We Are Not alone

We Are Not Alone

“If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."
-Stephen Hawking

Are we alone in this vast universe or are there numerous eyes watching us from stars far away? Does life exist in outer space?Have extra-terrestrials made contact with human civilizations? How true are the stories about human abductions by aliens?These questions on the topic have been always sensational, but still remained unsolved mysteries among our race and have been an eminent reason for curiosity and unlimited discussions.

There has been immense search for the existence of life forms on other planets of the universe for centuries.But these researches conducted as expeditions by NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) were successful only to a limit.There have been many theories about where aliens come from but there is no absolute proof till date.NASA had launched a special research programme named SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), but it continues to remain unanswered for  the past decades.

Some of the theories are based on alleged evidences of extraterrestrial life like ancient artifacts from Egypt, crop circles, rumors of alien abductions, eye witnesses, photographs and video footage.

Classifications have been made for types of aliens as per speculative and supposed human interactions.Aliens are primarily fantasized to be of a few types The Greys,The Reptilians, The Human-like aliens, etc.The alien abductions of humans have also been categorized into types namely Lucid Dream,Techno/Telepathic, Bio Energy Field Extraction(Mind control), Physical Abduction, Past Life Recall etc.

Various types of studies have been formulated like Xenoarchaeology, Ufology,extraterrestrial anthropology, archaeology and Selena archaeology which are vast subjects to be approached with real  .Some popular incidents reported are the Roswell incident, Kashtin , Puerto Rico, and Virginia,  incidents in the 90's.

There had always been civilizations that kept pointing towards an unknown power. Examples are the Egyptian pyramids,the Ajanta caves and many more. The lost city of Atlantis,Bermuda triangle etc. Many films that have been picturized on this concept , of which famous ones are ET, the Fourth kind,The day the earth stood still, Independence day, Battleship,Star Trek and many more. The list is limitless.

From all these incidents and research by various organizations across the world, one thing is certain; “Something is out there”, beyond our known preview of space into the depth of the universe. If so, they exist in such a dimension that our human intellect cannot identify. Though human beings may not have the required technological advances right now, this hunt for other life forms would never end in the near future and would continue for centuries to come.

LESSONS TO BE LEARNT YET

“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”
