Carl Sagan's Cosmos : A Personal Voyage is a classic 13 Episode TV series, far more than a guided tour through "billions and billions" of stars and galaxies. It remains a profound plea for the unity of humankind, for the recognition that "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself," with a deep inner quest to know our origins, our place in the universe, and our future potential.

In the course of 13 fascinating hours, Cosmos spans its own galaxy of topics to serve Sagan's theme, each segment deepening our understanding of how we got from there (simple microbes in the primordial mud) to here (space-faring civilization in the 21st century). In his "ship of the imagination," Sagan guides us to the farthest reaches of space and takes us back into the history of scientific inquiry, from the ancient library of Alexandria to the NASA probes of our neighboring planets. Upon this vast canvas Sagan presents the "cosmic calendar," placing the 15-billion-year history of the universe into an accessible one-year framework, then filling it with a stunning chronology of events, both interstellar and earthbound.

From the lives of the stars to creation theories, functions of the human brain, and the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Cosmos asks big questions. When appropriate, Sagan offers big answers, or asks still bigger ... and yes, even spiritual questions at the boundaries of science and religion. What's most remarkable about Cosmos is that it remains almost entirely fresh, with few updates needed to the science that Sagan so passionately celebrates. It is no exaggeration to say that Cosmos, for all the debate it may continue to provoke, is a vital document for humanity at a pivotal crossroads of our history.

In an age of quick information exchange and free knowledge sharing, the media too is quickly evolving with the changing times ... The Herald, a local newspaper in Goa recently published this brilliant article by Anil Pandey called 'Symbols of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence' which shares interesting information about creation, extra terrestrial origins of humanity, SETI, the Mayans, Crop Circles, Cycles of Time, 2012 ...

'Symbols of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence' ... by Anil Pandey

If we accept that the UFOs exist we would be admitting that extra terrestrial intelligent life forms are a reality. While the science admits that in this vast universe with billions of galaxies, it is more than possible that intelligent life may exist not only in other galaxies but in our own Milky Way itself. We have recently found water on moon and near pure water in a Mars crater.

Ancient Sumerians have left evidence that they were taught civilization by some beings they called Annunaki - Those who from heaven to the Earth came - Sumerians left their history on clay tablets and one of them clearly depicts the solar system in correct order, including Pluto and Uranus which were discovered not more than two hundred years ago.

Zecharia Sitchin in command of many languages with cuneiform deciphering skills who has conducted primary research of ancient history and has written several books gives compelling evidence that earth had space ports in ancient times and we had visitors from other planets. Without investigating further some people tend to dismiss UFOs, Eric Von Daniken and countless other researchers who have found enough evidence which points to extraterrestrial visitors on this planet in ancient times. But Sitchin is well aware of this and bases his arguments on solid scholarship, including the most rigorous translations of Sumerian text, Vedic tales and excerpts from the original Greek and Hebrew versions of the Bible.

According to Sitchin our Solar System has another planet which the Sumerians called Nibiru which has a 3600 year orbit around the sun, and we are visited by the Annunaki, the beings that inhabit this planet when it enters our solar system.

SETI project, Search for Extra Terrstrial Intelligence had sent a Arecibo message created by Dr. Frank Drake with help from Carl Sagan and others, aimed at the globular cluster M13 some 25,000 light years away. The message sent on 16th November 1974 consists of seven parts about basic information of life on earth and was beamed into space via frequency modulated radio waves.

There are many who are convinced that we have received answers from the depths of outer space in the form of crop circles in replies that are encoded in binary digits similar to what we had transmitted into outer space. So much interest was generated in these spectacular formations that the servers of the websites hosting the information buckled due to excessive traffic.


Wonders of our ancient history and heritage also hint of visitations of extra-terrestrial intelligent beings. Historians cannot with any measure of honest scholarship explain that how on earth some our grandest monuments like the Pyramids of Giza, Angkor Wat and the Pyramid of Chichenitza embody very advanced knowledge of astronomy and engineering at a time when classical historians tell us that we had only copper tools and the wheel had not been invented.

