If those pictures don't fill you with awe and make your spine tingle when you see them then maybe it's time you hopped in the grave and got someone to tuck you in, because you are dead already if that's the case.

This sculpture pictured below at Pambula, near Millingandi, in
New South Wales, was stolen in 2011 and found again 80km away.
It's now back where it belongs and I had the pleasure of seeing this sculpture in the daylight last year on my road-trip to Tasmania and back, but I wish I had of seen it under a night sky like this.
Panboola: Not Just for the Birds
I also saw this news story the other day, which seemed rather bizarre for a mainstream news website -
Harvard astronomers theorise about possible alien origin of fast radio bursts
"HARVARD researchers have proposed a theory about the possibility of mysterious celestial phenomena known as fast radio bursts (FRB) being caused by alien space travel or advanced alien technology.
“Specifically, these bursts might be leakage from planet-sized transmitters powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies,” suggested astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Theoretical physicist Avi Loeb who works at the centre believes because science has so far failed to identify a natural source of FRBs, “an artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking.”
Powerful fast radio bursts are one of astronomy’s most enigmatic phenomena and have intrigued scientists for years.
They are pulses of radio energy that originate from an unknown cosmic address and last just milliseconds before seemingly disappearing forever. They can emit as much energy in a millisecond as the sun does in 10,000 years.
Since first discovering the phenomena in 2007, fewer than two dozen have been recorded. Their existence has been attributed to all sorts of conspiracies and theories including alien broadcasting, stars collapsing into black holes and the explosion of a super-luminous supernovas.
Now, Professor Loeb, along with fellow Harvard scientist Manasvi Lingam, have theorised about the possibility they could be the result of a massive power plant system used by an alien species for cosmic travel.
The theory, as crazy as it sounds, explores how an immensely powerful solar radio transmitter could use photonic propulsion to power ships across the galaxy."
Something to think about too when I hear 'Under the Milky Way' being played on my car radio next.
I also saw this news story about crop circles from the same news website that ran the story about radio bursts -
They’re real and contain hidden messages, scientist says
"IT all started with a UFO sighting.

I also saw this news story about crop circles from the same news website that ran the story about radio bursts -
They’re real and contain hidden messages, scientist says
"IT all started with a UFO sighting.
Dr Horace Drew, 61, was just 10 years old when he allegedly saw an unidentified, silver, windowless craft hovering in the sky near his suburban home, in Jacksonville, Florida.
The encounter lasted only moments but led to a lifelong fascination with the extraterrestrial.
“I saw a UFO, so I knew they were real from an early age,” Dr Drew told news.com.au.
The scientist, who holds a PhD in Chemistry from Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, and worked for CSIRO as a molecular biologist, has been researching crop circles and aliens for 20 years.

Dr Drew relocated to Australia in the 1980s but most of his work has taken him overseas, predominantly to Europe.
“They’re quite rare in Australia,” he said.
He, along with many conspiracy theorists, believe crop circles are the work of aliens or human time travellers.

Aliens in the Backyard
Hey, what would a green-eyed Earthling like me know about such things;-)
But if I was say, even half alien, I'd probably let someone named Mike know ... like that guy in The Carpenter's song in the above You Tube;-)
Just f#cking with you Mike ... or am I?-)
