It is statistically unlikely that humans are the only intelligent species in the universe. Nothing about the others will be known until contact is made beyond a radio signal from space that merely tells us they existed when it was sent. That contact may occur tomorrow, in a hundred years, or never. If it does it will be a high-risk scenario for humanity. It may be peaceful or hostile. Relying on alien altruism and benign intentions is wishful thinking. We need to begin identifying as a planetary species, and develop a global consensus on how to respond in either scenario.

Since the 1950s, men and women around the world have claimed to have had contact with human-like visitors from space. This book explores how the "contactee" subculture has critiqued political, social and cultural trends in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Not merely quaint relics of the 1950s Atomic Age, contactees have continued their messages of transformation into the 21st century. Regardless of whether these alleged contacts took the form of physical meetings or channeled paranormal psychic communications, or whether they actually happened at all, contactees have provided a consistently relevant source of commentary on this world and beyond.

This is Clara Bennett’s second book, following “Roswell Revealed: The Untold Story Of America’s Most Famous UFO Incident.” This book delves into humanity's long-standing quest to understand the cosmos, tracing this journey from ancient civilizations to modern scientific endeavors. It highlights how early societies like the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans developed intricate mythologies and astronomical systems to interpret the stars and celestial phenomena. The narrative emphasizes the evolution of astronomical exploration, showing how ancient stargazing laid the foundation for contemporary astronomy. This historical perspective underscores humanity's enduring curiosity and the continuous quest for knowledge about the universe. The book also discusses the role of media and popular culture in shaping public perceptions of extraterrestrial phenomena, particularly UFO sightings. It warns against jumping to conclusions without proper investigation, as sensationalism can lead to myths and exaggerations. The “Goldilocks Zone” concept is introduced, which refers to the habitable zone around stars where life could exist. This idea expands our understanding of the conditions necessary for life beyond Earth and encourages the exploration of diverse environments where life might thrive. The book touches on the Fermi Paradox, which highlights the contradiction between the high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for their existence. This paradox fuels debates about the nature of advanced civilizations and the challenges in making contact with them. The pursuit of technosignatures, or markers of advanced extraterrestrial intelligence, is presented as a key aspect of humanity's insatiable curiosity and quest for knowledge. This search represents a significant frontier in our exploration of the cosmos. The conclusion of Clara Bennet’s book reflects on the transformative journey of interstellar travel, emphasizing humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery and the potential for technological innovation to open new frontiers in space exploration. Overall, the book weaves a narrative that celebrates human curiosity and the relentless drive to unravel the mysteries of the universe, from ancient stargazing to the search for extraterrestrial life and beyond.

If we send a message into space, will extraterrestrial beings receive it? Will they understand? The endlessly fascinating question of whether we are alone in the universe has always been accompanied by another, more complicated one: if there is extraterrestrial life, how would we communicate with it? In this book, Daniel Oberhaus leads readers on a quest for extraterrestrial communication. Exploring Earthlings' various attempts to reach out to non-Earthlings over the centuries, he poses some not entirely answerable questions: If we send a message into space, will extraterrestrial beings receive it? Will they understand? What languages will they (and we) speak? Is there not only a universal grammar (as Noam Chomsky has posited), but also a grammar of the universe? Oberhaus describes, among other things, a late-nineteenth-century idea to communicate with Martians via Morse code and mirrors; the emergence in the twentieth century of SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), CETI (communication with extraterrestrial intelligence), and finally METI (messaging extraterrestrial intelligence); the one-way space voyage of Ella, an artificial intelligence agent that can play cards, tell fortunes, and recite poetry; and the launching of a theremin concert for aliens. He considers media used in attempts at extraterrestrial communication, from microwave systems to plaques on spacecrafts to formal logic, and discusses attempts to formulate a language for our message, including the Astraglossa and two generations of Lincos (lingua cosmica). The chosen medium for interstellar communication reveals much about the technological sophistication of the civilization that sends it, Oberhaus observes, but even more interesting is the information embedded in the message itself. In Extraterrestrial Languages, he considers how philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, science, and art have informed the design or limited the effectiveness of our interstellar messaging.
