Multiple Alien Races
According to a new analysis from scientists at the University of Nottingham, we don’t have a lot of alien company.2 researchers published a paper in the Astrophysical Journal arguing that the Milky Way, which sports about 250 billion stars, could host as few as 36 alien societies.
That’s a small number, and rather less than the number of races that have appeared in Star Trek.
The authors supplement their piddling tally with a second, more generous analysis in which they say that, OK, the count might be as many as 1,000.
Either way, their conclusion is that, like Michelin Star restaurants in Wyoming, extraterrestrial civilizations are few and far between.
The implication is that our nearest cosmic chums are at least several thousand light years away.
If so, finding them will be hard, and having a conversation will be impossible.
So how did these British boffins arrive at such a depressing estimate?
After all, there have been enough previous studies on this topic to fill a small horde of hard drives.
Some of these conclude that the Milky Way houses millions of societies, while others claim that, nope, Earth is special and alone.
The Nottingham authors arrive at their low ball estimate by using their own variant of the Drake equation, everyone’s favorite method to gauge alien head counts.
This equation, which can be found in the final chapters of nearly any astronomy textbook, is a chain of 7 parameters that, when multiplied together, yield the number of technologically adept societies in the galaxy.
The parameters include the abundance of Earth like planets, the fraction that spawn life.
However, it’s the equation’s last term that really rules the roost.
It’s the number of years that a technological civilization maintains its mojo.
For how long does a society that’s mastered physics and technology continue to beam radio or light waves into space?
After all, if they stop doing so, we may never find them.
In estimating the lifetime of a technological species, the Nottingham researchers make a big assumption.
They note that we’ve been beaming signals into the ether for about a century.
That’s fair enough.
But then they invoke what they call the Astrobiological Copernican Principle, what others modestly call the Principle of Mediocrity, and maintain that the universe is engaged in a massive Simon Says game.
Whatever we on Earth have done, the rest of the universe also does, or has done.
So because we’ve had radio for about a century, the Nottingham duo assume that all technological cultures will also use such technology for a century.
But no longer.
You might not have any problem with that.
After all, we haven’t yet found any aliens.
So if we don’t know something, such as how long they might stay on the air once they invent radar, radio or television, it’s tempting to take our own experience and apply it to everyone.
But that’s like saying that, because we’ve had airplanes for a century, everyone will have airplanes for a century, and no longer.
This is an astounding assumption.
Radio can convey lots of information with a very low energy cost.
It may be a technology any society would use for much longer than 100 years.
Given the usefulness of radio, you could easily claim that the technological lifetime of societies is 10,000 years, not 100.
If you argue for the larger number, the tally of inhabited worlds increases by a factor of 100.
In other words, this arbitrary assumption by the authors is largely responsible for their strikingly low estimate of the number of alien societies.
But wait, there’s more.
A second premise in the Nottingham paper is similarly astounding.
Namely, that every Earth sized planet in the habitable zone of its solar system will spawn life, and after about 4 or 5 billion years, intelligent life.
The habitable zone is that distance from a star at which an orbiting planet will be neither too cold nor too hot for water based biology.
Now of course most scientists nod their heads if you state the obvious:
That Earth like worlds can spontaneously generate living organisms.
Many, but not all, would also concur that some will eventually evolve an intelligent species.
But surely not all cousins of Earth are so blessed.
That’s like saying that every kid who takes piano lessons will inevitably win the Van Cliburn Prize.
Each and every one.
There’s even a handy counter example nearby.
The habitable zone of our own solar system includes Earth of course, but also Mars and, depending on your personal predilections, Venus.
Neither Mars nor Venus is observed to have life, let alone technically competent life.
The Nottingham paper has garnered a lot of attention because it says that the count of inhabited worlds is paltry.
But don’t be discouraged.
You can make your own assumptions and derive just about any estimate you wish for the number of intelligent cosmic species.
The following is the short list of alleged alien races:
Greys
The Greys come from a star system known as Zeti Reticuli which is a star system located somewhere in the southern celestial hemisphere and are thought to be one of the alien races in contact with Earth.
At a little over 40 light years away they’re practically our closest neighbors, the type of neighbors that you conveniently forget to invite over for a dinner party.
If we had to pick out one particular race in the cosmos and call them the bad guys, it would definitely be these guys.
Tall and humanoid with a long head, and distinctive grey features, they are the most commonly depicted alien life form in our media and are also the beings that are most commonly described by alien abductees who have been returned back to Earth.
The Greys have the greatest tendency to be involved in abductions because they like to stockpile humans.
They think of Earth the way that you would of a chicken farm, just brimming with genetic material that they can’t wait to get their hands on.
