Your Local Airport Might Be Attracting Alien Attention
Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: The SETI Institute's goal is to lead a science-based mission to find evidence of intelligent life beyond our own planet. A new study shows what aliens within 200 light-years might see if they trained their own powerful radio telescopes on our planet. It turns out the aviation radar—both civilian and military—would create a repeatable Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) pattern due to the distribution of radar equipment across the Earth's surface. Professional outfits like the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute scan the skies with radio telescopes for any sign of extraterrestrial life. They're especially tuned in to potential presence of technosignatures—electromagnetic radiation emitted by an advanced society's technology. While that effort has produced some exciting close calls, humanity most likely has yet to find any sign of alien life. Of course, there's another way to look at this problem. If an alien civilization in our galactic neighbor also had their own SETI-esque programs—similarly probing the skies in search for an answer to that ever-elusive 'Are we alone?' question—could they hear us? Well, as it turns out, the answer is an emphatic 'yes'—not, however, because we're purposefully shooting some kind of high-powered radio beam into the cosmos that's acting like a galactic flare gun. No, aliens could hear us just from our everyday airport and military radar systems. In a new study—the preliminary results of which were revealed at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting 2025 in Durham, U.K.—lead researcher Ramiro Caisse Saide from the University of Manchester concluded that an alien civilization within 200 light-years of Earth could likely spot our planet's radar signals using an advanced radio telescope similar to the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The study concluded that worldwide airport radar alone outputs a radio signal of roughly 2×10¹⁵ watts, while military radar outputs distinctive directional radio beams up to 1×10¹⁴ watts. At first, 200 light-years may not seem like a lot—after all, the Milky Way stretches some 100,000 light-years across. But even a distance this short (at cosmic scales, at least) includes some 120,000 stars, which very likely host plenty of candidates capable of sustaining life. 'This would look clearly artificial to anyone watching from interstellar distances with powerful radio telescopes,' Caisse Saide said in a press statement. 'In fact, these military signals can appear up to a hundred times stronger from certain points in space, depending on where an observer is located.' The authors looked at this 'hidden electromagnetic leakage' from the perspective of six stellar systems: Barnard star (6 light-years away), HD 48948 (55 light-years away), HD 40307 (42 light-years away), HD 216520 (64 light-years away), LHS 475 (40 light-years away), and AU Microscopii (32 light-years away). To help others understand what the 'leakage' might look like, the researchers published a video showing the mean distribution of Earth's Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) over a 24-hour period as it would appear on AU Microscopii. A distinct pattern emerges based on the distribution of radio equipment across the planet. So, if some alien civilization took a keen interest in a particular rocky planet located in the Origin-Cygnus arm of the galaxy, this clearly artificial EIRP signature might just raise an eyebrow (or whatever aliens would do to show confusion). 'Our findings suggest that radar signals—produced unintentionally by any planet with advanced technology and complex aviation system—could act as a universal sign of intelligent life,' Caisse Saide said in a press statement. 'In this way, our work supports both the scientific quest to answer the question 'Are we alone?' and practical efforts to manage the influence of technology on our world and beyond.'

The legend of Area 51—and why it still fascinates us
Secluded in the Nevada desert, the military base has long been associated with alien and UFO sightings. Here's the real history behind the conspiracy theories. UFO believers look for suspicious spacecraft during a UFO and Vortex Tour in Sedona, Arizona. This composite image is a combination of six photographs taken in 2017 through night vision goggles. Composite photograph by Jennifer Emerling Photographs by Jennifer Emerling The myths surrounding Area 51 draw tourists from around the world, as people travel to the air base near Rachel, Nevada, in hopes to catch a glimpse of otherworldly spacecrafts. Although the legend of extraterrestrials at the top-secret facility has been discredited for years, some of the myths are based on true events. Here's what you need to know about Area 51. Area 51 is one of the most famous military installations in the world—a remarkable feat considering the government didn't formally acknowledge the site existed until 2013. Rumors of hidden extraterrestrial technology and lifeforms have fueled its popularity and the public's imagination for decades. While no proof of aliens has yet surfaced, declassified information reveals that during the Cold War, the CIA and Air Force spent decades developing advanced spy planes like the U-2 and A-12 at the base. Sightings of these impossible crafts likely inspired the rumors of otherworldly visitors—although a recent investigation by the Pentagon suggests that the UFO myths might have been perpetuated by the Air Force itself. Today, Area 51 is still an active base, but its purpose and history are a top-secret mystery. Earthlings are welcome at the restaurant and bar Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel, Nevada—a popular stop on the pilgrimage to Area 51. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling An illustration of different flying saucers from reported sightings around the world, on display at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico.

