Official science still refuses to admit that our planet is constantly visited by flying saucers, interacting with living beings and even periodically abducting people. However, scientists no longer deny that developed civilizations can live on other planets. According to experts, the Universe is theoretically infinite, and, according to simple logic, if life originated on one planet, then this probably happened on many others.

Employees of Cornell University in the American city of Ithaca decided to predict exactly when representatives of some extraterrestrial civilization will make contact with earthlings. After analyzing the available data, scientists came to the conclusion that this will happen in at least one and a half thousand years, that is, no earlier than 3516. Thus, only our distant descendants will be able to witness this epoch-making phenomenon. Unless, of course, the Americans are wrong in their forecast.

Why aren't the aliens making contact with us now? According to American experts, this may be explained by the so-called Fermi paradox, which consists in the fact that the Universe contains decillions celestial bodies, and for intelligent aliens our Earth is just one of these “grains of sand in the desert.” Perhaps distant space is teeming with highly developed life, but our planet looks like a wretched and backward place in the eyes of the higher mind, so the “little green men” don’t even look here.

“You won’t try to establish contact with ants,” explains Eugene Preston, one of the authors of the prediction. At the same time, the researcher also notes that higher intelligence, probably, without any hesitation or remorse, will be able to crush such “ants”, therefore, in the event of a possible armed conflict with aliens, relying on the mercy of the invaders hardly makes sense.

By the way, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus wrote about the mediocrity of the Earth, who argued that our planet is far from being the center of the Universe, but only a small speck of dust in myriads of cosmic bodies.

Let us recall that experts have been sending signals into space to representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations for eighty years. The speed of such radio waves is equal to the speed of light, which means that today the spherical region around the Earth in which aliens can “hear” us is eighty light-years in radius. According to scientists, there are more than eight and a half thousand stars and over three and a half thousand earth-like planets. However, there is still no answer. Either intelligent life forms did not receive the signal, or refused to answer us, or were not there at all.

According to American scientists, in one and a half millennia the radius of the space zone where a message from Earth can be found will be one thousand five hundred and eighty light years. Maybe by then the signal will finally reach some highly developed alien civilization, and we will receive the long-awaited answer from it.

Scientists' efforts resemble sandbox games

In response to such predictions by scientists about the timing of when aliens will come into contact with us, ufologists and global conspiracy researchers ironically note that the efforts of orthodox science in this direction (as in many others) are reminiscent of kids playing in a sandbox. While alien intelligence has been in contact with us for a long time, and even, most likely, gave birth to our civilization, pundits continue to play childish games imposed on the general mass of earthlings by the Illuminati with the aim of total control over the consciousness and behavior of people.

The question arises: are scientists so naive, pretending to be such “kids in the sandbox” or is this still a more adult game aimed at diverting the attention of earthlings from the increasing frequency of UFO flights (see the video at the end of the article about their June flights near the American International Airport in Denver, over the Mexican volcano of Colima and during a tornado near the German city of Stein), more and more open contacts with aliens, from the clearly impending catastrophe of the complete enslavement of the Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations and the complicity of the top terrestrial magnates in this?

Most likely, the second, progressive researchers conclude, it is not surprising that it is American “scientists” who are worried about aliens today, since the United States has been working hard for a long time in terms of establishing contacts with aliens. Apparently, today their secret mission is beginning to come apart at the seams, and therefore more and more new and more “plausible” explanations of what is happening in the world are required. After all, as psychologists say, for the average person there is nothing more plausible than an obvious lie presented in good packaging, that is, on behalf of scientists and certainly through the leading media, which the common man for some reason continues to trust more than his own mother...

Do you believe in extraterrestrial intelligence? What do you say to the fact that alien races may not only exist, but are also in contact with earthlings right now? Many things indicate that this assumption is plausible. And if you have ever read anything about this, then it is unlikely that it will seem strange and short-sighted to you. This article will reveal to you the details of this theory and introduce you to those alien species with which you can establish contacts right now - the universe is waiting.

