• Dr Peter Hatfield of the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford told the audience at the British Science Festival, hosted by the University of Warwick, that an Oxford study shows that 55 per cent of men want to reach out to extraterrestrials, compared to 47 per cent of women.

• A Survation poll revealed that 11% of those polled favored a global referendum on the matter of seeking extraterrestrial contact. But it if there were a planet-wide vote, the majority of the 2,000 people surveyed said they would want to initiate contact.

• Hatfield told the crowd, “No-one knows if or when we will receive a message from extraterrestrials, but astronomers are listening – and it could happen any time.” One scientist who spoke at the event said that there was a 10% chance that contact with aliens could take place in the next 10 years.

• The study also compared Brits who favor ET contact with Brits who favor Brexit. Those who favored Britain staying within the EU – 66% – also favored initiating contact with ETs.

• According to the study, if we do receive a message from outer space, the public seems to have more confidence in scientists having a key role in the decision-making process of potentially replying, than politicians. Dr Hatfield says that scientists give a ten percent chance, on average, that humans will make contact with extraterrestrials within the next 100 years.

• Dr Leah Trueblood, from the Department of Law at the University of Oxford, said that the number of people responding with “I don’t know” suggests that the public is open-minded and open to persuasion. “[B]eing open to persuasion is good news” says Trueblood. “It’s also fascinating that most our responses were in favour of contacting aliens. Those surveyed are clearly much braver than me.” “[T]his is a hugely frightening prospect.”

• There is currently no international law setting out the protocol for making contact with extraterrestrials. In March 1996, the International Academy of Astronautics published a post-detections protocol which stated: “No response to a signal or other evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence should be sent until appropriate international consultations have taken place.”

• [Editor’s Note] Yes, don’t worry all of you frightened, simple-minded civilians; the Deep State scientists – who are trained to deny the obvious extraterrestrial presence – have everything under control… so long as those paychecks keep coming.

Men are more enthusiastic about speaking to aliens than women, new research from the University of Oxford has revealed.

Announced at the British Science Festival hosted by the University of Warwick, the data said that 55 per cent of men want to reach out to extraterrestrials, compared to just 47 per cent of women.

Eleven per cent of those polled by Survation even said they would want a global referendum on the matter.

And, if it was left to a planet-wide vote, the majority of the 2,000 people surveyed said they would want to initiate contact.

Only 14 per cent would not want to initiate contact with aliens, though nine per cent wouldn’t vote and 11 per cent would not know what to do.

One scientist, who spoke at the event, even said that there was a 10 per cent chance contact with aliens could take place in the next 10 years.

Perhaps a sign of the public’s distrust in politicians, Brits would also pick scientists over MPs to decide what to do.

Interestingly, positions on Brexit also influenced whether people would want to initiate contact with aliens or not.
They survey also looked at the differences between Brexit voters.

Those who voted to Remain were more likely to vote to initiate contact than those who voted to Leave, at 66 per cent and 54 per cent respectively.

Dr Peter Hatfield, from the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, said: ‘No-one knows if or when we will receive a message from extraterrestrials, but astronomers are listening – and it could happen any time.

Alien Abductions and Climate Change

• Dr. Young-hae Chi is a Korean instructor at the University of Oxford in England. Chi has linked the growing number of alien abductees to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases and concluded that extraterrestrials are producing human/alien hybrids to create a new model of homo sapiens that can better withstand the rigors of a hotter planet.

• Dr. Chi draws heavily from Dr. David Jacobs, a retired Temple University historian who has published several books in the field of Ufology and who also runs the International Center for Abduction Research. Jacobs has interviewed over a thousand abductees, using hypnotic regression that apparently allows them to recall their encounters with aliens.

• According to polls over the last few years, between 2 and 6 percent of the American citizenry – millions of folks – claim to have been abducted by aliens. And this number is rising. And these abductees often report being forced to participate in breeding programs.

• Dr. Chi says that these hybrid extraterrestrial beings have long lived among us, and are largely indistinguishable from humans. “The first generation hybrids still have physical features distinctive to aliens. But from the second generation … they have almost indistinguishable bodily features from those of humans, although they may still carry at least one fourth of alien genes,” says Chi.

• [Editor’s Note] Once again, disinformation is coming from Dr. Chi and the deep state sanctuary at the University of Oxford in England. Now it’s heat-tolerant alien-human hybrids taking over the planet. The more absurd the “information” coming from the supposed “experts”, the more that the typically uninformed citizenry will tend to dismiss any information regarding an extraterrestrial presence. And this is precisely the deep state’s objective.

Polls made in the last few years indicate that somewhere between 2 and 6 percent of the American citizenry – millions of folks – claim to have been abducted by aliens.