The UFO library allows visitors to comb through an extension collection of reference materials focused on the history of UFO encounters and related phenomena, with many spending days or weeks in the library doing research. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling 'What's important about the public fascination with UFOs and Area 51 is what it says about our human nature and our perspectives on our place in the cosmos,' explains Bill Diamond, the CEO and president of the SETI, a scientific institute focused on finding extraterrestrial intelligence. 'It says that we want to believe we're not alone.' SETI's search continues today, beyond the deserts of Nevada. About 200,000 people visit the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico each year. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling About 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas, somewhere between mile markers 11 and 12 along Nevada's 'Extraterrestrial Highway' (State Highway 375), lies an unmarked dirt road. Although no buildings are visible from the asphalt, the track leads to the dried-up Groom Lake and Homey Airport, as it's called on civilian aviation maps. For those in the know, this road leads to the back gate of a remote military base with many unofficial names: Paradise Ranch; Watertown; Dreamland Resort; Red Square; The Box; The Ranch; Detachment 3, Air Force Flight Test Center (Det. 3, AFFTC); and Area 51. The base is inaccessible to civilians and most military members, but the installation is surrounded by a small but thriving trail of alien-themed museums, restaurants, motels, parades, and festivals. (Is there really alien life on this exoplanet? We asked 10 experts.) Why is Area 51 in the middle of the desert? Before World War II, the area near Groom Lake was used for silver and lead mining. Once the war began, the government needed a large swath of desolate land to develop and test nuclear weapons. They turned to Nevada. After acquiring 2.9 million acres of land—roughly three times the size of Rhode Island—the Nevada Test and Training Range was born in 1950. Nearly everything within its borders was classified, especially the 1,350 square miles of land called the Nevada Test Site where the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) detonated more than 900 nuclear weapons. Groom Lake is only five miles outside the edge of the Nevada Test Site and still within the protected Nevada Test and Training Range. When the CIA started developing spy reconnaissance planes during the Cold War, then-CIA Director Richard Bissell, Jr. realized a private base was needed to build and test prototypes. In 1955, he and Lockheed aircraft designer Kelly Johnson selected the secluded airfield at Groom Lake to be their headquarters. The AEC added the base to the map and labeled the site Area 51. Within eight months, engineers at Area 51 developed the U-2 plane, which could soar at an altitude of 70,000 feet—much higher than any other aircraft at the time. This allowed pilots to fly well above Soviet radar, missiles, and enemy aircraft. (Read how Area 51 engineers used cardboard to mislead Soviet spy satellites.) After a U-2 was shot down by a Soviet anti-air missile in 1960, the CIA began developing the next generation of spy planes: the titanium-bodied A-12. Nearly undetectable to radar, the A-12 could fly across the continental United States in 70 minutes at 2,200 miles an hour. The plane also was equipped with cameras that could, from an altitude of 90,000 feet, photograph objects just one foot long on the ground. A man named Bob Lazar forever changed the way we remember this military base. In 1989, Lazar gave an interview with a Las Vegas news station, KLAS, where he claimed to have worked at Area 51 as a physicist. While on air, he said that Area 51 housed and studied alien spacecraft and that his job was to recreate the technology for military use. The world's only spaceship-shaped McDonald's attracts UFO tourists in Roswell, New Mexico. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling Lazar's credentials were quickly called into question. Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology, both schools Lazar claimed to have attended, said they had no record of him. He also said he was a physicist at Los Alamos National Lab, but officials denied he ever worked there. Regardless of the controversy around Lazar, some of his claims were unquestionably correct: Engineers at Area 51 were studying and recreating advanced aircraft—just aircraft likely acquired from other countries, not from outer space. With all the high-tech flights out of Area 51—including more than 2,850 takeoffs by the A-12—reports of unidentified flying objects skyrocketed in the area. 'The aircraft's titanium body, moving as fast as a bullet, would reflect the sun's rays in a way that could make anyone think, UFO,' sources told journalist Annie Jacobsen for her 2011 book on Area 51. Although entrance to the official site requires an invitation from the upper echelons of the U.S. military, Area 51 continues to attract visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the unknown. The Lil A'Le'Inn, a popular themed diner and motel twelve miles from Area 51, estimates they receive between a hundred and 500 visitors a day in the summer with roughly half making their way to the base entrance gate. 