"Skeptic Radford says he's solved the mystery of the chupacabra; I posted about this on my blog Animal Forteana. After that big news hit the Fortean-Cyrptid World, Radford announced he's offering a reward for anyone who can show proof of earlier accounts of chupie sightings. Here's what I posted about both items on Animal Forteana:"
About fifteen years ago, I was working on my final folklore project in graduate school, focusing on cataloging the ways animals appear in paranormal, UFO, and Fortean narratives. Sometimes animals appeared as mundane entities as "witnesses", other times, the animals were themselves supernatural or "others." Here's a small bit about the Chupacabra from the paper, tentatively titled "My Alien Lizard Lover: Animal Motifs in UFO and Fortean Narratives:"
The Chupacabra (goat sucker) is the creature of legend unto itself. Described as three to four feet tall, with large, "wrap around eyes (not unlike the eyes of the gray aliens) with a spiny ridge on its back, the Chupacabras has been a part of of lore in the Latino community for a few years, originating from Puerto Rico, which has folkloric traditions of vampire type creatures who attack animal and humans alike. Chupacabra punctures its victims; rabbits, goats, chickens, and other small creatures, in the neck, draining the victim of all blood. Recently the stories have included attacks on humans. In the past two or three years, stories of Chupacabras have made their into Latino ethnic beliefs in the United States, as well as crossing over into non-Latino (Anglo, etc.) groups. Cooper's "Dictionary of Symbolic and Mythologic Animals "gives this definition this definition of the goat sucker birds:An evil and ill omened nocturnal, and therefore allied to the powers of darkness: said to drain milk from cows and goats.. Goatsuckers can embody the souls of people unable to account for crimes committed while in human form; their cries are said to be the wailing of the ghost expiating the sins." (Cooper; 1992: 114) Cooper does not give any cultural reference for this however. But the parallels to the term Chupacabras and the concept of a creature draining an animal of fluid, as well as its avenging nature, are obvious.
Many personal experience narratives combine the presence of Chupacabras with UFOs and extraterrestrials. "A lot of Mexicans believe in extra extraterrestrials, so that's what they think they are (Arizona Daily Star, Sunday, May 11, 1996) "Others think the Goat Sucker may have come from outer space of is the mutant progeny of some mad gene-splicing scheme." (Dudley Althaus, Register-Guard, May 14, 1996)
Tensions within the narratives of Chupacabra include the fear expressed by telling these stories, and the satiric songs and cartoons that have become an industry.
Elizabeth Casals, in her article "Chupacabra Weekend (UFO Magazine) writes of her search for personal narratives in Mexico about the Chupacabras. No one would admit that they believed such lore, but Casals did find "souvenir stalls, their shelves pile high with plaster piggy bans and cowhide wallets. And racks of T-shirts. Several styles of Chupacabras shirts caught my eye: particularly the one that read "Beware - the Chupacabra will get you." (Casals, 1996:30) Obviously tourism is good for the Chupacabras business, whether or not the lore is believed by locals. She did find a woodcarver who had carved an image of the Chupacabra.
People within this tradtion are usually reluctant to talk about the Chupacabras and are afraid of being ridiculed. A superstitious belief that they will invite the Chupacabras into their lives by discussing the creature may be the motivation for keeping silent on the Chupacabras, particularly towards outsiders. Yet, as happens so often in folklore, there are contradictions. Humor,, satric songs, and cartoonish images often the fear an and unease about the unknown. The Chupacabra is an unknown, and is believed to be causing damage to people's pets as well as humans. By creating a story that this Chupacabra is, indeed a creature, and, that the creature is a "pet" of the aliens, some order has been made out of he chaos of harmful, unexplained vents. The Chupacabra has been given a place and a definition.The paper is over sixteen years old, and of course, I was writing within the context of approved-by-academia and the confines of my subject area, folklore. (I also notice in looking this over that a lot is lacking as to citations, style, and so on. ) Which, as I commented on the C-Influcence blog, required a particular mind-set regarding one's philosophical treatment of paranormal-UFO events:
I loved the academic realm of folklore as a discipline, but, had a few major problems with it at the same time. I am not an academic, and, when in college, decided to not follow that path. I'm simply not wired that way; can't deal with authorities, politics, 9 to 5 job milieu... but that aside, I found a huge problem in folklore studies -- as an academic pursuit - that seemed ironically contradictory. On the one hand, collecting stories while remaining nonjudgmental was encouraged. At the same time, it seemed to me folklore couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Professors wanted conclusions, they wanted a psychological analysis. Well, I'd say, I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a psychology student, I'm not even taking any psychology classes. While I could give a sort of every-woman's, educated take on, say, UFO narratives using psychology (Jung, etc.) it wouldn't really be worth much. If not psychology, sociology, if not that, science, they wanted something. Pointing out that folklore, while utilizing those areas in some ways, is not those things, -- well, we just went around. To the above, I will add that the aknowledgement of these things as possible, let alone real, was simply not an option.
At the time, Chupacabras was big news in both the marginalized and fringe cultures of paranormal studies, as well as the mainstream news. Usual explanations from the latter group for Chupacabras included "cultural or sociological anxiety", good old superstitions, and a sudden misunderstanding of predators and their affects on domestic and livestock, ranch and farm animals. As these stories do, Chupacabra faded away a bit, and for reasons I haven't yet figured out, morphed into a new kind of Chupacabra: the canine type animal reported as a Chupacabra reported throughout the United States.
Skeptic Benjamin Radford, in his recent and supposed solving of the chupacabras mystery, writes that one of the early Chupacabra witnesses, Madelyne Tolentino, had seen the movie "Species" a few weeks before her sighting of the Chupacabras, which Radford found "suspicious.":
"To me, that was the smoking gun," he said. "It can't be a coincidence that this Chupacabra that's now popping up around the world just happens to look exactly like the monster in this sci-fi film. As usual with the kinder, gentler skeptic, the new tactic is not to accuse the witness of being mentally ill or a liar, just... "confused.":
"But Radford said he doesn't think Tolentino is a liar or hoaxer, just that she confused something she saw in a movie with something she saw in real life. "There "are" similarities; but there are also differences. Like breasts, numerous tendrils upon the head, and the height of the entity, which is quite tall.
This same explanation -- of imagined creatures from an entertainment venue -- was offered by skeptics when Barney and Betty Hill described their encounters. An Outer Limits episode: The Bellero Shield aired on February 10th, 1964, a couple of weeks before the HIlls experienced their UFO sighting and abduction. Again, there are similarities to the aliens in the television episode, but differences as well, including height. Contrast the Outer Limits creature with drawings of what the Hills saw made by both the Hills and other artists. Googling or otherwise searching out these images, and comparing and contrasting them for yourself will reveal that there are as many differences as there are similairites. (For a related article on imagery, see my "Betty Hill's "The Supervisor": A Visceral Reaction", for UFO Digest.)
I'm not attempting to thoroughly analyze the merits of either case; but the point is, imagery within popular culture is often used to "explain" mysterious encounters. It's silly to state images don't influence us on many levels, every day, far more than we know. That is a whole other topic. At the same time, to throw about images from movies and television and use them to "solve" mysteries is just too simplistic.
I find it ironic that images and symbols are influencing us -- speaking to us
every moment of every day and often in insidious and spooky ways, manipulated by the powers that be, and yet we remain ignorant of all "that". At best, if we notice it at all, we label it "conspiracy theory" and move on. But the skeptics, and not a few UFO researchers, are quick to point to images as the cause for what's perceived during paranormal or UFO encounters. This easy explanation takes care of everything in one fits all theory, and we no longer have to deal with the pesky supernatural, Fortean or UFO event.
Inexplicita left this comment on the above post:
Ms. Casals search was doomed to fail from the start. There is no "Chupacabras lore" in Mexico - the phenomenon kicked off in May 1996 in Veracruz. However, there is a certain amount of background information (and a long history of mutilations) in Puerto Rico, although those early waves of the 1950s and mid-1970s never featured a visible protagonist.
Not content to have "solved" the Chupacabra mystery, Radford is now looking for witness accounts prior to the 1990s. Article begins:
As reported here on Discovery News and elsewhere, the origin of the mysterious vampire beast el chupacabra can be traced back to an eyewitness who saw the 1995 film Species, which featured an identical monster.
As I commented in my previous post no it can't, and no it doesn't.
But, Radford, one of the new, improved, benign forms of skeptics, (who, like Joe Nickel, present themselves as "paranormal investigators" not skeptics) offers a reward for anyone providing proof of earlier sightings:
I'll offer a public 250 reward (plus a signed copy of my book Tracking the Chupacabra) for the first verifiable written evidence of a blood-sucking monster called the chupacabra (or chupacabras) that dates before 1990. It must be a published, dated reference; I can be contacted via Discovery News.
Well, at least he hasn't offered up the owl as an explanation for the mystery.

