It has now been on the verge of a social group past the first exoplanet in sphere roughly a Sun-like star was open by two Swiss astronomers brace in 1995. At the same time as as a consequence, planet-hunting astronomers control on that our starlit barred-spiral Indistinct Way Galaxy is relatively rather abundant over through a horrendous throng of such alien worlds--that are fast supervisor prolific than stars! For example quite a few of the a moment ago open exoworlds reliable persuasively familiar--resembling planets in our own Planetary System--others are so worried that they are nothing like doesn't matter what astronomers had ever traditional to see prior to their sincere discovery. In May 2014, an international cartel of planetary scientists announced their identification of yet newborn "eccentric" alien world--a gas giant that they open undeviating teach imaging, that circles its star roughly 2,000 grow old the Earth-Sun distance, world it a new record-holder among exoplanets!
The international cartel of scientists was led by University circles of Montreal in Canada researchers who detected and photographed the new alien world that dwells about 155 light-years from our Planetary Set of instructions. The planet, dubbed GU Psc b, now joins the subdued list of alien worlds that control been open by way of teach imaging. It circles roughly GU Psc, a through the ceiling parent that is three grow old smaller quantity gigantic than our Achiever, the Sun, and is to be found in the constellation Pisces. The cartel of planet-hunting scientists was led by Marie-Eve Naud, a doctoral apprentice in the Workforce of Physics at the University circles of Montreal. The international research cartel was able to detect this daring new world by combining comments from the Gemini Observatory, the Observatoire Mont-Megantic (OMM), the Canada-France-Hawaii Shrivel (CFHT), and the W.M. Keck Observatory.
Equally of the on the verge of marvelously great distance of GU Psc b from its lustrous parent-star, it takes throughout 80,000 Earth-years to originate a qualified orbit! The planetary scientists any took improve of the great distance among the exoplanet and its star to place images. By comparing images acquired in divergent wavelengths (pennant) from the OMM and CFHT, they were able to supplant in spotting the other world.
"Planets are to a large extent brighter each time viewed in infrared more or less than audible light, being their leave-taking leg is adornment compared to other stars. This allowed us to put GU Psc b," Naud explained in a May 13, 2014 Gemini Jam On its own.
A Armed forces OF Determined NEW WORLDS!
For hundreds of years, philosophers and scientists corresponding speculated that exoplanets twirled roughly wintry stars addition our Sun. At rest, they had no way of spotting them--or of experienced how prevalent they authorization be, or how equal they may well be to the planets of our own Planetary Set of instructions. A nature of unpromising claims of exoplanet identification were through in the 19th century--only to be finally rejected being other astronomers were not able to finalize these "discoveries".
The first, classic details of an exoplanet discovery came brace in 1992, through the identification of distinctive terrestrial-mass planets gyratory a safe abruptly through the ceiling carcass called a pulsar. Pulsars are the sad leftovers of gigantic stars that died thaw out, bursting supernova deaths. They are hurriedly spinning neutron stars, that burst out regular "lighthouse"-like beacons. All neutron stars are about the latitude of Chicago, but so abnormally safe that a teaspoon laden of neutron star be important weighs as to a large extent as distinctive skyscrapers. The pulsar planets are inspiration to be obnoxious worlds, covered in a constant flood of fatal radiation showering out appearing in Arrange from their extraordinary through the ceiling parent.
The first planet to be open in sphere roughly a Sun-like star came about three years vanguard, and it was a searing-hot, giant world. This is being the unusual affluent mode cast-off to spot exoplanets--the Doppler Annoy mode, sometimes supervisor playfully termed the "tremble" method--favors the identification of astrophysical planets hugging their through the ceiling parents in beneficially, comfortable, blazing orbits (hot Jupiters). Now, on the verge of twenty years vanguard, the identification of such exoplanets gyratory their parent-stars has favor on the verge of sheep.
Dr. Michel Mayor and Dr. Didier Queloz of the Geneva Observatory were the first planet-hunting scientists to originate the classic discovery of this wintry alien world orbiting a star like our own Sun. The planet, dubbed 51 Pegasi b (51 Peg b, for subdued), orbited its star, 51 Pegasi, at a pond 4,300,000 miles, which amounts to in simple terms a trivial split of the distance among our own Achiever and the ingoing planet in our Planetary System--Mercury. 51 Peg b was as gigantic as the gas-giant Jupiter--the largest planet in our Sun's family--and this consumed planetary scientists baffled. Before the discovery of 51 Peg b, astronomers inspiration that such giant planets may well in simple terms inhabit far from their parent-stars, in supervisor wintry and colder regions, such as the outer surface restrictions of our own Planetary Set of instructions anywhere the four gaseous giant planets--Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune--twirl roughly our Achiever in majestic and neurotic mystery.
