PANSPERMIA: SPREADING LIFE THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE?
Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute writes, "The conventional wisdom is that
Earthly life began on Earth." A few decades ago, many scientists believed
(as did Charles Darwin) that terrestrial life first appeared in "some warm
little pond." Today's astrobiologists are less fond of ponds, and more
likely to suggest that biology began in the hot, sulfurous thicket of a
deep-sea vent. But there is a controversial alternative to this life from
hell scenario. It's life from heaven. Or if not from heaven, at least from
the stars. About 25 years ago, two British astronomers, Fred Hoyle and
Chandra Wickramsinghe, proposed that comets might be the Johnny Appleseeds
of life, carrying vital spores from star system to star system, an idea
that is known today as panspermia. If the tail of such a life-loaded comet
were to brush the Earth, it might pass some of its frozen microorganisms
into the atmosphere where they could descend to our planet's surface. The
two astronomers suggested panspermia could spread disease. Now you might
wonder whether life from space, as intriguing as the idea might be, solves
the mystery of how biology got started in the first place. Or does this
theory merely push the problem of life's origin into someone else's lap?
Well, of course, to some extent it only accomplishes the latter. But there
is an appealing aspect to panspermia: it allows life to be widespread, even
if the genesis of life is a difficult and rare event.
After all, humans cover the planet, even though Homo sapiens got his start
in only one locale (Africa, presumably.) Life might blanket the Galaxy even
if it only sprung up on a small number of worlds. Jayant Narlikar, of the
Inner-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune, India,
claims to have data in support of panspermia. Narlikar recently flew an
experiment in a high-altitude balloon. On board was a cryogenic sampler
consisting of 16 cylinders that were pumped out and decontaminated before
launch. As the balloon climbed into the Indian sky, puffs of air were
sucked in. One by one, the cylinders were automatically filled with samples
from various altitudes, ranging from 25 to 41 km. Once the payload returned
to Earth, it was examined in biology labs in Cardiff and Sheffield,
England. To their amazement, the researchers found evidence for live cells
in the samples from 41 km. Even more interesting, these "bacteria"
recovered at high altitude were non-culturable and could not be grown in
laboratory Petri dishes. According to Narlikar, this was important in
ruling out laboratory contamination of the samples -- the cells found were
clearly not a common lab bacterium. Narlikar emphasizes that this is the
first attempt to demonstrate that biological systems exist at such heights.
But he admits that he still doesn't know if the biology he's found comes
from above or below. After all, perhaps all he's found are high-flying,
single-celled earthlings. But the Indian researcher seems confident that
they've come from above, because atmospheric scientists have told him that
even during the strongest volcanic eruptions, ash is ejected to heights no
more than 32 km. So the fact that he's found something at 41 km, and
during a period when there were no volcanic eruptions, speaks to the real
possibility of an extraterrestrial origin. There is the possibility that a
disease like SARS may have come from space? "We sent a letter to Lancet,
the medical journal," Narlikar says, "suggesting that these things are
percolating from atmospheric heights down to Earth. Clearly, they would
reach the tallest peaks first (the Himalayas - and thanks to the wind -
into China.) So we suggested that this might be the origin of the SARS
virus." Thanks to the SETI Institute
STRANGE FORTUNE COOKIE SPOTS ON MARS
There is no place like Mars for fueling speculation about geologic features
that must have been created by intelligent beings. Now scientists bring us
the Fortune Cookie photo. It's doubtful this newly released image will rise
to the level of controversy that surrounds features like
<A HREF="http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mars_face_020725.html">The
Face</A>
or <A

Ina City</A>.
"Some are shaped like fortune cookies," said scientists at Malin Space
Science Systems. The Mars Global Surveyor probably imaged wind blown hills
in this north polar region but they could be something else?