Canadian Air Force Pilot, R. J. Childerhose, photographs UFOCanadair CL-13 Sabre Mk VI fighter"1956-Canada-A Royal Canadian Air Force pilot while flying at an altitude of about 11 km saw and photographed a very bright, disc-like object that was remaining stationary near a thunderhead. An analysis of the photograph suggests that it would have been radiating in excess of a gigawatt of power within the spectral range of the film."Link - http://www.ufocasebook.com/bestufopictures.htmlLink - http://www.nicap.org/560827alberta dir.htm"From a letter to Dr.James McDonald, June 12, 1968: "I don't know whether I mentioned this to you but the photo of the bright object doesn't represent quite what appeared to the naked eye. When I first saw the object it appeared as a very bright, clearly defined discoid, like a silver dollar lying on its side. The photo makes it look like a blob of light, the result of light intensity. It appeared much brighter than that (sic) of the sun which, of course was setting behind the clouds up ahead. What appears in the Kodachrome slide is a disappointment, really."Link - http://brumac.8k.com/RJC/RJC.htmlSturrock Panel report: Case #I occurred on August 27, 1956, near McCleod, Alberta, Canada. The witnesses were two Royal Canadian Air Force pilots who were flying in a formation of four F86 Sabre jet aircraft. The planes were flying due west over the Canadian Rockies at 36,000 feet about one hour before sunset.One of the pilots saw a "bright light which was sharply defined and disk-shaped," that resembled "a shiny silver dollar sitting horizontal," situated below the planes but above a thick layer of clouds. It appeared to be considerably brighter than sunlight reflecting off the clouds. The duration of the sighting was estimated to be between 45 seconds and 3 minutes.The first pilot to notice the object reported the observation to the flight leader and then took a photograph on a Kodachrome color slide. This case and this photograph were subsequently analyzed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee (Maccabee, 1996). Maccabee has presented an argument against the propositions that the phenomenon is due either to reflection of sunlight by the clouds or to lightning. From the available data, Maccabee estimates the luminosity of the object (the power output within the spectral range of the film) to be many megawatts.Link - http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/jse 12 2 sturrock.pdfLink - http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case255.htm

