Aliens Find Curiosity Rover On Mars, Watches From Distance, UFO Sighting News.
Date of photo: June 16, 2019 Location of discovery: Mars Source:
The white UFO was seen in the most recent photo taken by the NASA rover. The UFO in the distance is watching the Mars rover...studying this primitive device. I wonder if this is the closest they have come to the rover, or have they actually physically touched it in any way. I have seen many white glowing lights on Mars, but never one hovering and never one the shape of disk. This is new to me. I need to dig deeper into the photos to see if its been caught in any other photos. I would love to see this closer and at a different angle. Scott C. Waring

Alien Orb Size Of Car Close To Passenger Jet During Sunset, June 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Orb Size Of Car Close To Passenger Jet During Sunset, June 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:June 2019 Location of sighting: unknown This UFO was recorded passing a passenger jet during sunset last week. The UFO is coming very close the the plane and if we compare size, then the UFO would be about the size of a car. That is no small object to be so close to an aircraft with so many passengers! I wonder if it even showed up on radar or not? Believe it or not, this does happen daily at most airports around the world. Than means it happens tens of thousands of times a day, but few ever look up and record a jet. Scott C. Waring

American President Trump Reveals He Had Meeting on UFOs
American President Trump Reveals He Had Meeting on UFOs
In a new development that will either ignite dozens of more conspiracy theories or douse twice as many as new ones, United States President Donald Trump has said he met with officials about UFOs although he reiterated that he did not particularly believe in them.
Trump revealed that the military briefed him on UFO sightings.
He said that he had seen, read, and heard and did one very brief meeting on it. He pointed out that people were saying they saw UFOs, but he did not believe it particularly.
Despite Trump’s disinterest on UFOs, the military has been keeping an eye on the skies recently. After the increase in UFO reports, the Navy recently set new guidelines for reporting UFOs entering US aerospace, making sure all sightings get the proper investigations.
Last month, the Pentagon admitted that Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) was involved in research and investigation of UFOs. Defense Department spokesman Christopher Sherwood revealed that the AATIP’s main focus was investigating UFO event.
The AATIP was shut down in 2012, but only in 2017, the AATIP’s existence was known. Sherwood claimed that the government still has a department until now to handle alleged sightings of alien aircraft.
Greenish-Yellow Pulsating Light UFOs Keep Pace With A Korean Airliner
Greenish-Yellow Pulsating Light UFOs Keep Pace With A Korean Airliner
The passengers onboard of a Korean airliner were left baffled after seeing a UFO flying beside them. Lucas Kim managed to snap pictures of the strange aerial event as it split into six separate objects leaving travelers confused.
The UFO kept pace with the airliner flying towards Thailand. Lucas Kim looked out of his window when he noticed something similar to the scene from The Twilight Zone episode, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.
Kim first thought it was just another jet, but he realized it was too close for comfort. Something was not right with the scene, so he grabbed his phone and started recording the UFO.
He could not believe what he was observing as it wasn’t a plane at all. He saw the UFO split into six mysterious objects surrounded by a greenish-yellow pulsating light.

Strange object filmed from a plane over Port of Prince, Haiti 1-Jn-2019
Strange object filmed from a plane over Port of Prince, Haiti 1-Jun-2019
This strange partially invisible object was filmed from a plane over Haiti on 1st June 2019.
Witness report:
unknown flying object at huge speed. the heading of the plane is 335 as on film, it looks like a could but according to plane position, and relative position of the object it can t be a cloud, cause that would say this could is supersonic…..rmk : aircraft speed is around 450kts at the moment….
Do these Pentagon pictures prove UFOs ARE real? TOM LEONARD investigates after US Navy pilots claimed to have spotted fast-flying objects during late-night training
Do these Pentagon pictures prove UFOs ARE real? TOM LEONARD investigates after US Navy pilots claimed to have spotted fast-flying objects during late-night training
Several U.S. Navy aviators came forward to claim UFO sightings during training
They say objects were spotted over Eastern seaboard between 2014 and 2015
Pilots say objects flew at hypersonic speeds without leaving engine exhaust
They said that the UFOs were also able to stop quickly and turn suddenly
The fighter pilots could hardly conceal their surprise as they tracked the object moving at incredible speed above the waves. 'Wow, what is that, man?' says one excitedly. 'Look at it fly!'
