Yesterday, on January 17th, 2012, acclaimed particle physicist Professor Brian Cox made it clear on BBC2 that UFOs exist as some form of alien intelligence and could appear on earth at any time. There was, he said, no reason why they couldn’t.
He added that because of the likelihood that alien life was commonplace, people like us could be watching a programme like this somewhere in the universe.
Tonight, the programme delved slightly deeper into the subject of aliens.
Professor Paul Davies, who attended meetings of FSR [Flying Saucer Review] in his early days (source – former editor of Flying Saucer Review, Gordon Creighton) said aliens might not use words when trying to communicate with us. They might use mathematics or a physics-based approach instead.
Prof Cox picked up on this later and showed what a disk of information looked like that used maths and physics, not words, to explain information. It looked not unlike images from a maths lesson at school or university.
Another member of the programme’s panel answered the questions “What will aliens look like?” “If they were from a water world, like fish. From a gas giant, like flying whales,” was the response.
Another panel members said aliens would most likely have two eyes, “even if they were short and squat aliens.”
So, no great new ground was broken there, although the panel agreed that some species of aliens could have the ability to detect radio waves via their own biological bodies.
Views about aliens are also expressed in the new book “UFO – Strange Space on Earth”, by journalist and former editor of Flying Saucer Review, Paul Whitehead, and author and lecturer on the subject, George Wingfield, a popular and controversial speaker at UFO conferences in the US.
