Fantasy Faire 2025 Adventures - Echoes of Ancient Aliens

"There are clear remnants of intelligent life on this world, but are they extinct ... or merely dormant?"

This photo was taken at Xalren, part of the annual Fantasy Faire in the virtual world, Second Life. In addition to being a shopping event and a celebration of all things fantasy and roleplay-oriented in SL, Fantasy Faire benefits the efforts of the American Cancer Society.

An alien

According the online information, an alien is a creature from outer space; extraterrestrial. Scientists have been scanning the heavens for "technosignatures". Initially, they focused almost exclusively on radio signals, but flashes of light are in play now as well; these are the targets of increasingly common "optical SETI"( Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) efforts.
SETI scientists have to keep an open mind; after all, we don't know what sorts of messages an advanced alien civilization might beam out. So, astronomers in the field generally look for signals that appear weird and artificial, something coming from deep space that isn't produced by any known natural astrophysical phenomenon.

If we find them, whether they will try to communicate with us is a question.We are not an enough developed civilization, and we are not enough biologically developed, we still kill each other.

“Power Sphere” by Leo Brett (aka, R. L. Fanthorpe).  London:  John Spencer & Co./Badger Books SF-95 (1963).  Cover Art by Henry Fox.

This Power Sphere existed long before BoBoiBoy and his quest to save the Power Spheres and defend our galaxy.

“Out there beyond the planet something incredible was watching.”

From the back cover:

Salford had an unenviable assignment. Beyond the security of the in-worlds there were a number of dark, mysterious unexplored planets, hostile to life, hated and feared by the experienced spacemen. Salford neither hated nor feared them. He was a man doing a job.

He reached the assignment world and set out to explore what might have been the ruins of a long dead alien civilization.

As he left the safety of his ship he was aware that he was not alone. Someone or something watched his every move. At last he glanced into the sky . . .

Perhaps it was a mirage, perhaps it was an hallucination. Salford felt that if there was an answer, it must lie somewhere buried among the distant ruins. He reached them and began to explore. The more he learned of the incredible civilization that had once existed, the more mysterious the aerial phenomena became. Finally he discovered what seemed to be the clue, and yet he was no nearer a real solution to the problem. Although the evidence pointed to the ancient civilization being extinct there were things among the ruins that didn’t make sense unless some trace of the Ancients lived on.

----------------------------------------------------------

Badger Books were published between 1959 and 1967 in a number of genres, predominantly war, westerns, romance, supernatural and science fiction. In common with other “pulp” or mass-market publishers of the time, Badger Books focused on quantity rather than quality. A new title in each of the major genres appeared each month, generally written to tight deadlines by low-paid authors. One of the most remarkable facts about Badger Books is that much of its output was produced by just two authors (using a range of house names and other pseudonyms). John Glasby (over 300 novels and short stories) and Robert Lionel Fanthorpe (over 200 novels and stories). [Wikipedia]

Drake equation graphic

The Drake equation attempts to estimate the number (N) of intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy.

It is composed of several factors, many of which are being constrained by recent observations and research:
R*: the rate of star formation in the Milky Way galaxy
f(p): the fraction of stars that have planets
n(e): the fraction of planets that could support life
f(l): the fraction of planets where life has actually initiated
f(i): the fraction of planets where intelligent life has developed
f(c): the number of planets where technology has reached a level for interstellar detection
L: the lifetime of a civilization before it goes extinct.
