Aliens And Theories

Be it E.T, War of The Worlds or Koi Mil Gaya, films and popular literature have added a spark in building a vivid construct of our foreign friends in our imagination. Aliens remain abstract entities for most part of understanding; however the question of their existence still has a strong hold over our curiosity.

I was pretty sure that as a child, I had inarguably spotted a UFO, but as it turns out, it was a shooting star. Now, that may have dampened my spirits a bit, however these theories solidly hint towards the existence of extra-terrestrial life:

1. According to a top report released in the New York Times, the Pentagon had spent five solid years exploring “unexplained aerial phenomena”.The conclusion had something to do with how aliens might be visiting us on a pretty regular basis. Just a thought. Not scary or bewildering or mystifying at all.

2. You know the Central Intelligence Agency? The one which is supposed to kind of be the best intelligence agency in the World? They too had the following thoughts on this matter; Based on data it collected, the program identified five observations that showed mysterious objects displaying some level of “advanced physics,” also known as “stuff humans can’t do yet”: The objects would accelerate with g-forces too strong for the human body to withstand, or reach hypersonic speed with no heat trail or sonic boom, or they seemed to resist the effects of Earth’s gravity without any aerodynamic structures to provide thrust or lift. Just regular, everyday things, you know.

4. There have been several asteroids spotted which look an incredible lot like rocket ships. A lot. Seriously speaking.

3. NASA has the following thoughts-Our ability to parse volumes of data in mere seconds means we could conceivably survey much of the galaxy in just a few decades. That’s why, in the past few years, Shostak has continually bet a cup of coffee with everyone he knows that humans will find aliens by around 2029. “We’d have to be dead above the neck if we weren’t interested in this,” says Penelope Boston, the director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute.

5. A huge number of people, the kind of numbers which simply cannot be ignored- Air force spotting, hypnosis, phoenix lights- you name it, altogether have content enough to fill a library.

Reading up all these theories might just make one wonder why exactly we beat up our heads in exploring the unfathomable, but the plain truth is that finding aliens also somewhat gives validation to our very own existence. In a way, it actually makes us less high and mighty than what we perceive of ourselves-we are much more akin to a dot in the infinite cosmos. The mere thought itself is both humbling and enlightening. It also happens to be the less boring version of the Universe which is so vast and limitless. Think of the Universe as one giant jumbled puzzle. Now the puzzle pieces might be a bit bigger than usual, but doesn’t all the mystery and fun lie in the undoing?