'But we're busy year-round,' the inn's assistant manager said. This number of earthly visitors spiked in 2019 when an interview with Lazar on a popular podcast inspired a 'Storm Area 51' event, in which several thousand people showed up in the desert to look for evidence of aliens. It ultimately morphed into a festival celebrating all things alien. High school students wear matching alien masks in downtown Roswell, New Mexico during their spring break in 2017. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling However, it's wise not to get too close to the site itself. The airspace above is a no-fly zone, and armed guards and thousands of CCTV cameras monitor the perimeter of the base. If unwelcome guests make it past security, legal consequences swiftly follow. In 2019, two Youtubers found trespassing inside the base were apprehended and originally sentenced to a year in jail before the sentence was suspended. In the end, they were each fined $2,280 and spent three days in jail. 'My feeling was, you're going into a place that is restricted, and it says so, and everybody knows it's restricted, and so I didn't consider it a trivial matter,' explains Chris Arabia, who was the Nye County District Attorney at the time. 'We were trying to come up with something that was fair but also recognized the gravity of the situation.' Signs at the site also warn that the guards are authorized to use deadly force if necessary. The search for aliens outside Area 51 If scientists at NASA were to detect extraterrestrial intelligence, they don't have an official protocol in place to guide them on next steps, according to NASA's astrobiology division. However, the researchers with SETI do—and it doesn't involve Area 51. According to SETI's protocol, the first step would be to verify the findings with other independent observatories and organizations around the world. Once other scientists confirmed the evidence, they would then hold a press conference to share their discovery with the public. No top-secret security clearance needed. A temporary art installation created in the shape of an alien face was displayed on a fence outside a shopping center in Roswell, New Mexico, March 17, 2017. Artist unknown. Photograph by Jennifer Emerling 'We would share the nature of the phenomena we detected, say this is where it came from, this is how far away it is, and that this warrants more study,' says Diamond. As for SETI's search for ET, Diamond says they're not looking to Nevada for clues. For him, the rumors of stashed spacecraft wreckage are inconceivable. 'If you think about a civilization with the technology to bring hardware and/or biology to Earth, the likelihood that they would be incompetent enough to crash land anywhere on the planet is absolutely zero,' he says. "All UFO observations or sightings have one thing in common: a hundred percent of them are a result of an accidental observation. Not one of them has ever been the result of an actual, engineered and developed experiment or observational program to observe, look for, study, evaluate, and characterize these phenomena," explains Diamond. "We would not say that it is impossible that there's alien technology in our airspace, but there's no evidence for it that we're aware of.' (Are we alone in the universe? These Mars rocks could finally give us an answer.) UFO sightings continue Even without stepping foot onto the base, people around the world continue to report remarkable sightings of mysterious flying objects. In 2004, off the coast of California, military personnel witnessed a smooth, oblong craft, nicknamed 'Tic-Tac,' drop from 60,000 feet to just above the ocean waves in mere seconds, then zoom off at shocking speeds. One radar technician saw it with his own eyes and said it glowed. With so many sightings of UFOs—or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), as they are now officially referred to—by military personnel, the federal government has a long history of documenting and studying UAPs, stretching back to nearly the end of WWII. This legacy is ongoing. In 2022, the Office of the U.S. Defense Department created the latest team tasked with investigating and documenting UAP sightings: the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). With authority to review highly classified information, they accept reports by current or former U.S. Government employees, service members, or contractor personnel. Based on their investigations, common causes of UAP sightings include high-altitude balloons, satellites, and unmanned drones. ARRO says they don't have any proof of extraterrestrial technology, but that they will 'follow the science wherever it leads.' As for Area 51, as more video recordings of unidentified aircraft come to light, some bear resemblance to those described by Bob Lazar in 1989, like the 'Tic-Tac' UAP. Despite wide disbelief, Lazar continues to share his story in interviews and documentaries today.

Humpback Whales Are Blowing ‘Bubble Rings' at Boats. Are They Trying to Communicate?
Humpback whales are known for their extensive use of bubbles—from powerful, aggressive bursts that prove their prowess during courtship to the bubble-net 'curtains' they produce to round up prey in a spectacle that often draws tourists from around the world. Now a new study published in Marine Mammal Science explores rare instances when humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae) create dramatic, doughnut-shaped vortex bubbles that look like a rolling underwater smoke ring.

