Are we afraid of all that is alien to us? Philosophers and sociologists have discussed this question extensively in relation to the clash of cultures. However, no one has applied it so far to the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors. And yet such an inquiry appears perfectly reasonable: there are to the best of our knowledge millions of habitable planets in our galaxy; each year millions of dollars are spent on looking for signs of intelligent life in outer space. And if we consider the time scales of the universe, it makes sense to assume that these civilisations are millions of years older than humankind and have developed to a level far beyond our imagination.
Some scientists say that interstellar space travel is
impossible due to the vast distances to be covered. According to Bernhard
Pröschold, this argument is rooted in cultural presuppositions. Every human
culture on Earth is called into question by anything foreign – “alien” – to it.
And western culture in particular has often been unable to deal with anything
that is “radically different” other than by seeking to control it. European
colonial conquerors sought to resolve this challenge to their own worldview by
subjugating and enslaving non-European cultures. This general strategy has
remained in place in the era of space travel: either We discover Them – or they
do not exist.
The term “UFO” has proven useful to keep the
extraterrestrial hypothesis out of public and scientific discourse. In order to
identify something we have to compare it to something that is already known.
However, it is impossible to learn anything new that way. Even worse: popular
culture has turned the UFO issue into a modern myth that fits seamlessly into
the realm of conspiracy theories and pseudo science. According to Bernhard
Pröschold this kind of marginalisation has just one purpose: to banish any
confrontation with the “radical other” from public and scientific discourse.
PARÉIDOLIE
A Bear on Mars?
This feature looks a bit like a bear’s face. What is it
really?
There’s a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (the
nose), two craters (the eyes), and a circular fracture pattern (the head). The
circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a
buried impact crater. Maybe the nose is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit
could be lava or mud flows?
Maybe just grin and bear it. (Check out the stereo
anaglyph!)

Firestorm Dr. James E. McDonald's Fight For UFO Science
by Ann Druffel
With this landmark work, Ann Druffel places McDonald
clearly where he belongs among the great pioneers of Ufology
"We often hear "why don't scientists of renown
take UFOs seriously?" Atmospheric physicist James E. McDonald was just
such a scientist — and he did take UFOs seriously. And now for the first time
we learn the inside story of his struggles, failures and triumphs in this
stirring biography, deftly researched and superbly written by well-respected
researcher Ann DrufFel on the basis of complete access to his private files.
Whether the reader be a skeptic, an nthusiast, or simply curious, Druffel's
riveting account of McDonald's challenge to the government and scientific
communities is a significant chapter in the UFO debate that must not be missed!