Infrared cockpit-camera footage taken on a later sortie by the same U.S. Navy squadron reveals another immensely fast-flying object, this one spinning in mid-air and moving against a 120-knot wind, again accompanied by commentary from totally baffled airmen.
Although the footage shows only one of these objects, a pilot is heard to say: 'There's a whole fleet' showing up on his monitors. And as the one in the film turns slowly in the air, a shocked voice chimes in: 'Look at that thing! It's rotating!'
Between the summer of 2014 and March 2015, it's now emerged, these unexplained objects were spotted almost every day over the skies off the U.S. East Coast.
Highly qualified U.S. Navy pilots — flying from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and training for active duty in the Persian Gulf — told their superiors the objects seemingly defied the laws of physics.
About 30-40ft long and shaped like a Tic Tac mint, they had no wings or rotors — in fact, they had no discernible means of propulsion or flight — and, yet, they could hover in the sky, slow suddenly and accelerate almost instantaneously to hypersonic speeds of a mile a second.
Between the summer of 2014 and March 2015 these unexplained objects were spotted almost every day over the skies off the U.S. East Coast
Radar showed they could fly as high as 80,000ft. One pilot compared their remarkable manoeuverability to a ping-pong ball bouncing off a wall. The resulting G-force would crush any humans inside.
A near collision was recorded in an official mishap report, when, in late 2014, the pilot of a Super Hornet fighter jet almost hit one of them. The pilot said it looked like a sphere encasing a cube.
'These things would be there all day,' said Lt Ryan Graves, a Super Hornet pilot of ten years' service. He and four other pilots reported their sightings to the Pentagon and to Congress, but only now have they spoken out publicly.
Their accounts — backed by the infrared camera footage and reports of a strikingly similar encounter that occurred a decade earlier — appear to have bounced the U.S. Navy into action.
Amid claims it has ignored or covered up sightings in the past, it has now been forced to admit it does investigate what it calls 'unexplained aerial phenomena', and that it has just introduced a formal, albeit secret, procedure for military personnel to report what the rest of us know as UFOs.
Former U.S. officials have welcomed the move, saying the government needs to take the issue seriously and remove the stigma attached to reporting incidents.
clearly this is not some giant hoax and, given the weight of evidence, it's hard to swallow the arguments of sceptics who say these newly publicised sightings can be explained by human error or equipment failure .
In which case, many experts agree, only two possible explanations remain: either someone or some country has secretly developed jaw-droppingly advanced technology, or the giant flying Tic Tacs don't come from this planet.
Highly qualified U.S. Navy pilots — flying from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and training for active duty in the Persian Gulf — told their superiors the objects seemingly defied the laws of physics
Nobody at the Pentagon is saying the objects were extraterrestrial, and scientists stress that more mundane explanations are often found for such incidents. (Last week, for instance, billionaire Elon Musk's company SpaceX, sent 60 satellites into orbit, prompting excited stargazers across the world to report UFOs.)
The pilots' evidence was sent for analysis at a secret Pentagon outfit called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which investigates encounters between UFOs and U.S. military.
Angry that his government wasn't doing more to counter what could be a profound security threat, the boss of the Identification Program, Luis Elizondo, decided to release the footage of the UFO encounters into the public domain, and in 2017 resigned his post.
Mr Elizondo is believed to be the most senior U.S. official ever to say that the UFO phenomenon is real.
And now, two years on from his release of the footage, some of the pilots involved in the encounters appear to corroborate his view, speaking to the New York Times and makers of a forthcoming History Channel documentary series, Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation.
They say they only started noticing the UFOs after their Eighties-era radar was modernised. Initially, they ignored them, thinking they were false radar tracks.
However, they kept appearing as the carrier group sailed between Virginia and Florida, at varying altitudes, at immense speeds far faster than any fighter jet.
Whatever fuelled the UFOs, it was clearly much more advanced than anything known to the U.S. Navy. They were able to tear around the sky for 12 hours at a time, when a navy jet could only manage an hour before having to refuel, says Lt Graves.
