(Natural News) The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF), a Department of Defense (DOD) program tasked with hunting unidentified flying objects (UFOs) was purportedly shut down back in 2012. However, reports are now surfacing that this department has actually continued existing in secret for the past eight years. While many of the results of the UAPTF’s investigations are […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This […]

(Natural News) A new study from the University of Nottingham has suggested that there are around 36 intelligent alien civilizations in the galaxy, and that these alien races are capable of communicating with each other. But while these beings may be able to communicate with each other, the team says that humans may not be able to with […]

(Natural News) We may need to be less anthropocentric if we are to find evidence of extraterrestrial life, experts say. Speaking at the inaugural TESS Science Conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a panel of experts noted that holding on to the assumption that alien life will be similar to what evolved here […]

(Natural News) Several pilots of the United States Navy have sighted unidentified flying objects (UFOs), according to reports released by the Navy under several Freedom of Information Act requests. The reports, obtained by The Drive and published on Tuesday, share eight instances when Navy pilots encountered unidentified aircraft in the 2010s. Several of the reports provide details about […]

(Natural News) A new study claims that Mars could have been habitable anywhere between 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago. The authors of this study have adjusted their timeline of when they believe the red planet stopped being bombarded with meteorites to around 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago. After this period, the scientists believe that Mars became habitable for […]

(Natural News) Those looking for signs of life outside our planet should take a look first at what’s living deep beneath the ocean’s surface, according to astrobiologists. In a talk presented at the Astrobiology Science Conference, post-doctoral investigator Amy Smith said the Lo’ihi seamount, located just off the southeastern coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, can […]

(Natural News) Deep in the middle of the Northern Atlantic Ocean lies an underwater mountain that, at its highest, rises to be nearly 2,300 feet below the surface. This mountain, known as the Atlantis Massif, after the fabled city that sunk into the ocean, is filled with underwater chimneys that spew minerals and hot water into the […]

(Natural News) A researcher from the University of Lincoln believes that scientists have been looking for extraterrestrial life in the wrong places. The researcher asserts that exomoons — moons that orbit planets outside the solar system (exoplanets) — could hold the key to finding alien life. Of the 4,000 or so exoplanets that have been discovered by scientists […]

(Natural News) Scientists believe that a layer of gassy material on Pluto’s surface is stopping an ocean underneath it from freezing over. New models of Pluto’s evolution suggest that this gassy layer is helping to insulate this body of water. If their calculations are correct, this means that these gases, if present in other planets, can potentially harbor […]
