ArabiaTerra Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 It would be worth pointing out here that we have discovered planets around other stars, about 200 of them last report I saw and the next generation of space telescopes will be designed to spot earth sized planets of which we have only found two so far. The next gen telescopes will also be designed to do spectroscopy on the atmospheres of these planets which should be able to detect earth-like life if present.

MaxFusion Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 thought they already had the spectroscopy thingy and I thot it told you how the atmosphere was made up?or am I thinking of something else....I certainly know they can tell what makes up the atmosphere's around other planets, Patrick Moore told me so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 ^^^^^ Yeah, they do have the spectroscopes already. They mounted them on one of the space probes they are sending out to the outer solar system (It might have been the New Horizons probe currently on it's way to Pluto), and it DID detect life...... on Earth as it went past after a slingshot round Venus. At least it proves the concept works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxFusion Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm sure it's a hubble addon, or whatever, that I'm thinking of.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just dug this up, it's from 2006 but can't remember ever hearing of it at time. "The Condign Report," UK Ministry of Defence Confirms UFOs as Plasmas: First, the report asserts that no UFO reports represent alien craft. While there is evidence that experimental craft from friendly nations (the US) are the source of some UFO reports, not a single case involves alien technology or alien craft. In addition, the report hints about "exotic technologies" that are being used by the military for research. Secondly, the Condign Report utilizes the term UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) rather than UFO because the term better describes the findings. In brief, the core of the strangest and most compelling UAP reports involve plasmas floating and moving through the atmosphere. Such phenomena can leave burn marks on the ground and radiation burns on people who are in close proximity, but leave no other traces behind. Third, the Condign Report lends credence to the idea that military research has been conducted on the application of plasma technology in both the former Soviet Union and in the US. The technology has, in fact, been studied for use as a battlefield weapon and as a decoy. The Condign Report asserts that the powerful electromagnetic fields produced by the plasmas affect brain chemistry producing what is today known as the abduction scenario. The report goes on to relate that research in neuropsychology has shown that this is the case. http://www.mysterious-america.net/ufoplasmascondig.html Floating what? did they just say a floating pla-...Nah, surely no.

ArabiaTerra Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 ^^^ Floating plasma, just another name for ball lightning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOYAANISQATSI Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Floating plasma, just another name for ball lightning. Some folk still have a problem with even that... Wikipedia[/url]"]Ball lightning may be an atmospheric electrical phenomenon, the physical nature of which is still controversial.the true nature of ball lightning is still unknown.Until recently, ball lightning was often regarded as a fantasy or a hoax. The confusion may lie in the definition of what it is to be a plasmoid... A plasmoid is a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields.The word plasmoid was coined in 1956 by Winston H. Bostick (1916-1991) to mean a "plasma-magnetic entity" Just don't mention electricity to them; they still can't find the socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
