Space
If you have an interest in UFOs and life from other planets, the chances are you also have an interest in space, the universe, and the questions and mysteries of the cosmos.
And while the claims of aliens and flying saucers are indeed exciting, and certainly no less credible, the mysteries of the stars and planets are equally captivating in their own right.
Here you will find articles looking at the planets in our solar system, as well as the ones we are discovering daily, and the ultimate question of whether “intelligent life” will ever become “known” to us here on Earth…?

Losing The Electrical Grid Could Be Disaster For All Of Us!
Most of are fully aware of electricity and the difference it makes to modern life. However, most people are not perhaps aware that if we were suddenly be without electricity – if we lost the world’s electrical grid – the consequences for humanity would be catastrophic – and long lasting. And the fact is, all it would take is a solar flare striking the Earth to make that happen. More worrying still, the likelihood of that happening is considerable…

Was There A Time In Human History When The Moon Didn’t Exist?
While it is a notion that mainstream history and science dismisses unreservedly, there are many legends to be found in ancient writings of a time before the moon; a time when the night skies seemingly looked very different than they do today. While common sense says that life, human life, could not survive without the moon, some researchers suggest our moon is just the latest of several that has orbited the planet, which could mean that humanity did indeed exist, and perhaps thrive, before our current moon came into existence…

Forbidden Locations Of The Moon
According to many researchers, there are certain locations on the lunar surface that are “forbidden” to go to, with some even suggesting that these forbidden locations are the reason for the ending of the moon landing program. In more recent years, some whistleblowers have stepped forward suggesting they have worked on the technology that could take human beings back to the moon. And if they do return, what might they find in this off-limits region of our cosmic satellite...?

Total Obliteration: The Grim Reality Of A Black Hole Appearing Close To The Earth
Just what would happen if a huge supermassive black hole appeared in the reaches of our solar system on a collision course with Earth? While the chances of this happening are highly unlikely, it is not entirely impossible. And what’s more, it is likely that such a scenario would have a catastrophic and deadly end for all of us, one that would could, in a worst-case scenario, unfold in only 24 hours. There is, though, another possibility, that these black holes, of which there are quadrillion, could very well act as gateways to other parts of the Universe, or even different dimensions…

Was Oumuamua An Extraterrestrial Craft And Will It Return?
When a mysterious object was spotted heading away from Earth in 2017, there was much debate by scientists whether a flyby had just taken place by an extraterrestrial spacecraft, not least as the object was strangely shaped and appeared to accelerate with no apparent explanation. While some claim the object, as intriguing as it is, is naturally formed artifact, it officially remains unexplained…

Steps Toward A Permanent Residency In Space: The Journey To The International Space Station
Although the International Space Station didn’t come to life until the final years of the twentieth century, its roots go back to the very beginning of the Space Race, if only in concept. Following NASA’s successful moon landings as the sixties morphed into the 1970s, the Soviet Union would once more take the lead in this, albeit less dramatic but no less important part of the Space Race. Ultimately, the space station projects of the seventies and eighties set the foundations of what would become the International Space Station, and period of collaboration in space exploration…

Success And The Realization Of A Nightmare: The Space Shuttle Era
There is little doubt that the Space Shuttle Program, which ran for three decades between 1981 and 2011 is a classic era in space exploration, and one where interest in such matters surged. However, it was also one that witnessed two tragic incidents resulting in the deaths of 14 astronauts - tragedies compounded by apparent missed warnings and lessons not learned…

The Handshake In Space – The Apollo-Soyuz Project
The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project was not only the first collaborative effort between the United States and the Soviet Union in space, but it marked the start of a thawing of the attitudes of each side during the Cold War. And while the fall of the Soviet Union was still a decade and a half away, the desire to work together was displayed before billions of people watching the event around the world. Indeed, the importance of the project should not be understated, and is truly a historic moment in the timeline of space exploration…

Close Calls And Controversy: The Last Hurrah Of The Apollo Missions
The Apollo program would deliver the missions that would firmly establish the United States as the clear winners of the Space Race, making them the dominant force in space exploration. However, far from being perfect missions, there were several heart-stopping moments during the course of the missions, perhaps specifically so when crewed vehicles were sent to the moon…

The Realm Of The Gods: The Apollo Program, The Moon Landings, And A New Dawn
While the moon landings essentially won the Space Race for the United States, the historic occasion truly marked a change in the attitude of the Americans and the Soviet Union. Although the Cold War would rage for a further two decades following this achievement, there appeared to be a discreet climbing down of hostility, at least as far as space exploration was concerned…

Into The Heavens: The First Humans In Space And The Underlying Drive Of The Cold War
After the tentative steps of the late 1950s, the sixties saw the Space Race accelerate dramatically. And with those advancement came tragic consequences for both sides. Following the initial advancements of the Soviet Union, the United States eventually nosed in front in the race to reach the stars and beyond…

High-Altitude Rockets, Satellites, And Spacecraft: The Early History Of The Space Race
When we think of the Space Race most of us likely also think of the Cold War – a race between the United States and Soviet Union to reach the stars and explore space. The fact is, though, the origins of the space go back even further, to the rocket designs of Nazi scientists who would then continue their work on both sides of the ideological divide following the war, and taking humanity on arguably one of the greatest journeys in history…

Going to Mars: The Problems, The Mission & The Possibilities
If there is any cosmic body other than the Moon that has fascinated humanity for thousands of years it is Mars, the red planet that is, at least to the outer regions, is our nearest planetary neighbor. Given that we have already explored the Moon, albeit only partially, it perhaps makes sense that we should also look to set foot on Mars. And there are plenty of active plans for us to do just that sooner than many of us might think…

Will Private Space Missions Shine Light On The Mars Conspiracies?
Our nearest planetary neighbor, Mars, has intrigued humans since ancient times. And while we have yet to set our collective foot on the red planet, the day would appear to be drawing ever closer. The real question might be, will it be NASA who reach Mars first? Or will one of the increasing private companies prove to be first. And if so, what will that mean for the information available to the general public…?

Cloud Cities On Venus: Exploring Earth’s Forgotten Cosmic Neighbor!
While we know that it would be impossible for a manned mission to our cosmic neighbor, Venus. Despite it being very similar to our own home planet, if we ever did manage to land on the surface, we would be incinerated by the inferno-like temperatures that exist there. However, scientists believe there could be a possibility that humans might be able to exist in the clouds of Venus, on huge floating cities…
