In 1960 Dr. Frank Drake conducted the first SETI search, Project Ozma. In 1961 the first SETI conference, Order of the Dolphin, is held at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, WV. Dr. Drake introduces as its agenda what is now know as the Drake Equation, a controversial statistical method for estimating the number of advanced technological civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. In 1982 NASA began SETI searches with The High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). 1988 saw The Planetary Society organize an international meeting on SETI in Toronto, Canada. This led to a Robert Stephens establishing project TARGET (Telescope Antenna Researching Galactic Extraterrestrial Transmissions). In 1999 SETI@home, a new screen saver program that taps into the power of home computers, was launched. It has the potential of radically changing SETI program design in the future of extra-terrestrial

Most people believe that UFO's simply don't exist, as there is no proof to back people up otherwise. The many photos taken of supposed spacecraft's have mainly been proved fake, or deemed too unclear to be taken seriously. However in the papers very recently (Friday 4th October) a photo was printed that, although not all checks have been run on it, is very unlikely to be fraud (see appendix 2). People who believe in UFO's generally see them as friendly creatures much like us, who wish to communicate for the same reasons as us-to see what is out there. Other people have other theories; some of them slightly 'out there'. One of these theories answers why extra-terrestrials, who have the extreme intelligence to create these crafts that can reach planets thousands of light-years away, would make the mistake of crashing to Earth. The idea is that a rare form of magnetite found in the sand in deserts attracts the metals used in the spacecrafts, and the force between them is so great that they are dragged to our
