Alien call I.
First contact will probably - if it ever takes place - not be face to face, instead, a distant call may be radioed purposefully or not. Neither will it be a true dialogue unless some fundamental physics breakthrough emerges. For decades now, many people are scanning the dial looking for signals. You may help too.

Extra Sensory Sciences:Sixth Sense Awareness
The "Sixth Sense" is something we are all supposed to be blessed with; so much so that we have coined and use this term frequently in our day-to-day conversation(s) when referring to the extra sensory events in our lives. What is the "Sixth Sense" comprised of? This article introduces a six-part series on the "Sixth Sense" and should help us gain a further understanding of this common human experience.
