A Pennsylvania man is out on his property at night using his new telescope. He started to hear, what he thought was, a child talking. Later, his daughter finds huge human-like footprints.The following account was forwarded to me:"This was not my experience but rather my cousin's. My cousin does not drink or do drugs, and until this experience was not interested in this Bigfoot stuff nor did he believe it. In the late winter of 2017, he received a telescope from relatives as a birthday gift. He lives by himself on a 1200-acre farm in North Central Pennsylvania in Northumberland County. There are 4 more people who live on the property, but the houses they are in are more than a hundred yards away from his place. It gets very dark at night, the only lighting is from flood lights on the property when there is no moon.He was waiting for a moonless night to use the telescope. He set up pretty late, all by himself, in a folding camp chair with his telescope. After about an hour of looking at the night sky, he thought he had heard a small child talking. He became unnerved as it was coming from the direction of the nearby woods and it was very dark and he could not see anything. His only source of illumination was his phone.This went on for a short time as he tried to make sense of it. His two daughters only visited on weekends, there were no other kids on the farm that day. He started to get scared, packed up the telescope, and headed towards his place at a brisk walk. He phoned me the next day to tell me what happened. I asked him what the voice was saying and he said he didn't know but could hear it very clearly and estimated it to be only 20 feet or so away. He said he couldn't understand what was being said. When I pressed him he said something like, "You know when somebody mocks a language they can't speak?"Within a year of this, his youngest daughter discovered several huge human-like footprints in the nearby woods as they were out on a hike. He has a completely different perspective on this phenomenon now."

The skies of New Jersey have become a theater of unease, as mysterious drones glide through the night with an unsettling persistence. Their origins are unknown, their purpose a mystery—and though authorities insist there’s no cause for public alarm, the steady hum above has residents on edge. The FBI is now involved, but answers remain as elusive as the shadowy machines themselves. It began subtly, almost innocently, in mid-November. Mike Walsh remembers the first sighting—a moment he now relives nightly. “We’ve been seeing them every night, except Thanksgiving,” Walsh said Monday, his voice edged with both disbelief and frustration. “I guess they took the night off.” The first time, he thought it was a helicopter—a distant thrum reverberating through the walls of his home. But when he stepped outside, the truth was stranger: a machine hovering, silent except for the faint whir of its propellers. A blinking eye in the sky. Watching. “It’s up there for hours,” Walsh explained, staring into the dark as if expecting to see one now. “I’d love to see one land, just to figure out where it’s coming from—where it’s going. But they’re too far away, and then they’re gone, just like that.” The sightings aren’t isolated—the skies above Dover, the outskirts of towns, and even over churches have all hosted the strange visitors. Christian Velasquez described a chilling encounter. “It flew right over the church, past the train station,” he recalled. “Three blinking lights. Just hovering, like it was looking for something.” What are they looking for? That’s the question now crackling across social media, fueling heated debates between skeptics and believers. Rumors range from government surveillance to extraterrestrial visitors. “People think they’re UFOs or we’re being spied on,” said Erica Campbell, her voice uneasy. “It’s weird,” Velasquez added. “There’s not just one—there’s multiple. All at once. All over New Jersey. That’s not random. That’s coordinated.” Alexis Calle, who has tracked the chatter online, is equally unsettled. “They’re flying over Dover—over houses, businesses. What are they looking for?” Local authorities attempted to calm the storm last week, releasing a joint statement with county prosecutors: “There is no known threat to public safety. This joint statement is being issued in response to rumors about the drone activity spreading on social media. We encourage the public to be mindful that what they read online may not be accurate.” But the reassurances fell flat. By Monday, the FBI’s involvement was confirmed, adding an air of gravity that no official statement could dispel. “This isn’t just kids playing with toys,” one anonymous resident whispered. “Something’s going on.” Authorities are urging vigilance. The FBI’s Newark office, the New Jersey State Police, and the state’s Office of Homeland Security have asked anyone who spots the drones or has relevant information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online. For now, New Jersey is left to wonder. Each night brings the return of the silent watchers, their blinking lights tracing patterns in the darkness. Are they harmless? Or harbingers of something more sinister? Until the answers arrive, one question will haunt the towns below: Who controls the eyes in the sky—and what are they looking for?

