Marco G. — Silent on the web and decked out with the legend of being the intersection of technology, innovation and creativity , a site of futuristic posts appeared endorsed by none other than Northrop Grumman Corporation , a conglomerate of American aerospace and defense companies, fourth Largest US military defense contractor and number one warship builder.
So the site that we are talking about and is called NOW, is not anything we say, and that is why I am going to share the post they recently published where they question whether we are really on the eve of an alien invasion.
Surely you will think, well , what is the famous aerospace firm Northrop Grumman doing financing this type of editorial aimed at the mass media ?, and indeed it is the same question that we ask ourselves.
However, it is important to remember that we are living in moments of federal declassification where national security agencies are exposing various documents and videos that show incidents with unidentified ships.
It is quite clear the allusions and references of boats whose origin they do not want or want to explain to us yet, supposedly they do not know exactly what they are.
Whatever the Pentagon game , let’s see this interesting post about the bittersweet moments of the American declassification, a historical situation that can change the paradigm that Man is the natural inhabitant of this planet.
According to NOW, we better leave this up front: aliens are not coming to conquer Earth or capture the population despite what some alien enthusiasts may claim.
WHAT?
They go on to claim that even so, the recent Unexplained Aerial Phenomena Report (UAPS) raises some interesting questions about our place in the universe and the possibility that we are not alone.
Our alien obsession
Human history is replete with extraterrestrial interests. As Scientific American pointed out , one of the first mentions of extraterrestrial life came from a novel written in 200 AD by Luciano de Samosata called Vera Historia.
In it, a trip to the moon is described that includes strange creatures such as three-headed vultures, birds made of grass, and humans who sweat milk instead of water.
And the comedy is also a popular extraterrestrial interpretation, with works like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that imagines what would happen if our planet were destroyed, not by malice, but by aliens who build an interstellar detour.
According to Politico , this fictional fascination with aliens also made its way into the realm of reality.
In 1995, real estate mogul Robert Bigelow created the National Institute for the Science of Discovery (NIDS) ; his first meetings in Las Vegas included some scientists and engineers, a CIA spy , a former army colonel, and two Apollo astronauts.
Their common feature? all felt that government officials were not paying enough attention to possible extraterrestrial efforts on Earth.
The UAPS Report
To some extent, modern efforts by alien hunters have been successful: On June 25 , 2021 , the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its preliminary assessment of unidentified aerial phenomena.
The report is intended to provide “an overview for policymakers of the challenges associated with characterizing the potential threat posed by UAP, while also providing a means to develop relevant processes, policies, technologies, and training. the U.S. Army
And other US governments (USG) staff in case they come across UAP, in order to enhance the Intelligence Community (IC) ability to understand the threat. “
But what does this mean in practice? Simply put, the government cannot confirm or deny the existence of aliens. Still, there are snippets of fascinating information contained in the report.
Here are some key takeaways.
Not everything has an easy answer
As a recent CNN article examining the report pointed out , the UAP data breaks down the sightings into five broad categories : airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, USG or US development programs, foreign systems, and “other.” .
It is the “other” that is interesting, since it effectively recognizes that there are inexplicable observations. While it may eventually be determined that these cases are linked to more familiar operations, in the meantime they open the door to creative analysis.
Current reports are credible
The report also notes that many of the reported incidents were observed “first-hand by military aviators and were collected from systems we believe to be reliable.”
In other words, these are not simply observations made by individual citizens; They are sightings reported by trained military personnel and backed by reliable technologies.
While this does not necessarily imply that aliens are causing these phenomena, it does suggest the need for further investigation.
Interesting actions were observed
In most cases, the sightings could be explained by considering relevant variables, but the report states that “in 18 incidents , described in 21 reports , observers reported unusual movement patterns or flight characteristics of UAP.
Some UAPs appeared to remain stationary in high winds, to move against the wind, to maneuver abruptly, or to move at considerable speed, with no discernible means of propulsion. In a small number of cases, military aircraft systems processed radio frequency (RF) energy associated with UAP sightings. “
This means that there were instances where personnel saw objects behaving in ways that were not consistent with the current limitations of aerospace engineering.
Social stigmas may have reduced total sightings
There is also a section of the report that addresses the impact of social stigma around the observation, reporting and discussion of UAP sightings, which may have kept the total number of sightings artificially low.
While more experts are now willing to take the issue seriously, the report notes that “reputational risk can keep observers quiet, complicating the scientific search for the topic.”
Data grouping is common
Sites like Area 51 have long been suggested as secret alien research facilities, but as a recent Nextgov article points out, the report’s data makes it clear that UFO sightings tend to cluster around military facilities.
This makes sense, as these bases are often equipped with advanced sensor and defensive technology that makes them much more likely to detect potential visitors.
It’s also worth noting that the declassified report is just one part of a larger whole. According to the Nextgov article, “It is important to note that the unclassified version of the task force report is only a few preliminary pages long. Videos, photos and data that I and my colleagues at the Pentagon were aware of were not included. “
Making sense of UFO sightings
The fact that the report did not provide definitive answers regarding certain UFO sightings has not stopped the rampant speculation, which has mostly involved reading between the lines or making incredibly broad assumptions.
For some, the revelation that US defense programs did not have standardized detection capabilities until 2019 suggests a deliberate suppression of data designed to keep the public in the dark.
Others, like the controversial academic Avi Loeb , have claimed that the report’s findings support the idea that aliens have visited Earth.
Loeb argues that the report gives credence to his theory that Oumuamua , the cigar-shaped asteroid that passed through our solar system in 2018, was actually an alien spacecraft, even though no evidence was found to support this conclusion.
The release of the report and serious consideration of a possible extraterrestrial interaction are important steps for the government, which has historically been silent on the issue.
From establishing standardized sensor networks to recognizing that there are some things that people have seen that simply cannot be explained, the report sets the stage for a scientific, rather than a speculative, framework to help humanity discover if humans are really alone. here, or if the cosmic neighbors are closer than most people think.
As the UAPS report says, “Explaining the UAP will require an investment of analytics, compilation and resources.”
Finally NOW advises that Interested in everything related to outer space and exploration? We also. Take a look at the job openings at Northrop Grumman and consider joining their team.
