Radio signals from mobile phone towers could lead ALIENS to Earth
A new study has determined that intelligent alien beings could find Earth through mobile phone towers and the radio signals they emit.
“The Earth is already anomalously bright in the radio part of the spectrum,” said Mike Garrett, the director of Jodrell Bank Center for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester. “If the trend continues, we could become readily detectable by any advanced civilization with the right technology.”
Garrett and his colleagues used crowdsourced data to simulate the
leakage of radio signals from cell phone towers and to see how hard
these signals would be to discover from other planets. Their findings
were published February 2023 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The researchers found that Earth emits lots of signs of
technologically modern life, with radio leakage originating from cell
phone towers, satellite communications and internet signals. They said
these signals could reach theoretical civilizations living around
adjacent stars, including Barnard’s star – a red dwarf star located six
light-years away that may have a large, Earthlike planet orbiting it.
However, the researchers noted that these signals could only be
detected by aliens with more sensitive instruments than those found on
Earth. But as the signals get louder, even less technologically smart
aliens could possibly detect them.
“I’ve heard many colleagues suggest that Earth has become
increasingly radio quiet in recent years — a claim that I always
contested. Although it’s true, we have fewer powerful TV and radio
transmitters today, the proliferation of mobile communication systems
around the world is profound. While each system represents relatively
low radio powers individually, the integrated spectrum of billions of
these devices is substantial,” Garrett said.
Signals detectable by aliens are growing stronger
The detectability of humans is likely to rise as
Earth’s broadband systems become more powerful. According to Garrett,
current estimates suggest that humans will have more than 100,000
satellites in low Earth orbit and beyond before the end of the decade.
The findings in the study, of which Garrett is the lead author,
showed that the radiation from mobile towers is changeable in intensity
and recurrent in nature because of its non-uniform distribution on
Earth’s surface and the rotation of the planet.
The researchers determined that any nearby civilization situated
within 10 light-years of Earth and equipped with a receiving system
comparable to the Green Bank Telescope are not going to find the mobile
tower leakage from Earth. But those equipped with next-generation
telescopes like Square Kilometer Array or SKA “could do better.”
And the detectable signals from Earth will only grow stronger over
time. Future research should involve other sources of radio leakage like
individual mobile handsets, military radar, digital broadcasting and
Wi-Fi networks, they remarked.
“Every day we learn more about the characteristics of exoplanets via
space missions like Kepler and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey
Satellite, with further insights from the James Webb Space Telescope. I
believe that there’s every chance advanced civilizations are out there,
and some may be capable of observing the human-made radio leakage coming
from Earth,” said study co-author Nalini Heeralall-Issur, an
astrophysicist at the University of Mauritius.

An organization of civilian volunteers dedicated to the study of
unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has issued a statement based on
decades of studying eyewitness reports. According to Mutual UFO Network,
“alien bases” may be hiding off the coast of Alaska, reports the-sun.com.
Researchers
say the deep waters in this region may hold something surprising. After
analyzing reports from the ship’s crew from 1945, they hypothesized
that alien objects could be lurking underwater, off the coast of the
state.
Alleged sightings of alien spacecraft nearly 80 years ago
have become a key point in research. Members of the organization believe
that UFOs move over water and may have “bases.”
Researchers
allege crew members on a U.S. Army transporter ship sailing past Island
Adak saw a massive UFO sized 150 to 200 feet emerge from the water.
Although these reports are nowhere to be found, UFO enthusiasts believe
the unidentified flying vehicles likely were used to commute to
different supposed alien bases hiding in the deep waters.
As
the “secret reports” of the sailors aren’t available, investigators
have taken it upon themselves to unravel the mystery surrounding the
unidentified flying objects and they believe the ocean has alien bases
that humans aren’t aware of.
Enthusiasts claim that UFOs may be
using “underwater networks” or wormholes as superhighways to travel
between points in the universe. UFO researcher Johnny Enoch added that
such objects could serve as a vehicle for aliens.
