Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI, is basically what the full name says. SETI is the search to find some sort of extra-terrestrial intelligence in the universe. The acronym SETI was actually made in the 1960’s and is used to describe the all of the radio signals from astronomers that are seeking evidence of some form of an intelligence life source out there.
There is a very famous question in the world and what it asks is “Are we alone?” Well that is where SETI comes in. Before the twentieth century we could see lights in the sky, however then we knew they were just other suns and stars. Somehow the speculation got to us and now we believe that they are UFO’s or Unidentified Flying Objects. We want to know if they are UFO’s flown by some sort intelligent life such as aliens. Now a lot of people believe in aliens. A lot of people don’t. The only way to find out if they are real is by SETI pretty much.
Now if there are aliens in space and we are not alone chances are they aren’t how we think of them. They probably won’t be all green and evil. They probably won’t even be able to walk, but again that is what SETI and the other programs in space are trying to find out.
Now if they come up short and find that there is not or never was anyone with us in the world then that would be a waste of a lot of money and time. Hey they just might find out that there is some form of intelligent life out there with us. A lot of people have claimed to be abducted by “aliens” and many have claimed to see UFO’s. Even one of my families friends have claimed to been abducted. She says this because she has scars on her body that she does not remember how she got them, so she thinks she was probed.
I also claim to have seen a couple of UF...

...ial life out there.
A lot of radio scientists or astronomers are considering the construction of a kilometer sized telescope, a humongous sized instrument that could be of use in SETI. Another cool thing about SETI is that optical searching’s and experiments are already widely increasing in number and even sophistication.
With all of this searching in light and rapid movement, and radio waves some scientists think that we might be getting so close to finding aliens that we could find proof as early as the twenty first century. So pretty much SETI is the search for any other life source such as aliens in our universe. With all of the technology we are way closer and more able to find easier than ever before. If there are aliens we should be able to find them pretty soon

  • High Security Military Base: Area 51 and Aliens

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    Located 90 miles north of Las Vegas sits a high-security military base widely known as Area 51. For decades people have had suspicions about whether or not alien life forms exist and if so, whether or not they are imprisoned at Area 51. This curiosity has been fueled by not only interest in extraterrestrials, but also reported sightings of foreign life forms not from planet Earth. The conspiracies, other life forms exist and are being kept at military base, have largely been fueled by the government’s involvement in nearly all reported sightings. Area 51 not only has discovered other forms of life from outer space but also is most likely conducting strange experiments there.

Believing these are made by aliens will impact greatly on current society because the biggest religion in the world will be proved wrong. Some even say it is impossible for aliens to exist, but we must leave both options open, since we can never predict the future. Even a few hundred years ago, humans thought the earth was flat. Then we found out the earth is not the center of the universe. Recently, we can now travel to other stars and only collect samples. Because we know not even 1% about the universe, I think anything can be possible. Just a week ago, a news released that Vaticans are holding a conference for possible alien beings(fox). Maybe, we humans are just getting adopted to accept other intelligent beings as planned by unknown sources.

    The arguments above state very strong evidence that may not be “without-a-doubt” one-hundred percent proof that aliens exist, but they do lay down a fairly strong foundation for the possibility of alien lifeforms existing somewhere in the never ending expansion we call space. Especially considering several astronauts, including those from the Apollo 11 mission, are people whom are highly appraised and looked upon in society and have attested to seeing and interacting with possible alien beings that are not from
