                                        Life in outer space? Astronomers hunt aliens





Fri Jun 20, 2008
 
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's biggest astronomical observatories are teaming up for an unprecedented quest to find out whether there is life in outer space.

The project, led by Japanese astronomers, will bring together a dozen or more observatories from all over the country to study one star that researchers see as a potential home to an extraterrestrial civilization.

"Everyone wonders at least once in their lifetime whether space is infinite and whether aliens really do exist," said Shinya Narusawa, chief researcher at Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory in western Japan.

The search for aliens and UFOs is not new to Japan. Last year, unidentified flying objects grabbed the headlines after a lawmaker submitted a question to the cabinet on whether the country had confirmed any cases of their existence. The government's answer: no.

In the scientific world, Japanese researchers have used antennas to catch radio signals from outer space and analyzed the prisms of celestial lights to see if any laser emissions from space can be found, Narusawa said.

Their searches have not been too fruitful so far. The new project will involve multiple astronomers filming one star over several nights some time next year, along with the usual light analysis and recording of radio signals.

"When there are some suspicious signals, sometimes it's hard to tell whether they are artificial ones coming from the earth, for example from machines, or whether they are coming from the stars in the natural world," Narusawa said.

With multiple participants observing one star, it will be easier to check on whether the signals received are actually from the natural world, he said, adding that they have not decided on which star to observe.

The participants are realistic about the slim chance of encountering signals from outer space during the short experiment, but they see a larger significance.

"By thinking about outer space, we hope this will be an opportunity where people can re-appreciate the earth and human beings," Narusawa said.

They already know there is life in outer space.  Don't know why this is such a big surprise or why they waited so long.  SETI has been at this for years now.  When I was about 10 years old, my uncle (now deceased) came over one day.  He was one of the folks who had top level clearance and what he showed us that day forever changed how I see this spec of a world against the vastness of 'space'.  I kid you not, he showed us multiple pictures taken by NASA from a shuttle that clearly showed not one but SEVERAL 'saucer' shaped space craft buzzing by them, and this was 28 years ago!  Our government hides it, Mexico plasters it all over their news stations, & I've seen one hovering over Miami with my own eyes about 2 years ago.  The reason they haven't been fruitful yet is because the aliens don't want to be found yet or the government doesn't want mass panic on their hands.
Blessings,
Lynn

Did your uncle work fore the government, Cleasterwood? 
Wouldn't it be logical to assume that the government and the aliens are actually working together but they want to keep it a secret?  Those craft have been buzzing around for years.

Hi Amon Ra,
My Uncle was an Airforce SP with Top Secret clearance.  It was really neat to see the saucers hovering near the shuttle.  It's certainly logical to think our government & aliens are working together.  Take for instance the Mexican government.  They don't hide UFOs existence at all.  They actually encourage folks to snap photos & the local news constantly puts video of UFOs on TV.

No the Illuminati running Earth don't want to give up the extortion racket via the fossil-fuels.

Free energy (wovoostyn) means no way to fund Earthly kakistocracies.

That and the Lyrans in our slar system deem our rocket fuels too pollutant.
