrete originator of the radio waves has yet been identified. This led astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics to theorize that the signals could potentially be coming a device that someone created.

Is Physical Law an Alien Intelligence?
Alien life could be so advanced it becomes indistinguishable from physics.
By Caleb Scharf
Illustration by Tianhua Mao
Perhaps Arthur C. Clarke was being uncharacteristically unambitious. He once pointed out that any sufficiently advanced technology is going to be indistinguishable from magic. If you dropped in on a bunch of Paleolithic farmers with your iPhone and a pair of sneakers, you’d undoubtedly seem pretty magical. But the contrast is only middling: The farmers would still recognize you as basically like them, and before long they’d be taking selfies. But what if life has moved so far on that it doesn’t just appear magical, but appears like physics?

Everybody, I’m going to try to breathe here on the other end of the computer. Okay, so I just discovered there are petroglyphs right here in my city. (I have lived here for 18 years, I never knew until recently) So I hiked up to them today and what do I find?! WHAT DO I FIND?! WELL TAKE A LOOK. A UFO. I am barely breathing right now. I love this. I am so happy.

I floop-floopian LOVE this guy’s stuff, so much…His designs give me chills in a way I’ve felt on only a handful of occasions since first reading EXPEDITION over 25 years ago.The most abstracted of his creations approach the level of otherworldliness I associate with true “aliens”–organisms generated independently by biotic processes occurring on a remote world in total isolation from terrestrial evolution. Look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair!
