They're Headed Our Way
NEW YORK - A kamikaze UFO loaded with super nukes is on a collision course with Earth - and top military and space experts from around the world have called a secret meeting to deal with the crisis.
That's the alarming report leaked to a United Nations reporter by a disgruntled UN delegate.
The delegate, identified only as being from a sub-Sahara African country, revealed that the meeting is so super-secret that even top U.N. authorities have been denied access.
"There's simply no time for catering to the egos of international prima donnas, or long, drawn-out debates by politicians," according to the reporter - who is also from Africa.
"It's a time for rapid, decisive action - by professional warriors with the means and the know-how to knock out this nuclear juggernaut before it turns our planet into chunks of flaming space gravel," he said.
According to the sketchy information provided by the delegate and to independent investigation by the newshound, the giant spacecraft is packed to the brim with a devastating nuclear cocktail designed to shatter our planet on impact and knock it off its axis.
The identity and motivation of the alien civilization behind the attack is apparently unknown to the consortium of military and space authorities from the United States, Russia, England, Japan and mainland China known to have joined forces in the defensive effort.
Suspicions and old enmities threatened to derail the cooperative effort - and Chinese authorities were especially reluctant to share their military secrets - until someone in Beijing made it clear that cooperation was the only way humanity could hope to survive.
Consequently, plans are believed to be underway to launch a rocket packed with our own nuclear bombs from a secret military launching site in Mongolia's Gobi desert to intercept the killer UFO.
Astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station may be used to guide the interceptor, according to documents obtained by the reporter.
"Tragically," he said, "these brave men may be called on to sacrifice their own lives in this last-ditch effort to save mankind."

With several planets orbiting billions of stars in billions of galaxies?
It's impossible for us to be alone in the universe.

people make me laugh.
on our planet, there is what we, as humans, consider life.
if I ask you what lifeforms there are - you will first say us rockin humans, then go on about the chimps and the whales (and the goats!!! yeah...) and the llamas (whoo hooo!!!).
but a large portion are going to ignore the bacteria, or the vriuses (viri?)
the chances of other life anything like us out there? I'd say practically zero.
the chances of microbiotics, bacteria, yeast, viri?? very high.
there's a lot of shit out there, and those are all very tolerant creatures.
as for intelligent life - you also have to define intelligence. something might be more efficient than us at something, does that make it more intelligent? not likely in your eyes - but you consider yourself more intelligent than a mushroom due to your ability to reason, but again, it is just what basis you use to decide intelligence.
it is far easier for me to just say that you people make me laugh.
I'm just gonna add this to my sig I think b/c I say it far to often:
Read these books and you will be much smarter and a better person for it:
The Demon-Haunted World : Science As a Candle in the Dark
by Carl Sagan
How We Know What Isn't So : The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life
by Thomas Gilovich
The Collapse of Chaos : Discovering Simplicity in a Complex World
by Jack Cohen, Ian Stewart (Contributor)
(although on the last one, I disagree with their views on the genetic manipulation - they use faulty analogies and then base further reasoning off of those analogies)

-Warik
well i eath was seeded by a comet than yeah maybe.
we only know carbon based life, with wwater being absolutely necessary. therefore we can only predict the possiblilty of life on worlds with liquid water (that moon of jupiters, think its ither europa or Io has possible sub-surface lakes).....but what if life could exist outside of water. we havent encountered it but it might be possible.
its a mighty big universe.

