Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: An Archaeological Approach to Verifying Evidence for Extraterrestrial Exploration on Earth
نویسنده
چکیده
In considering the possibility of the existence of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, an independent means of verifying eyewitness accounts of flying saucers and alien beings on Earth is proposed. The approach would be an archaeological one whereby various archaeological surveying and excavation techniques would be used to examine an alleged landing or crash site of an extraterrestrial craft. The alleged flying saucer crash sites of 1947 in the vicinity of Roswell, New Mexico, are highlighted by way of example. Following an overview of the eyewitness testimony relating to the Roswell Incident, the methods by which the crash sites might be assessed are

ASTROBIOLOGY: The Study of the Living Universe
! Abstract Astrobiology is the study of the living universe. Astronomy provides the context for the origin and evolution of life on Earth. Conversely, discoveries about the terrestrial biosphere—from extremophilic microbes to the evolution of intelligence— inform our thinking about prospects for life elsewhere. Astrobiology includes the search for extraterrestrial life via in situ exploration, ...
متن کاملSETI : The Dream of a New Era
Carl Sagan’s words convey how the detection of an extraterrestrial form of intelligence would not just be a new discovery, it would be the beginning of a new era. Fortytwo years ago when Philip Morrison and Giuseppe Cocconi, two physicists at MIT, published the famous paper “Searching for Interstellar Communications”, they gave birth to the idea of starting a Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelli...
متن کاملSignal coverage approach to the detection probability of hypothetical extraterrestrial emitters in the Milky Way
The lack of evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, even the simplest forms of animal life, makes it is difficult to decide whether the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is more a high-risk, high-payoff endeavor than a futile attempt. Here we insist that even if extraterrestrial civilizations do exist and communicate, the likelihood of detecting their signals cruciall...
متن کاملPredicting the performances of rigid rover wheels on extraterrestrial surfaces based on test results obtained on earth
With a growing number of nations interested in planetary exploration, research and development of extraterrestrial rovers have been intensified. The usual practice is to test the performances of rovers on soil simulants on earth, prior to their deployment to extraterrestrial bodies. It is noted that in the tests the soil simulant is subject to the earth gravity, while the terrain on the extrate...
متن کاملFurther study of the method of approach to testing the performance of extraterrestrial rovers/rover wheels on earth
The current practice for experimentally evaluating the performance of extraterrestrial rovers/rover wheels is to conduct tests on earth on a soil simulant, appropriate to the regolith on the extraterrestrial body of interest. In the tests, the normal load (force) applied by the rover/rover wheel to the soil simulant is set identical to that expected on the extraterrestrial surface, taking into ...
