Evidence that is publicly available to all scientists worldwide is the best way by which scientific progress about our place in the cosmos can be made. Here’s hoping that the findings of the Galileo Project’s expedition will inspire the US government to release open data about its own findings. We already know that the first two objects spotted by scientists as originating from outside the solar system, did not resemble the familiar meteors, asteroids or comets in the solar system, and were explained by mainstream astronomers as objects of a type that we had never observed before. mainstream scientists argue that the possible existence of spacecraft from a non-human origin is an “extraordinary claim” that is not worth a serious study until “extraordinary evidence” falls to their lap. The reason this evidence has to fall into their lap is because they are not engaged in the search for such evidence, and so its non-existence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The simple answer to Enrico Fermi’s paradox: “Where is everybody?” is “To find out whether you have neighbors, you better use a telescope or check your backyard for objects that came from the street.” Over the past two years, the Galileo Project that I lead at Harvard University, engaged in these activities — as summarized in 8 peer-reviewed papers. But we must also keep in mind that the intelligence and defense agencies of the US Government have been tasked with identifying objects falling from the sky for decades, since some of these objects may represent drones, spy balloons or ballistic missiles sent by adversarial nations. Given this day job, it is clear that Government agencies will be the first to notice extraordinary evidence for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) associated with objects sent by extraterrestrial technological civilizations to our cosmic backyard.

When I sat next to the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, at the Ignatius Forum at the Washington National Cathedral in November 2021, I asked her: “Given your bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Chicago, what is your guess for the nature of the most anomalous UAP in your 2021 report to Congress?” She admitted: “I do not know.” During our public discussion on stage, Avril noted: “There’s always the question of ‘is there something else that we simply do not understand, that might come extraterrestrially?’” This was ten months after my book Extraterrestrial was published, in which I discussed the possible technological explanation for the multiple anomalies including the disk-like shape and non-gravitational acceleration exhibited by the interstellar object, `Oumuamua, observed by standard astronomical telescopes.

But the first recognized interstellar object actually impacted Earth in January 2014. The forthcoming expedition of the Galileo Project to the Pacific Ocean aims to discover whether this interstellar meteor, IM1, was a craft from an extraterrestrial civilization. The reason for considering an artificial origin for this half-meter-sized object is that it was tougher in material strength than all other 272 meteors in the CNEOS catalog of NASA, and was formally recognized as having an interstellar origin at the 99.999% confidence in an official letter from the US Space Command to NASA on March 1, 2022.

Today, a report by whistleblower David Grusch was published in The Debrief by the highly reputable journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal. Grusch served as a representative to the UAP Task Force and co-lead for UAP analysis. Grusch says recoveries of extraterrestrial objects of non-human origin have been ongoing for decades by the US Government, allies, and defense contractors.

Jonathan Grey, an intelligence officer specializing in UAP analysis at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, said that “a vast array of our most sophisticated sensors, including space-based platforms, have been utilized by different agencies, typically in triplicate, to observe and accurately identify the out-of-this-world nature, performance, and design of these anomalous machines, which are then determined not to be of earthly origin. Though a tough nut to crack, potential technological advancements may be gleaned from non-human intelligence/UAP retrievals by any sufficiently advanced nation and then used to wage asymmetrical warfare, so, therefore, some secrecy must remain. However, it is no longer necessary to continue to deny that these advanced technologies derived from non-human intelligence exist at all or to deny that these technologies have landed, crashed, or fallen into the hands of human beings.”

Nevertheless, as a scientist who is guided by evidence I must bring up a cautionary remark: there are no scientific details in this report. I can only assess the significance of open data or materials to which I have direct access.

While the government is responsible for national security matters, the possible existence of extraterrestrial technological civilizations entails scientific knowledge about the Universe that does not adhere to national borders and should be shared with all humans.

As much as eyewitness testimonies on the existence of classified evidence are intriguing, we can make progress in our scientific knowledge only by having direct access to the primary sources of materials or data without relying on hearsay. Eyewitness testimonies have implications in a court of law but are not sufficient for corroborating scientific statements.

Therefore, as much as Grusch’s report is intriguing, it does not carry credible scientific evidence irrespective of the comments about Grusch’s reliability. What we wish to see as scientists is the actual materials or data collected by the government. Without access to the evidence, we cannot distinguish Grusch’s report from a hypothetical story which was fabricated by a secret branch of government that is developing unusual technological capabilities while assigning them to an extraterrestrial origin.

My sincere hope is that instead of spending 2 trillion dollars each year on military budgets, we would be inspired to invest the financial surplus in space exploration and send a CubeSat with AI towards every star in the Milky-Way galaxy by the end of the century. As Oscar Wilde noted: “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” In this context, the flattery is extended towards our interstellar neighbors.

No reason , I just found it now.

I am new to the community, last time I was interested about the subjet was in the 90' so I am surely not up to date with the subject.

Also I briefly saw that pic on Reddit before it went down , came here to see if it was already debunked or not.

It look like, yes, any implication?

I have found this on wiki page of history of nano-technology

The term "nanotechnology" (which paralleled Taniguchi's "nano-technology") was independently applied by Drexler in his 1986 book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology, which proposed the idea of a nanoscale "assembler" which would be able to build a copy of itself and of other items of arbitrary complexity. He also first published the term "grey goo" to describe what might happen if a hypothetical self-replicating machine, capable of independent operation, were constructed and released. Drexler's vision of nanotechnology is often called "Molecular Nanotechnology" (MNT) or "molecular manufacturing."

Could be the non human biologic recovered. I think the NHI is nano tech combined with AI. Edit: if this was true the grey alien could be some kind of "robots"(?)

Here is the link where I found the pic : https://www.latest-ufo-sightings.net/2018/05/ufo-seen-over-western-beijing-throughout-some-areas-of-northern-china.html

Edit: thank you for the explanation make sense.

I have been trying to edit the post but lemmy is clunky.

Also on the first pic look like a regular spot light.

Yes! Looking for something like that too. Maybe it's just me but I find French media are hard to find.

Beau is afraid , it was WTF from the start untill the end, still don't know what it was and I am too afraid to ask.
