Alien mothership may be in the solar system

According to Military Times , Mr. Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the Anomalous Airborne Reconnaissance Office (AARO), US Department of Defense and Mr. Abraham Loeb, Head of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University (USA), are co-authors of the above research report.

In the report, Mr. Kirkpatrick said: “There is an artificial interstellar object that is likely a mothership, launching many small probes on a journey near Earth, a mode of operation not too different from the missions of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)”.

AARO was established to research and investigate “unidentified objects” around US military facilities. Therefore, the AARO report admitting the existence of signs of extraterrestrial life has made enthusiasts in this field particularly interested.

On the other hand, Mr. Loeb (Mr. Kirkpatrick's partner) became famous when through his research he affirmed that the first alien visitor entered our solar system in October 2017.

At that time, the PanSTARRS telescope in Hawaii detected an object moving at such high speeds that researchers said it did not belong to the solar system. The object's path and movement also showed that it was not something affected by the Sun's gravity.

The strange object was named Oumuamua, which means “Scout” in Hawaiian.

In their new study, Kirkpatrick and Loeb refer to the object as an example of alien life entering the solar system.

“With the right design, these tiny probes would arrive at Earth or other planets in the solar system to explore as their mothership crossed the Earth-Sun gap — just as Oumuamua did,” the authors explain in the report.

“Astronomers will not be able to notice the presence of these probes because they are too small and do not reflect enough sunlight for current telescopes to detect,” the two experts asserted.

Recently, US senators sent a letter to the administration urging the military to fully fund AARO. In the letter, officials wrote: “AARO provides an opportunity to integrate and address threats and risks to the United States while providing greater transparency to the public. AARO’s success will depend on strong funding for its operations and cooperation between the Department of Defense and the intelligence community.”
