One of the spring days of 1959, American astronomer Frank Drake, who was sitting at the remote control of the radio telescope, raised the alarm: – Wow! In we are not alone in the universe! There is a clear signal! When the clock showed that the experiment on probing the far Cosmos lasts exactly 200 hours, the instruments recorded the first signal in which some reasonable information. Radiations were received from the stars Epsilon Eridan and tau whale. The probe was guided by resonant radiation interstellar hydrogen – at a wave of 21, 137 cm. chiefs, operators and simple laboratory assistants scrolled in cold blood tape recorder back, included additional analyzers, connected the mainframe and stared at the scales, digital displays and recorders. They were waiting for a miracle to happen … Alas, a recheck showed that here “there is a computer failure.” Sensation then not took place. The astronomer suffered a painful nervous breakdown. Still: he dreamed first to detect signs of intelligent life in the universe. TO of our time, the scientific and philosophical foundations laid down by D. Bruno continued by M. Lomonosov and K. Tsiolkovsky, E. Renan and K. Flammarion, there were three clear postulates. The first is the logical basis for assuming that the emergence of life on earth is the result of natural evolution common to the whole Cosmos. Second – what happened in the organic world of our planet may well to be on other celestial satellite bodies of other stars. Third – the human mind is not the maximum of what can be formed and evolve on celestial bodies in space. Latest scientific work in the field of the structure of the universe is very optimistic and give real hope for the discovery of planets with civilized aliens on their radio signals from distant Cosmos. An exception life on our earth from a random phenomenon is based on that the formation of stars and planets around them from cosmic dust goes the same everywhere – even on the edge of the Milky Way, even in its center. “It is possible that the Milky Way is teeming with rational creatures. New astronomical models of the world prove that every 24th Sun in our Galaxy is surrounded by its planets. On the billions of celestial bodies can be water, a warm atmosphere with oxygen and the phenomena of life “- as the famous English claims astrophysicist David Hughes. He created a whole composition of formulas, leading contemporaries to the idea that the number of possible places habitats of intelligent creatures can now be precisely defined, and You can search for them purposefully. Munich astronomer Reinhard Gentsel is convinced that our Earth is moderately heated rich in water simply cannot be an exception in the universe. By 2000, he going to draw up a star map showing planetary systems, similar to ours. According to his calculations, it turns out that the number of planets, similar to our Earth in terms of life, approaching 4 billions. With so many of them you can search and find. Program The search for which Frank Drake worked was closed in 1982, when the state appropriation ended. Alas with the radio interception failed to capture a single signal that could be attributed to the traces of a technologically advanced civilization. All attempts were unsuccessful. And even the experience of two astrophysicists, working on a giant radio telescope in Arecibo and trying to find tritium radio emissions in space, did not give the expected results that I really wanted to associate with the traces of work extraterrestrial fusion power station … Exploration work canned. True, after this long-distance conferences, discussions, episodic sounding of the night sky. There was no shortage of new proposals and hypotheses. But there wasn’t necessary appropriations. Then Ronald Reagan and then George W. Bush promised something, but their advisers demanded the development of a clear programs and estimates. The need for global surveillance systems, the participation of radio telescopic stations at least a dozen countries. Indeed, in principle, the discovery of radio signals extraterrestrial origin should not belong to one country, but all of humanity. And so the new SETY project came about, dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the New World. Naturally he would based on pre-agreed international efforts on fundamentally new technical base, on the selection of a wider spectrum of search radio frequencies. This time, an analysis cosmic emissions reaching our planet in billions channels. Until 2002, radio telescopes will be around the clock sound the sky (Note: “Today is 5/12/2000 in the news announced that when filming Mars from the satellite were received photos with which you can say that life is on Mars existed since recesses in which could there is water, and these depressions, played the role of the oceans), spending a little more than one minute on each targeted point. On the suspicious places, of course, will spend more time. And what in fact, suggest radio astronomers catch in a noisy intergalactic ether? They can’t work without any working hypothesis? I tried to answer this burning question recently. Michael Kline, Pasadena Space Laboratory Officer: “Imagine a snowfall over all of Alaska. Suppose you among all trillions of snowflakes, they were instructed to find one – artificial, made for the sake of an experiment aboard a UFO. And you look at the sky will have through a straw for a cocktail. So, our task harder. A signal carrying information can be expected with any side of the vast sky. He will be inside a messy cosmic noise