Ah, shit…They might already be here boys. Buckle up, stay frosty, head in a swivel. Kek

"Aliens might have already landed on Earth, says the Pentagon"

A newly-shared draft document explores the possibility that extraterrestrials have reached our home planet using AI-powered probes

Many people here on Earth are devoted to detecting signs that we aren’t alone in the universe, from amateur conspiracy theorists, to the minds behind professional research centres such as SETI and the Galileo Project. But what if intelligent alien life is already watching us and learning about our civilisation without us knowing it’s even there? According to a draft document released by the head of the Pentagon’s UFO investigation arm earlier this month, that’s a very real possibility.

Authored by Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and Avi Loeb, the chairman of Harvard’s astronomy department (and founder of the ET-hunting Galileo Project) the research report outlines the possibility that aliens have been able to travel to Earth by analysing the physical constraints of spaceflight.

More specifically, the report comes to the conclusion that it’s feasible that alien life has already visited our home planet. Looking at the distance that their crafts would have to travel from planets orbiting distant, Sun-like stars, it notes that they could make the journey in less than a billion years. “Since most stars formed more than a billion years before the Sun,” it adds, “it is possible that other technological civilizations predated ours by the amount of time needed for their devices to reach Earth.”
