I'm not saying it was Aliens...but it was Aliens

Vague terms like “could” and “if” don’t inspire much confidence.

Anyone who thinks we’ve been visited by extraterrestrials should support a massive increase in the funding of SETI.

I think we have, but we will never know.

I don’t think we have. I’d need proof.

I went down a rabbit hole on Youtube the last year.

I'm all about Ancient Aliens....

I didn't know about Sumerians had tablets that people have decoded as stories of  the bible, but can be interpreted in "an Alien way".

The Annunaki?  

Anyone watch any of that theory?  Crazy stuff?  Supposedly 10k years ago?

I can't find any of the "good" youtubes right now that I watched.

I couldn't sleep last night and made it all the way through this one. Some of the stuff he brings up is kind of goofy - a lot of it can at least help broaden your horizons. 

I'm not sure how much of this stuff I wholeheartedly believe but I definitely enjoy hearing alternative theories to some of the murkier parts of human history. I try and treat sources like this as good thought exercises.

And it's aaaaaaaaall true of course.

DUDE!  

 

I will bring a good argument once I find the videos!  Lmao!

 

[nineliveslost 2753]

I love watching all that. Takes me away from all the batshit crazy stuff we deal with day to day in this world. Am I 100% all in? no. Do I think something is going on? possibly. Do I think its time traveler/ Inter dimensional / distant planet alien? maybe .

That machu picchu and puma punku stuff has me curious and what if-ing though...

 

And dont any of you "scientist" bring up facts to ruin my what if-ing

Puma Punku is a fascinating site, with the precision cuts. There has to be an accepted, archeological answer out there.   I've seen a show where they had an engineer discuss the precision of the cuts, and he was amazed at how dead flat, and straight they were.

Yeah cool as fuck. Those images seem to show there are deviations from true square corners though (if I'm seeing them correctly).

The engineer in the show used a table with an engineered dead ass flat top that you could pace objects upon, and see how flat they are. I believe they placed a piece/ a fragment of one of the ruins on the table, and he was amazed at the precision, and no deviations from dead flat/true.

And they supposedly did it all with just stone tools...

 

 

I can sit here and absolutely do no work and just go down the interweb rabbit hole with this shit.

 

And hey !! get paid to do it

I found this article pretty fascinating. Nice little historical view:

Alien Dreams: The Surprisingly Long History of Speculation About Extraterrestrials
The idea that other worlds might be home to alien beings has been part of our thought for as long as we have been looking skyward.

Quote

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
– Carl Sagan (Cosmos, 1980)

This phrase is the standard that astronomers will be applying to a curious signal captured with China’s “Sky Eye” telescope that might be a transmission from alien technology.

An article reporting the signal was posted on the website of China’s state-backed Science and Technology Daily newspaper, but was later removed. So have astronomers finally found evidence of intelligent found life beyond Earth? And is it being hushed up?

We should be intrigued, but not too excited (yet). An interesting signal has to go through a lot of tests to check whether it truly carries the signature of extraterrestrial technology or is just the result of an unexpected source of terrestrial interference.

And as for the deletion: media releases are normally timed for simultaneous release with peer-reviewed results – which are not yet available – so it was likely just released a bit early by mistake.

An eye on the sky

Sky Eye, which is offically known as the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), is the the largest and most sensitive single-dish radio telescope in the world. A engineering marvel, its gargantuan structure is built inside a natural basin in the mountains of Guizhou, China.

The telescope is so huge it can’t be physically tilted, but it can be pointed in a direction by thousands of actuators that deform the telescope’s reflective surface. By deforming the surface, the location of the telescope’s focal point changes, and the telescope can look at a different part of the sky.

FAST detects radiation at radio wavelengths (up to 10 cm) and is used for astronomical research in a wide range of areas. One area is the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI.

SETI observations are mainly done in “piggy-back” mode, which means they are taken while the telescope is also running its primary science programs. In this way, large swaths of the sky can be scanned for signs of alien technology – or “technosignatures” – without getting in the way of other science operations. For special targets like nearby exoplanets, dedicated SETI observations are still carried out.

The hunt for alien technology

Technosignature searches have been ongoing since the 1960s, when the American astronomer Frank Drake pointed the 26-metre Tatel telescope toward two nearby Sun-like stars and scanned them for signs of technology.

Over the years, technosignature searches have become far more rigorous and sensitive. The systems in place at FAST are also able to process billions of times more of the radio spectrum than Drake’s experiment.

Despite these advances, we haven’t yet found any evidence of life beyond Earth.

FAST sifts through enormous amounts of data. The telescope feeds 38 billion samples a second into a cluster of high-performance computers, which then produces exquisitely detailed charts of incoming radio signals. These charts are then searched for signals that look like technosignatures.

With such a large collecting area, FAST can pick up incredibly faint signals. It is about 20 times more sensitive than Australia’s Murriyang telescope at the Parkes Radio Observatory. FAST could easily detect a transmitter on a nearby exoplanet with a similar output power to radar systems we have here on Earth.

The trouble with sensitivity

The trouble with being so sensitive is that you can uncover radio interference that would otherwise be too faint to detect. We SETI researchers have had this problem before.

Last year, using Murriyang, we detected an extremely interesting signal we called BLC1.

However, it turned out to be very strange interference (not aliens). To uncover its true nature, we had to develop a new verification framework.

With BLC1, it took about a year from when it was initially reported to when peer-reviewed analysis was published. Similarly, we may need to wait a while for the FAST signal to be analysed in depth.

Professor Zhang Tongjie, chief scientist for the China Extraterrestrial Civilization Research Group, acknowledged this in the Science & Technology Daily report:

The possibility that the suspicious signal is some kind of radio interference is also very high, and it needs to be further confirmed and ruled out. This may be a long process.

And we may need to get used to a gap between finding candidate signals and verifying them. FAST and other telescopes are likely to find many more signals of interest.

Most of these will turn out to be interference, but some may be new astrophysical phenomena, and some may be bona fide technosignatures.

Stay intrigued

Will FAST’s extraordinary signals meet the burden of extraordinary evidence? Until their work is reviewed and published, it’s still too early to say, but it’s encouraging that their SETI search algorithms are finding curious signals.

Between FAST, the Breakthrough Listen initiative, and the SETI Institute’s COSMIC program, the SETI field is seeing a lot of interest and activity. And it’s not just radio waves: searches are also underway using optical and infrared light.

As for right now: stay intrigued, but don’t get too excited.
