“UFO’s”

It was an excited crowd that filled a lecture hall at Cambridge University’s Institute of Astronomy on Thursday afternoon. There were seasoned professors, gaggles of graduate students and studious researchers. Even the astronomer royal, Lord Rees of Ludlow, had come along to the hastily arranged seminar.

They were there to see Dr Nikku Madhusudhan, professor of astrophysics and exoplanetary science, discuss an astounding finding.

Madhusudhan and his team believed they had established the strongest evidence yet that life exists on another planet. Newspapers around the world that morning carried his claim that a watery planet called K2-18b — roughly 124 light years from Earth — may be “teeming” with algae-like organisms. The 100-strong audience was “even more excited than I am”, says Madhusudhan.

This week’s news reports highlighting the discovery of the “strongest evidence yet” of life on a distant planet, K2-18b, raise a number of pertinent questions. If life is confirmed there, what would be the next step? Should humans try to establish some sort of contact with these extraterrestrials once we know where they are?

The reports stem from a new paper based on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s detection of the spectral fingerprint of a single molecule, dimethyl sulfide, in the atmosphere of the exoplanet — that is, a planet which exists outside our solar system. This molecule is not a reliable biomarker according to another paper from earlier this year, which shows that it is found in the interstellar medium without the presence of life. On Earth, this molecule is produced by microorganisms in the oceans.

There are some scientific discoveries that do much more than advance our knowledge: they create a shift in our psyche as they show us the scale of the Universe and our place in it.

One such moment was when space craft sent back images of the Earth for the first time. Another is the discovery of life on another world, a moment that has inched a little closer today with the news that signs of a gas, which on Earth is produced by simple marine organisms, has been found on a planet called K2-18b.

Now, the prospect of really finding alien life – meaning we are not alone in the Universe – is not far away, according to the scientist leading the team that made the detection.

In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet’s atmosphere the chemical fingerprints of gases that on Earth are produced only by biological processes.

The two gases – dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and dimethyl disulfide, or DMDS – involved in Webb’s observations of the planet named K2-18 b are generated on Earth by living organisms, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton – algae.

This suggests the planet may be teeming with microbial life, the researchers said. They stressed, however, that they are not announcing the discovery of actual living organisms but rather a possible biosignature – an indicator of a biological process – and that the findings should be viewed cautiously, with more observations needed.

The UFO expert who released a new video this week showing the infamous tic tac has revealed bombshell theories about the phenomena.

Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and filmmaker known for his work with George Knapp on military-documented unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), has once again ignited public debate over UFOs – this time with newly released footage captured aboard the USS Jackson in 2023.

My suspicion grows that this is US tech, whether the result of a technological breakthrough or via acquisition I can’t know.

New footage recorded by a military combat ship’s advanced radar system captured one of four observed “tic-tac”-shaped unidentified objects flying off the coast of California in 2023.

The radar footage was purportedly recorded by active duty Naval officers stationed on the USS Jackson on Feb. 15, 2023, off the coast of San Diego, Calif., who also witnessed one of the objects with their own eyes, according to ufologist Jeremy Corbell, who released the captivating clip Tuesday.

Objects exhibiting advanced technology continue to fly with complete impunity over sensitive military installations and critical infrastructure. Despite the Pentagon’s advanced imaging and sensor capabilities, the nature, purpose and origin of these enigmatic craft are unknown, raising an array of pressing national security concerns.

In interviews with “60 Minutes” earlier this month, two recently retired four-star Air Force generals and the Air Force commander overseeing North American airspace defense begrudgingly admitted that the “drones” that loitered in dramatic fashion over key military assets in recent years remain a confounding mystery.

Okey Dokey.

Some lawmakers are hoping for more transparency on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), more commonly known as UFOs, as whistleblower David Grusch heads to Washington for a new role.

Grusch will be a senior adviser for Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), helping the lawmaker with issues related to UFOs and will hold that position for a four-month period.

In June 2023, he made claims that the Pentagon was operating a UAP retrieval program that was being hidden from lawmakers and the public.

Is there anyone more qualified than an astronaut to shed light on the existence of UFOs?

Now, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the wife of one Apollo astronaut has revealed the secrets her husband shared before he died.

Anita Mitchell, who was married to the late NASA pilot Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon in 1971, said: ‘He always felt that there were UFOs out there, because so many of the pilots and astronauts had seen something.’

Thirty-four senior officials detail government secret-keeping around UFOs in the explosive documentary “The Age of Disclosure,” which had its world premiere at SXSW.

AUSTIN — What if the big question surrounding the existence of aliens wasn’t if they exist, but why the U.S. government has been hiding this information from the American public for so long?

And what if, in hiding that information, our own leaders were putting us in danger of annihilation?

The congressional hearings of 2022 and 2023 into greater government disclosure about UFO encounters were just the beginning, according to Dan Farah, director of the explosive new documentary “The Age of Disclosure,” which debuted at SXSW on Sunday.

The Egg Guy soured me on the topic. I still want to believe but with only the Navy Vids to go one it’s getting more difficult to trust any source.

A somewhat skeptical take below.

‘The Age of Disclosure’ Review: A Documentary Claims to Offer Proof that Alien Spaceships Are Visiting Us. But Does It Really?

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and some of President Trump’s most vocal supporters in the House do not agree on much, but they are in agreement that the government is hiding critical information on UFOs — also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena or UAP — from the American public.

Schumer and key House Republicans say that the government must come clean on what it knows about this decades-long mystery, which has seen 80 years of highly credible, consistent, multi-witness reporting of objects exhibiting extreme performance characteristics.

Just when it seemed genuine progress was being made it turns out everyone is a grifter or is accused of being a grifter.

Every last one of the most prominent names in the UAP universe knows someone who knows someone whose cousin knows someone etc. but can’t disclose because (insert reason here) but they all have a book or movie or podcast to sell.

I do not begrudge anyone who makes a living out of UAP’s for all I know they act in good faith though frankly I can no longer tell for certain.

People are frustrated after years of rug pulls. The egg fiasco was humiliating, an insult to people of good faith.

Like many others I have concluded that the topic of UFO’s has been monetized to the point of clickbait desperation.

The recent NJ drones flap seems more a government test of public gullibility than anything else but they could have saved some money just by reading Twitter/X.

The exception are the pilots associated with the Navy videos. Everything else is just inconclusive bad cell phone film.

If the government does operate a disinformation campaign to squelch disclosure and ridicule its proponents then they could do no better than this.

I don’t like West at all as in my view he is a bad faith actor but this Bledsoe guy is whacked yet he has his fans.

Chris Bledsoe says you can’t see the UFOs he summons if you are skeptical. They wait until you are not looking, then reveal themselves to the faithful standing next to you.

For anyone interested this is a 3 hour marathon featuring Jake Barber whom Ross Coulthart introduced to the world two weeks ago in the now infamous “Egg” Interview.

Jake Barber has now had his alleged military background picked apart revealing enough Red Flags to disqualify him as a credible source in my view unfortunately he makes for good clickbait and continues to tarnish the entire Disclosure effort.

I get that Ross Coulthart who has or had a good reputation needs ratings but the build up to the Barber reveal left Egg on all our faces. It just smacks of BS.

Disinformation? No. It’s more the tall tales of a Walter Mitty fabulist or worse who inexplicably has found backers for his day dreams.