Video credit: Simon Hilbourne, Molly Gaughan, Karime Nicholas Researchers at the University of California, Davis, and their colleagues at other institutions—including the SETI Institute, which is known for focusing on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) but is also interested in nonhuman intelligences on Earth—were looking for examples of whales' general bubble behavior when they uncovered a striking video taken by videographer Dan Knaub in 1988. In the footage, a humpback called 'Thorn' blows 19 bubble structures—including 11 rings—over a 10-minute period. 'We were just gobsmacked—like, 'What the hell is going on?'' says Fred Sharpe, a whale biologist at U.C. Davis. 'For a team that's interested in assisting astrobiologists parse unusual signals coming from deep space, it just fell real neatly into our paradigm.... It's so bizarre.' Sharpe and his colleagues soon found more examples on social media and from other researchers. Study co-author Jodi Frediani, a wildlife photographer who is also at U.C. Davis, even noticed a telltale circle in a photograph a friend showed during a presentation about humpback whales. With this phenomenon on her mind, she says, 'I went, 'Gee, there's a bubble ring!'' For the study, the team recorded 12 events across the North and South Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans in which 11 individual humpbacks were seen blowing bubble rings. The researchers described 39 rings in total. 'It's not a lot in the world of whales but enough—and in multiple oceans,' Frediani says. 'It's a really fun paper,' says Syracuse University biologist Susan E. Parks, who studies bubble-net feeding in humpbacks and wasn't involved in the new study. 'It reads like a detective story that's trying to piece together information about something that's not widely studied and happens rarely.' Parks hasn't observed any bubble rings herself—as far as she knows, she says, 'I may have seen them before and never really thought anything of them.' Despite compiling so many examples of the rings, Sharpe still doesn't know what to think about their purpose. 'My guess is that this is what it's going to feel like when we first make contact with aliens,' he says. The researchers speculate that the behavior could be playful. One whale would blow a bubble ring and then swim through it or 'do a spy hop right through the middle of it,' Frediani says—when performing such a spy hop, the whale would peep its head vertically above the surface, right through the bubble ring. Or perhaps the animals' behavior could respresent curiosity toward humans: of the 12 recorded events, nine involved whales that approached the human observers more closely before they blew rings. 'We need the entire human brain trust's help deciphering this. It's almost like [the whales'] blowhole is a mouth, and the symbols coming out are bubbles, as opposed to sounds.' —Fred Sharpe University of California, Davis Could the whales be trying to communicate with us? Sharpe doesn't rule this out as a possibility. He posits that the presence of humans seems to trigger bubble blowing and that humpbacks improve with practice. 'This may be a species-atypical signal that's crafted for people,' he says, 'whales reaching out to humans ... using their own parlance, their own form of communication.' Parks thinks it's plausible that the animals are putting on a display for humans, but she adds that it's too soon to tell with such a small sample size. 'They'd want a lot more [observations] before they could say with certainty,' she says. Because most of the observations were made by people, this could skew the data, she notes, although there were 'two observations from planes, so we know [the whales] do produce them [bubble rings] when people aren't present, too.' Now that more researchers know to look for these bubble rings, Parks says, reported sightings may greatly increase. With more data, Sharpe and his colleagues hope to figure out what the purpose of these swirling doughnuts of air is—and whether the rings could possibly contain information. 'We need the entire human brain trust's help deciphering this,' Sharpe says. 'It's almost like [the whales'] blowhole is a mouth, and the symbols coming out are bubbles, as opposed to sounds.' Sharpe hopes footage from the study will help people feel connected with whales and make them want to protect the animals from human threats such as ship strikes, entanglement, noise and chemical pollution, habitat loss and disruption of the food web. He says that he also wants to find a way to let the whales 'know that they've been heard.' For him, trying to decipher potential messages and find a way to respond puts the team 'in the same place you would be if you were trying to communicate with aliens—and you got a message.'

