A British academic believes he has stumbled on the most world-changing piece of news in recorded history.
Professor Simon Holland, who has produced documentaries for NASA-funded projects including a project pinpointing Earth-threatening asteroids, says that two rival groups of astronomers are in a race to publish the first confirmed evidence of an extraterrestrial civilisation.
He told The Mirror: “We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy, and people don't know about it.” Simon explains that he has been given information by a contact within Mark Zuckerbeg's Breakthrough Listen, a privately-funded initiative aimed at finding evidence of civilisations beyond Earth.
And the news may come within the next month to coincide with the US election, he believes. He claims that astronomers within the Oxford-based project have identified clear evidence of transmissions from another world...
I suppose we'll have to wait and see but the history of "big alien announcement coming within weeks" headlines doesn't make me hopeful. However, he is more high-profile than most people making these claims and is going to look like a plum if nothing happens.
Worth noting he made the first claims about this back in August but it seems things have moved on since then, which would suggest the information he is being fed has updated with time. Could still be someone pulling his leg.
Call me old Mr Skeptical Trousers, but has anyone checked to see if the microwave door was left open again?
Not that I don’t await exciting news about a huge alien.
Yeah okay sure,
Simon explains that he has been given information by a contact within Mark Zuckerbeg's Breakthrough Listen, a privately-funded initiative aimed at finding evidence of civilisations beyond Earth.
lol