They come to Earth to pick up a juicy selection then take it home to do who knows what.
On the off chance that they’re not happy with their selection then they bring it back and choose another.
The Sassani
Hybrids are particularly common across the cosmos and are believed to be of the alien races in contact with Earth.
Some even believe that we humans are genetic hybrids ourselves, but that’s a discussion for another conspiracy forum.
The Sassani are a hybrid that was developed from reptilians and grae humans.
Their development was found to be necessary after the Greys mutated themselves through genetic experimentation to a point where they could no longer reproduce using conventional means, and were only able to spawn new generations by cloning themselves.
Cloning is well and good if you want to create new beings, however it gives no genetic variation over successive generations which lead to problems.
So they came to Earth and convinced a few people to share our genetic information with them.
From this genetic cross over the universe was blessed with an entirely new type of being, the Sassani who in a way are like our interstellar cousins.
They were then given their own planet and allowed to roam free and evolve into the best beings that they can be.
The Sassani have a stronger connection with their higher selves and are believed to be where humans will one day be, although they are millennia ahead of us and are one of up to alien races that are actively engaged in humanity’s conscious awakening.
Arcturians
Of all of the species known believed to inhabit to the Milky Way, the Arcturians are the most ancient and the wisest.
They are said to be one of the alien races in contact with Earth.
If Yoda came from any one of the alien species on this list, it would probably have been this one.
Theirs was the first system to be given the gift of life in our galaxy and all of the other species, ours included, may have descended from them.
They’ve mutated and evolved over their time and now exist in many forms.
The main race of Arcturians stands to about 5' with green skin and large eyes that can see right through you.
Just like most nerds, this race’s development of their minds rather than their bodies made them small in stature so you could probably take one of them in a fist fight however their advanced intelligence means that if any alien species out there knows how to use The Force from Star Wars, it’s these guys so watch out.
Thankfully they do have a reputation for being the most kind and loving beings in the galaxy so if you manage to piss of them off then you must be a douche bag of galactic proportions.
The Nordics
The Nordics look like Norse Gods, blonde with brilliant blue eyes and the bodies of 6' tall, finely toned athletes.
You can see where the Scandinavian’s got their inspiration for Thor from.
The Greys got a lot of attention when it comes to alien sightings but the Nordics are a species that come into contact with humans almost as much as they do.
None the less they are more interested in the well being of the human race than the Greys are, even though some eyewitness reports claim to have seen Nordics in the same alien craft as Greys.
A possible explanation for this is that those Greys were slaves or servants to the Nordics as a Greys lack of empathy makes it an ideal butler.
The Pleiadians
The Pleiadians come from a bright star cluster known as the Pleiades and are one of the beings in the Milky Way that closely resemble humans.
They are thought to be one of the alien races in contact with Earth, therefore you could be sitting in a room with one right now and not even know it.
A major difference between us and them is that they are particularly sensitive to the psychic energies that are constantly streaming across the universe.
This means that the best way of reaching out to one of them would be by concentrating on sending out psychic messages.
Put simply, if you really want to meet up with a Pleiadian for a cup of tea or a few brews, just sit down and meditate on it.
Whether they choose to show up or not depends on how much they’re feeling your psychic energy so sending messages like:
Get your interstellar butts over here, now.
Are unlikely to work out well for you.
The Yahyel
There’s been a lot a talk about which race will be the first to officially disclose their presence to Earthlings.
The one that alien experts, assuming that you can call them that, all seem to agree on is the Yahyel.
This is one of the alien races in contact with Earth and is known to be kind and loving and they have been touted as the best beings to make first contact with us due to their advanced and harmonious relationship with technology, something that we here on Earth are having a little trouble balancing out.
Whenever a new invention comes about we weaponize it first, feed the hungry second.
The Yahyel know that we’re not the friendliest beings out there so they’re taking their time to make themselves known by easing their way in to our psyches with friendly UFO sightings such as the March 1997 sighting known as the Phoenix Lights, that they claim responsibility for.
During that event they gave thousands of people across the State of Arizona in North America a spectacular light show in the sky and there’s even video for anybody who missed it.
The Anunnaki
If human beings were able to successfully colonize another planet what would be the first thing we’d do?
Pillage it for resources of course, which is exactly what the Anunnaki did when they arrived on Earth.
They came from Planet X, aka Nibiru, an almost mythical planet that some scientists believe rotates around our Sun on a very wide elliptical orbit that takes it far out into the expanses of space before coming back in for a close shave with our Sun.
This crazy elliptical orbit is what makes its presence so hard to prove however the presence of the Anunnaki has been noted down in texts that date back to Mesopotamian cultures.
