I’ve been alone since I was eight. I’m my only companion in this quest to find the place where I belonged. In this vast galaxy I can’t find my planet. I’ve been so many places that I can’t even remember my own parents. All the people on my planet have special abilities like flying, telekinesis, speed or super strength. Abilities like mind reading or teleportation are very rare, like only one a few thousand years rare. I don’t know how long I’ve been gone or even how old I am now. I’m somewhere in my mid-teens, I think? My clothes are tattered and I’m covered in dirt. Every so often I teleport to a planet with beings who resemble me. This is where I find safety, until I have to leave again. Sometimes I can finally find a change of clothes or scrub myself in a cold stream. It has been a while since I could safely roam.

Imagine 112 miles. Beyond the distance you can walk. If you get in your car and get on a highway, it is almost two hours of travel time. Now compare that distance to three inches. about the length of the longest finger of an adult. Three inches out of 112 miles. In relative terms, that is the distance human beings have travelled into space as compared to the distance we must travel to reach the nearest star. In late 1968, human beings traveled to the moon, circled it and returned. Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light-years away. Three inches out of 112 miles.

What comes to mind when someone talks about a UFO? Do you consider the cover of a fantasy novel and the image of mysterious bluish lights beaming down from it? Do you think about a time when you were out late in the dead of night and you saw a flash of light, wondered what it was only to realize a moment later that what you saw wasn’t a UFO – it had been just the lights of a plane that was beginning its descent. do you think about movies, or little green men, cartoons, or do you just turn away shaking your head?

Hello Vocal users, Movies such as District 9, Cloverfield and Under the Skin all have something in common, they are about aliens. Aliens are organisms found outside of our home planet, Earth. With all these movies and concepts of aliens floating through modern culture, it is surprising that we haven't even found alien societies yet! But, why? Taking into account the size of the Milky way, or the size of the universe, how is it possible there are no aliens? Earth is not the only habitable planet for life to nurture in so where in the Universe are they?

In 1997, the abnormally bright Hale - Bopp comet flared up a spectacular scenery of light in the night sky. On one extreme, its appearance frightened the astronomers whereas on the other, it brought with itself the most unanticipated misery to the families, a mass suicide tied with an extraterrestrial cosmic belief. It was a cult called ‘The Heavens’ Gate’ that had a firm faith that the Earth would be recycled (rejuvenated, wiped clean, born again) before the year 2027 and the only probability for the survival of their consciousness was to willfully leave their human bodies or as they called it, ‘vehicles’ at an appointed time.

In pop culture, they are often depicted as far superior to humans in terms of technology, physique, and intellect. But by studying the documented alien abductions and encounters, there are great indications that aliens, most notably “the greys” are actually dumber than us.

Having delved into the history of ancient Sumer and endeavoured to learn more about the Anunnaki, my path to enlightenment inevitably led to Roswell and then the Weddell Sea.

We’ve all heard of the Bermuda Triangle. The unexplained area where Amelia Earhart and others mysteriously vanished. Did you know Massachusetts has its own version, complete with a lengthy list of unexplained phenomenon?

But this world is probably more complicated and mysterious. Nature never takes long to bewilder us with all its capabilities, and it takes a moment to shake up all the perceptions and irrational beliefs that have been fed up to our brains over the centuries.

The ongoing epidemic could lead to an increase in UFO sightings as aliens could try to escape the planet, speculates the ufologist.

The line cook slapped the bell hard. Its loud ding ricocheting off the walls of the 24/7 diner and my head. White-red streamers goosed my amygdala before evaporating in scratchy blobs of mental light. Clearly, I had had enough coffee for the evening. I moved away from the food window and the bell. I parked it at the end of the counter.