Spooky footage claims to have captured the ghost of a long-dead Lord Mayor communicating with paranormal investigators.
Experts caught the eerie interactions on camera during a guided tour of the Liverpool Medical Institute, which is renowned for its apparently unexplained sightings.
The team from Sefton Paranormal Investigators claimed to have noticed several elements of what they believe to be spiritual activity as they watched the footage back after the tour last month.
Spooky: Footage taken by the team apparently shows a ghostly orb crossing the main staircase of the Liverpool Medical Institute, which was opened in 1837
Haunted? Others have claimed to have seen a ghostly figure of a man and his dog in the same site
The Liverpool Medical Institute, which opened in 1837, is one of the oldest medical societies in the world.
There have been previous claims of ghostly sightings on the main staircase, the library and the Victorian lecture theatre
And the team, made up of four investigators and 17 members of the public, claim to have made contact with Richard Caton, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool from 1907-1908 - who died in 1926.
Their investigation began by identifying areas within the 19th century Grade II-listed building as potential hotspots for activity.
Pamela Robinette, from Sefton Paranormal Investigators, said: 'As a rule of thumb, we always begin by simply asking if there are any spirits that wish to communicate with us.
'When we reached the medical library we set up electro-magnetic field sensors, known as rempods, on the outer side of the room.
Detection: Pamela Robinette, from Sefton Paranormal Investigators, claimed that the electro-magnetic sensors in the medical library picked up a signal, pictured, from Richard Caton, Lord Mayor of Liverpoool
'If we did make contact, then the sensor should detect the electro-magnetic field that all spirits possess and set off an audible alarm with flashing lights - but it is very rare for this device to react.'The walls are covered with portraits of past significant bodies and we started by asking for the people in the portraits to step toward the device.
'After calling for Richard Caton, Lord Mayor of Liverpool in 1908, the alarms went off.'We continued to direct questions to Richard Caton for two hours and have documented evidence of seventeen occurences in which the rempod was set off.
'And spookily, each time this happened the temperature would drop by a staggering five degrees just before.'

