Exobiology news are listed here.
Some may protest that exobiology had nothing to do with UFO sighting reports. Exobiology is supposed to be the study of life on other places and Earth, ufology is the study of UFO sighting reports. UFO sighting reports have a number of consensually accepted explanations, such as: hoaxes, misinterpretations of many natural or artificial phenomena. Some of the UFO sighting reports also have several controversial explanations; one of them being that of craft from alien civilizations.
This is why exobiology and ufology intersect, like it or not. Both are "controversial" in the sense that some people are certain that there is no life in the Universe outside Earth and some people are certain that all UFO sighting reports are never alien visitors craft. Other people think otherwise. some think that there is certainly or probably life outside Earth but no UFO sighting reports are aliens visitors craft. Some people think life certainly or probably exists elsewhere than Earth but none is "intelligent" or none is capable of traveling to Earth. In this section, I do not make claims about UFO sighting reports, I only deal with what we know or learn about the search for life outside Earth.
Exobiology itself, as I present it here, splits is several research areas:
Is there life on Mars? Was there life on Mars? Is Mars "hospitable" at all? Is there life on one or the other moons of Jupiter or Saturn? These issues were debated, then considered closed with the first missions of Mars (Mariner), now, these questions are very opened in the scientific community, and some scientists are already stating that there was life on Mars or there is still life on Mars.

Is it true that life cannot exist below 0° C? What pressure, acidity, heat, cold, dryness conditions really do exclude life? By studying life in extreme conditions on our own planet, we can guess some things about the conditions for life elsewhere.

Is there even any planet outside the solar system? Are they rare, or numerous? What do they look like, are they hospitable? Is Earth an exceptional place for life? Are there "other earths" in our galaxy, and if so, how many?

I do not, here, write about those alleged UFO occupants - I do this in my URECAT catalogue and other places of this website.
Here, by "aliens on earth", I mean lifeforms currently found on Earth, without any dispute about their existence. But lifeforms that are so weird, that some people, including myself sometimes, wondered if they really originate from Earth.

Is there intelligent life in the Universe outside Earth?
Are we alone or not? This is about the search for intelligent life, not just life, elsewhere in the Universe. Everyone I guess has heard about the SETI Project, but is it true that SETI shows that we are alone? Can SETI really detect radio signals from aliens? What about other ways to detect alien civilizations out there? What are the current progresses and findings in that area?