Essassani

Yahel

Yahel are magnificent and graceful hybrid creatures. They are reported to emit pure solar energy and are the closest relatives to humans in the universe. Most likely, they will be the first race to communicate with humanity in the near future. They are about the same height as humans, have a good build, and also have an anime character-like appearance, many of them looking quite multi-ethnic. They are beautiful, gentle, intelligent, compassionate and attentive. They have highly developed technology and are believed to be there to help humanity progress and develop. This civilization also appeared in ancient times, and it is also much more advanced technologically. There is an assumption that ideas social networks were transmitted to humanity through their stream of consciousness.

Sirius hybrids

This species of “hyper sapiens” is incredibly developed, there is information that it has had incredibly frequent contact with people throughout history. It is believed that this is the parent race of humanity, it is she who created people from a genetic point of view. After all, many ancient prophecies and spiritual texts contain references to the fact that extraterrestrial intelligence took part in the creation of people. The creatures from Sirius exist approximately 300-500 years further into the future and are tens of thousands of years ahead of humanity in technological progress. They specialize in technology, architecture, sustainable energy and sacred geometry. It's also worth noting that the creatures depicted in the movie Avatar look very much like Sirius hybrids. They are slender, slightly taller than the average human, and also have well-developed muscles. They have a light blue skin tone, warm oval eyes and long, incredibly dexterous fingers.

Pleiadians

The Pleiadians are tall, round-faced, wide-eyed creatures, with soft but fairly distinct features. These are beautiful creatures that, if they have hair, are usually blond, and their eyes are always blue. Many people believe that before birth, people spend a long time in the Pleiades, undergoing special training - and it is there that they return after death. Pleiadian bodies function as graceful instruments that can receive psychic signals from throughout the universe. Therefore, if you focus on reaching out to the Pleiadians, you will have a high chance of success, as they are among the most responsive and most likely to be the closest alien beings in the universe. The Pleiadians also have high diplomacy scores - they are part of the Interstellar Alliance, support the creation and development of new races on other planets, and provide evolution and progress for all existing civilizations. This race is gentle and loving, so you will not have problems getting in touch with its representatives, they are always available and ready to communicate, they can receive a signal from you at any time and answer you.

Arcturians

The most ancient race in the entire galaxy Milky Way- these are the Arcturians, they are incredibly developed, they know a lot, have vast experience and are constantly involved in various innovations. It is known that it was the Arcturians who became the first race to develop in the Milky Way galaxy, which led to the emergence of other daughter races, including the human race. Arcturians can take the most various shapes, since their advanced consciousness allowed them to pass through the singularity and begin to exist in a new high-frequency reality inaccessible to others. Their height ranges from 120 to 150 centimeters, which is significantly lower than the average height of humans. But at the same time, their heads are much larger, as they contain a huge brain. But at the same time, their bodies are quite large and muscular. However, Arcturians continue to evolve and become less and less physical. These creatures have incredible intelligence, which is so high that such indicators are beyond human understanding. These are one of the ancestors of humanity, the connection with which people should always remember.

How to get in touch with aliens?

In order to increase the chances of establishing contact with an alien intelligence, it is recommended to set aside some time each day for meditation, and do it at approximately the same time of day. Clear the space around you, get comfortable, take a few deep breaths. Mentally send an invitation to the aliens into space, then calm down, begin meditation, remain silent - and listen. Perhaps it is worth asking a question and listening to what answers the aliens will give to it.

For hundreds, if not thousands, of years, people have been trying to get acquainted with aliens, but, alas, so far all our cosmic messages remain unanswered. And judging by the originality, not to say strangeness, of many of them, this is even good, since it is unknown what the aliens will think about humanity if they catch these signals. We present to your attention ten of the most original attempts to establish contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.

1. Crop circles

Today, the appearance of intricate geometric designs from grass lying in the fields is often attributed to the work of aliens, but initially it was believed that, on the contrary, in this way people would be able to come into contact with the “little green men”: for example, in 1820, the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, passionately interested in geodesy, he decided: in order for the aliens to notice our messages, they must be clearly visible from a bird's eye view, so he proposed cutting down a significant part of the Siberian taiga in the shape of a huge triangle and sowing it with rye.