NEW YORK - FORMATION OF MOVING LIGHTS
MANHATTAN -- The witness reports, "My friend and I saw a strange black
object rise over the west side of Manhattan on at 9:19 PM, on July 17,
2003." The object proceeded to float eastward over the East River, like "a
string of illuminated pearls" trailing this black balloon-esque object. The
strings were stationary and just trailing the object. Thanks to Peter
Davenport
QUEENS - The witness reports, "My friends and I were sitting outside
looking into the sky on July 19, 2003, at 9:36 PM when we saw a light
moving really fast." At first I thought it was a shooting star, but than
all of a sudden it went out like someone flipped a switch and turned it
off. The object kept fading in and out, until it finally disappeared. About
two minutes later, we saw a real brute moving pretty fast. My friend put up
his telescope and all we saw was a light that we felt wasn't a plane.
Finally at about 9:48 PM, it zoomed off traveling east. Thanks to Peter
Davenport <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
NEW JERSEY - STRANGE UPRIGHT CYLINDER OVER MANHATTAN
JERSEY CITY -- Two witnesses were on the roof at 6:30 PM, watching the
Manhattan skyline on July 19, 2003, when they noticed an upright
cylindrical object appear from the Southwest tip of Manhattan. It ascended
slowly and without sound, maintaining constant ascent and flight path
towards the center of Manhattan. It changed shape and color several times
before it disappeared behind the clouds. The object had a whitish/gray
matte finish with a trace of red color, perhaps due to the setting sun. Its
redness seemed to intensify as it climbed higher. The object was relatively
big, half a thumbnail size at arm's length and flew at between 10,000 to
35,000 feet. The cylinder maintained its amazing upright posture throughout
its flight and had no light emissions.

PENNSYLVANIA - TUBE CHANGES INTO A SAUCER
LEOLA - On July 17, 2003, the boys were playing lacrosse outside when one
looked up to catch the ball and noticed a strange flying object in the sky.
He says, "I pointed toward the object and my friend also saw it." At 5:15
PM, we thought it looked like a flying tube, but then it turned towards us
looking like a disk or saucer high above us. From what we could see it was
silver and also reflected the sun back towards us. After turning back and
forth a few times it kept flying away from us and vanished. Thanks to Peter
Davenport <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
WASHINGTON, DC - CHEVRON SHAPED CRAFT GLIDES OVER CAPITAL
RESTRICTED AIRSPACE -- On July 22, 2003, the witness states, "I turned off
the lights in my apartment about 9:30 PM, on my way to bed, and was
startled to see out my window, what looked at first to be a large passenger
jet passing low over the apartment building." I live in the middle of
Washington, DC, and this is restricted airspace so passenger jets never fly
over this building. "I raced to the window and pulled out the screen, and
saw what looked like a giant boomerang, with several flashing lights around
its edge, flying low, slow, and silently toward the west." When it reached
the Potomac River, it turned south and continued until it was out of sight.

NORTH CAROLINA - MANEUVERING REDDISH LIGHT
OUTER BANKS -- The family was staying in a rented beach house and on July
28, 2003, about 10 PM, they noticed a very bright object in the dark sky
above the Atlantic Ocean. The witness states, "It was about a 45 degrees
above the ocean and had a reddish color, as it moved slowly at first to my
right, the object then moved back to its previous spot and from there it
traveled up at a 75 degree angle and finally stopped about 100 feet from
its previous location." I continually watched this object for about two
hours and at first I hesitated to call this object a UFO because, after
all, it could easily have been a plane or a helicopter, but neither of
these explanations seem plausible because the object was moving at speeds,
either far too fast or far too slow for any commercial helicopter or plane.
The object also moved at angles dissimilar to planes, jets, and
helicopters. My uncle and two brothers also saw this UFO and concurred that
what I was watching seemed to be an object that met absolutely no criteria
for any air borne objects known to the public (that does not include
military). So I am forced to believe that what I saw was either a military
plane or a UFO, the former seems far more likely.
The second sighting occurred while my uncle and younger brother were
walking on the beach August 2 at around 10 PM. They watched an object
similar to the one we had seen on the 28th. Apparently the object began to
sway backwards and forwards as if it were searching for something. They
watched it move off to their right at a very high rate of speed and then
return to the previous spot at a lesser speed. This time the object sped
off at an incredibly high rate of speed and disappeared into the nighttime
sky. There were no clouds on either night. I am 17 years old and live in
Virginia. Anyone who would like to discuss the event in further detail or
who would like to relate a story similar to mine please feel free to email
me at vpenv88@hotmail.com. Thanks to spymaninvasion@yahoo.com.
Editor's Note. Mars was rising in the ESE evening sky and remains highly
visible in the southern sky all night and appears reddish. However, it
does not maneuver.
OHIO - DAYLIGHT DISC PHOTOGRAPHED
FOSTORIA - George Ritter writes, "I photographed a dark disc in the gray
overcast sky at about 4 PM on Saturday, August 2, 2003. It was moving at
high speed just above the trees. It appears to be about 25 feet in
diameter. Thanks to George Ritter.

