	Aliens in fiction - Biocrawler
		The alien invasion was one of two themes which was to crop up again and again in the 'pulp science fiction' years, the 1930s to 1960s.
		Aliens are also used in fiction to examine the human race from a different perspective; the author wishes us to examine ourselves in a new way by contrasting us with an imagined alternative.
		One of the most frequently portrayed alien races from our own solar system are the Martians, Mars being the most romanticized of the other planets whose surface conditions are closest to being amenable to life.

		The rise in UFO sightings is due to the increase in alien activity on Earth.
		The aliens are abducting people in larger numbers, are leaving other signs of their presence in the form of so-called crop circles, are involved in cattle mutilation, and occasionally provide revelations such as the Urantia Book to selected prophets.
		An altar-like structure houses the alien embryo-eggs, and a hieroglyph depicts the alien's lifecycle.

	Lost Books - What is Speculative Fiction?
		Speculative Fiction is an umbrella term I like to use because it includes all the forms of fantastic fiction or what for ages has been called science fiction and fantasy.
		Speculative Fiction is a term that has not been embraced entirely by the writers, editors, and critics in the science fiction, fantasy and horror fields.
		The explorations of science fiction are normally for the purpose of testing an idea, a question, or a possibility in the literary laboratory; as opposed to trying it out in the real world, where a botched experiment can mean famine, pestilence, or the bloody slaughter of one people by another.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Extraterrestrial life in popular culture
		This usage is clearly anthropocentric: when humans in fictional accounts accomplish interstellar travel and land on a planet elsewhere in the universe, the local inhabitants of these other planets are usually still referred to as "alien," even though they are the native life form and the humans are the intruders.
		This may be seen as a reversion to the classic meaning of "alien" (see Foreigner) as referring to "other," in contrast to "us" in the context of the writer's frame of reference.
		It is easier to relate to an alien with features we recognize such as arms and legs, two eyes, a nose and a mouth, as well as behavior we recognize such as baring its teeth in anger or widening its eyes in shock or surprise.

		Note that this list does not include fantasy stories' names for species more properly included in other lists, such as Atani (Humans of Middle-earth) or Melnibonéans (Elves of Michael Moorcock's Elric cycle), nor does it include fictional races of humanity unless they are physiologically different enough to merit separate consideration.

	Mathematics and Science Fiction
		This curriculum unit is a series of lessons that use science fiction stories to enhance the teaching and learning of some topics in mathematics.

	Using Science Fiction to Understand Biological Concepts
		Students can demonstrate their understanding of complex biological concepts by writing their own short science fiction stories on topics such as "The Day Diffusion Stopped." What a difference a gene makes: food in the future, medicine in the future, eugenics revisited, and restoring extinct species are possible genetics ideas that could be developed.
		This fictional account of a theme park featuring dinosaurs cloned from DNA in mosquitoes fossilized in amber lends itself to many interesting discussions of genetic engineering, ethical issues, and chaos.
		This is by no means a comprehensive list of science fiction that could be used at the secondary level.

	Science Fiction Writer Robert J. Sawyer: Book Review: The Science of Aliens
		The second millennium is drawing to a close, and the media are compiling their lists of the biggest stories of the year, the decade and even the century.
		It wouldn't have mattered whether the story had been the arrival of aliens in the flesh, the receipt of radio signals from them or the unequivocal discovery of their fossil remains or artifacts on one of our neighbouring worlds.
		Pickover's ultimate point, although it's made obliquely, is that none of the flying-saucer aliens we've heard about — humanoids with big heads and fl eyes — are probable; aliens will, by definition, be alien — unlike us physically, and probably emotionally, as well.
