Smart. Sexy. Fun.
The Thing is making a comeback to theaters, but it's not quite the same story you remember from 1982. Hitting theaters tomorrow, it still takes place in Antarctica, but now, Kurt Russell's lead is being passed down to Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and there's more external alien action to keep you jumping out of your skin. Hopefully it will stand up to the original classic that inspired so many other Read more
Alongside the premiere of the History Channel's new documentary Secret Access: UFOs on the Record, alien spacecraft sightings are taking flight. According to the Mutual UFO Network, they are receiving more claims of UFO sightings from sky watchers in Canada and the US than ever before: "Over the past year, we've been averaging 500 sighting reports a month, compared to about 300 three years ago Read more
Mars is on the brain this week — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter found what appears to be flowing water on the surface of Mars. Of course, our obsession with the red planet and the little green men that come from it dates back a lot farther than this week. Take a look back at some fun and interesting images of Mars, NASA, and space in the gallery. Read more
I sat in on the Falling Skies panel yesterday at WonderCon, and although I walked in not knowing much of anything about the Steven Spielberg-backed project on TNT, I walked out pretty excited to tune in when it debuts on June 19. After hearing what writers Melinda Hsu, Mark Verheiden, and star Drew Roy had to say about the series, and seeing a few sneak peeks, I came up with five reasons you Read more
The aliens have landed! Well, at least at the box office: Battle: Los Angeles, Paul, and Mars Needs Moms are all currently showing in theaters, proving that our fascination with the otherworldly is still going strong. While these three movies probably won't go down in the books as classics, there are plenty of movies about aliens that are spectacular — both in their genre and in film as a Read more
This ad for Airwaves Gum with Guarana suggests that a cute little alien was enticed to try out earth living after trying a piece. But then after getting a taste of the difficulties of earth life — getting a job, finding meaningful recreational activities, attempting to put together IKEA furniture — the alien hops back on his mother ship in frustration. Take me with you, little man! Read more
If anyone knows whether extraterrestrial life exists, I'm guessing astronauts do. Dr. Edgar Mitchell, a 77-year-old former NASA moon-walker with Apollo 14 says that aliens have visited Earth many times, but that governments have concealed contact with these small-framed and large-eyed creatures for over 60 years. "I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been Read more
It's a big day for alien watchers and sci-fi fans (okay, scientists too.) Overnight, Britain declassified a whole spaceship full of files for the first time detailing hundreds of sightings of unexplained objects in the skies over Britain. Green men with big heads? That's so space-ist! Not quite but according to the investigator at the Ministry of Defense, "while there's no evidence of little Read more
They're cute. They're cuddly. They're a joyous fact of life, right? Some scientists think otherwise. They've theorized that babies are actually "distractions" placed on this planet to keep all of us occupied, irritated, and vulnerable to alien attack. Could it be true? The Kensington Report investigates. Read more
WonderCon is in full effect here in San Francisco, and today I checked out another panel for an upcoming movie: Cowboys & Aliens. The actors in the film, Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde, weren't able to attend, but directer Jon Favreau and producer Roberto Orci gave the crowd a lot to be excited about. They spilled details about the Western-meets-alien-invasion action flick, and Read more