But 51 Peg b circled its star in the least 4.2 Earth-days!
51 Peg b lined the way for the discovery of a lead into of exoplanets, any eerily handy and austerely shifty. It was the first of an exactly new and out of the blue class of exoplanets to be spotted by baffled scientists. Repeated other contact hot Jupiters were detected after the classic discovery of 51 Peg b--as well as a nature of other worried worlds.
The tight, but extremely affluent, 600 million Kepler spacecraft was sent summit appearing in Arrange on Walk 7, 2009 from End Canaveral, Florida. Unfortunately, it came to a the first part of end in May 2013, each time the exhibit of its four orientation-maintaining reaction wheels smoldering effective. Nonetheless, a day after this extremely loaded planet-finding shoot on, Kepler scientists are smooth sifting undeviating a horrendous spoils trove of data provided by that immense space observatory.
(adsbygoogle = gap.adsbygoogle []).run for election();
In the company of 2009 and 2013, Kepler exactly watched about 150,000 Sun-like stars dancing roughly in our Galaxy--monitoring them for alterations in their brightnesses less important from the transit of a planet in front line of their obvious faces.
At persevere, roughly 1800 alien planets control been discovered--with 1790 exoplanets household in the families of 1110 planetary systems, together with 460 complex planetary systems.
The Kepler shoot space psychoanalyst bagged a few thousand gofer alien worlds--but about 11% of these may well be false-positives. Acquaint with are at bare minimum 100 billion planets inhabiting our sturdy, shimmering Indistinct Way, through at bare minimum one planet on open-minded per parent-star. Our Galaxy any hosts possibly trillions of mischief planets, which are exoplanets not reduce to any star. Roque planets--sometimes called soul planets--are inspiration to control been suddenly expelled from their planetary systems covet ago, and were correspondingly doomed to wander lost and associate undeviating the boondocks of interstellar space through no through the ceiling associations to stay on the line their own.
Possibly as copious as 1 in 5 Sun-like stars lead into Earth-sized exoplanets household all the rage the habitable zones of their stars. The habitable zone is that Goldilocks borough roughly a star anywhere it is not too hot, not too coldhearted, but tetragon sincere for life-sustaining water to exist in its inestimable and wonderful liquid state. Where introduce is liquid water, introduce is the secure for life as we recount it to exist. Acquaint with may well well be as copious as 40 billion Earth-sized alien worlds gyratory all the rage the habitable zones of Sun-like stars and red dwarfs all the rage our Galaxy--11 billion of these grueling exoplanets may be gyratory Sun-like stars. Red dwarf stars are the least, as well as the most abundant, of examine stars inhabiting our Indistinct Way Galaxy.
Dr. Gfrey W. Marcy, occurrence of the Watson and Marilyn Alberts Manage in the Follow For Space Brainpower at the University circles of California, Berkeley is one of the original--as well as the most prolific--of planet-hunting astronomers. Dr. Marcy noted in a May 12, 2014 New York Grow old viewers that "All my life I've sharp telescopes at stars not experienced if planets were introduce are not. Now we recount."
Dr. Marcy is being mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Desirable.
Novel "Quality" CIRCLES A Snobbish Achiever
Marie-Eve Naud and her international cartel of planet-hunting astronomers were interfering roughly GU Psc being the star had tetragon been identified as a member of the raw through the ceiling group called AB Doradus. Daughter stars, of the kindhearted age of in simple terms 100 million years or so, are excellent targets for planetary identification undeviating teach imaging being the exoplanets gyratory roughly them are smooth in the control of cooling off, and are consequently brighter being they are smooth more or less translucent. This does not mean, despite the fact that, that exoplanets equal to GU Psc b exist in sturdy result. Dr. Etiene Artigau, co-supervisor of Naud's rag and an astrophysicist at the University circles of Montreal, explained in the May 12, 2014 Gemini Jam On its own that "We observed supervisor than 90 stars and found in simple terms one planet, so this is extremely an prohibitive oddity!"
