White House on possible existence of aliens: ‘We don’t know’
The White House revealed Wednesday where it now stands on the
possible existence of alien life, telling reporters they “don’t know”
whether the numerous sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)
are proof whether extraterrestrials are real, reports foxnews.com.
“We
don’t know. We don’t have the answers about what these phenomena are,”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told a reporter at the
daily White House press briefing who asked if the U.S. government
believed there “may be life outside of our planet.”
Kirby said he
didn’t have a position on it “one way or the other” that he could
immediately speak to, but did say the government believed “there are
unexplained aerial phenomena that have been sighted and reported by
pilots, Navy and Air Force, that these phenomena have in some cases had
an impact on our training ranges, on our pilots’ ability to fly, train,
operate and stay ready.”
“That alone makes it a national security
issue worth looking at,” he added. “Unidentified aerial phenomena
doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but it’s an honest assessment of
what we think about this problem set. And so we’ll see where it goes.”
Earlier
in the briefing, Kirby told another reporter that he had “no
information” to provide “one way or the other” on the existence of a
“UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,” but admitted the
White House takes the issue of UAPs seriously.
“There’s a whole
office at the Pentagon that is stood up to analyze the data, collect
reports, collate those reports and forward them up appropriately. And
that’s, I think, testament to the fact that we know that in some cases
these phenomena have impacted military training, have an impact on
military readiness,” he said.
The reporter pressed Kirby, asking whether President Biden felt
claims of the existence of such a program warranted further
investigation, and if the White House saw them as credible.
“If
the president didn’t believe that the sightings by pilots were serious
enough to be considered, he wouldn’t have wanted the Pentagon to stand
up an office to look at this, to analyze the data, to collect reports
and provide a system by which we can collate the information and better
figure out what we’ve got here,” Kirby responded.
“But
that work is ongoing. So if your question is do we think we need to be
transparent with the American people, of course, we need to be as
transparent as we can be. But the truth is… we don’t have hard and fast
answers on these things. We are trying to get smarter on it,” he added.
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.