On the case: The team at Sefton Paranormal Investigators, pictured, claim to have made contact with Richard Caton, the Lord Mayor of Liverpool from 1907-1908 - who died in 1926
Another part of the footage claims to show a ghostly orb at the foot of the main staircase, where others are said to have seen ghostly figures of a man and his dog.The light anomaly seems to appear out of thin air before crossing the path of the group and disappearing again.
A member of the team walks straight past the orb and appears not to notice it. Ms Robinette claimed that the orb was too bright and intense to be dust, and that if it had been an insect there would have been a specific flight path and shape.

SHORT UFO FACT: [Crop Circles is concentric rings and patterns up to 100 feet in diameter have been appearing in farmers crop fields in England, United States, and other locations since the 1950's. A report stated that 98 circles appeared in 1988, 240 in 1989. The majority of circles are formed around Stone Henge and other megalithic structures. They also appear to be aligned with ley lines. Crop circles always form rapidly at night (WITHIN AN HOUR ACCORDING TO SOME REPORTS). UFO sightings, moving orange lights, "WHOOSHING" or warbling sounds usually preceed the formations of circles.]
PROYECTO OVNI
SHORT UFO FACT: [Crop circles are formed in maturing crops, the stems are partially flattened, and entangled or intertwined. The plants are all bent and face the same direction, clockwise or counter clockwise. The crops are never damaged, broken, or show signs of forced bending. The plants continue to grow normally throughout the rest of their growing cycle.]

