Pentagon UFO chief says alien mothership in our solar system possible
There is a possibility that extraterrestrial motherships and smaller probes may be visiting planets in our solar system, the head of the Pentagon’s unidentified aerial phenomena research office noted in a report draft shared Tuesday.
“[A]n artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions,” Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, wrote in a research report co-authored by Abraham Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department.

A Harvard University astronomer and the head of the Pentagon’s UFO office teamed up to release a draft paper saying that interstellar objects detected in space could be signs of extraterrestrial life, but current sky-mapping technology could miss such objects. NBC News’ Gadi Schwartz has the story.

ABSTRACT
We derive physical constraints on interpretations of “highly maneuverable” Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) based on standard physics and known forms of matter and radiation. In particular,
we show that the friction of UAP with the surrounding air or water is expected to generate a bright
optical fireball, ionization shell and tail - implying radio signatures. The fireball luminosity scales with
inferred distance to the 5th power. Radar cross-section scales similarly to meteor head echoes as the
square of the effective radius of the sphere surrounding the object, while the radar cross-section of the
resulting ionization tail scales linearly with the radius of the ionization cylinder. The lack of all these
signatures could imply inaccurate distance measurements (and hence derived velocity) for single site
sensors without a range gate capability.