There are also
theories that other places on Earth could serve as bases for alien life.
A mountain in Seoul, South Korea is believed to be hiding a UFO,
according to Dr. Steven Greer.
An episode of the series “The
Alaska Triangle” features satellite imagery that claims to show one of
the “alien bases” in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.
Meanwhile,
another researcher featured in the program showed markings from the sea
bed that she claimed could have been roadways for aliens.
While
the mysteries of the ocean remain unsolved, researchers continue their
search, trying to unravel the mystery of what may be hiding in the
depths of the waters off the coast of Alaska.
A volcanic comet the size of a mid-sized US city has
violently exploded for the second time in four months as it continues
racing toward the earth. And following the massive eruption, the cloud
of ice and gas sprouted what looked like a pair of gigantic devil horns.
The city-sized comet, named 12P/Pons-Brooks, is a cryovolcanic — or
cold volcano — comet. It has a solid nucleus, with an estimated diameter
of 18.6 miles, and is filled with a mix of ice, dust and gas known as
cryomagma. The nucleus is surrounded by a fuzzy cloud of gas called a
coma, which leaks out of the comet’s interior.
When solar radiation heats the comet’s insides, the pressure builds up
and the comet violently explodes, ejaculating its ice-cold innards into
space through seeping cracks in the nucleus’s shell.
Live Science report:
On Oct. 5, astronomers detected a large outburst from 12P, after the
comet became dozens of times brighter due to the extra light reflecting
from its expanded coma, according to the British Astronomical Association (BAA), which has been closely monitoring the comet
Over the next few days, the comet’s coma expanded further and developed its “peculiar horns,” Spaceweather.com
reported. Some experts joked that the irregular shape of the coma also
makes the comet look like a science fiction spaceship, such as the
Millennium Falcon from Star Wars.
The unusual shape of the comet’s coma is likely due to an irregularity in the shape of 12P’s nucleus, Richard Miles, a BAA astronomer, told Live Science after the comet’s previous eruption.
The outflowing gas is likely being partially obstructed by a notch
sticking out on the nucleus, Miles said. As the gas continues to expand
away from the comet, the irregularity in the coma’s shape becomes more
defined and noticeable, he added.
12P is currently hurtling toward the inner solar system, where it
will be slingshotted around the sun on its highly elliptical 71-year
orbit around our home star — similar to the green comet Nishimura, which
pulled off a near-identical maneuver on Sept. 17.
12P will reach its closest point to Earth on April 21, 2024, when it
may become visible to the naked eye before being catapulted back toward
the outer solar system. It will not return until 2095.
This is the second time 12P has sprouted its horns this year. On July
20, astronomers witnessed the comet blow its top for the first time in
69 years (mainly due to its outbursts being less frequent and harder to
spot during the rest of its orbit). On that occasion, 12P’s coma grew to
around 143,000 miles (230,000 km), which is around 7,000 times wider
than the comet’s nucleus.
It is unclear how large the coma grew during the most recent
eruption, but there are signs the outburst was “twice as intense” as the
previous one, the BAA noted. By now, the coma has likely shrunk back to
near its normal size.
As 12P continues to race toward the sun, there is a high probability
that we will witness several more major eruptions. It is possible that
those eruptions will be even bigger than the most recent one as the
comet soaks up more solar radiation, according to Spaceweather.com.
But 12P is not the only volcanic comet that astronomers are currently
monitoring: 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann (29P) — the most volatile volcanic
comet in the solar system — has also had several noticeable eruptions
in the last year.
In December 2022, 29P experienced its largest eruption in around 12 years, which sprayed around 1 million tons of cryomagma into space. And in April this year, for the first time ever, scientists accurately predicted one of 29P’s eruptions before it actually happened, thanks to a slight increase in the comet’s brightness in the lead-up to the icy explosion.