The statement of a wintry alien world is not heaps to originate a purpose of its swarm. Equally of this, planetary scientists necessity originate use of teacher models of planetary enlargement in judge to make a decision such absentminded personality. The light spectrum of GU Psc b, that was obtained from the Gemini North Shrivel in Hawaii, was compared through such teacher models in judge to assess its leg. From this, the cartel persistent that GU Psc b has a leg of roughly 800 degrees C. In addition, being they knew the age of GU Psc b as a make of its quotation in AB Doradus, the cartel was able to assess its mass--which is a very flabby 9 to 13 grow old that of Jupiter!
In the approaching, the cartel diplomacy to spot exoplanets that are equal to GU Psc b but are to a large extent quicker to their thaw out parent stars. They fortitude use, among other belongings, new instruments such as the Gemini Globe Imager (GPI), that was installed on the Gemini South Shrivel in Chile. The comfortable proximinity of these alien worlds to their parent-stars fortitude originate them to a large extent supervisor disagreeable to care for. GU Psc b fortitude, consequently, be cast-off as a model for flaking new light on these wintry worlds.
"GU Psc b is a examine gift of nature. The sturdy distance that separates it from its star allows it to be studied in opacity through a nature of instruments, which fortitude assist a collapse vision of giant exoplanets in pervasive," explained Dr. Rene Doyon in the May 12, 2014 Gemini Jam On its own. Dr. Doyon is co-supervisor of Naud's research and OMM supervisor.
The cartel has started a new project to care for distinctive hundred stars in judge to spot planets that are lighter than the very flabby GU Psc b--but which have on equal orbits. The discovery of GU Psc b--a wet "eccentric" indeed--raises deep feeling that a great distance can extricate a planet from its lustrous parent-star. This opens up the hypothesis of hunting for exoplanets using resolute infrared cameras--while using immensely minor telescopes. The cartel hopes to get back supervisor about the preference of such shifty "eccentric" worlds in the close few years, in roughly by using the GPI, the CFHT's SPIRou, and the development James Webb Arrange Shrivel.
As Dr. Marcy noted a decade ago: "We're triumph quicker to answering the blonde affair of whether introduce is life out introduce. We're violent to step our own ancestry, chemically and as expected, in the stars."

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. You may notice that this and future entries are shorter than usual; Career, family and book deal commitments have forced me to cut back some of my projects. Now, here's today's news:
g STARS - By combining the capabilities of several telescopes, astronomers have spotted extremely bright galaxies hiding in the distant, young universe. The newfound galaxies are intrinsically bright due to their large rate of star formation -1000 times greater than the Milky Way. However, much of that light is hidden by surrounding dust and gas, leaking out only in the infrared. See article.
g ABODES - A planet orbiting a giant red star has been discovered by an astronomy team led by Penn State's Alex Wolszczan, who in 1992 discovered the first planets ever found outside our solar system. The new discovery is helping astronomers to understand what will happen to the planets in our solar system when our Sun becomes a red-giant star, expanding so much that its surface will reach as far as Earth's orbit. See article.
g LIFE - A new interpretation of results from NASA's Viking missions may have profound implications for the search for life in our Solar System. The new theory may also be useful in designing future missions to search for life on Mars. See article.
g INTELLIGENCE - Female rhesus monkeys use special vocalizations while interacting with infants, the way human adults use motherese, or "baby talk," to engage babies' attention, new research at the University of Chicago shows. "Motherese is a high pitched and musical form of speech, which may be biological in origin," said Dario Maestripieri, Associate Professor in Comparative Human Development at the University. See article.
g MESSAGE - In the field of astrobiology, few people have had a bigger influence than Frank Drake. In this interview, he discusses his famous Drake Equation, alien messages, and the search for alien life. See article.
g COSMICUS - NASA engineers think they have found the cause of and a remedy for foam falling from brackets on the space shuttle fuel tank like that which recently damaged the Endeavour heat shield tiles, agency officials said Friday. See article.
g IMAGINING - What will an alien look like? If you follow the viewpoint of most television sci-fi, then all aliens will be men in rubber alien suits. The producers of "Star Trek" seem to think aliens are just like humans with little latex ridges on the noses or foreheads. The reason for this anthropomorphism on TV is that it's cheap. The alien in the movie "Alien" was gross and ugly, and we surely would never be able to discuss our New Age feelings with such a creature. It cost the movie producers much more than a little latex on the bridge of an actors nose. The truth is that we are much more likely to meet Sigourney Weavers's alien than a Bajorran. See article.
g AFTERMATH - Here's an intriguing entry from the "Interdisciplinary Encyclopeadia of Religion and Science": "Extraterrestrial Life." It discusses the consequences of alien contact from a Catholic perspective. See article.

