Listening For Life: Seth Shostak on The Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence

Seth claims to have developed an interest in extraterrestrial life at the tender age of ten, when he first picked up a book about the Solar System. This innocent beginning eventually led to a degree in radio astronomy, and now, as Senior Astronomer, Seth is an enthusiastic participant in the Institute’s SETI observing programs.In addition, Seth is keen on outreach activities: interesting the public – and especially young people – in science in general, and astrobiology in particular. He’s co-authored a college textbook on astrobiology, and has written three trade books on SETI. In addition, he’s published more than 400 popular articles on science including regular contributions to NBC News MACH, gives many dozens of talks annually, and is the host of the SETI Institute’s weekly science radio show, “Big Picture Science."Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code ALIEN for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Highgate Vampire | Case File 274

While passing a cemetery it’s often said that one should hold their breath. Whether this is done as a way to avoid angering the spirits or keep from breathing in the phantoms that haunt the graves, the reasoning is lost to time. But if you lived near a certain London cemetery in 1965, ghosts hitching a ride home with you may have been the least of your worries. In the span of a few short months, reports of strange and paranormal events flooded the local newspapers. Chilling apparitions, mysterious figures moving amongst the mausoleums, and dismembered human and animal corpses were among just a few of the terrifying tales that made the headlines. These occurrences would draw in two of the area’s most prominent paranormal investigators. Both had their own suspicions of what was at the heart of all of the gruesome and seemingly sinister activity. The two men would form a rivalry over how exactly to deal with the entity which would last decades and even produce a challenge to a duel of magical combat.

The Guardian UFO | Case File 273

In 1991, the widely popular TV series ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ aired an episode that featured events surrounding a puzzling UFO case that would put the quiet town of West Carleton on the map. The story was made all the more intriguing by information that had preceded the sighting by almost 2 years. A Canadian UFO researcher received a mysterious package which contained documents that detailed an elaborate conspiracy between Canadian and American governments and armed forces. The writings described UFO crash retrievals, reverse engineered technologies, and alien hybrid programs. The same anonymous source would send video footage of an alleged UFO landing that was shown to the world in primetime on ‘Unsolved Mysteries’.

The Battersea Poltergeist | Case File 272

Before January 1956, the daily lives of the Hitchings family would have struggled to have been considered remarkable. That year would mark the beginning of one of the most perplexing paranormal cases in London’s history. It would seemingly begin with the discovery of a mysterious key. The father of the family, Wally Hitchings, would try the key in every lock in their terraced house on Wycliffe Road. The key didn’t fit any of the doors or cabinets but, unbeknownst to the Hitchings family, it may have been what unlocked the flood of supernatural events that would plague their home for years to come. The ghostly activity that would follow, centered around the 15 year old daughter, Shirley. A mischievous spirit would come to reside within the HItchings family home and, as some paranormal researchers have concluded, used Shirley as a conduit to communicate with the living.

The Fractal Universe | Case File 271

Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that can be found in nature and are characterized by self-similarity at different scales. From the branching patterns of trees and veins in leaves, to the shapes of galaxies and the structure of the universe, fractals are ubiquitous in our world. But what if the concept of self-similarity at different scales extends beyond just physical patterns? Could it be possible that our universe itself is a fractal, with structures repeating at different levels of magnification?