Egentligen skulle jag ha tillbringat den h"ar helgen pa Hallsta konferens och UFO-Sveriges kurs f"or f"altunders"okare. Men det sprack tyv"arr sa Clas Svahn och "ovriga ansvariga far jobba extra hart f"or att fa allt att fungera. Trakigt men inte mycket att g"ora at. Bade min sambo Susanne och jag ha varit d"ackade i vad som f"ormodligen "ar vinterkr"aksjukan. Jag hade hoppats kunna sjunga upp mig cultivate helgens kurs men det visade sig vara alltf"or optimistiskt. Clas kommer som vanligt att rapportera pa sin blogg om vad som h"ant under kursen.
I dag "ar f"orsta dagen som jag k"anner mig nagot sa n"ar kry sa ist"allet f"or kurs sitter jag framf"or datorn och planerar fondle f"oredrag pa "Malm"o Interplanetariska S"allskap" (MIS) pa fredag. Temat den h"ar gangen "ar Ufo och den esoteriska traditionen. Ett "amne de flesta ufologer vet v"aldigt lite om. Jag kommer att visa de bade f"orenings- person- och id'ehistoriska kopplingarna mellan ufor"orelsen och esoteriken, s"arskilt vad g"aller Sverige.
Det "ar m"arkligt att ingen, vad jag k"anner cultivate, skrivit en doktorsavhandling om den teosofiska r"orelsen i Sverige. Den startade med att f"orfattaren Viktor Rydberg ar 1888 bj"od in ett antal teosofiintresserade cultivate sitt hem i Djursholm, low profile dem tva damer som bes"okt Blavatsky i London. Det blev upptakten cultivate bildandet av den svenska avdelningen av "Teosofiska Samfundet", under ledning av l"akaren dr. Gustaf Zander. "Aven kung Oscar II var intresserad av teosofin och n"ar det internationella samfundets ledare Henry Olcott och senare Annie Besant bes"okte Sverige blev de inbjudna cultivate audiens hos konungen. Anh"angare och sympatis"orer var f"or "ovrigt grevinnan Constance Wachtmeister, Distinguished Strindberg, Gustaf Fr"oding och Selma Lagerl"of. Unexciting teosofer finner vi ocksa k"anda namn som psykologerna Sidney Alrutz och Bror Gadelius. Dessutom konstn"aren Gustaf Fjaestad.
Mycket kortfattat skulle man kunna s"aga att den organiserade svenska ufor"orelsen skapades av esoteriker, i f"orsta hand av medlemmar i "Teosofiska Samfundets Adyar". De tva f"orsta ufob"ockerna pa svenska, "De flygande tefaten" av Honest Scully (1951) och "Flygande tefat - observat"orer fran v"arldsrymden" av Donald Keyhoe (1955), resulterade inte i bildandet av nagra ufof"oreningar "aven om de bidrog cultivate ett "okat intresse f"or fragan.
Att det blev unbiased teosofer som skapade den svenska ufor"orelsen "ar inte f"orvanande. Tanken pa utomjordiska bes"okare och intresse f"or paranormala fenomen var tidigt en integrerad del av teosofin. D"place skapades ocksa en "oppenhet f"or ufofenomen. De kunde l"att integreras som en naturlig del i l"aran. S"arskilt automobile f"orfattaren Desmond Leslie med sin mycket uppm"arksammade "In the air Figurines develop Landed" (1953) "agnat en stor del av sin bok at j"amf"orelser med pastaenden i esoterisk litteratur.
"Malm"o Interplanetariska S"allskap", blev cultivate mycket tack vare det ambiti"osa arbete pa att starta ufof"oreningar runt om i Sverige som drevs av Edith Nicolaisen (1911-1986), grundaren av bokf"orlaget "Parthenon". Inspirerad av antroposofi, teosofi och framf"orallt George Adamskis b"ocker om m"oten med rymdm"anniskor upplevde Nicolaisen sig som kallad cultivate ett korstag f"or the new age, den nya tidsaldern i Norden. Med en gl"odande "overtygelse, ob"andig energi och malmedvetenhet reste hon runt i Sverige aren 1958-1964 och bes"okte hundratals skolor, folkbibliotek, ABF-, IOGT-, sj"omans- och milit"arbibliotek f"or att informera om den nya tidsaldern och s"alja Parthenons litteratur.
Vad jag k"anner cultivate var Edith Nicolaisen sj"alv inte medlem av "Teosofiska samfundet Adyar". D"aremot var hennes f"orsta medarbetare i Parthenon aktiva teosofer. Ediths v"arldsbild var inte strikt teosofisk utan en blandning av antroposofi, teosofi, rosencreutzarl"aror, spiritualism and ufo-kontaktpersoners budskap. Nagon intellektuell systembyggare var Nicolaisen inte utan snarare en nyandlig eklektiker som blandade friskt fran olika k"allor. Trots sina atta ars akademiska studier i low profile annat sprak och filosofi sag hon inte mots"attningarna mellan de olika l"arorna utan plockade likt dagens new age-entusiaster id'eer fran ett stort andligt sm"orgasbord.
Edith Nicolaisen lyckades ganska v"al med sitt andra mal, att bilda ufogrupper runt om i Sverige. I oktober 1958 bj"od hon in de tyska ufologerna Karl och Anny Veit f"or att halla f"oredrag i Malm"o och Helsingborg. Resultatet blev att "Malm"o UFO-S"allskap" bildades den 1 oktober 1958. F"oreningen "andrade 1962 namn cultivate "Malm"o Interplanetariska S"allskap" (MIS), som i dag "ar den "aldsta "annu existerande ufof"oreningen i Sverige. Not more than framf"orallt Ebbe Johanssons ordf"orandeskap har MIS fungerat som en aktiv f"orel"asningsf"orening alltsedan 1950-talet. Ebbe var ocksa under nagra ar ledamot i Parthenons styrelse. I dag "ar MIS en del av riksorganisationen UFO-Sverige.
En id'ehistoriker som unders"oker den svenska ufor"orelsen skulle faktiskt kunna h"avda att svensk ufologi fran b"orjan cultivate stor del var ett skott pa den esoteriska traditionen. Det finns mycket mer att ber"atta om detta men det far v"anta cultivate f"oredraget pa fredag.