BY ALEJANDRO ROJAS "
"Elysium", a new sci-fi adventure movie starring Matt Damon and Jody Foster, opens this weekend. It is about a gigantic fancy space station that is reserved for the rich, while the poor are left to struggle for survival on a trashed out Earth. Max (Matt Damon) may be Earth's last hope to bring equality to humanity, that is, if Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her henchmen don't stop him first.
To get some insight into space station technology, space tourism, and what it takes to live in space, I was able to interview Mark Uhran, who worked for NASA in the International Space Station division for 28 years, the last seven as the division director. Of course, I also had to ask him about alleged UFO videos taken from the ISS.
Mark Uhran, former director of NASA's International Space Station Division. (Credit: NASA) ROJAS: ARE YOU EXCITED TO SEE THE MOVIE?
Uhran: Oh yeah it is a wonderful movie. The premise is terrific. I think both the social premise and the technological premise are plausible premises, you know, hundreds of years in the future.
R: HAVE YOU SEEN THE MOVIE YET?
U: No. I have watched the trailers on it, so I am familiar with the movie. I am familiar with the Elysium space station that they have included in the movie. It is incredibly large, so in order to someday in the future actually be able to achieve a space station that large, there are two breakthroughs that would be necessary. One is in propulsion. All of our rockets today are chemical rockets, and Elysium is so large and so much mass would have to be lifted from Earth to space or gathered from asteroids and moons to create a spacecraft that big, that you would need a next generation propulsion system, probably a nuclear system. So that is one breakthrough that would definitely be necessary.
The second breakthrough is not that big of a breakthrough. You would need to recycle your air and water and grow food and so on, and I think NASA is already demonstrating today with the International Space Station that all of that is technically feasible in space.
So it is a matter in time. I think Elysium is set about one hundred and fifty years in the future, which is a little bit aggressive, but I certainly believe that within this millennium these technologies will be available to us, as long as we don't toast the planet to a cinder beforehand.
R: HOW REALISTIC DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE THAT HUMANS WOULD CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OFF-PLANET TO LIVE IN?
U: Does humankind have a future in space? I think it is a human destiny to explore and go further. In fact, at the very beginning of the space age the founders of the space age were all pursuing interplanetary space flight. If you go all the way back to the 1950s and look at the concepts that were being promoted at the time, it is all about human evolution and a destiny in space, and I do believe that with enough time those things are possible.
One aspect of the space station that people really don't know about is the robotics systems that were provided by Canada are just incredible robots. Nothing like anything we have on Earth, and they were used to assemble the space station in orbit and they worked very well. I think that is one of the most impressive technological advances to me, the remotely manipulated robotics that Canada contributed.
R: WHICH IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE MOVIE, THESE ROBOT SUITS THEY ARE WEARING.
U: Yes, well that is certainly a technology that will be available at some point in the future. Movies, of course, as fiction, always push the outer limits of what is possible, and fifty to one hundred years later it can amaze us that those technologies become real.
Matt Damon as Max on Elysium. (Credit: Sony Pictures)The other thing about the International Space Station that is so unique is that it is a partnership of five different areas of the world, and what it showed us is how much we can accomplish when we work through international partnerships in science and technology.
R: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE MOVE TO THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF THE SPACE INDUSTRY?
U: Well, the best thing NASA can do is to set its sights on the horizon and turn low earth orbit over to the development of the private sector. I think that is the path they are on, so I encourage it.
R: SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCENARIO IN THE MOVIE ELYSIUM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE PRIVATES SPACE EFFORTS OUT THERE LIKE VIRGIN GALACTIC, IT IS PRETTY EXPENSIVE. DO YOU THINK SPACE MAY BECOME SOMETHING JUST FOR THE RICH?
U: It could go either way, but if we look back in history we see that commodities that started out only available to the rich, as the standard of living went up in industrialized countries, they became available to more and more people at large. I think the same thing applies to space. Initially it is going to be very expensive and only accessible to the rich, but I would hope over the longer term it will be accessible to everyone.
Jodie Foster as Elysium's Secretary Delacourt, (Credit: Sony Pictures) R: WHEN RUSSIA BEGAN TAKING SPACE TOURISTS TO THE SPACE STATION, WHAT WAS YOUR POSITION ON THAT?