A fellow pilot, Lt Danny Accoin, says he encountered the objects twice. The first time he picked one up on his radar, he set his plane to head towards it, albeit flying 1,000ft below.
Amid claims it has ignored or covered up sightings in the past, it has now been forced to admit it does investigate what it calls 'unexplained aerial phenomena', and that it has just introduced a formal, albeit secret, procedure for military personnel to report what the rest of us know as UFOs
Even though it was clearly visible on his radar, missile system and infrared camera, he couldn't see it through his helmet camera.
Then, the pilots started seeing the objects with their naked eyes. 'No distinct wings, no distinct tail, no distinct exhaust plume,' says Lt Accoin. 'It seems like they were aware of our presence, because they would actively move around us.'
Lt Graves said he once bumped into a squadron mate who had just returned from a mission 'with a look of shock on his face'. He told him he had 'almost hit one of those things' as he and another pilot flew just 100ft apart. Something suddenly flew right between them.
The pilots initially believed they had stumbled into a top-secret U.S. drone project, but, after the near miss, they reasoned the Pentagon wouldn't possibly behave so irresponsibly as to let them fly so close.
It's not the first time that U.S. Navy pilots have reported disturbing encounters in broad daylight with a 'giant Tic Tac'.
In November 2004, two Super Hornets were on a routine training mission over the Pacific, 100 miles out from San Diego, when a cruiser, the USS Princeton, radioed them and ominously asked if they were armed.
The ship had spent two weeks tracking strange, unidentified aircraft that appeared suddenly at an altitude of 80,000ft, then plunged towards the sea. At 20,000ft, they stopped and hovered before either disappearing out of radar range or shooting straight up again.
Cmdr David Fravor and his colleagues only had dummy missiles, but they were directed to the last known location of one of the objects. In the sea, they saw a large object just below the surface of the water, and another, 50ft above, hovering erratically. They described it as 40ft long, white, wingless and shaped like an oblong pill.
As Cmdr Fravor flew towards it, the second object rose to meet him at a fast speed and acceleration. Flying with the other pilot was an unidentified weapons systems operator, who is now a senior naval officer.
She told the History Channel: 'The hair on the back of my neck was standing up. I was thinking: 'I'm going to be watching a disaster here.' You're wondering: 'How can I possibly fight this?' '
Instead, the object suddenly peeled away at a speed that Fravor admits left him feeling 'pretty weirded out'.
He was even more 'weirded out' when the Princeton told him its radar showed the object had reappeared under a minute later, 60 miles away at the planes' precise rendezvous point.
How did it travel so fast, at a speed of 3,700 mph (the Super Hornet's top speed is 1,190 mph), and how did it know his rendezvous point? Another jet was swiftly sent up with an infrared camera and captured a grainy 90-second film of the 'Tic Tac' flying slowly, then zipping away fast.
Sceptics question whether there are bugs in the planes' imaging systems, or whether the pilots were tricked by atmospheric effects and reflections.
However, Kevin Day, the Princeton's senior radar operator at the time, says his screen showed well over 100 UFOs over the course of that week. 'Watching them on the display was like watching snow fall from the sky,' he says.
Cmdr Fravor says: 'There is a capability out there, I don't know where it's from. I'm not saying it's from outer space, but I'm not saying it's from here either.'
Some physicists have outlined how 'field propulsion' systems can move an object at astonishing speeds without any propellant, by creating external force fields so the space around the object moves rather than the object.
However, the theory is purely speculative — perhaps even less feasible than little green men in physics-defying spaceships.
WHAT IS THE SECRET PENTAGON DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION ON UFO ATTACKS?
UFO enthusiasts have argued for decades that the U.S. government has been covering up the existence of unidentified craft containing alien visitors.
The idea that a hush-hush government outfit was investigating sightings and other bizarre phenomena famously provided the basis for TV drama series The X-Files.
Now, it seems the cult series wasn't such a flight of fancy after all.
The shadowy Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program's existence was intentionally buried in the defense department's $600 billion (£448.76 bn) annual budget, as were its headquarters, deep within the labyrinthine Pentagon building.
Based on the fifth floor of C Ring, the secret department has spent years investigating reports of unidentified flying objects.
