Pentagon And Harvard Suggest "Mother Ship" Theory For 2017 Unidentified Object

The Pentagon and Harvard have suggested that an unidentified object found in 2017 could be a "mother ship" sending small probes to Earth, as per a draft paper yet to be peer-reviewed.

The paper urges for a more rigorous approach to evaluating unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs.

The paper suggests that an artificial interstellar object could be a "parent craft" releasing smaller probes that might be separated by the Sun's tidal gravitational force or by maneuvering capabilities.

The researchers used physics to rule out sightings of objects that appeared to be "highly maneuverable," including the UAP Oumuamua, which defied the laws of physics.

The paper also considers equipment limitations and optical illusions as alternative explanations for UAP sightings.

Defense officials have demonstrated how night vision goggles used with camera lenses could make an out-of-focus drone appear as a blurry triangular object.

Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb, who also co-authored the paper with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick of the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, acknowledges these possibilities but still believes in extraterrestrial activity.

Loeb directs the Galileo Project at Harvard, which aims to use scientific methods to evaluate hundreds of UAP sightings that have recently become public, and he believes that while aliens may be out there, most of the weird things we see in the sky are not them.