U: Well, they started out with the first non-professional space traveler. It broke the ice, and we learned how to develop approaches that allowed us to train those people and prepare them for space flight. I think the Russians brought up maybe, Russians and an American company working together, brought up maybe half a dozen people to the space station. I think it broadens the human experience. In fact, the president of Cirque Du Soleil, [Guy Lalibert'e], he was up on the space station and it was a wonderful experience for him and the public.
R: ARE THERE THINGS THAT THE SPACE INDUSTRY NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL OF AS THEY DEVELOP SPACE TOURISM?
U: You have to put a lot of time and effort, as I understand they do, into preparing people for space flight. It is not like the aviation industry where you just show up at the gate with your ticket in hand and take your fist flight. Micro-gravity is a very unique experience and not all people adapt well to it because it can affect your sense of balance and orientation, but most people can adapt and they just need to be prepared ahead of time for the experience so they enjoy it.
R: EXTENDED STAYS IN SPACE CAN BE PRETTY TRAUMATIC TO THE HUMAN BODY. IS THIS A CONCERN WHEN IT COMES TO ALLOWING JUST ANYBODY TO GO OUT THERE AND SPEND TIME IN SPACE?
U: Well the crews on the ISS typically do a six month rotation, and we have found over the entire history of space flight that you do see bone decalcification from loss in strength in the bones and you can see muscular atrophy from extended periods of space flight, so what we do is require our professional crews to train for a minimum of 2 hours a day on exercise equipment.
Your neuro-vestibular system, you know your sense of balance, is a little bit more tricky. Some people adapt very well and some people don't and of course you don't want to spend a long time in space with if you are going to suffer from motion sickness.
R: IT APPEARS IN THE MOVIE THAT ON ELYSIUM THEY DEVELOPED A FALSE GRAVITY TECHNOLOGY THAT MIGHT HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THESE ISSUES.
U: Right, it has long been an option to develop space ships that rotate, and by rotating, a circular space station, as is the case with the Elysium station in the movie, you induce gravity, a false gravity. Then it is very similar to being on the ground.
Elysium Space Station (Credit: Sony Pictures) R: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE ASTRONAUTS TO RECOVER FROM THESE EFFECTS?
U: Well, the ones that adapt quickly to the environment are really quite healthy immediately upon their return. The only part that is a little bit tricky is the neuro-vestibular system and the sense of balance. Some people are affected in terms of their spatial orientation. In fact we find that the people who have a highly developed sense of balance, like an acrobat or a ballerina, those are the people that are most susceptible to space sickness, whereas those of us who do not have a highly developed sense of balance, we tend to adapt very quickly.
R: THAT IS VERY INTERESTING.
U: Yes, it is counter intuitive.
R: AND IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON?
U: Definitely.
R: DOES THE SPACE INDUSTRY NEED MORE REGULATION THAN OTHER INDUSTRIES?
U: No. I am not a proponent of heavy government regulation. Now there is a certain danger that goes with the kinds of opportunities that those folks are offering. They need to be responsible and that is why I say they need to train people. They need to have the highest level of quality assurance in their systems that they use. I don't think the government is going to do anything to really improve that situation. Those folks in that industry know that if there is an accident, that industry will suffer very quickly, and I think they are very conscientious about trying to prevent an accident.
Now on the other hand, just like mountain climbing, how many people have died trying to scale Mount Everest? It is not a risk free environment, and I think they are careful to let people know that there are risks.
R: ALONG THOSE LINES, THERE HAS BEEN DECENT SUCCESS WITH SPACE X, SAFETY THUS FAR FOR COMMERCIAL SPACE PROJECTS HAVE A GOOD RECORD.
U: Yeah, safety is in their own best interest, so they are going to do everything they can to keep it safe.
International Space Station (Credit: NASA) R: WITH THE SPACE STATION THERE ARE A LOT OF TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE. SOME OF THEM MAY BE UNEXPECTED. HAS THERE BEEN ADVANCEMENT IN A FIELD THAT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY UNEXPECTED TO YOU?
U: I think that over the coming decade we are definitely going to see that happen, and I will give you a specific example. Retrospectively, the last ten years, during the construction phase, you really didn't expect to see any major scientific discoveries because the laboratories were under construction. But now that the laboratories are complete, and the transportation is in place, and the research is starting to ramp up, I think there will be unexpected discoveries.
