Professor Paul Davies, a physicist at Arizona University will tell a meeting at the Royal Society that the best way of proving that extra-terrestrial life exists elsewhere in the universe is to use evidence from earth.

The meeting at the Royal Society, which will include representatives from Nasa, the European Space Agency and the UN Office for Outer space Affairs marks the 5th anniversary of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) programme. Lord Rees, President of the Royal Society will also lead one of the sessions.

Prof Davies said: We need to give up the notion that ET is sending us some sort of customised message and take a new approach.”

He suggested that the search could focus on deserts, volcanic vents, salt-saturated lakes and the dry valleys of Antarctica – places where ordinary life struggles to survive – to find “weird” microbes that belong to a “shadow biosphere”.

Felissa Wolfe-Simon, from the US Geological Survey, is currently looking at the possibility that arsenic, found in contaminated places such as the Mono Lake in California, might support forms of life in the same way as other life forms use phosphorous.

However, Professor Colin Pillinger, who led the Beagle 2 Mars landing mission remains sceptical. He said: “I prefer to deal in scientific fact – this is wildly science fiction. You’d be off your trolley to go searching for arsenic-based life.”

Prof Pillinger argues that Mars is the most likely place to find alien life.

The conference will also discuss how humans might respond to the discovery of extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Albert Harrison, the from University of California, said: “It is easy to imagine scenarios resulting in widespread psychological disintegration and social chaos. but historical prototypes, reactions to false alarms and survey results suggest that the predominant response to the discover of a microwave transmission from light years away is likely to be equanimity, perhaps even delight.”

Before the encounter, the witness was told by his next door neighbor that a man had been photographing their house, he thought nothing about it—until he saw a man drive up in a blue Jeep, take one photograph and drive away, When this happened three more times over a nine day period, the witness began to worry. The last time it happened he ran outside, only to see a red car with a government license plate racing away. Next he started getting weird telephone calls—beeping noises, silent lines…it worried him. One the above date his wife was awakened by a bright blue light in the bedroom, strangely she simply went back to sleep. That same night, he awoke in a bright white room. He remember that three small cream colored or pale white “things” were on his right and a human-looking female, who was trying to calm him, was on his left. Something was placed on his lower back and he felt terrible pain. When he awoke the room was lit up with blue light. He thought he was dying; he was sweating, his heart raced and all he could see was the image of those three beings in his mind. He suffered trauma for about 3½ months, he knows that what happened was more than a dream.
After this encounter he remembered that three years before in England, he had had another experience, during which two beings stood at the side of his bed. One pulled the sheets back and held his leg. He remembered feeling a floating sensation, then being in a dark room. At this point he just thought it was just a dream.

A student at the local Universidad Regional del Norte was driving home, when he noticed a strange hunched over figure that appeared to be covered with a blanket, standing on the side of the road. As he drove by the figure suddenly straightened itself up, taking a tremendous jump forward and spreading a huge pair of wings. The terrified witness accelerated as fast as he could from the area, but the bizarre winged figure followed his vehicle, flying parallel to the car on the passenger side. The winged humanoid followed the witness for about 15 minutes, until it disappeared from sight. The student furthered described the creature as having glowing red eyes, about 2 meters in height and with a pair of huge wings; it had a pair of “small kangaroo type arms” on the front which hung down in front of its body. As it flew alongside the witness vehicle it kept hitting the window on the passenger side. According to the student the face of the flying humanoid appeared to be covered in a “veil” behind which he could see the eyes and a very high protruding forehead. Around the same time a family driving along the same stretch of road reported seeing a similar flying figure. And possibly related, at three local ranches dead and mutilated lambs have been found.

“V” Our Reptilian Addiction -Is it all True Series #112

I remember when the original series came out. Wow, the scales under the human skin were truly a sight to see! Now we will do it again for a new TV watching generation and a show, which is starting to captivate audiences around the country and beyond.

Most of us in a strange way love reptiles, snakes, lizards, and big strange birds. In my 40+ years of abduction research, probably 20% of the abductees see reptilian-type beings but most of their encounters with the scaly ones are very unpleasant. They carry away an abductee to scare the hell out of them and the reptilians seem to enjoy it. As I have said in the past, the sucking of the emotional energy from humans assures their survival on this earth.

Of course we all have a small piece of reptile in all of us- that small base of our human brain– that reptilian nub. So I guess when we see them, our subconscious self thinks of mom and dad, well a very ancient mom and dad. Of course in the show they are portrayed as very good looking humans. But what is so creepy is knowing that there is a body covered in scales right under the human mask.

You would think with that distant ancestral relationship they would treat us humans more kindly-But no. These reptilians are of a totally different frequency that is not human, but they did give us our violence.

The plot of this “V” series developed much quicker then the original series. So we know the players and some of the plots, but always the question remains, who will win the battle for the earth? And now I hope you saw the part where the reptilians are going to save us from a pandemic with their special vaccine (do I need to say more?). Will this vaccine sedate us into suppression, to manipulate, conquer, and enslave us happy humans on our prison planet? People like David Icke say this is a real possibility. The reptilians or snake people as many native tribes call them, say they have been plotting our demise for thousands of years.

So it will be fun to watch this series unwind (again starting March 2010). You should pay attention because there is much truth in this fiction. Is “V” a warning for us humans to wake up and smell the lizard?

Sleep tight and safe until the day they need not disguise their appearance.

The witness, (involved in other encounters) woke up with a black shadowy being actually sitting on top of his left thigh with its hands holding down his arms as he tried to get out of bed in a half paralyzed state. It seemed to stare down the witness “like a drill sergeant” and seemed to have black vapory streams emitting from its body. As soon as the witness thought, “It can physically touch me.?” It looked at his thigh were it was sitting and the witness felt what seemed like a dozen metal wires jingling mixed with the feeling of vibration or an electric current. Previously before this event he recalled being dragged off his bed unable to speak or shout for help to his wife who he could see sound asleep on the other side of the mattress. He felt the carpet and wall brush against his head as he was pulled from his back off the bed and out towards the doorway. Terrified, he thought “Jesus” to himself before he was let go. He walked to the bed and fainted. The same night of March 1 his wife told him that she felt very scared and could not help but feeling that something was watching her in their apartment.