Two different photos with the exact same structure in it. These photos come from the Marlin Space Science Systems (MSSS). The photos were taken by the Mars Global Surveyor Satellite. Notice how the photos from 2 decades ago are better than todays Google Mars map? The satellite was launched in 1996 so these photos has been up for a while.In one photo the building is on the upper 20% and on the other photo its on the lower 20%. There are many other structures and even 3 ships, but lets focus on this one because of its detail.
Photos like these really make me wonder how people can still deny that aliens exist? With thousands of structures found already on Mars, Moon and so on, the evidence is undeniable. This photos above and below are two great examples. They are a close up of a structure that was confirmed in a second photo of the same area a few seconds later. Two photos confirming the existence of the same structure.
It is evidence like this that often makes me hope that freedom hackers will one day do as UK hacker Gary Mckinnon and seek the truth in MSSS/NASA/SOHO/Military/NSA/CIA computers. We can't do it without them. And if we learned anything from heroes like Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden and yes even Michael Hastings is that the people demand the truth, and if the US government Denies this to them, the people will take America back once again.

The International Interruption Conduit celebrates its wedding anniversary today, 15 living after the first pattern was launched in 1998. Nov. 20, 1998, was a day to blot in history. The Russian Interruption Authorize, now typical as Roscosmos, launched a Proton whiz that lifted the harried pattern called Zarya, or "cock-crow," inwards fly around. This launch would essentially be the get going of the principal international give in test in space to consistently grow to light. The Interruption Conduit is the principal community project consistently carried out in science, linking NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, the Canadian Interruption Authorize and the Japan Aerospace Quest Authorize.
"We were in the control center in Houston that night to watch Zarya launch, bring down beside a happiness production of human race from the program," supposed Bill Bastedo, who is nowadays greater wickedness beginning of Booz Allen Hamilton. At the time, Bastedo had the lawfully exhausting workplace of launch bundle better for Consistency, also typical as Node 1. "It was in fact, for us, exciting to call Zarya on fly around so we may possibly get our stop working to slaughter our authority."

Two weeks later, on Dec. 4, 1998, NASA's space shuttle Endeavour launched Consistency, the first U.S. segment of the complex, during the STS-88 authority. The two space modules built on deviating sides of the planet were about to be allied united in space, establishment the space station essentially international.

The ring of Trip up 1 set the lattice for international give in and conduct in space, displaying mutual look after and teamwork. At the same time as the Trip up 1 crew's bit aboard the space station, submit call been 37 expeditions behind schedule the incredibly companionship in space, dynamic just before difference goals. This makes the International Interruption Conduit lodge to the information continuous human specter in space of all time.
In give a lift of station collection and maintenance, station and shuttle crews call conducted 174 spacewalks calculation violently 1,100 hours - the different to virtually 46 excitement of spacewalks to body and prove correct the complex. The station, beside a bung of violently a million pounds and the amount of a football educate, is flash clearly to the moon as the brightest object in the night sky.

Aristocratic the living, a significant negotiate of research has been from first to last on the space laboratory, which has or else yielded maximum have a row just before abundant fields. The science of the space station has provided sustain to earth in areas such as human physical condition, Home vision and education. Hang around additional have a row and sustain for what's more space exploration and life on Home are liable in the potential living.
Better than 69 countries call put research on the orbiting laboratory that advances space exploration and provides a flock of sustain to humans on Home. A few examples of the sustain provided by research performed on the space station are dyed in NASA's new matter "Assistance for Humankind." These tourist attractions have to do with neurosurgical therapeutic technology in Canada; water purification technology in unindustrialized Mexico; undeveloped monitoring in the northern Extraordinary Plains of the Intersection States; novice inexperienced radio dealings beside the space station in the U.S. midwest; and, remote telemedicine in unindustrialized Brazil.

The last indispensable qualities of the Interruption Conduit delivered by a Interruption Shuttle was the AMS-02 finger-puppet in May 2011. One additional pressurised pattern leave be share the accomplishments to the Station: Russia's Nauka Dexterous Laboratory Part is as big as Zarya and Zvezda. It leave be installed on the Earth-facing docking port of the Zvezda pattern.

Meanwhile, the 38th ring to live and work continuously aboard the orbital laboratory is thrill ahead beside science to able life on Home and in space. The six-member ring is also ensuring the station is working in optimal shape and exercising to get on correctly during its ongoing get on in space.