and will, of course, be weak. So her we are we expecting? Honestly, we hope for a happy occasion. But one thing Now it seems certain – the signal should be as if repeatable, with a semantic load. It may be a siren space navigation beacon, electromagnetic waves from intercoms of orbital stations, echoes of waves from powerful power plants. We hope for radio signals from “strangers” radio telescopes. And, of course, the most exciting hope is to get signal with a message to our mind. “Clearly, there are several such answers reassure the curious public and taxpayers. But here it is clear to experts that quick success is not to be expected. Search reason in the universe, of course, an important and interesting thing, but extremely complex and problematic. But then why optimism of the organizers? Split, as they say, the authors SETI programs succeeded by French reporters. In confidential conversation in the summer of 1992 when the US House of Representatives in once again rejected the draft, and the Senate approved and found the first 100 millions on budget allocations, US radio astronomers listed three factors of their optimism. The first is specific hopes for additional funding from sponsors – various concerns requiring prestigious advertising. Private funds will go to expand and modernize the search program yet until the year 2000. The second is hopes for an active international cooperation after 1994, when the project should Radio telescopes of dozens of countries of the world will consistently join. Third, the hope that after 1995 the search methods themselves will become more diverse, in particular due to the potential European science. In addition, the data center should receive a new generation of computer systems, including neutron-type blocks, imitating the work of brain cells. They will be able do trillions of operations per second and independent logical inputs. Information for consideration: From time to time people report that they were inflicted on them during UFO contact or abduction pain or injury. Physical effects include irritation. eye, sunburn, damage to the skin, disease. After experienced witnesses may experience nightmares, feeling anxiety, and may also undergo changes in character or in understanding basic life principles. Witnesses especially stolen, become convinced of the reality of UFOs and others paranormal events such as poltergeist or manifestation psychic powers. One of the most famous UFO sightings with deplorable consequences for witnesses described by two women, Betty Cache and Vicky Landrum, as well as the grandson of Mrs. Landrum, Colby. In December 1980, they drove along a road in the desert of Texas. They are ahead saw a bright faceted diamond object spewing out flame from the bottom. Mrs. Cash stopped the car and got out to better to see a UFO. The object emitted intense heat, melting dashboard in her car. Frightened, Mrs. Cash returned to the car and along with the others watched as the object flies away. All of a sudden a squadron of helicopters appeared. They approached the object and surrounded him. Witnesses stared at the object, followed by helicopters until they were out of sight. Returning home, everyone three felt sick. A few hours later they blisters of tan color appeared on the body, nausea and diarrhea. Betty The cache had the most severe symptoms and, after all, her medical assistance was required. She was hospitalized as injured by burns. The examining doctor did the conclusion that all symptoms indicate radiation sickness, i.e. radiation exposure. Later, the victims sued the American government, claiming that it bears responsibility for harm caused to them. (They identified helicopters, like twin-engine Chinook helicopters, used by the US Army.) The lawsuit was unsuccessful, as they could never prove that UFOs or helicopters managed by the american government. Today we we see that all the requirements put forward are partially fulfilled and now This project is developing successfully. The first experiments began on 112 foot radio telescope. In California and at a large installation in Puerto Rico. Then Australia radio telescopes are systematically connected and Spain. Ready for general installation in France, Argentina, and also in hawaii. Also connects our telescope countries. One of the SETI Project Managers, Professor D. Billingheim, called another reason for optimism, however, the general scientific plan. Revive the project after a 10-year break and put the issue of new appropriations would be helped by the fact that by means of radio astronomy and astronomical spectroscopy in interstellar space of our Galaxy managed to fix initial life forms – 90 organic molecules and traces 55 amino acids. In a word, in Cosmos there are some fundamentals of organic of life. It was this sensational fact that made it possible to put pressure on Senate by reputable scientists of the United States, including the famous astronomer Carl Sagan, who for stubbornly upholding the idea the habitability of other worlds has long been nicknamed “modern Giordano Bruno.” After all, it was precisely on him in 1982 that the main stream of abuse fell ridicule from the “thrifty” government officials. US scientists were extremely frank, demanding the restoration of the search program extraterrestrial mind. They wrote to the upper echelons of power that even the failure of the new project will be justified in any case. Firstly, there will be significantly improved radio telescopes and electronic space tracking devices, without which in the 21st century get