Since the 1600’s, crop circles have fascinated millions. Originally from the town of Hertfordshire, UK, the first circle was claimed to be by the “Mowing-Devil”, as found in an English newspaper dated back to 1678. (Gail) The image in the center of the paper depicts a small, devilish creature with a scythe, mowing two rectangular, offset circles. Modern circles form themselves in anything that will take imprint, typically in fields of oats, barley, or corn. (Pringle 5) Since the 1600’s forward, crop
Are we alone in the universe? This one is a hard question to answer, but there seems to be an argument that this cannot be so. Firstly, the universe is a huge place, a place that expands every second. It is so big that earth is only a tiny atom in the universe, so we can’t be the only ones alive in all that possibility of space. Secondly, life needs certain things to form; these are called CHNOPS and these are found in other places besides earth. Thirdly, people have reported alien sightings on
It is commonly accepted that the possibility of aliens existing is feasible, among the scientific community. Drake’s Equation and The Fermi Paradox are two well-known products of humanities’ view towards extraterrestrial life. Drake’s Equation is an equation written by Dr. Frank Drake to determine the odds of intelligent life and to figure out the number of civilizations in the Milky Way that seek to communicate with each other (Howell).

content of UFO reports, alien folklore, and sci-fi entertainment. Studies in this latter group often point out the structural similarities between alien contact narratives and fairy lore, treading the frontiers of psychoanalysis, folkloristics and ufology (compare Rojcewicz 1995 to Vallée 1993 [1969]). A second genre is the micro-level study of UFO enthusiast and religious groups. Festinger et al's When prophecy fails (1956) remains the most prominent and influential publication on this subject
Is there life out there in the great beyond? It is a question that many of us have asked, but there is no real answer, no tangible evidence to validate the existence of other intelligent beings. All we have are so-called experiences that earthly people have had with these beings, like me. I remember, as a child, I stayed awake late one night. I was lying in bed admiring the stars outside my window when I saw a bright light in the distance. It moved in impossible ways I could not explain, even
