NASA has formed a new research team devoted to finding extraterrestrial life beyond Earth, and it’s officially called the “Center for Life Detection Science” (CLDS), and will be part of the agency’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. “The search for life beyond Earth cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach… to give ourselves the best shot at success, we need to develop tools and strategies that are tailored to detecting life in the unique conditions of other worlds, which are very different not only from Earth but also from each other,” said Tori Hoehler, the principal investigator of CLDS and a researcher at Ames.

Avi Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s Astronomy Department and friend of late theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, claims that the mysterious interstellar object Oumuamua is actually a spaceship sent be extraterrestrials, and it uses a solar sail for propulsion.

Astronomers from Harvard University have suggested that the mysterious cigar-shaped object, nicknamed ‘Oumuamua, meaning “a messenger that reaches out from the distant past” in Hawaiian, spotted tumbling through our solar system last year may have been an alien spacecraft sent to investigate Earth. “Oumuamua may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization,” they wrote in the paper, which has been submitted to the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

A number of mysterious boom have been reported in the US over the past 12-months, and to be more specific, there were 64 recorded incidents, with the majority heard on the east coast. Currently, researchers have no answer as to what is causing these sounds, but theories range from the Leonid shower meteorites exploding in the atmosphere to supersonic aircrafts. The most recent boom was heard over Alabama on November 14, and the noise shook houses as well as terrified locals. Authorities could not figure out the source of the noise, however, and have ruled out an explosion. Continue reading for two more videos and information.