Gauss also invented a special device that transmits light signals over long distances - the helioscope, the main function of which is geodetic measurements, but, in addition, the “father of mathematics” through reflected sun rays tried to “reach out” to distant planets.

Two decades later, the Austrian astronomer Joseph von Littrow, who believed that there was life on the Moon, proposed digging a giant 30-kilometer circular trench in the Sahara Desert, filling it with kerosene and setting it on fire at night so that the “lunatics” would notice us. Both scientists - Gauss and Littrow - believed that geometric figures- an ideal message for aliens, since the entire Universe is subject to mathematical laws.

2. Concentrated light

Having once seen faded lights on the surface of Mars and Venus (probably some kind of meteorological phenomenon), the French inventor and poet Charles Cros decided that this was nothing more than the light of alien cities. Therefore, in 1867, Cro published a “Review of Possible Connections with the Planets,” and two years later, in 1869, he proposed using a parabolic mirror to “collect” electric light and direct it towards Mars and Venus. At the same time, in his opinion, the rays should blink (a kind of light Morse code) so that the aliens understand that this is a coded message, and not just the shine of some star.

Cro doubted that small mirrors would cope with such a complex task, so he turned to the French government with a request to install a huge parabolic reflector somewhere in the desert. Unfortunately, the inventor's petition was rejected, and his poetic dream of reuniting with extraterrestrial intelligence never came true.

3. “Pioneers” records

In the early 1970s, NASA launched two unmanned spaceship- “Pioneer-10” and “Pioneer-11” - with the aim of studying Jupiter and Saturn, respectively. In addition to the complex technical “stuffing,” unusual plates made of anodized aluminum were attached to the sides of the ships. For what? According to famous astronomers Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, they would help aliens understand where the Pioneers came from and why. On the plates attached to the hull of the ship, a man, a woman, the Solar System were schematically depicted, indicating the distance from the main luminary to the Earth, and hydrogen atoms.

Unfortunately, in 2003, NASA lost contact with Pioneer 10, and in 2005 with Pioneer 11, and as a result, we never received an answer to the question of whether aliens can understand human drawings . Skeptics are still arguing about what this action was - an important scientific research or a waste of money?

4. Arecibo's Message

Approximately simultaneously with the launch of the Pioneers, astronomers actively discussed the possibility of establishing contact with aliens through radio signals, because they are less susceptible to influence than light. cosmic dust and have a longer wavelength. Therefore, the same Drake and Sagan came up with a message of 1,679 digits, encrypting the DNA formula, the atomic numbers of oxygen, hydrogen and other elements, as well as numbers from one to ten in the binary system.

On November 16, 1974, scientists transmitted a 169-second radio signal from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico in the direction of the globular star cluster M13, located at a distance of 25 thousand light years from Earth, and everything would be fine, but even if the aliens received our message , we will have to wait at least 40 thousand years for an answer.

5. Voyager Golden Record

In 1977, the American space agency launched two more devices to explore the distant planets of the solar system - Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, this time equipping them with a gold record recording the sounds of nature, various languages, musical compositions, as well as images telling about the life of earthlings. According to the idea of ​​the indefatigable Carl Sagan, the installation diagram of the needle for playing the message, the method of converting video signals into images and the playback speed were engraved on the aluminum case of the record.

Currently, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are located at the edge of the Solar System and are the most distant artificial objects from our planet. Surprisingly, they are still sending signals to Earth, it’s just a pity that so far none of them have been response messages from aliens.

6. “Vaginal Poetics”

Although many considered the images of men and women on the Pioneer records to be too explicit, artist Joe Davis believed that people drawn without genitals could not “tell” aliens about Homo Sapiens and their method of reproduction, so in 1986 he decided to write a letter to aliens consisting of the sounds of vaginal contractions.

It is not clear how, but Davis persuaded several ballerinas to allow him to record the “poetics” of their vaginas, for which the artist invented a special device with a sensitive pressure sensor. Then, renting in Massachusetts Institute of Technology Milestone Hill radar, he sent his 20-minute message into space, but soon the US Air Force learned about this strange experiment and banned it. However, Davis' message turned out to be longer than the radio signal sent from Arecibo, and therefore it had already reached two distant stars- Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti.