Scientists identify strange 'communication' of non-human intelligence in Earth's oceans
Scientists have found the source of a strange form of communication in the ocean that they say could help them locate extraterrestrial life in space. Researchers from the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) revealed that large 'smoke ring-like' bubbles coming from underwater were created by humpback whales, which researchers believe is their way of greeting nearby humans. It's the first time scientists have seen whales sending out these unique rings while interacting with people in the wild, and the SETI team said they show an intentional attempt to get the attention of humans - just like saying hello. Until now, the bubble rings have only been seen while humpbacks were gathering prey and when males were making a trail of bubble rings to attract a mate. Researchers said it's quite possible whales have been trying to communicate with people for years but the phenomenon hasn't been studied until now. The team added that these bubble rings could help researchers refine their search for an alien intelligence in the cosmos, opening a door to spotting unusual signals from space that we normally wouldn't think are meant for humans. Study co-lead author Dr Fred Sharpe from the University of California-Davis said: 'They are blowing bubble rings in our direction in an apparent attempt to playfully interact, observe our response, and/or engage in some form of communication.' Now, the institute's WhaleSETI team is studying if this could be a sign that intelligent marine animals are trying to talk to humans, in the same way that aliens from a distant ocean may try to contact Earth. The SETI Institute is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to searching for extraterrestrial intelligence and studying the origins and nature of life in the universe. Scientists analyzed 12 bubble ring episodes that involved 11 different humpback whales between 2019 and 2023 in the wild. These rare reports came from naturalists, citizen scientists, and researchers who revealed what they saw on social media, during interviews, or at scientific conferences. In total, the witnesses spotted 39 bubble rings from whale-watching boats, research vessels, private ships, and airplanes. The study, published in Marine Mammal Science, found that bubble rings were produced in three main contexts: feeding, resting, and curiosity - which was the most common purpose. There were nine instances of humpback whales blowing bubble rings near boats and swimmers. The whales in these cases were consistently seen approaching boats and people in the water without any signs of aggression, splashing their tails and spraying water out of their blowholes. The researchers said this was a clear sign that the humpbacks were relaxed and trying to be playful, leading them to feel comfortable communicating with the humans near them. They typically let out bubble rings from their blowholes that were six to 10 feet in diameter, which floated straight up and look like a smoke ring when they reached the ocean surface. The rings were often aimed right at humans and were paired with other playful behaviors like circling the boats or peeking at swimmers. The humpbacks didn't show anger or fear and lingered after sending out the bubble ring, almost as if waiting for the people to 'answer' their greeting. Scientists concluded that these rings might be a whale's way of saying, 'Hey, let's chat!' or play a game to see how we react, much like a child blowing bubbles to get our attention. The team from SETI said this never-before-seen behavior among humpback whales further supports the assumption that intelligent extraterrestrial life might also seek contact with humans. SETI Institute scientist and study co-author Dr Laurance Doyle said: 'This important assumption is certainly supported by the independent evolution of curious behavior in humpback whales.' Humpback whales have been a constant resource in SETI's search for alien life, with researchers using them as a model of intelligent, non-human creatures which may be living on distant ocean worlds By studying these whales and their new interactions with people as an example of non-human intelligence, WhaleSETI researchers are creating ways of finding and translating potential signals found in space. The institute suggested that bubble rings could be a deliberate attempt by whales to talk with humans they considered peaceful, not just aimless play. According to SETI, this would mimic how extraterrestrials might target satellite receivers on Earth if they wanted to contact humanity. This isn't the first time the WhaleSETI team has connected the behavior of humpbacks to aliens. In 2023, scientists engaged in a 20-minute 'conversation' with a humpback whale named Twain in Alaska. They played whale calls for her and Twain responded with similar calls, matching the timing like a back-and-forth chat. That study showed whales can intentionally interact with humans, helping SETI scientists understand the non-human intelligences they may find in space. 'By integrating our findings into the broader context of Drake's Equation, we aspire to advance our understanding of the factors influencing the emergence of communicative intelligence in extraterrestrial civilizations,' the WhaleSETI team explained in a statement. Drake's Equation is a mathematical formula created in 1961 to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy that can communicate with humans and might be detectable through their signals, like radio waves. If whales show that curiosity and friendly interactions are key to communication, it suggests alien civilizations might also need these traits to develop detectable signals, influencing the numbers in Drake's Equation and guiding SETI's search for life beyond Earth.

Humpback whales may be trying to communicate with humans
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Humpback whales are some of the most intelligent creatures humans have ever had the chance to observe. However, researchers have encountered a bit of a conundrum with these massive sea-bound creatures. According to studies published in the past few years, humpback whales may be trying to communicate with humans. Previous research into this phenomenon has shown that the potential for humans to talk to these massive mammals exists. An earlier study shows that scientists with the SETI Institute were able to have a 'conversation' with a humpback whale named Twain by playing whale calls through an underwater speaker. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Twain responded to the calls in its own fashion. However, that study didn't look at how these creatures might try to communicate with humans voluntarily, as the communication was always previously engineered by researchers. Now, a new study looks at just how likely it is for humpback whales to try to communicate with humans on their own. The research was led by SETI scientists, and it shows that the whales appear to make large rings of bubbles when having friendly encounters with humans, likely in an attempt to communicate with us somehow. These forms of nonverbal communication are important to study, too, because they could one day be key to helping us talk to another species, if space exploration ever leads to the discovery of new lifeforms beyond those on our own planet. You can see evidence of the SETI team's conversation with Twain in the video embedded above. While it's unlikely anything like AI will help us decode the meaning of these messages anytime soon, researchers will no doubt continue to work on uncovering the meaning behind these attempts to communicate. Whether or not we'll ever actually be able to have a conversation with our dogs, or any other animal, for that matter, is still very unlikely, at least based on the technology we have access to today. But that's the thing about the future. We're constantly developing new technology that could one day unlock these capabilities and let whales communicate with humans more openly.