Researcher Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval have done extensive work of studying these monuments and there research concludes that these monuments are handiwork of a very advanced race with knowledge of Astronomy, Advanced Engineering, Mathematics and technology which we were not supposed to possess according to classical historians. Three pyramids of Giza precisely mimic the star map of the Belt of Orion and Angkor Wat is a terrestrial map of star constellation Alpha Draconis. There beauty grandeur and precise engineering of these monuments tells us they had a definite purpose which evades us.

It is now commonly believed that sites like Stonehenge in the UK and comparable sites around the world were like gigantic observatories to keep track of the precessional movement of the earth's axis, as every 72 years the Earth's axis precesses by one degree and 26000 years complete one full cycle and the end of the cycle augurs massive earth changes. How could the ancient ones keep measure of such a slow and barely discernible movement of Earth's axis?

From where did Mayans get their astronomical knowledge that they could predict the 1991 Solar Eclipse over Mexico City while the civilization had disappeared a thousand years ago? And why does the Mayan Calendar end on the Winter Solstice of 2012 which today we know as a date when a special astronomical event that happens only once every 26000 years ... when the centre of the milky way galaxy, the Sun and the Earth will come in perfect alignment. If this event will affect gravity, it will also affect time as both are interrelated. Who gave Mayans complex and advanced knowledge of movements of planets ?

The possibility that we have been visited in the past by extra terrestrial beings has to be thought of with an open mind as our ancient history certainly points to anomalously advanced ancient knowledge. In the same breath we can say the possibility that UFOs exist also has to be taken with an open mind as every thousands of reports are filed from all continents from people of all walks of life.

The next article will be devoted to Giza Pyramids as a reflection of extra-terrestrial intelligence. Wait and watch, sorry read ...

Alien Contact is a documentary on SETI (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence). Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is the collective name for a number of activities people undertake to search for extraterrestrial life.

SETI projects use scientific methods to search for electromagnetic transmissions from civilizations on distant planets. The United States government contributed to earlier SETI projects, but recent work has been primarily funded by private sources”, quoted from Wikipedia.

For thousands of years mankind has been intrigued by the possible existence of other life forms in our forever expanding universe. Tales of flying machines from the Mayans and ancient manuscripts on advanced Aerodynamics discovered in India are historic testimony to the presence of superior intelligent life traversing Earth for thousands of years. In an infinite universe with uncountable stars and planetary formations, I believe that the universe has always existed and we've all come from the Stars. ( We are all Star Stuff !)



With the Earth moving closer to the Sun and all the mounting chaos we've brought to our living existence, the need to reach out to someone higher is even more stronger this time around ! The crowded 3rd planet in one corner of the vast expanse of space is getting a wee bit lonely now. There is got to be more to this, than what we already know. I tend to get a little spaced out with my thoughts most of the time and somehow manage to get lost in all the inter twirled imagery my varying consciousness brings forth. The imaginative make reality more probable ! I guess I'd rather keep an open mind than stall within the affirmative.



For years since Roswell, the SETI ( Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence ) has been scrambling radio signals into outer space in hope of a reply from some distant life force. All they've received so far, are radio waves from some distant supernova or an intergalactic war zone ! We have been looking far out in space for signs of life in hope to find astounding reflections of our own mortal realities. To finally be able to make something last ! Maybe the answers we seek have flown right into our habitat and we remain clueless, in denial of the truth. We need to look no further and somehow be able to reach conclusive evidence through filtering information we are constantly bombarded with. What's out there is also in here ! On myriad journeys through our consciousness we create our world, our reality in quest for knowledge.


I hope the Aliens understand "Across the Universe" by The Beatles, being beamed into the atmosphere by Nasa on the 4th of Feb, 2008 at 7 pm. Happens to be exactly 40 years since the Fab Four recorded it in 1968. The search for extra-terrestrial life has reached your desktop with SETI@home... SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. Telepathic communication on a free to do basis is always an option with these mysterious beings from the other side. We are to be soon contacted by these entities aboard the infamous Mothership ! Maybe there IS a Santa Claus after all !!!



The presence of dark matter and an invisible universe makes the probing even more intense !

The search is on with the strength couple of notches higher ...
