extraterrestrial
Speculation, theory, UFOs and Aliens. Are we alone in this universe or is there life outside Earth?
Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us (HETLAU)
Life has always been present on other Planets. The reason Earthlings are having such a difficult time realizing this is the way they originated and the events that followed were scripted or designed to prevent them from realizing this.

Breaking News—Evidence of Alien Life Has Been Found!
Have our hopes and dreams finally become a reality? Have we finally discovered that alien life really does exist? The answer: no, we haven't... Not yet at least. We have yet to hear a truthful and scientifically proven answer to that age-old fundamental question.

The World as We Know It (Pt. 1)
The world as we know it can be a fascinating place. A place where we can adventure into the unknown, and obviously that's where this is heading. Perhaps a space adventure that we take too far or a cross with a teen life story, who even knows?

Invasion Earth
Alien invasions of Earth have been a staple of science fiction storytelling since H.G. Wells. From then to today we have had stories of humanity versus an alien threat retold to us in many different ways. Many of us have almost always enjoyed these forays into human nature, but sometimes there is just something missing. There are occasions when the writers display a lack of thought into the science behind alien motivations in favour of a romp through science-fiction tropes, but to some of us—myself included—the science behind the whys and wherefores are just as important as the narrative on the whole.One of the most common reasons we see in fiction for aliens invading the Earth is territory; the act of taking our home world for themselves, wiping out us pesky natives in the process. On the surface, this seems to be a logical reason for the launching of an invasion and a believable one. Let's put aside the idea of using science-fiction as an analogue to explore real issues for a moment, and we can see this concept start to unravel. How? It comes down simply to the level of technology these aliens can employ. They're putting together an invasion force, and constructing the machines and/or equipment needed to do so. They also must have ships that are capable of transporting an entire population insanely long distances. Clearly, if they can put the resources into something like this and have the tech available to sustain themselves on such a journey, why would they not look at the prospect of space habitats? Is there a particular reason that they're unable to colonise a slightly less suitable world such as we are planning to do onMars.It would be far less effort for them to construct their own colonies in space or on worlds where the natives won't be a problem.

Why We Might Be Alone in the Universe
Are we the only living things in the universe? That is a scary question to think about. Our observable universe stretches out 90,000,000,000 light years in diameter containing 100,000,000,000 galaxies each with 100,000,000,000 stars. Recently we just found out that planets are very common too. So, there should be lots of opportunity for life to develop and exist, but where is it? Shouldn't the universe be teeming with spaceships? Even if there are any alien civilizations in other galaxies, there is no way we'll ever know about them. Anything that is outside of our galactic "Local Group" is pretty much out of our reach forever, because of how fast our universe is expanding. Even if we had science fiction technology that could make our spaceships travel at the speed of light, it would literally take billions of years to reach these places. Traveling through the emptiest places in the universe.

Conversations with an Alien
I came across a video I found on Youtube that caught my attention right away. I am a firm believer that there is another world outside of our world and possibly many more. Does this mean my faith is questioned? No, I still do believe in God very much, but I think that there is life among ours as well.

Abducted
I was being led through a long silver hallway. It was like I was sleepwalking. I had no control over my body. The floor felt cold beneath my bare feet as my body moved farther down the corridor. My footsteps echoed as I walked along the metal corridor, but they weren’t the only ones. Behind me I could hear the heavy clanking of metal against metal. I started to panic. I couldn't turn my head to see who was there and I couldn’t stop myself from walking. What was happening? Who was this person?

Alex the Inventor - Chapter 2
Read Books 1 & 2 at: Deep Sky Stories The Evil Not Yet Gone... Within the secret world of insects, there is harmony and cooperation in each of its communities. There is a hierarchy within each cooperative group as well where some serve others and the colony as a whole may also serve a single, ruling insect. However, it is also a world in which life and death struggles for survival and dominance occur. It has long been a known fact that every bee hive must have a Queen Bee in order to survive. The queen is served and fed by all the other bees and she, in turn, provides the hive with new offspring to continue their existence. The drone bees will defend their queen to the death against any outsiders who wish to invade the hive and it is also this vicious instinct which will prompt them to war with others of their kind. The Queen Bee is the ultimate figurehead of authority to these blindly obedient creatures. The bees constantly communicate among themselves to support their hive or to quietly declare war against another. In the wild, war is only declared where food or living space has become scarce, and it was for the latter that the Others declared war against Alex Faraway's people. The humans just didn't know it yet. The Others, both Flies and Spiders, had lain dormant inside their oil pods on the two moons of Mars, or nearly dead, lying scattered and buried under the cold Martian sand. Eons dragged by since their untimely defeat which was caused by the arrival of an unforeseen comet-world when they were on the brink of victory. The surprise attack against their Martian Masters had been all but successful up until that moment. The sudden arrival of the rogue planet and the resulting destruction caused heavy casualties equally among both Martians and Machines. Thus the Others, who survived stood themselves down, still and silent in the frigid and hostile world which Mars quickly became. In their virtual state of death, they were resigned to wait with long patience for a new change or opportunity to arrive. Ten thousand years later, with the ticking over of the 21st Century, a new dawn approached for them. The arrival of the first curious Earthers was a chance that was better than any of the creatures could have hoped for. They seized upon the arrival of the first remote rover vehicles, destroying them in full view of their cameras. The arrival of the excited and gullible Earthly explorers was almost immediate and enabled the cat-sized Flies, one-by-one, to be reborn and activated again. For the Flies, and especially for Zin, The Dreaded One, the best plan was also the simplest: allow the humans to re-activate them, then wait and rebuild until there were enough of their numbers to betray and destroy them.