The experience is apparently not pleasant. The extraterrestrial captors are said to lead victims into their saucers, lay them out on a table, and extract sperm from the men and impregnate the women. It’s all in the interest of unauthorized breeding experiments.

If you’re familiar with UFO lore, you know that the usual explanations for these tasteless activities are that either (1) the aliens are in a reproductive bind on their home world – they can no longer successfully procreate, so have come to Earth to use humans as incubators to spawn alien offspring, or (2) they’re producing hybrid beings that will somehow help the extraterrestrials take over the planet.

An instructor of Korean at the University of Oxford in England, Dr. Young-hae Chi, believes that the abductions are real. But he also claims to know what the aliens have in mind. They’re creating alien-human hybrids as a hedge against climate change.

To support his unorthodox theory, Chi notes that for several decades the number of reported alien abductions has risen. He bases this statement on the work of Dr. David Jacobs, a retired Temple University historian who has published several books in the field of Ufology. Jacobs also runs ICAR, the International Center for Abduction Research. He has interviewed more than a thousand abductees, using hypnotic regression that apparently allows them to recall their unearthly encounters with aliens. (Jacobs himself admits that people should be skeptical of these recollections.)

Chi takes the claims at face value, and links the growing number of abductees cataloged by Jacobs to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. He doesn’t imply a cause and effect: The abduction experiment is not responsible for global warming. Rather, it’s a reaction to it. The extraterrestrials are producing hybrids that can better withstand the rigors of a toastier planet. By producing a new model of Homo sapiens, this project would eliminate the need for difficult climate accords or elaborate geoengineering projects. It would also help the aliens themselves – who are said to be living among us – by preserving the part of their DNA that’s carried by the temperature-tolerant hybrids.

Humans Are Likely Alone in the Universe, Study Concludes

• A new study entitled ‘Dissolving the Fermi Paradox’, by Oxford University researcher Anders Sandberg, and reported to Universetoday.com, concludes that we are the only intelligent life in the known universe.

• The Oxford research team used the famous Fermi paradox as the basis for their study. The Fermi paradox looks at the contradiction between the high probability of existence of alien civilizations and the overwhelming lack of evidence we’ve found since starting to scan the stars. The researchers incorporated new elements into the paradox equation, such as bias and uncertainty, and determined that the paradox’ conclusions of a small chance of other intelligent life existing in the universe was not accurate. Their conclusion is that we are completely alone in the universe.

• In the report goes on to say that even if we did somehow stumble across aliens, they may not be intelligent ones. “When the model is recast to represent realistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial ex ante probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observable universe, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detect any signs of it,” the team wrote.

• Bottom line: time to go back to those X-Files re-runs on Netflix because that’s the closest we’re going to get to any sort of alien encounter at the moment.

• [Editor’s Note] The only thing that this new study reveals, with certainty, is that the University of Oxford in England is a Deep State stronghold, spewing copious volumes of disinformation. These mainstream scientific “researchers” use pseudo-scientific intellectual gibberish to mask their stunningly ignorant “conclusion” that there is no other intelligent life in the universe except for our own. Perhaps puppet scientists and researchers, such as Anders Sandberg, should focus on a different issue: whether their kind will have any place in our scientific community once the existence of innumerable alien species throughout our galaxy, and even our historic and continuing interaction with many of them, is finally disclosed to the public. Let’s hope not.

In a new study published online they conclude that we are the only intelligent life in the known universe. The team used the famous Fermi paradox as the basis for their study. The paradox looks at the contradiction between the high probability of existence of alien civilisations and the overwhelming lack of evidence we’ve found since starting to scan the stars.

The researchers took the paradox, which was developed in the first half of the 20th century, then incorporated new elements such as bias and uncertainty. In a nutshell, they reckon it’s not as accurate as previously thought. The report is entitled ‘Dissolving the Fermi Paradox,’ and the researchers come to the conclusion we’re very much alone in the known galaxy. ”One can answer the Fermi Paradox by saying intelligence is very rare, but then it needs to be tremendously rare,’ said Anders Sandberg, a researcher at Oxford University and a lead author of the study. ‘Another possibility is that intelligence doesn’t last very long, but it is enough that one civilization survives for it to become visible,’ he told Universetoday.com.

In the report, the researchers go on to say that even if we did somehow stumble across aliens, they may not be intelligent ones. ‘When the model is recast to represent realistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial ex ante probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observable universe, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detect any signs of it,’ the team wrote.

‘This result dissolves the Fermi paradox, and in doing so removes any need to invoke speculative mechanisms by which civilizations would inevitably fail to have observable effects upon the universe.’ Bottom line: time to go back to those X-Files re-runs on Netflix because that’s the closest we’re going to get to any sort of alien encounter at the moment.
