Area 51

[image error] Area 51. It's the most famous military institution in the world that doesn't officially exist. If it did, it would be found about 100 miles outside Las Vegas in Nevada's high desert, tucked between an Air Force base and an abandoned nuclear testing ground.

Then again, maybe not-- the U.S. government refuses to say. You can't drive anywhere close to it, and until recently, the airspace overhead was restricted--all the way to outer space. Any mention of Area 51 gets redacted from official docum...

Insecure Writers Support Group and Mr. Linky

[image error] First up: The Insecure Writers Support Group My main insecurity this month is not that aliens will abduct me. Rather, with my alien mini-series in mid-stride, it’s that the Men In Black are reading this blog, I accidently expose something I shouldn’t, and they show up at my front door to take me away:

Alien Mini Series: Possible Ways For Life To Reach Earth

[image error] Sure, we are aware of the typical ways Hollywood allows for alien life to reach Earth. Wormholes cut across the vast reaches of space. Hyperdrive allows a spaceship to travel faster than the speed of light by passing through hyperspace.
But there are some realistic ways that science-fiction authors, more than Hollywood, will use. Panspermia: the hypothesis that life exists throughout the universe distributed by meteors, asteroids, and planetoids.
Panspermia: proposes life is ejected into spac...