MICHIGAN - CROP CIRCLES
HOWELL -- Two crop circles were discovered on July 28, 2003, in an 80-acre
wheat field southwest of the city. The first one was 50 feet in diameter
with a short protrusion on both the east and the west side. The second
circle was only four feet in diameter. The wheat was laid down in
counterclockwise fashion. The farmer who discovered them says that they
must have been generated sometime between July 10 to 24th. He likened it to
the film Signs with Mel Gibson. In his opinion, it was not the work of
pranksters, because there were no footprints in the field, and he was
amazed at the precision of the circular patterns ruling out natural weather
phenomena. Thanks to Doug Parrish dkparrish@comcast.net
ILLINOIS - SMALL HOVERING OBJECT OVER THE EASTERN SKY OF CHICAGO
BATAVIA - The witness was looking at a plane in the eastern sky on July 19,
2003, when he saw a small silver object that was moving slowly across the
sky at 4 PM. He told his wife, sister, and Nanna to look. The object
stopped and hovered in the same place for at least 15 minutes. It was very
small, but it definitely was not a plane or balloon because it didn't move.
We know it wasn't a helicopter. The witness took several digital pictures,
but I couldn't see if he was getting a good shot even with 8 x optical
lens. Thanks to Peter Davenport <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
LOUISIANA - LARGE FLYING TRIANGLE
SHREVEPORT - The witness was driving home at 9:30 PM, after picking up a
pizza on July 21, 2003. He states, "While going down the road I thought I
saw some helicopters, but they looked strange because their lights were so
dim." After I looked a little more closely I realized it was just one large
flying triangle with rounded edges and had really dim lights going around
it. There were 10 to 15 steady lights that were not blinking or changing.
The craft appeared to be pretty large and far away and flew laterally very
easily. Thanks to Peter Davenport <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
KANSAS - BRILLIANT DAYLIGHT FLYING SAUCER
ELSMORE - The witness was driving along the highway between the city of
Moran and Elsmore on July 21, 2003, when an object in the shape of a flying
saucer appeared to lift off from a rural farm and moved across a field at
2:06 PM. The object was a pure and brilliant white with no visible lights
and was flying very low and very slow. It was 20 feet off the ground and
flying west then it made a sharp turn north with no sound. Then it ascended
slowly, accelerated quickly, and then disappeared. Thanks to Peter
Davenport <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
IDAHO - LOW FLYING GREEN ORBS
TWIN FALLS - The witness was riding his motorcycle east on July 18, 2003,
at 10 PM, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a flashing green light.
He states, "I turned to my right and saw two or three green flashing orbs
about a half-mile away." They were moving away from me and I didn't think
too much about it since I thought the local airport had runway approach
lights. A few minutes later, I was returning on the same road and I saw
the lights again. This time they were on the other side of the road and
coming towards me. They passed to the right about 150 yards away and were
flying 25 feet above the ground. They were green in color and flashing like
a strobe about one flash every two seconds. They looked to be traveling at
about 75 to 100 mph. I stopped to get some gas and one stopped about a half
mile away, hovering and flashing. After I filled up, I drove toward it, and
it started moving again. It was gone by the time I got to its former
location. I called the 911 Center to inquire if anyone else had reported
seeing these things. The dispatcher told me no one had called that night,
but about a week earlier a policeman reported seeing similar lights. Thanks

