It all just makes so much sense. Why the hell didn't they make this movie in the '90s? (Don't answer that.)
A flashing white light flew across the screen during a live TV broadcast by BBC Look North's Colin Briggs in Newcastle yesterday. [Editor's Note: Alien attack! In Newcastle on Tyne, for some reason. Did they lose their map or something?]
A Flickr gallery of science-fiction imposed vintage postcards. It's neat, but I have but one thing to say. FAKE!111!!!!
Science Buzz You may have your #1 spot on Google, but will anyone know your name when the aliens come? Maybe, if you sign up with NASA to send your name (and zip code) to Mars.
If aliens were intercepting and monitoring Earth’s television broadcasts, this is what they would be watching depending on where they are in the galaxy.
Two aliens try to take over the same planet. A nifty little animation by Ben Harper and Sean Mullen. Who will win?!
Oh my God. What the holy f*ck is that!!!! What ever it is, obviously we are doomed once it hatches. [via]
The Dragonfly alien overlords have landed, leaving proof of their earthly arrival with this 600ft crop circle left in a barley field in Wiltshire, UK. BuzzzzzzzzzzzzFeed welcomes you to earth, friends!
Movie Buzz The trailer for the long-awaited Peter Jackson-produced alien flick has arrived — complete with matching online viral marketing! The Internet's abuzz with rumors about the realistic effects and creepy multiple websites that all connect to the film's story, which involves aliens living in “slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.” Does this not ring any bells with anyone else? Did we all forget last summer's epic Blair Witch-ian battle against aliens codenamed Cloverfield? I'm still having NYC nightmares.

The Norwegian electronic music duo, Röyksopp, released this geeky music video featuring some awesome real-life Space Invaders. It's the official video for the first single, Happy Up Here, from their upcoming album, Junior.
Did this detail from NASA photograph show a reptile species that did not survive the K-T extinction on Earth? The snapshot of the Martian surface were taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, 4/01/09.
A campaign for the Sci-Fi Channel by ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi that reverses the whole monster/human encounter paradigm. The point being that those zombies are probably just as scared of you as you are of them. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't run, but it's something to ponder once you've reached a safe place and barricaded the doors.
Something flew over Washington during President Obama's Inauguration. With down-home commentary, this CNN video definitely shows something. As of now, no one from any Government agencies has commented.

In preparation for the final season of Battlestar Galactica, SciFi has rolled out a ten-part online series. Once again, I implore all cynics to put aside any reservations about the fantasy genre and embrace one of the most brilliant series to ever grace television, a meditation on faith, terrorism, and political dynasty. (Also, ALIEN ROBOTS!)

A bizarre-looking squid was caught by a robot camera at an ultra-deep drilling site in the Gulf of Mexico. Sounds like the set up for a J.J. Abrams movie.
The CIA is covering up a UFO sighting. Larry King is not sure what to make of the story or the footage. Anyone else seen any UFOs lately?
Culture Buzz Stephen Colbert is all set to have his DNA blasted off into space, as part of a human time capsule dubbed “Operation Immortality”.

His DNA will be joined by other celebs like Kevin Rose, Robert Scoble, and American Gladiator Beast!
Science Buzz Jeff Peckman of Denver is lobbying city officials to establish an Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission in preparation for alien contact. In fact, he’s apparently got exclusive video footage proving their existence, but we can’t see it yet because it’s being used in a forthcoming documentary. Peckman’s video allegedly shows a four-foot tall creature popping up outside a window, blinking. So, congratulations, Jeff Peckman! You’ve started your very own Groundhog Day, but with aliens and for crazy people!
