The Mystery of Extraterrestial Life

By: Cameron Dunning

The Mystery

  • There are thousands of theories explaining aliens existence, either in space, or previous visits to planet earth. There have been alien and Ufo sightings claimed all over the world, and the true existence of aliens is a mystery. Will we ever know the truth, or possibly, is the truth being covered up.

Facts SURROUNDING Extraterrestrial Life

  • Astronomers Margaret Turnbull and Jill Tarter of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., have compiled a list of 17,129 nearby stars most likely to have planets that could support complex life.
  • According to Turnbull, stars must be at least 3 billion years old (to allow life time to evolve), have low mass, and have high levels of iron; metals are needed to form rocky, Earthlike planets.

Facts CONTINUED

  • Perhaps the earliest UFO sighting occurred in 1450 B.C., when Egyptians saw bright circles of light in the sky. Some UFO obsessives interpret Ezekiel: 1 in the Bible as a UFO report

Facts Continued

  • In 1957, Antonio Villas Boas, a Brazilian farmer, reported that he was abducted by barking aliens who covered him in gel and mated with him.
  • Most likely spots for alien life in our solar system: underground refuges on Mars, hot spots on Saturn's moon Enceladus (whose south pole is dotted with geysers), and Jupiter's moons Europa and Callisto (whose icy crusts may conceal vast, underlying oceans of water).

Alien Theories

  • In an interview with Dateline NBC in 1996, Mitchell said he had met with officials from three other countries who had personal encounters with aliens from other planets, not just secondhand information. The evidence of alien contact was strong and classified, including that extraterrestrials were giving technology to the U.S. government, he said. In 2004, Mitchell said that the government was studying alien bodies but stopped sharing that information with presidents after John F. Kennedy

My Opinion

  • I feel that somewhere in the universe there is extraterrestrial life, there has to be because of how big the universe is. I also feel at one time in history aliens have visited earth, possibly a secret the government keeps from the public. I feel there are currently alien activity on earth at the moment.