CALIFORNIA - AMBER LIGHT MANEUVERS
SAN DIEGO -- Jan Kregers writes, "With the monsoon flow bending in our
direction this summer, I have had good viewing on a few nights both last
week and this week." I am continuing to see oddly moving star-like lights,
that I was also observing last summer. They range in color from a very
bright almost blue-white through amber to a cigarette-ember orangey-red. I
watch on clear nights from about 8:30 to 11 PM. On July 22, 2003, about
halfway through my viewing session, I spotted an amber-colored dot flying
in from the west. It was to the north, and as it drew level with me, I
thought, 'Hmm, this one is really bright! I wonder if it's a satellite,
reflecting towards me? Just as I had this thought, the dot made a sudden
90-degree turn, and started heading away from me to the north. What was
odd about the turn was that the dot was moving relatively slowly before and
immediately after the turn, and the turn itself was a sudden 'hiccup' of
movement. I was thinking, 'Well, this is no satellite judging by what it
just did. Then the dot made another abrupt 45-degree angle to the right and
kept heading away from me to the northeast. The second turn had the same
'skippy' quality to it as the first one: at first it was going north and
then suddenly it just jumped and was going northeast at the same leisurely
pace. It was a very odd thing to watch. It was moving fairly slowly and I
kept it in sight for four minutes. First, I watched it by eye and then
with binoculars until I finally lost it in the city light-haze. Even
though it was around 9:45 PM, I never saw the dot go into Earth shadow as
it traveled northeast. It stayed bright until I lost it in the haze and
distance. Regards, Jan Kregers, CA
OREGON - DAYLIGHT SPHERE, "TAKES OFF" AFTER AN HOUR
PORTLAND -- On Thursday, July 17, 2003, myself and three coworkers (all
engineers) were golfing when Chris spotted a strange craft. We looked up
into a clear blue sky at 3:15 PM, to see a stationary object at about a 55ø
angle. The object gave off a "silvery" reflective light that looked like it
was undulating or rotating in an irregular fashion because of the
variations in light emissions. As we watched it became apparent to us,
that it was not a small helium balloon and was hovering over us. This thing
was very high since planes coming from PDX appeared to be flying way below
it, and it wasn't moving. I watched the object in between golf shots as we
played. About an hour and fifteen minutes later as we neared the last hole,
Chris again brought the object to our attention. It appeared to be in the
same area of the sky, but was even smaller (or higher) than before. I took
my eyes off of it for a second, when Chris said, "He saw it move to the
right about eight inches at arm's length and was now quickly climbing
away." This thing was very puzzling. Many other people had to observe this
object, as it was CLEARLY visible for at least an hour and fifteen minutes.

WASHINGTON - A SPHERE HITS A PLANE BUT KEEPS TRAVELING
DUPONT - The witness went to bed around 2 AM, on July 18, 2003, when he
noticed three hanging orange lights spaced at intervals, emitting a
saucer-shaped glow. They slowly changed into a triangle shaped pattern as
he watched for thirty minutes. The lights were quite high in the sky so he
ran out back to get a better view. He says, "When I opened the back door,
my Mom heard the noise and came out to view the lights and was amazed as
well. She felt it was something to do with Ft. Lewis that is a mile from
our house. The shape changed, or rather the angle changed as I went out
back to get a better look. From then on, it just looked like a blob of
three vaguely orange lights in a triangle pattern. Within 15 minutes, it
had moved to my right and the orangeness emitted a glow. Together, the
three orange lights formed a saucer shaped halo in the sky. It was
completely unique and the aura caught my attention. Thanks to Peter
Davenport
PORT ANGELES -- On July 21, 2003, the first plane, possibly an F-16
fighter, came from the south and passed overhead at 9:10 PM, and turned
east towards Seattle. The witness began filming because the fighter was
making a pink contrail in the sunset. He then videotaped a second aircraft,
heading north, crossing the Straights into Canada. The witness states, "As
I watched through my viewfinder, I saw a round unidentified object fly from
the east to the west towards a second jet plane, and appeared to hit it.
Just before the round object hit the belly of the jet plane the lights on
both wings and the tail flashed on together. The round object went under
the facing wing and out the back. He says, "What looks like spray can be
seen on the videotape, and the round object can again be seen leaving the
tail of the aircraft and continuing west."