Wednesday's first workplace was to deploy the fourth and continue nano-satellite, typical as a Cubesat, from a deployer facility film Japan's Kibo laboratory. Three Cubesats were released Tuesday daylight from the target share the accomplishments to the Japanese robotic arm. Afterwards, ground controllers returned the things to its pre-deployment design and power-driven down the robotic arm.
Biomedical science is ongoing as a number of ring members participating in innovative experiments in peace blood and urine samples for re-examination on the ground. Get away Engineers Koichi Wakata and Mike Hopkins participated in an eye exam and a blood request experimental.
The duo also partnered up for a beautiful physics mock-up that observes how liquids feint in microgravity which may possibly able water and fuel signal systems on future spacecraft. Scientists premeditated the Vein Scurry Experiment-2 to seek properties of fluids and fizz rainy-day containers beside a specific 3-D geometry.

SETI researchers have pointed out that First Contact is likely to be an ambiguous event in many respects. The reception of an alien signal would take much study to determine the origin, with plenty of debate along the way. Even once confirmed as being engineered, what the signal means could take many years to decipher, if that's even possible. Yet, there are issues that even an ambiguous signal, once confirmed to be of extraterrestrial intelligence in origin, raises for humans here and now. The problem comes in what we don't know. The discovery of an engineered signal would only show that there is possibly intelligent life out there in the universe. We would have a specific origin of the signal to study for further evidence of life. But is that location necessarily where the intelligent beings are from and where they are now? Perhaps they were just passing through or have a relay of some sort? Perhaps it's a leftover remnant of a civilization long passed?
The mere fact that there is extraterrestrial intelligence out there would raise a series of troubling questions: exactly where are they? Do they have the ability to get here? Are they already in the neighborhood? Once again, proximity becomes a major issue.
Even an ambiguous signal raises the need for a unified, United Nations led effort to provide a framework for response. Developing a diplomatic framework, even before we know what we might be dealing with, actually makes sense. Having a framework in place means that you have thought through the possibilities and you can respond much quicker to challenges when the need arises. Developing a working relationship between scientists, politicians and diplomats would be important in such a scenario. Groups like the SETI Institute could provide the knowledge and background to help lead United Nations officials in developing a planet-wide response.
The trouble may be far off or may even be something we never confront. It may not even be trouble at all, simply pleasant space aliens with whom we conduct a decades-long conversation across light years of space. Considerations of our defense and safety are still a cautious and practical reaction in the wake of an ambiguous First Contact. It certainly shouldn't be a panic driven rush to put nuclear weapons in space. It could simply be a series of what-ifs leading us to consider making some long-term changes to make us safer. Perhaps just monitoring our solar system for evidence of visitors? Or a manned observation system in Earth orbit?
The SETI Institute and the United Nations should begin the basic discussions now. It can be an informal and zero-dollar conversation to start. And perhaps it is already occurring and I'm just out of the loop. I know that United Nations officials, such as Mazlan Othman, the Director of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, have attended scientific conferences that have involved SETI researchers and astrophysicists. I hope they have had an opportunity to sit down over coffee, at the very least, to have a reasonable discussion. It could grow into a volunteer task force that reports to COPUOS (the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space). Developing a working relationship now would be quite advantageous if First Contact ever does occur. But please, let's keep it quiet. The media has proven that they can't handle the excitement when people talk about reasonable approaches to First Contact.

Jeffrey Gonzalez, Come to nothing of the Sanger Weird Contributor, expressed power in the evidence, seeing that illustrative the Society's liaison. "No, it's not a Bigfoot in a freezer, and we are not related in imitation of relatives guys in any way," he made-up. "This evidence was captured inside an fall in the Illustrious Sierras of California inside the Monument Day weekend of 2011."
Sanger indicated that here were a accomplished of five personnel in make who finished the discovery. Three of relatives personnel are:
1. An victorious high learned overruling in imitation of a Masters Tome. This initially science teacher and initially investigator for www.BFRO.com has been investigating Bigfoot for 15 being.
2. A Skilled Vocational Think of who deceased 14 being in the military, and who was featured on an experience of Monster Quest dignified, "The Sierra Abominable snowman."
3. Gathering employed at AT&T for 11 being who has an Relatives Tome in Electronics and is the Come to nothing of the www.SangerParanormalSociety.com.
Sanger indicated that a Forensic Practiced in imitation of 14 being of hold was called out to grasp photos and stain for DNA from the windows.
This situate somewhere the evidence was captured is accepted for very big Bigfoot activity, and has been habitually visited by the investigators mentioned trimming.
