A Big Lesson From The ‘Oumuamua Alienware Controversy - Big Think

Ardent anomalists are acquainted with Avi Loeb, Harvard astrophysicist known for grabbing headlines with maverick claims, but those claims never really pan out. Now Marcel Gleiser is taking Avi to task for a complete lack of skepticism on Loeb's part by declaring his hypothesis is the only hypothesis. Word of warning, things get kinda cringey for Loeb. But if you-know-who are out there and listening, Jonathon Keats proposes a 'Library Of The Great Silence' Inviting E.T. To Share Long-Term Survival Strategies with puny, planetbound races who have yet to break the warp barrier. One can only hope it's better moderated than Wikipedia considering its army of trolls and self-styled "guerilla skeptics" adding more noise to the tenuous signal.

Antarctica may have an example with its celebrated Blood Falls — How A Macabre Glacier May Help The Search For Extraterrestrial Life. But it probablly won't be life as we know it, notes Ryan Sprague. 'Til we step out among the stars, where will we point our radio and optical telescopes? Some Scientists Are Hunting For Alien Life Near The Heart Of The Milky Way considering the sheer density of stars in that direction. But have they found anything? That revelation is for Derya Ozdemir alone to reveal to you, gentle reader. (CS)