CANADA - UFO's HELP TOURISM
TERRACE STANDARD NEWS -- Jennifer Lang reports, Terrace's reputation as
British Columbia's UFO capital is creating a new kind of tourism boom in
the region. Curious travelers from across North America are inquiring
about the tourism facilities in communities across Highway 16, says a UFO
researcher based in Houston, B.C. "You would be surprised just how many
emails I get requesting information for our area", says Brian Vike, editor
of Canadian Communicator, a magazine specializing in the paranormal, and
director of HBCC-UFO Research. Earlier this year, Terrace cracked the Top
Ten in a national UFO survey, earning third place, just ahead of Houston,
where Vike operates a toll-free UFO hotline, so he can collect and
investigate eyewitness reports. "Terrace recorded the third highest number
of UFO sightings in the country last year, bringing national and
international attention to the region," Vike says. The resulting publicity
means the Northwest is rapidly emerging as one of the best places to see
UFOs in Canada. Savvy tourists know they're more likely to see a flying
saucer than the elusive Kermode bear, the white form of a black bear that
is the city's official symbol. Vike says he's often contacted by UFO buffs
and the just plain curious who want to know about the region's tourist
attractions and accommodations. snip

TERRACE, BC - Brian Vike reports, "The gentleman was sitting outside on his
porch at 11:30 PM, on July 27, 2003, and ten degrees above the treeline he
spotted a great big bright white light moving very slowly." He said the
light was at least three times brighter than the planet Venus and flew in a
northerly direction for three seconds when the light just faded out.
TERRACE -- A witness called to tell Brian, "My wife and I were watching
vehicle traffic entering the town on July 24, 2003, from our mountain home
when we saw a large glowing/oblong shaped object moving slowly along
Highway 16." "It was heading north at 11:45 PM, near the Skeena River but
it was flying way too low for any plane to fly at night," he said.
Eventually the object made a sudden move, or jerked across the highway and
came to a stop. It would stop for a split second, then start moving again.
As it moved ahead it would slide back just a bit, and then travel ahead. It
was sitting in a stationary position, then gained a little altitude and
shot off towards the west at an incredible rate of speed. Last year, his
grown children and he watched as a huge glowing/golden colored "thing" flew
over Terrace fairly quickly. Thanks to Brian Vike, Director HBCC UFO

