National Geographic "Alien Contact" show
Article 'We Are Not Alone': Astronomer Predicts Alien Contact By 2025
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/st...2359262&EDATE= Talks about an episode on the National Geographic Channel's show known as Naked Science: "Alien Contact" which "...explores the latest developments in the search for extraterrestrials on Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Viewers will hear from top scientists, planet hunters, and others convinced that life exists beyond our planet. Naked Science dares to explore the outer limits of their theories, and helps separate scientific fact from science fiction." Sustain scanning the skies! Jason H. |

There's a review of that show at http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/24/ar...on/24heff.html TV REVIEW | 'NAKED SCIENCE: ALIEN CONTACT' Our Prospective Neighbors From the Galaxy Next Door - By Virginia Heffernan (Nov. 24,'04) The most interesting thing I saw there was regarding a subject that has come up frequently in this NG: "As Stephen Hawking, who thinks we should steer clear of aliens, says on tonight's program: "The history of advanced races meeting more primitive people on this planet is not very happy - and they were the same species. I think we should keep our heads low." Sounds rational to me, however, executing that concept does NOT seem possible within the current environment. Purposeful transmissions are allowed to be made to other star systems such as those conducted from Evpatoria, TV & radio, radar, nightside artificial light pollution, atmospheric pollution and megascale megalopolises expanding into the remaining forests may be detectible features that we cannot control. If recon probes pass through the solar system then it doesn't matter how quiet we are. Additionally, E.T. may already know that life (but perhaps not technology) is here because of possible bio-markers in the atmosphere. If E.T. reaches the conclusion that simple life can lead to star-cruising technology, then perhaps we are already under more careful surveillance. Could our becoming undetectable possibly garner more E.T. attention to keep better tabs on us? Would our stealth make others concerned? Would an alien SETI that is a million or a billion years more advanced have at it's command the ability to detect us down to stone-age technology? If it were a military imperative for their survival, could anyone possibly imagine the surveillance technology that would be used? and could we evade it? Ideally I'd say keep quiet and keep searching, but perhaps it is not possible to "keep our heads low" enough. Maintain exploration, Jason H. |
