Cambridge, Massachusetts — A Harvard University professor is making the case that we’re probably not alone in the universe. Astronomer Avi Loeb’s new book “Extraterrestrial” examines the 2017 flyby of a space object that he believes was truly out of this world.
“At first people thought, ‘Well it must be a rock, just like the asteroids or comets that we have seen before within the solar system,'” Loeb told CBSN Boston’s Paula Ebben . “But as they got more data on it, it looks very weird.”

Harvard astronomer believes alien debris passed Earth in 2017
(CBS/WVLT) - A Harvard University professor released a new book, making the case that humans are likely not alone in the universe.
CBS4 reports that astronomer Avi Loeb's book "Extraterrestrial" looks at the 2017 flyby of a space object that he believes was alien.
"At first people thought, well it must be a rock, just like the asteroids or comets that we have seen before within the solar system," Loeb told CBSN Boston's Paula Ebben. "But as they got more data on it, it looks very weird."
How Far Will Our Search For Aliens Go in 2021?
For at least the next couple of years, the rover will probe interesting environments that once had water rushing through. It will cache promising samples. Then sometime soon, hopefully by end of decade, NASA and a consortium of international partners will fetch the samples for an unprecedented trip back to Earth for detailed analysis.
Could Perseverance usher in a new era of alien hunting? It's hard to say right now, but we do know that Mars once had abundant flowing water and that the climactic conditions may have been great for microbes once upon a time. And if we can find even a single bacterium on Mars, it really bodes well for the solar system and beyond.

H OW YOU came to be on this flat desert plain at this time does not matter. What matters is the landscape around you.
To the north there is what appears to be a rim around the world, brightened by morning-lit dust at its base, darker as it rises into the sky. In some places it is a disordered, stepping-stone staircase of hummocky hills; in some it has a steep, solid face. However they are reached, though, its heights are strangely continuous and peculiarly even in stature: a scarp, not a mountain range, one that curves as it stretches to the left and right, the east and west.

Eyeing extraterrestrial threats, NATO to set up new space centre in Germany – EURACTIV.com
NATO defence ministers on Thursday (22 October) are expected to approve a plan to create a new space centre at the alliance’s Air Command in Ramstein, Germany, in response to growing concerns over protecting satellite and navigation assets from enemy interference.
The plans were first reported earlier on Monday by German press agency DPA and the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung.</em
According to the reports, the base would join with the NATO air force high command in Ramstein, in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and would serve primarily as a coordination centre for space observation.
Artists Claim to be 'Extraterrestrial' Monoliths and Sell Them for Almost 900 Thousand Pesos
Last November, mysterious metallic monoliths more than 3 meters high appeared in the United States and Romania . To these was added one more, found in the United Kingdom a couple of days ago. Many thought they were the work of "aliens" and even destroyed one of them. Now, a group of artists took credit for the works and began selling them for $ 45,000, about 900,000 Mexican pesos.
The group of artists The Most Famous Artist claimed the authorship of the two monoliths that appeared in the United States. These are the structures found in Utah and on top of Pine Mountain, in Atascadero, California . The collective rose to fame in 2017, when they intervened the iconic Hollywood sign, changing it to " Hollyweed ."
Why alien ... may hold key to making contact with extraterrestrials
If you're trying to come up with the best game plan for proving the existence of extraterrestrials, you've got plenty of options. Naturally, you want a strategy with a high chance of success, simply in the interests of time, money and a shot at the Nobel Prize.
For nearly 70 years the scheme favored by most scientists has been to look for signals — radio transmissions . That's the classic approach of SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), and frankly, it makes sense. Radio can easily traverse light-years, and the technology for detecting it is well known and highly sensitive.
