The Society was inaugurated by Dr Krishna Kumar, Sr. Technical Officer, DRDO who made the day by sharing his work and information on ALIENS. SETI institute stands for Search For Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Institute which works towards discovering life beyond our planet. ALIEN life has always been a fascinating and growing field. There have been so many questions about these alien life-forms out of which most of the doubts where cleared by Dr Krishna Kumar. There are real life evidences that prove the existence of these extra-terrestrial creatures such as the Bermuda s Triangle, Pyramids, Easter Island, Angorvat Missing, Sand Signals, Area 51, Crop Circles and many more. Crop Circles are patterns created by flattening a crop, usually cereal. This phenomenon usually occurs overnight but there are events in which it occurred during the day. There is usually high electromagnetic radiation coming out at these regions along with high temperature and other phenomenon that can t be explained scientifically. These patterns are believed to be messages from Aliens. Scientists such as James Cook succeeded in deciphering these codes. Usually these codes decode to ASCII values which have been used to decode many crop circles. One example is decoding the value of Pi accurately up to the 10th decimal. A scientist named Carl Sagan designed a way to communicate back with the Aliens which is referred to as Arisibo Message. It is similar to the patterns on the crop fields containing information about humans. The first message consisted of various details about humans coded in ASCII and the pattern was then made on the crops. After about 20 years later a similar pattern appeared close to this pattern but with small changes. These changes corresponded to the Aliens and not humnas. These patterns not only occur in fields but also occur in the sky, desert, beach, on water, under water and snow. Dr Krishna Kumar gave many examples out of which one is that whenever a satellite crosses over the place of Thirunallaru it temporarily stops responding and immediately restarts its function once it crosses the area. Scientifically it is believed that the UV rays from this region are parallel and the electromagnetic waves are very strong that it temporarily stops the functioning of the satellites. He also mentioned about Area 51, stone of the sky gods at Mahabalipuram and Roosevelt incident. He also mentioned about Kumarikandam which is the first discovered land in Tamil Nadu. At the end he mentioned that there are totally seven types of Aliens categorised so far. People have also used Pisco notes and WOW signals to communicate with aliens. Overall it was a very different and informative session, a topic outside our WORLD.