ARGENTINA - CATTLE MUTILATIONS CONTINUE
RIO NEGRO ON LINE -- The cattle mutilations caper, which was brought to a
close last year when officials explained that the cattle were attacked --
after dying -- by a strange red mouse, continues to be a source of
bewilderment in Valle Medio as mutilated animals continue to appear. On
July 24, 2003, a veterinarian and a farmhand from a local Sociedad Rural
ranch found a cow -- showing incisions similar to the ones seen last year.
The animal had clear signs of mutilation: it was missing an eye, its udders
and its reproductive organs. These had been removed with surgical precision
and there were no tracks near the animal. "As a whole, whenever an animal
dies a natural death there is much kicking, or rigor mortis sets in shortly
afterward, but there is nothing like that here," stated an astonished
Enrique Sanchez of the Sociedad Rural. Veterinarian Carlos Montobbio
pointed out that "the animal was found in the El Gualeguay ranch belonging
to Arsenio Ferrarino, a rural cattleman with years of experience who had
never seen anything like it." Thanks to Scott Corrales, Institute of
Hispanic Ufology for the Translation (C) 2003
UK/ENGLAND - ROYAL AIR FORCE INTERCEPTORS CHASE UFO
RAF BAWDSEY -- John Cotton writes, "I was a National Service Fighter
Plotter stationed at RAF Bawdsey, a GCI site, and one night in late 1954,
we were in the middle of an exercise when over the intercom came the radar
sighting of an unidentified flying object." At the time I was working in
the RT recording area. As soon as the Meteor NF11s interceptors we were
controlling were sent to investigate, I started recording the intercept.
This is the normal procedure. As the interceptors approached and got visual
contact with the target they reported that it was a stationary object
(confirmed by radar) and "saucer like" in shape. On being ordered to
approach closer the target shot off at high speed and then hovered again.
The second time the fighters neared, the target went straight up at very
high speed until they disappeared off the Type 13 height RADAR. I like many
others in the "hole", had gone into a Control Cabin that wasn't in use to
see this phenomena. The Chief Controller that night (either Flt Lt Jack
Smith or Flt Lt Clifford) asked to hear the recording of the interception,
but for the first time we could remember, there was no recording. It was a
simple system of a continuous loop of clear film on which the voices and a
time signal were "scratched" and supposedly fool proof.
The following morning we were not allowed to sleep in, but had to parade
for the CO to remind us that the Official Secrets Act applied to events of
the previous night. Later that day, the CC tried to get in contact with
the two pilots concerned at their airfield, but were told they had gone on
leave! There was an unconfirmed rumor that the aircraft were contaminated
by radiation. It was also confirmed that there were no weather balloons
being launched in the vicinity. That was the last we heard of it. This is
not the same incident as has been reported in the same area in, I think
1956, involving Mildenhall and Woodbridge. My wife, who was the CCs
assistant at the time, confirms this incident, but from a different
viewpoint. "It was such a vivid experience that I can still picture it
after (heaven forbid) 50 years!" Thanks to 2590718 SAC John Cotton
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE - The witnesses were in the back garden on July 20,
2003, at 1:30 AM, looking at the stars, when they saw a bright white light
traveling across the sky at extremely high altitude. They report, "It was
traveling too fast to be an aeroplane and there was no engine sound." The
first sighting took one minute to travel across the sky to the base of the
Big Dipper. The light was not steady, as it would be, if it had been an
aeroplane. The light appeared unsteady and wobbly. The second sighting took
place fifteen minutes later, when a light slightly duller and lower light
in the sky flew past. I am confident that this also was not an aeroplane
as there were no wing lights or sound.

NETHERLANDS - SIX UNUSUAL LIGHTS
ROOSENDAAL - The witness was spotting satellites on July 19, 2003, when he
suddenly noticed six faint lights in the sky (far fainter than the
satellite at 22:42 UT). He states, "I was already quite use to the low
light environment or else I doubt if I would have seen them." They were
around 80 degrees up in the sky to the south and they disappeared around 45
degrees to the southeast. Their speed seemed to stay the same, but they
moved a little faster than standard satellites. I've confirmed with a
normal satellite that this was about the height where they went into the
shadow of the earth. The thing which disturbed me most was that there were
six objects flying near each other in formation with some little shifting
back and forward as you see in formation flight in air shows.
HAELEN -- We saw four lights flying with high speed on July 19, 2003,
moving north at 11:30 PM. One of the four crafts made sudden movements
through the formation. We don't think they were aircraft because of their
altitude and movements.

CROATIA - LIGHT BALL HOVERS THEN CHARGES TOWARDS US
MLJET, SOLINE - The witnesses went for a walk after dinner on July 17,
2003, and saw a bright tiny light hovering above the shore at 9:15 PM. They
reported, "We couldn't figure out what it was, but it started flying
towards us at high speed, faster than I have ever seen before." The light
became about the size of a volleyball, but didn't look like an electrical
light. It was very solid and bright. My friend and I were frozen to the
ground, and all we could think was, "Go away, we were scared, because the
object was completely silent, no wind and just so different from anything
else we have ever seen." After the light became the size of volleyball, it
started to move away from us to about the size of a prune, and then it
vanished. We ran back to the hotel and asked the locals, if they know
anything about strange lights at night. Nobody knew about this light.
