Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, despite the abundance of stories and claims on the internet from those who claim to have observed UFOs or aliens, now generally known as UAPs.
But it appears that our long quest for evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations is about to come to a close. Evidence may be revealed as soon as next month, claims one expert.
Unlike many past claims from pseudoscientists or UFO enthusiasts, these new assertions come from Professor Simon Holland, an academic and prominent scientist who has collaborated with NASA and the BBC.
Two teams of astronomers are rushing to publish their results, according to Holland’s interview with The Mirror. “People don’t know about it,” Holland said, referring to the discovery of an extraterrestrial intelligence that is not human.
Although he didn’t disclose many specifics, Holland said he received the information through a contact at Breakthrough Listen, a private scientific research institute founded by Yuri Milner. He warned against haste, even though the news was wonderful. “Don’t unfurl your ‘Welcome Aliens’ banner and scrunch the tin foil on your hat just yet,” he joked, emphasizing that more research is needed before anyone can definitively confirm the presence of alien life.
The “non-human technological signature” (BLC-1) identified by the Parkes telescope in Australia in 2019 is the focus of the present investigation. Although first findings disproved the signal’s extraterrestrial nature, Holland disclosed that the Oxfordshire-based Breakthrough Listen is re-evaluating the data to collect further proof.
Furthermore, Holland wasted little time in stating that these signals are not likely to be the result of natural causes. “It’s a single point source,” he explained. “The signal, instead of being the giant buzz of everything in the universe that we hear through all radio telescopes, was a narrow electromagnetic spectrum.”
Not only that, but Breakthrough Listen isn’t the sole group involved. Holland states that the Chinese space agency is utilizing their FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo’s collapse, to perform comparable study into the same radio frequencies. “This is breaking news, as of yesterday,” Holland said. “But the Chinese might be pipping them to the post with their FAST program.”
When asked when we might anticipate further information, Holland stated that the Chinese team or Breakthrough Listen will likely share their findings shortly. “The results could be published within the next month or so,” he predicted.
