China is racing to make First Contact with Aliens

[nivek]

China is racing to become a major space superpower and could be the first nation to make contact with alien life by using the world’s largest radio dish which can detect signals from the deepest depths of space.

Last year China cemented itself as a space exploration powerhouse by firing its space laboratory Tiangong 2 into low Earth orbit, becoming only the third nation, after the US and Russia, to independently get people into space.

The nation has also has had dozens of suspected-paranormal encounters including claims of a UFO sighting over the Great Wall of China last week.

Now the emboldened ‘space superpower’ has vowed it will be the first to make contact with alien life pouring billions of pounds into space exploration and the world’s largest radio dish to detect signals from other galaxies.

Speaking about the Tiangong 2 mission President Xi Jinping, said that the project would “enable China to take larger and further steps in space exploration, and make new contributions to building up China as a space power”.

The 500-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is almost twice as wide as the America’s Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, making it the largest in the world, if not the universe.

Liu Cixin, one China’s top researchers into alien life, described the dish as looking “like something out of science fiction”.

But Mr Liu, who has written a great deal about the risks of the first contact, warns that the “appearance of this Other” might be imminent and could result in our extinction.

In one of his books, he said: “Perhaps in ten thousand years, the starry sky that humankind gazes upon will remain empty and silent.

“But perhaps tomorrow we’ll wake up and find an alien spaceship the size of the Moon parked in orbit.”

Other leading experts into Alien Life including astrophysicist Andrew Siemion, the director of the Search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) research centre at Berkley University have also been impressed by FAST.

Radio transmissions are forbidden near the dish in a bid to stop human sources interfering with any signals coming from alien sources.

China’s latest five-year plan pledges to increase spending on research and development to £913billion ($1.2trillion)—at least 2.5 per cent of its gross domestic product – with deep Space exploration at the forefront.

The plan was adopted in March 2016 and will see it through to 2020 and this latest radio observatory is not going to be China’s last as the country reportedly plans to put one on the dark side of the moon.

These latest development follow an investigation into mysterious “UFO-like” pieces of metals fell from the sky and blasted into the ground near several villages in central China.

The pieces created large burning creators which baffled scientists.

A villager called Mr Zhang told local media that there was a “deep noise” from the sky at around 1pm on the day.

He said he then saw something rapidly falling towards the mountain.

The villager added: “It made a loud bang when it hit the ground. Then it started burning. The dry grass nearby was quickly set aflame.”

One commentator said: “The ring looks like the door of a UFO cabin.”

Videos of bizarre portals and floating cities in the skies above China have also repeatedly been shared online further fuelling the nation’s fascination with the paranormal.

If you want to find space people, going into space would seem kind of important.

Perhaps they noticed that an almost 50 year "come to us" strategy by Russia and the US hasn't worked.

If and when 'they' ever come here it may be like the Spanish Conquistadors and the native Americans, earthlings getting the short end of the stick...I guess we need someone to blame, why not China...

They say Jade Rabbit rover found this on the moon the remnants of a glass dome.

I would have to see the raw China pictures first.

A daytime picture of the same scene would be helpful as well.

The moon shouldn't be the color of moldy cheese either.

Why build that radio dish when all they have to do is look underground and discover millions of these trash gray aliens? Could've used the money to feed the hungry, or clean up a beach, instead of wasting it for nothing. Oh well, that's not how it goes I guess. Racing is more important!

OK, ill bite
If it is that straight forward, why hasn't someone just done exactly that.
I am a believer, but people have been talking about underground bases, Reptilians, tall greys, short greys etc forever. Show me the evidence.
Even a tiny bit of evidence that is remotely credible.

I did some computations during the Deepwater Horizon disaster and realized the the pressure at points under the surface is directly equal to the weight of the overburden.

That is why oil seeps out of the ground - it is lighter than rock.

You can't have empty chambers in the ground long term. Deepwater Horizon at a mile of water and a mile of dirt was at 18000 PSI. That is at or above the fracture strength of any rocks. Granite (one of the hardest rocks) only has a compression strength of 19000 PSI.

They are lookin for new business deals.
We can only buy soo much crap from their
factories, they have to look for new customers elsewhere ...

 

[Ras]

Yeah i think they r looking for new business deals, don't think they care much about aliens.

Wow that head, i wonder how they r going to lie down with those heads.

Their bed has a hole or depression in it - think donut.

ugh i fucking hate that enterprise mission guy
he zooms in ramdom rocks as much as he can and then imagines that he is seeing structures
and lets not speak about his obbesesion with the number 99

Sounds like pareidolia to me...

exactly!
though he uses it in ways that are beyond an sane man

Neither should blue rocks found by Jade Rabbit.

Neither should blue rocks found by Jade Rabbit.

The moon is charcoal grey when brightly illuminated.

The moon has an albedo of about 0.12. It is about the color of aged asphalt (new asphalt is darker).

The false color Jade rabbit moon images are both in color and false.

True color玉兔 (Yùtù) images are this color:

Bottom pic still looks cheesy. I wonder if its enhanced to make it look like that or maybe it was the type of crumby film the Chinese use.

China Just Released True Color HD Photos Of The Moon

The color balance on the rover is a little off - but those rocks aren't blue and the moon isn't moldy cheese.

People thought for quite some time that it was made of green cheese. I like where they did a donut with the rover before setting off.