If I were to tell people a particular payload to watch, it would be the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which is an international partnership led by a physicist from MIT and CERN, Sam Ting. He is searching for the presence of anti-matter and dark matter, and I believe he will begin publishing some of his early results, possible before the year is out, and I think that could become pretty exciting.
R: WOW, SO YOU THINK THIS MAY BE A BETTER WAY TO SEARCH FOR DARK-MATTER OR SOME OF THESE OTHER PARTICLES THAN THE SUPERCOLLIDER?
U: Oh, by putting the platform outside the Earth's atmosphere, it definitely provides advantages for detecting the types of particles he is looking for.
R: WOW. THAT IS EXCITING.
U: Yeah, stay tuned to that one.
R: ONE OF THE THINGS WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT ARE ANOMALOUS VIDEOS OR SIGHTINGS FROM THE SPACE STATION. DO YOU PUT ANY CREDENCE INTO ANY OF THESE, OR HAVE YOU HEARD OF ANY WEIRD SIGHTINGS THAT ANY ASTRONAUTS HAVE HAD ON THE SPACE STATION?
U: (Chuckle) You know that's probably the most common question people ask me, and honest to God, absolutely the truth is no. Not a single thing that was not explainable.
R: WHAT ARE PEOPLE MISINTERPRETING? WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE VIDEOS ARE MORE STRANGE THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE?
U: I think it is a human desire. We all, or many of us, would like to believe that we are not alone in the universe, and we are all looking for clues, even NASA. But the fact of the matter is most of the objects that you see are either reflection of light off of perfectly innocent objects, or they are aberrations in lenses or they are particle events, which are quite common, that have different phenomenological ways in which they manifest themselves. In terms of UFOs, we have seen no evidence whatsoever of a UFO.
R: WHAT IS A PARTICLE EVENT?
U: When you take a very high energy particle, a galactic ray, and it hits the atmosphere. That particle hits all the particles that are in the atmosphere. It is like throwing a baseball into a bucket of paint, the paint splashes up everywhere, and that is all the result of that particle hitting the atmosphere. It can create unusual colors, unusual displays, traces; I mean there are all kinds of visual effects. There is a lot of stuff running around in our universe and every once in awhile some of it comes whizzin' by.
R: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK TO ME TODAY.
U: Sure enough, I hope you enjoy the movie.

Sometimes I just have so much deadly important UFO stuff to write about that I forget to slow down and smell the roses... which have probably been charred at a UFO landing site. Today is one of those days: I've had major developments in the UFO sighting I'm investigating and in the J. Allen Hynek book project, and I need to blog about them both, but... but... I have been sidetracked by sweet smelling soaps.
I took the time to read the Letter from the President in the November MUFON eJournal, and boy was I wrong about that guy. Sure, the Captain is a crusty old dog, but in his column he got all mushy about the coming holidays. Take Thanksgiving, for instance. He's thankful for every MUFON member, and thinks every last one of us is "top notch," from the members of the Board of Directors to the lowliest misfit. I'm in there somewhere, so that's good.
But it's not just me he's thankful for: The Captain is thankful for our membership growth, for the increased stature of our organization, and for the "fresh, bright atmosphere sweeping through MUFON. He doesn't seem to have figured out yet just who is behind all those things, but I expect a call from him any day now.
So the Thanksgiving thing is cool, but it turns out he's crazy about Christmas too! In fact, he wants everyone to have a wonderful Christmas. And the way everyone has a wonderful Christmas is for everyone to get wonderful MUFON merchandise from the MUFON eStore in their stockings Christmas morning! Things like alien soap. "They smell great!" The Captain advises us, and you know he's right.
Just look at these adorable soaps and tell me you wouldn't be tickled to get one of these from your best gal or fella...
Manly yes, but aliens like it too!
It's an "Out of This World" value for only 13.50 (you knew I was going to go there, right?)!
But that's not all! The Captain also enthuses about "Ladies shirts with the MUFON logo made of Swarovski crystal. (These are "HOT") When I first read this I was puzzled: how could I, a Certified MUFON Field Investigator, afford a ladies' shirt encrusted with fine crystal? And what lady would wear something so dangerous? I turned quickly to the Apparel section of the eCatalog and there it was... for only 35... the MUFON Sparkle Logo Ladies V-Neck Shirt!
Two words: VA-VOOM