along. Secondly, the entire space screened by detectors and computers noise in which, for example, cannot be recognized in 10 years meaningful signals, but it still helps to collect a lot of important information expanding our understanding of the universe, in which we are certainly not alone. Information for consideration: B currently the american government is not officially engaged a study of UFO sightings, although there are several evidence indicating that various government institutions continue to secretly show interest in this topic. IN the last forty years, however, there have been several projects and study groups that studied UFO evidence at least superficially. Since UFOs are by air phenomena, the US Air Force from 1947 to 1969 carried out several UFO reporting projects. The most famous The Blue Book project, which was carried out from 1952 to 1969. Although for a large number of UFO reports have been received over the years, including numerous testimonies of military and civil pilots, as well as other technical workers, the Air Force declared the UFO unrealistic. The military took UFO reports seriously for fear that they can be used to confuse and discourage normal operation of American intelligence and communications, thereby making America vulnerable to a surprise attack by some foreign powers. Some military experts admitted the possibility that the Soviet Union using captured German Scientists have developed a technology far superior to American. Therefore, the Air Force concluded that the study of UFO reports you need to continue until it is proved that such an opportunity unlikely. Air Force Studies Explained Most observations of natural phenomena or mistakenly identified aircraft equipment. However, several hundred UFO reports remained, not amenable to such an easy explanation. In 1966 in America a wave of stunning UFO sightings swept across the press. Political leaders, especially congressmen, experienced strong pressure from voters who demanded explain their observations. In Congress, a special committee, which demanded that the Air Force give their explanations, resolving this problem forever. In response, the Air Force concluded an agreement with University of Colorado on final UFO phenomenon research – research that should have finally solve the UFO problem and give this phenomenon satisfying each explanation. The project was led by a professor Edward Condon, a physicist who expressed a negative opinion about life on other planets and UFO reality. Several participants research (which became known as the “Condon Committee”) the professors were openly and impartially accused of pretense and “flirting” with the public, thus showing their biased attitude towards this whole undertaking. Despite the flaring up fierce discussion between scientists over which they were dismissed several committee members, and Congress organized its own UFO symposium, Condon Committee continued to work and, in the end finally released the final report. In the conclusion written Professor Kondo-nom, said that over 20 years of experience UFO study did not bring new scientific knowledge and further study not justified. Critics accused Condon Commission of not reporting consistent with the data studied and that all this venture was pretense from the very beginning. Despite the heated debate around the Condon Commission report, the Air Force was clearly satisfied and used the report as a reason to close the Blue Book project in December 1969 Despite this, most ufologists are sure that the government has an extensive UFO databank and secretly continues to research. Their confidence was reinforced by the fact that U.S. intelligence agencies under pressure the public released some documents showing that they accumulated UFO information that is still classified how top secret. Government does not allow public access to these documents, despite numerous attempts researchers see them, through the “Freedom of Information Act” (Freedom of Information Act; FOIA), which allows American citizens receive any government document disclosure which does not threaten national security. In response to government reluctance to publish documents, group of ufologists “Ground Saucer Watch” started legal action to declassify documents on UFO sightings at the military bases in the 1970s. After the “Ground UFO Surveillance” comprehended financial difficulties, another organization undertook business Citizens Against UFO Secrecy Against UFO Secrecy; CAUS). Although “Citizens Against Secrecy Around UFOs” argued that the release of official UFO information was not may cause damage to national security, american secret agencies claimed it would endanger them operations. Even when ufologists emphasized that they were only interested in UFO information and nothing related to American security, the government flatly refused to give out information. Finally, federal judge Gerhardt Gessel shared in closed session secret services concerns about national security. Ufologists protested the decision, arguing that the hearing was dishonest. In particular, the group indicated that the judge was not allowed look through the materials, despite the fact that the judge had complete right. In fact, Judge Gessel received only a general explanation, why the government cannot make documents public. These lengthy explanations and served as the basis for a decision. Although “citizens against secrecy around UFOs” could not win business, the organization continues to work to get the desired documents on the “Freedom of Information Act”.
