Speculation, theory, UFOs and Aliens. Are we alone in this universe or is there life outside Earth?
Here There Be Giants
“Control! Control! Come in, Mission Control!” Co-pilot Scott Card was on the bounce, standing beside Comm Officer Starling’s console. He was on the comm instead of her because Starling was leaning over in her chair dead from the last strike the transporter ship had taken. Frantically, the co-pilot kept trying, “Damn it, Control! This is SS4398TC MOYA calling in an SOS!”

Planet 187. Runner-Up in Future Fragments Challenge.
It was two thousand fifty, and the technology for universal exploration had just been built. I was on a solo mission to search for a lost pilot, and I was supposed to land on Xenosolaris to search for him and recover his lost spaceship, but a meteorite has stuck my ship and caused me to crash land on an unnamed planet just called planet 187 instead. I’m just glad there was a planet to stand between me and my ascent into nothingness.

The Terrarium Anomaly. Content Warning.
It’s 2050. Plant life was struggling to survive on earth with an excess of pollution, and in 2032 there were three hundred giant Terrariums, some camouflaged as planets, each full of every life form on earth except for humans, sent into space. This was all done by billionaire philanthropist Robert Watkins, who’s family had benefitted from oil drilling back when gas powered cars were king. Now he owned several solar power plants, wind farms and eco-friendly rental properties he called his “tree houses,” or houses that were covered in trees. His space terrarium's were his way of fixing the sins of his family. He

The Observers
Somewhere in a top secret underground facility, a young man sits in a comfortable leather recliner. His eyes are closed. He is extremely relaxed, almost sleeping. He's not. The intense darting eyes under the thin skin of closed lids give him away. He's working. He's playing an integral part of a very important and groundbreaking experiment.

Researchers find a new indication of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
Researchers may have found evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. They discovered a plain in the northern hemisphere that is 1,800 miles wide and contains the ideal subsurface conditions for life.