7. “Cosmic Call” and children's radio messages

Russian physicist and asteroid radar specialist Alexander Leonidovich Zaitsev has already sent at least five interstellar radio messages, including multi-page ones.

The first “cosmic call” was sent by him in 1999 as part of the state project “Contact Team” and was addressed to four stars at once - Zaitsev’s multi-page interstellar radio message contained what ufologists call the Rosetta Stone, that is, a bitmap with an encyclopedia of human knowledge about the environment world. The second “space call” was launched in 2003, its content is almost identical to the first, but it contains more data about the people themselves. Both radio messages were sent using a planetary radar in Evpatoria (Ukraine).

But Zaitsev did not stop there, and in 2001, the scientist and his team sent another radio message into space, for which he attracted schoolchildren from several cities - Moscow, Kaluga, Voronezh and Zheleznogorsk. The content of this message was much simpler - no mathematics or other complex things, but pure art: the teenagers helped the physicist select music for the aliens, and he, in turn, sent a radio wave towards the Big Dipper and five other stars with solar systems, similar to ours. And if we are not alone in the Universe, then already in 2047 the “little green men” will be able to enjoy the immortal works of Beethoven, Vivaldi and Gershwin.

8. Doritos ad

In 2008, the EISCAT research institute broadcast an advertisement for Doritos chips into space for six hours. It’s funny that such a large-scale action was aimed at attracting the attention not so much of aliens as of earthlings, since the European Scientific Association had its funding sharply cut, and it was in dire need of funds.

The advertisement was broadcast using radar in the form of MPEG code; its target audience was the possible inhabitants of a dwarf galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major, located at a distance of only 42 light years from Earth. It turned out that the Doritos commercial is not the only one in the universe - another advertisement also ends up in interstellar space, but its signals are “drowning” in cosmic noise. “Doritos” was broadcast at an ultra-high frequency of 500 MHz, so it could get on the blue screens of the “little green men”, if they exist.

9. Latest photos

Since the end of the world promised at the end of last year never came, the title of this cosmic message is “ Latest photos" - sounds somehow wrong. However, a capsule with images of the Earth and its inhabitants is roaming somewhere in the vastness of the Universe to tell aliens about our existence if life on our planet ever ends.

The author of this project is artist Trevor Paglen, who successfully took advantage of the general excitement around the apocalypse to present his photographs to the world. But be that as it may, Paglen’s works are amazing - they represent our whole life as it is: the photographer spent five years consulting with leading scientists and philosophers of our time to make the images as realistic as possible, and then recorded them on an ultra-archival disk and sent into space.

10. Telepathy

Most attempts to establish contact with extraterrestrial civilizations involve the use of advanced technologies, however, there are people who claim that they do not need any equipment to communicate with aliens.

Among them is Dr. Steven Greer, famous for the documentary about aliens “Sirius”: several times a year he recruits groups of volunteers, and then takes them to secluded corners for meditation sessions with alien beings. According to Greer, these “expeditions to establish contact” are a great success - they bring people to a higher level of consciousness, thanks to which they can not only talk with aliens, but also remember their past lives. We can only hope that Greer and his followers will not one day scare away aliens who really want to make contact with us.

Humanity has not yet encountered a single form of life outside our planet. If we ignore tales of “Area 51” and “eyewitness encounters with UFOs and their pilots,” we still have not received any extraterrestrial signals that even remotely resemble an attempt by some intelligent civilization to establish interstellar or intergalactic communication with us. In general, no Ewoks and E.T.

Considering the amazing level of technological development we have achieved over the past 100 years, it would be safe to assume that any other highly advanced civilization that mastered space flight and appeared even several hundred years earlier than ours would now have even more advanced technologies.

Humanity has come up with many ways to transmit messages through space. Some are already in use; the time for others will come. If one day super-advanced aliens want to communicate with us, then they will have a real choice.

