The Pentagon’s Alien Theory Shocks the Scientific Community
Experts questioned the credibility of the Pentagon’s UFO
investigatory office after its head co-authored a paper positing that
unidentified objects could be tools for aliens to research Earth,
according to Politico.
All-domain
Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) leader Sean Kirkpatrick and Harvard
professor Avi Loeb wrote in a draft article from March 7 that
unidentified aerial phenomena could serve as “probes” from a “parent
craft” operated by extraterrestrial beings, which was first reported by
the Daily Caller.
While experts recognize Kirkpatrick as a capable
and intelligent scientist, some said Kirkpatrick’s willingness to
assign his name to a hypothetical that has little substantive evidence
supporting it could undermine AARO’s credibility, according to Politico.
“It’s
a fine line because there’s ‘being open to speculative ideas’ like
this, but that can be translated into an actual supporting of this
possibility, and I think that’s where there needs to be more clarity,”
Alejandro Rojas, a board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP
Studies, told the outlet. “It does look like [DoD is] supporting some
really wild ideas which thus far are felt to be unsubstantiated.”
Kirkpatrick
has held senior positions in DoD, U.S. Space Command, the National
Security Council and various intelligence agencies and formerly served
as chief scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency’s missile and
space intelligence center, according to Politico.
David Jewitt, a
professor of astronomy at the University of California Los Angeles,
called some of the paper’s claims “highly questionable,” according to
Politico.
In a section titled “The Extraterrestrial Possibility,”
Kirkpatrick and Loeb imagine a scenario where extraterrestrial beings
have equipped vehicles with advanced propulsion technology and
specialized Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“Electronic probes
employing conventional chemical propulsion and refueling that we
currently understand, would be a likely choice for travel within a
planetary system,” the authors wrote. “Such autonomous systems could be
designed to survive even if the senders are not able to communicate with
them, and deposit probes upon arrival to the target planetary systems.”
A
subsequent section discusses the logistics and physical limitations
behind the objects and their hypothetical super-fast propulsion systems,
as well as the signatures such objects would leave for earth-dwellers
to observe, the article shows.
“Once an Earth-like planet is
targeted, an interstellar device can plunge into its atmosphere. In
principle, a multitude of tiny devices can be released from a mothership
that passes near Earth,” the article reads.
The Pentagon
established the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in 2022 to
investigate reports of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, some of
which appear to operate outside the bounds of known physics.
A
recent report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
compiling information from across the U.S. intelligence community
determined that most, if not all, UAP sightings describe everyday
objects or spying devices other countries have deployed. However,
officials do not rule out the possibility of alien life when asked,
according to Politico.

According to NASA, a rogue, hyper-speed object, which is over
27,306 times the size of Earth, is hurtling so fast through our galaxy
that it might break free of the Milky Way.
Scientists say they have determined that the mysterious object was
cruising at a breakneck one million miles per hour when they spotted it
more than 400 light years from Earth. One light-year is equal to six
trillion miles.
Could this latest find be connected to the fake alien invasion that has long been in the pipeline?
The Mail Online reorts: While experts have not determined what the newfound celestial body is, they speculated it is a ‘brown dwarf,’ a star which is larger than a planet but lacks the mass to sustain long-term nuclear fusion in its core like Earth’s sun.
If the object confirmed as a brown dwarf, it would be first-ever to
be documented in a chaotic, hyper-speed orbit capable of breaking free
from our home galaxy.
A coalition of citizen-scientists with NASA’s ‘Backyard Worlds: Planet 9’ projectwere the first to spot the celestial body, the US space agency confirmed this week.
‘I can’t describe the level of excitement,’ German citizen-scientist Martin Kabatnik, a long-time member of NASA’s Backyard Worlds program, said in statement.
‘When I first saw how fast it was moving,’ the Nuremberg-based
researcher confessed, ‘I was convinced it must have been reported
already.’
Backyard Worlds citizen-scientists Martin Kabatnik, Thomas P. Bickle
and Dan Caselden were the first to spot this million mph object a few
years ago, earning the hyper-speed object the catalogued name CWISE
J124909.08+362116.0.
According to astronomer Dr Kyle Kremer,
who has collaborated with them on better understanding the object,
several astrophysics theories could explain how the object, CWISE J1249
for short, could have gotten to its incredible speed.
In one theory, CWISE J1249 rocketed out of a two star or binary star
system after its ‘white dwarf’ sister star died off — collapsing in an
explosive runaway nuclear fusion reaction called a supernova.
Another viable theory has it that CWISE J1249 originated inside a
tight cluster of starts called a ‘globular cluster’ where it was flung
free via the pull of a black hole.
‘When a star encounters a black hole binary,’ Dr Kremer said in a
NASA statement on the discovery, ‘the complex dynamics of this
three-body interaction can toss that star right out of the globular
cluster.’
Sławosz Uznański will be the second Pole in space and the first to fly to the International Space Station (ISS).
Uznański revealed that his mission to the ISS is planned for 2025 and will last about two weeks. He will launch from Cape Canaveral on a rocket provided by SpaceX. This journey not only represents a significant milestone for Uznański but also for Polish space exploration.
Last year, Uznański was officially selected for this mission, after which he commenced his training at the European Space Agency’s facility in Cologne, Germany. Initially planned for 2024, the mission faced delays, but new details have recently emerged on Uznański’s social media profiles.
During his two-week stay on the ISS, he will focus on Polish scientific projects and technology tests, including artificial intelligence applications in space and studies on the effects of microgravity on the human immune system.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) received numerous project proposals for Uznański’s mission. Due to limited space, only seven were selected, highlighting the extensive interest and potential impact of this mission.
Uznański will travel to the ISS in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, a vehicle regularly used by NASA for transporting astronauts. The Crew Dragon will be mounted atop a Falcon 9 rocket, with the launch also set to take place at Cape Canaveral. While the exact launch date is yet to be confirmed, preparations are in full swing.
In a move to further his training, Uznański has relocated to Houston, Texas. Starting Monday, he will begin a new training phase at Axiom Space, a partner in the mission, followed by sessions at NASA and SpaceX facilities. This mission not only propels Uznański into space but also significantly advances Poland’s stature in the global aerospace sector.