Scientists Claim Evidence of Life in Outer Space
By Patricia Reaney
LONDON (Reuters) - A team of international
researchers said on Tuesday they have found what
could be the first proof of life beyond our planet --
clumps of extraterrestrial bacteria in the Earth's upper
atmosphere.
Although the bugs from space are similar to bacteria on Earth, the
scientists said the living cells found in samples of air from the edge of the
planet's atmosphere are too far away to have come from Earth.
``There is now unambiguous evidence for the presence of clumps of living
cells in air samples from as high 41 kilometers (25 miles), well above the
local tropopause (16 kilometers up), above which no air from lower down
would normally be transported,'' Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, an
astronomer at Cardiff University in Wales, said in a statement.
Wickramasinghe and scientists from India collected the space bugs from
samples of stratospheric air using the Indian Space Research
Organization's cryogenic sampler payload flown on balloons from a
launch pad in Hyderabad, southern India.
Using a fluorescent dye the scientists detected living cells in the sample
and estimated by the way their distribution varied with height that they
are falling from space. As much as a third of a ton of the biological
material is raining down over the entire planet daily, by their estimation.
SPACE BACTERIA
Professor David Lloyd, a microbiologist at Cardiff University who
examined the space bugs and co-authored the report, said they look like
common terrestrial bacteria but there is no explanation of how they could
have risen so high.
``There would have to be some unusual event which would take particles
from the Earth to a height of 40 kilometers,'' Lloyd said in a telephone
interview.
The bacteria could have hitched a ride on a rocket or satellite into space or
they really could be from another planet.
``We have no evidence for one or the other as yet,'' said Lloyd. ``The most
likely possibility is that the bacteria have arrived from another planet. I'd
like to think that, at any rate.''
Lloyd has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to grow the bacteria in culture but
said he hasn't found the right conditions yet.
``It's the first pointer that it is possible to get evidence that there is life on
other planets,'' he added.
Wickramasinghe is convinced the space bugs provide strong support for
the panspermia theory -- which suggests that life may have come from
outer space in the form of germs or spores.
``We have argued for more than two decades that terrestrial life was
brought down to Earth by comets and that cometary material containing
micro-organisms must still reach us in large quantities,'' he said.

Yes. As techniques improve for searching the universe for planets and forming solar systems, we've learned something: Planets are everywhere. They're very common. Now, life is beginning to show us interesting things as we can explore it more thoroughly. It's really not "super special" and unusual. Under many conditions, it seems materials almost gravitate toward creating life as their complexity grows. It is really amazing how common life could be in the universe.
Without a doubt, life exists elsewhere.....in abundance.

I agree with you due to the sheer size of the universe.
but I disagree with the previous statement regarding the shift towards complexity - and again, I refer you to my signature - the collapse of chaos will go into why you are wrong.
those three books are all you need in life.
life is actually very hard due to the fact that you need certain temp variables and chemical densities - those are based again on temp, relative abundance, and pressure.
and once again, I agree that there is most likely much life out there, but I'd bet my life on it that it is no life like what most people would assume. it certainly doesn't have two arms, two legs, and a head.
it is liekly either bacteria, mold (yeast and the like), or a virus. (and there is evidence against the virus)

we can only use our own planets forms of life as a comparison. its possible that life could take another form, but we have no way of predicting if thats even possible.
i ws reading somewhere that people believe virus's arose as a fragment from the DNA of a plasma cell and proliferated that way. but if all complec cellls have mitochondria, and these are basically bacteria, tats a hell of a chance for something like that to occur yet if it didnt we wouldnt be here.

hmm - last I knew, virus (viri - I never know) don't hve dna - I'd have to double check to be sure.
I thought that manipulated dna of our cells and of bacteria, but had no real dna of their own.
I thought that manipulated dna of our cells and of bacteria, but had no real dna of their own.
yeah they have DNA and sometimes RNA (are referred to as retrovirus's) HIV is a retrovirus for example.
they insert there own DNA into ur strands of DNA, fool ur cell into making loads of virus's instead of useful stuff then burst out of the cell all at once, killing the cell
bastard virus's.
but they cant figure out how something like a virrus could exist as all it is basically is a nucleic acid strand, protein covering it and sometimes an enzyme to convert the RNA to DNA. thats it. so how would something like that evolve or even be considered alive. thats why they think it just broke off a primitive cell. but we've never seen anything like that in nature today (unless u count prions, and thats due to the conservative government under maggie thatcher and all that. bitch)