This is what first comes to people's minds when they talk about communication with aliens. Receiving and sending messages using this method has been the subject of many science fiction books and films such as Contact and Independence Day. After all, we've been working with radio waves for almost a hundred years now and have achieved pretty good levels of efficiency in using them. Many serious scientists and organizations such as SETI still use radio waves as the main tool for searching for extraterrestrial civilizations.

Using the same radio waves, the famous “WOW!” signal was discovered in the late 70s. - an unexpected and sharp emission of radiation from a neighboring star cluster, which for many years no one could really explain. Before . Although, according to the latest information, some astronomers still doubt that the real source of this signal has been identified.

Be that as it may, the radio detection method has several critical disadvantages. And the first of them is that the further you are from the source of radio waves, the weaker they are. In this case, the radio waves we sent into space over the last hundred years would actually dissipate in just a few light years, becoming completely elusive.

A solution to this problem may be to use larger transmitting dishes, but in this case we will have to face many complex engineering problems. One of them is that it will require the construction of a truly gigantic plate, up to the size of the Earth itself. Theoretically, some super-developed space civilization could already solve this problem by high level development of its technologies, but for some reason I want to believe that it was able to come to a more effective and less resource-intensive method from the list below.

Lasers

Where radio waves fail and become useless, lasers can become more effective way for communication over long space distances. Their advantage is integrity and density. A laser message sent from a galaxy far, far away will still be clearly visible upon arrival.

In addition, the directionality of laser messages is beneficial. Even a single target can be selected as the target for message delivery, thereby increasing the effectiveness of such a message. In this regard, lasers are noticeably superior to radio waves. Sufficiently advanced civilizations could send messages using laser transmission to other systems hundreds of light years away. And one of these messages could be caught here on Earth.

However, there is a question: what frequency should the laser signal be used for transmission?

If civilization turns out to be sufficiently developed, then it could use gamma rays for this. This type of radiation can be transmitted over truly gigantic distances. Of course, this will require enormous energy expenditure, but if we assume that a developed civilization will not experience a shortage of these same resources, then problems should not arise.

For us, a potentially more realistic option under current conditions is the use of infrared or microwave lasers. If only simply because they require less energy. And, by the way, we are slowly beginning to adapt this method of transmitting messages.

star Light

You may have heard of the Kepler telescope, NASA's space observatory that searches for exoplanets by observing changes in stellar brightness as a planet transits a star.

Now let’s imagine that some advanced space civilization has found a way to place into the orbit of its star an artificially created giant object of a rectangular or triangular shape, and maybe even some kind of 1258-gon (an object with 1258 sides). In this case, we just need to figure out how this object will be displayed in the telescope data, which, in principle, will be doable in practice, although it will have to tinker.

What's even more interesting is that an extraterrestrial civilization doesn't even have to be super-advanced to have this capability. Even we, in a couple of hundred years, will be capable of such an adventure. All you need to do is make the object very thin, deliver it into space and assemble it in orbit.

Dyson sphere

The method will be very similar to the previous one, with the only exception that only a truly technologically advanced civilization will be capable of this. And the main goal will not be explained by a simple desire to contact us. Rather, the main task here will be to collect the energy that the star produces.

The idea is this: why put ordinary pieces of iron into orbit when you can put billions of solar panels there to collect stellar energy? It sounds crazy, we understand. But given our current technological level, humanity will be able to achieve this level of technology in just a few hundred, or in a less optimistic case, a thousand years.

With the ability to manually alter starlight, an advanced civilization could send us intelligent-looking messages. And it would be much easier for us to catch and understand such messages than to sit and decipher the effects caused by a certain object of complex geometric shape located in orbit, as in the point above.

The collected energy from the star could also be used to power other communications equipment and technologies described in this article. Any civilization that is capable of creating such structures will automatically be higher than us in development. And if we somehow manage to be the first to detect such activity, then sending a response to such a message would not be the best idea for us.

Unusual phenomena

If we imagine that somewhere out there there is a civilization that is several million years ahead of us in technological development, then why not also imagine that such a civilization will be able to manipulate the movement of space objects within at least its own galaxy?

Let's say that to attract our attention, it could control the behavior of a neighboring star or other objects. Let's say, first accelerate objects to almost light speed, and then slow them down. Do this over and over again. Eventually, someone will notice.

