Extraterrestrial skies

"The doom of all who harmed them was certain" (310). Before I started high school and learned how to drive, every day after finishing homework I would go to my neighborhood store to shop for confectionary and school supplies. Preparing to travel to the store, I checked the outside weather and it appeared like a bright and sunny day, until I got onto my bike. When I rode my bike for thirty minutes, the weather immediately turned from bright to gloomy; the gloom encompassed itself with heavy rain and wind, and I knew it was going to become a perilous journey to go back home. Similarly to Odysseus, I had to find a way for advice; only my safeguard came from a covered parking lot area, warding off the “ghosts” of wind and rain. The words "doom of all" could not have applied even better than my current situation; I felt that I had no path to escape, and could not have asked my parents to pick me up from the store since they were at work. Sadly, my I knew that this game of suffering is not a choice; rather, this is an exercise in survival that I am rapidly losing. One hour later, I attempted to ride my bike home, even though the storm allowed thunderbolts to form and also allowed the rain to fall continually without stopping. When I was about five minutes away from the store, my bicycle wheels skid through braking too hard to stop in a tree branch and I ultimately fell on the bicycle lane, without assistance for my injuries or despair. Passing cars, those cars, forcefully led my…

The breeze felt light and soft. It carried smells of exhaust and smoke within the city. Small particles of dust and trash flew in the air. A wrapper brushed against her hair. She discarded it on the rooftop floor. The view was nice. All the lights. All the cars. All the people. It was all so nice. She made her way to the door. She began to turn the handle until she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. A ball floating in the air. An almost clear sphere appeared from the ball.…

dashed the device into the dirt, where it hit a hard patch of earth and cracked apart. Under pressure from a tiny compressed-air pellet, the bomb released a stinging, choking cloud of red pepper dust, that was caught on the wind and, luckily, blown up in the direction of the brainwashed birds. Velma turned to evade the cloud, but an errant breeze blew some particles of the dust into her face, stinging her eyes and making her cough. Blinded, she tripped over Marcie's feet and fell on the…

It was a cloudy night in the land of greece, where a family with one child lay. In their house the child staring out into the sky, mesmerised by all that was to be seen in the night. But then, a question appeared inside his consciousness, and he decided to ask his father. “Father, Why are there clouds in the sky?” he asked. “Why don’t you sit next to me while I tell you the tale of Gary the cloud maker” Once upon a time, in Ancient rome, there were no clouds in the sky, and It was very dry…

White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky. The sun shone brilliantly and the water in the pond glittered when the sun's rays hit the shifting waters. It was hard to believe that the night before last the sky above was full of tumultuous, dark rigged clouds. Which caused a down pool of rain. She closed her eyes taking in a breath of fresh air. The fresh air filled her lungs, and she felt refreshed and exhilarated. Exhaling the breath slowly, she opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes gazed over the…

encounter stories, and questions that have yet to been answered. The oldest UFO sighting can date back to 343 BC! Diodorus Siculus Timoleon wrote while traveling from Corinth to Sicily “All through the night he was preceded by a torch blazing in the sky up to the moment when the squadron made harbor in Italy.” In a modern time this light could be more than just a light and there are many other stories about UFOs. 196 AD Cassius Dio wrote “a fine rain resembling silver” which fell over the city…

Are You There, Aliens? It’s Us, the Human Race “I bet everyone here a cup of coffee that we’ll find aliens within two dozen years.” – Dr. Seth Shostak, Director of Communications for SETI Look up into a clear night sky in a city, and you might see a small handful of pinpricks of light dotting the sky. Move out to the suburbs, where there’s less in the way of light pollution, and you’ll see a few more. Keep traveling away from population and artificial light – down a deserted highway, or out…

Throughout history, humans have always held a fascination with extraterrestrial life. Science fiction tales were written in the second and tenth centuries (Joy and “Satire or the First Science”). Crop circles were claimed to be found in medieval times (Radford). Searches for canals built by martians were carried out more than two hundred years ago (Simon). The fascination with alien life integrated itself into human culture and as it changes, the beliefs change as well. Science fiction allows…
