Have astronomers finally found evidence of intelligent found life beyond Earth?
A photo of ‘doorway’ on Mars shows how ready our minds are to see significance and signs of life in the natural world.
This year, two groups of astronomers plan to send messages containing information about humans and the location of Earth toward parts of space they think may be home to intelligent life.
Astronomers hunting extraterrestrials were excited to discover an intriguing signal, but closer inspection has revealed it wasn’t aliens.
Organic human-level intelligence may be just a brief interlude in human history before the machines take over.
Can the Galileo Project find alien technology?
A new nine-page report, requested by Congress, doesn’t say what the 144 UFO sightings from 2004 to 2021 are, but does say that the government wants to learn more.
No conclusive evidence that extraterrestrial life exists has been found…yet.
A new study argues we should search for microbial life rather than human-like aliens.
There’s a good reason why so many scientists disagree with claims that Earth has been visited by aliens.
One way forward would be to abandon the traditional approach of using single-dish telescopes for SETI.
We asked astronomers: are we alone in the Universe? The answer was surprisingly consistent

'I think that we will discover life outside of Earth in my lifetime. If not that, then in your lifetime,' one astronomer told us.
Scientists can’t expect the unexpected if they’re not open-minded about how their theories might be wrong.
The Universe is mind-bogglingly large and with the latest technology, the search is only just starting to heat up.
As more than a million people have indicated plans to partake in a citizen ‘raid’ on the famed Area 51 to ‘see them aliens,’ a scholar on the search for extraterrestrial life weighs in on the hype.
Life could exist in another solar system in a different part our galaxy. Or in another galaxy far away. We don’t have the perfect technology yet to study such far away places but we’re still trying.
Using AI to search for ET might help us find things we couldn’t even imagine we should look for, but to succeed we also have think critically about how we create and use that technology.
New research may help us to look for messages from alien civilisations.
Scientists looking for signs of alien life from the mystery object passing through our Solar system say they’ve found nothing “so far”.