Half a century ago, we were advised jokingly to never shake hands with aliens, because they might be made of antimatter. In that case, touching them would lead to mutual annihilation. Today, thanks to advances in gamma-ray and cosmic-ray astronomy, we know that antimatter is a negligible constituent in the cosmic mass budget. These circumstances are well understood in the context of the dense early phase of the Universe, when all traces of antimatter annihilated with matter, leaving behind a tiny (six parts in ten billion) excess of matter that accounts for what we observe in the Universe today. But there is another important reason to avoid contact with extraterrestrial life: it could be a mirror image of terrestrial life. In 1848, the chemist Louis Pasteur discovered that some molecules essential for life exist in mirror image forms. The two forms are referred to as “left-handed” and “right-handed” where the handedness, or chirality, refers to the direction in which polarized light rotates as it propagates through a solution of the molecules. Biology on Earth broke the symmetry and chose homochirality, representing just one of these chiral forms. DNA, RNA, and their building blocks are all right-handed, whereas amino acids and proteins are all left-handed. The symmetry breaking could have occurred before or after life emerged. This uncertainty might be resolved once we discover life beyond Earth.

It would also suggest that the transfer of life between planets, called panspermia, is insignificant, as it would have naturally led to a single dominant handedness in systems that share a common heritage. A new Policy Forum article co-authored by 38 leading experts in the journal Science alerts to the existential risk from mirror life, based on a 299-page technical report titled: “Mirror Bacteria: Feasibility and Risks”. In mirror bacteria, the DNA, RNA, amino acids and proteins are replaced by their mirror images. Future advances in synthetic biology could lead to the production of mirror bacteria. Their interactions with natural organisms would be different from the interactions of natural bacteria with natural organisms. Immune defenses rely on interactions between chiral molecules that could fail to detect or kill mirror bacteria. As a result, mirror bacteria might spread throughout the ecology of natural terrestrial life, unchecked by natural biological controls. The mirror bacteria would appear as dangerous pathogens for a wide range of natural life forms, including humans. The report details the resulting risks to the health of humans, other animals and plants, as well as potential ecological consequences. Based on that, the Science policy article concludes: “Unless compelling evidence emerges that mirror life would not pose extraordinary dangers, we believe that mirror bacteria and other mirror organisms, even those with engineered biocontainment measures, should not be created. We therefore recommend that research with the goal of creating mirror bacteria not be permitted, and that funders make clear that they will not support such work.” But what if nature created mirror life on another planet? Should we be worried about this mirror life being delivered to our home planet inside a rock or a Mars Sample Return mission? This would constitute the interplanetary analog of Amazon delivery services, with a package that includes content we never ordered. What happens naturally on other planets is under no obligation to satisfy the recommendation of the 38 authors of the Science article. One thing is clear: if any rocks with traces of mirror life were ever delivered to Earth over the past 4.2 billion years since the appearance of the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA), terrestrial life managed to survive their potential harms. Otherwise, mirror cyanobacteria which feed on non-chiral nutrients and sunlight, could have dominated Earth’s ecosystem by producing mirror versions of common sugars. Mirror animals would have fed on mirror food, produced by mirror plants. It is possible that no package with mirror life arrived at Earth, because a universal mechanism favors the same homochirality for life everywhere. As of now, the new technical report and Science policy article imply that we should be careful when handling material which potentially carries traces of extraterrestrial life. This important caution should be kept in mind when handling Mars sample return, NASA’s and ESA’s ambitious, multi-mission campaign. The health risk should also be kept in mind when following Elon Musk’s inspiring vision to occupy Mars and make humans a multi-planet species. The possibility that the Martian soil might contain relics of mirror life, adds to the known health risks from energetic cosmic-rays and extreme temperature variations between day and night on the surface of Mars. Until we know that homochirality is universal, we should be careful in our first contact with extraterrestrial life.