They are believed to be one of the alien races in contact with Earth.
Anyway, on Nibiru’s last brush with the planets of the inner solar system it crashed into another rock and the resulting collision created a planet that we now call Earth.
While their planet was here a few of the Anunnaki hopped off of their world and onto ours in search of a yellow element that they covet called gold.
Have you ever wondered why gold is so valuable?
Yeah, it’s shiny but it doesn’t do anything useful like heal the sick or produce energy so why do we as a species desire it so much?
We desire it because the Anunnaki desire it, and while they were here they enlisted us as their work force to mine it for them.
That’s right, our entire existence is based on working our socks off every day so that our alien overloads can have their fix of gold and other precious metals.
Isn’t that grand?
Alpha Draconians
The Anunnaki was one of the alien races in contact with Earth are were not the first race involved in the racket of mining minerals on our little blue planet.
Before them came the Alpha Draconians.
Standing at up to 22' tall these bad ass beings are made up of pure muscle and resembled dinosaurs or dragons.
As you can imagine, they were very unhappy when the Anunnaki showed up and took over, none the less they are still active on our planet with puppets placed in the high echelons of government as they bide their time in an attempt to take over once again.
The Reptilians
Before the Anunnaki stopped by and genetically engineered a bipedal workforce to dig up dirt for them, there was a race of intelligent beings who lived here and is thought to be one of the alien races in contact with Earth.
We know them as the Reptilians.
Scaly and standing to about the size of a human being, they were driven underground by the Anunaki where they are said to still reside today in a network of complex underground tunnels.
Those that are open minded and curious may be able to find these tunnels and pop in for a visit, however considering that we’re the reason that they can’t come up for a breath of fresh air, it’s likely that they’ll skin you alive and leave you’re skeleton on a stick hanging outside of the entrance as a warning to any other scaleless punks who decide to invade their territory, You’ve been warned.
Nommos
Some alien species chose to interact with certain tribes on Earth that they just happened to get along with better.
The Scandinavians had the Nordics and the Dogon’s, a tribe indigenous to Mali in Northern Africa had the Nommos who hailed from the brightest star in our night sky, Sirius.
The Dogons knew centuries before modern science caught up that Sirius is actually made up of 3 stars and they even knew how long it took for Sirius B to go around Sirius A.
Considering that they were millennia away from inventing devices powerful enough to see Sirius close up, it makes sense that they had visitors from that section of the galaxy who told them about it.
Sananda/Jesus Christ, is the commander the Ashtar Galactic Command flying saucer fleet.
The Airborne Division of the Brotherhood of Light.
In addition, Lourene Altieri has revealed the names of and channelled information from some of the other prominent beings who she says travel with Commander Sananda, Pallas Athena, Ashtar, and Vrillon on the saucers of the Ashtar Galactic Command flying saucer fleet.
These include:
Aleph Nero, who's the main commander.
Aaron Alaje James, sub-commander of one of the wings of the fleet, working with a human from Earth, known as Miss Megan Sebastian who is visiting Earth to raise the consciousness of humanity and uplift the vibrations of Planet Gaia and Agartha.
Also known as Megha or Meg from Alcorn, contributing to Stability and Peace over the Planet Om, and the Princess/Prayer Maiden of the Planet Anova.
Korton, captain of the flying saucer, the fleet communications officer in charge of maintaining subspace communications for the fleet.
Esola, captain of the flying saucer Starship #77.
Merku, of the planet Alcorn, subcommander of one of the wings of the fleet.
Soltec, captain of the geophysics science survey flying saucer Phoenix.
Voltra, the space psychologist, who monitors the vibratory level of humanity.
Kla-La, master of force dynamics.
Hatonn, who monitors events on Earth for the Galactic Hall of Records at the galactic core and the Lady Master Athena, the twin flame, celestial wife, of the Maha Chohan, Altieri teaches that the Lady Master Athena often personally accompanies Commander Sananda on board his command flying saucer.
Blue Avians
These types of aliens, also known as the Space Alliance, have been known since Ancient Egypt and have even been said to be involved in the construction of some of Ancient Egypt's architecture.
They are 8' tall and have a resemblance to a blue humanoid bird.
They tend to speak telepathically and tend to make introductions through dreams using a form of sign language.
They may even use light through physical touch to communicate as well.
They will typically make physical contact after they have been invited to appear in the physical reality.
They use a blue sphere as a form of transportation and can teleport at will to Earth.
Unlike with various other different alien species, they do not abduct humans and do not seem to have any intention on invasion.
They tend to simply want open conversations with people, acting as guides to human ascension and spiritual evolution.