Or you can very quickly change the properties of a star, such as its brightness, and thus send encrypted messages to, say, prime numbers or digits of Pi. Of course, such possibilities will definitely require colossal energy expenditures, and the technologies themselves that make it possible to do this can now only be imagined only in science fiction.

Nevertheless, astronomers on Earth continue to peer into the depths of space every night in the hope of finding something extraordinary that could definitely attract our attention. The features described above would certainly seem god-like to us.

Gravitational waves

More recently, humanity has confirmed the existence of gravitational waves (rapid changes in the curvature of space-time). In 2015, scientists from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) conducted an experiment and announced the first-ever actual observation of space-time ripples, which were predicted by Einstein.

A highly developed civilization, with the help of neutron stars and black holes (the main sources of gravitational waves), could send us strange, but clearly intelligent signals. Tweak a little with the frequency and amplitude of these waves - and with the help of them you can transmit encoded information.

All this, of course, will require technological superiority in development. But the good news is that even our current sensors can detect missiles launched from billions of light years away. Therefore, any civilization that decides to use them as a means of transmitting messages will immediately “appear on our radar.”

In fact, these distortions of space-time are so small that we are talking about distances smaller than the diameter of a proton. But if the aliens really want to get our attention, they could increase the scale of these waves so that we can get a clearer message from them. Although the option in which they could use these waves in such a way that they would be able to kill all living things is also possible in theory.

Bombardment with highly charged particles

The Earth is exposed to a colossal amount of radiation every day. But if aliens know a way to change its volume even more, then most likely, with the help of this radiation they can send signals that we can detect. All that is needed is to send an increased volume of highly charged particles by just a couple of percent of the total, and our scientists will definitely notice this. And the change in the number of particles itself can be used as an encoding for messages.

Of course, you can come up with a more environmentally friendly way. But who among highly developed civilizations will care about some kind of safety of several billion upright walking monkeys?

In general, this method of communication is still unknown to our science. In addition, it is not known how even more or less targeted messages can be transmitted using this method. In fact, from our point of view, this method does not seem to be the most suitable or efficient for interstellar communication. But if aliens have already mastered it, then why not?

Destroying something big in space

If civilization turns out to be sufficiently technologically advanced, then this is indeed possible. Destroying large objects in ways that will definitely get our attention, and then sending a message using other methods, will definitely not escape our eyes and ears. For example, aliens can launch a huge swarm of nanorobots that disintegrate large objects and turn them into elementary particles, or use black holes as a kind of intergalactic eraser, erasing everything in its path from reality. Fun, right?

It would be more reasonable, of course, to change the rate of decay of some cosmic object such as a red dwarf (a star capable of burning for trillions of years), quickly “extinguishing” it. Our scientists have never seen the death of a red dwarf star. Probably because the Universe itself exists less than potentially equal life cycle such stars. We would be surprised!

wormholes

We don't actually know whether such objects are actually physically possible. But if it turns out that wormholes are not only our hypotheses, but also a completely real reality, then we still don’t know how (natural or artificial) they can be created.

But this is where the fun begins. Perhaps the aliens have already found a way to place a wormhole near us in the manner of Interstellar and use it as a kind of portal for transmitting both physical objects and radio messages.

Maybe someday it will open near us mole Hole, and a whole fleet of ships will appear from it, wanting to make first contact. Or those who want to harvest...

Changing the laws of physics

When we look into space, we think that the laws of physics apply to the entire Universe, they are constant and never change. It seems to us that everything is really like this, but what if we are wrong?

What if incredibly technologically advanced aliens found a way to manipulate physics in a way that made the methods described above much easier to use?

When you are subject to the laws of physics, you are able to control everything. If our tiny, albeit developed monkey brains are not yet able to understand many things that are happening even in those parts of the Universe that our eyes have reached, then what can we say about technologies that can not only ignore, but actually change the laws of physics for themselves?

Just imagine that somewhere there may be technologies that can not only destroy large objects, but literally take them beyond the brink of existence. And instead of simply destroying us in a fiery hyena, these technologies can deprive us of the possibility of existence as such.