Although the Pentagon officially stopped funding the project in 2012, insiders told the New York Times it is still operating. And, more tantalizingly, intelligence experts who ran it, and politicians who backed it, insist its research has not been fruitless.
Having investigated myriad reports from U.S. servicemen of encounters between unknown objects and military planes, they are convinced that nothing in this world can explain them.
Navy Pilot Says Fleet of UFOs Followed US Aircraft
Navy Pilot Says Fleet of UFOs Followed US Aircraft
During training missions between 2014 and 2015, seasoned pilots of the U.S. Navy experienced several encounters with UFOs. Impossible flying objects moving at hypersonic speeds at altitudes up to 30,000 feet were recorded on their aircraft cameras and radar. Pilots reported that these unidentified flying objects had no visible means of propulsion.
Six pilots reported seeing UFOs from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt between 2014 and 2015 during flights along Virginia to Florida.
Two of the involved pilots share their stories in a documentary series of History Channel featuring two aerial encounters. They show clips of one little white speck and one giant, dark blob. These unusual objects are later known as Go Fast and Gimbal, respectively.
According to Lt Danny Accoin, these UFOs had no distinct wing, tail, and exhaust plume and somewhat aware of their presence as these mysterious objects would actively move around them.
The lieutenant said that it was possible to say that it was just a false alarm when an unusual reading showed up on the radar for the first time, but it was another story as they got multiple sensors reading the exact the same thing.
Accoin stated that he encountered UFOs twice and his tracking equipment, radar and infrared cameras on aircraft detected UFOs both times but did not manage to capture them on his helmet camera.
F-18 pilot Lt. Ryan Graves claimed that a squadron of UFOs followed his Navy strike group for months in the eastern coast of the U.S. Graves said the UFOs reappeared in March 2015, after Roosevelt was deployed to the Arabian Gulf.
The lieutenant said that they had issues with the UFOs when they went out to the Middle East.
Following this spate of UFO sightings, the U.S. Navy issued official guidelines in 2015 for personnel to report and investigate UFOs. Earlier this year, those Navy protocols were updated, mandating that all data will be classified information and won’t be available to the general public.
UFO sightings have been reported as early as 1400 BC, and Cook County is one of those famous places allegedly visited by aliens. A local Cook County woman had caught the attention of Dr. James McDonald after she claimed of witnessing a UFO in the sky. Her case was one of several sightings featured in U.S. Air force national study “Condon Report.”
The effort of scientist McDonald to locate the woman led to a correspondence with Adolf “Ade” Toftey of Cook County News-Herald editor.
This is the story of searching the local woman, featuring original letters from the Cook County Historical Society archives.
This feature is produced by Martha Marnocha and a collaboration between the Cook County Historical Society and WTIP.
Special appreciations to Erik Hahn as the voice of scientist James McDonald.
New UFO video of a strange activity over Area 51 in Nevada.
Witness report:
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of May 24, 2019, while aiming my camera directly towards the center of the base at Area 51 which is 77 miles away. The final object in this video took off so fast it only occupied one frame of the video. This is only the second time in more than five years that I’ve filmed an object that was leaving the ground at such a speed that it created a rainbow of colors. In both videos, it only occupied a single frame of the video. This isn’t a camera glitch because there definitely would have been more of them along the way had there been some kind of mechanical issue with either of the cameras. This is just one more piece of evidence that Area 51 is still very active. I am confident that it is Area 51 because the distance between here and there isn’t that far and there is nothing in between that would account for this type of object.

An unidentified flying object has been spotted on the Red Planet’s surface, alien conspiracy theorists have claimed.
Some conspiracy theorists made the controversial claim on a strange coloured object found on Google Mars. A YouTube video was uploaded to support the claim. They said that the mysterious anomaly was actually a UFO that has crashed into a crater on Mars.
The unusual thing looks like a thick disc spacecraft.
The video shows burn and scorch marks after rotating the compass.
Conspiracy theorists speculated they saw an edge to the surface of the blue disc. They said that the UFO was a biologically-grown spacecraft because of its rough edges resemble something organically grown.
They believe that the discovery shows one of the most detailed living ships of aliens.
With the use of photo-editing software, they estimated the scorch mark trail was measuring around 6.25 miles and the UFO measuring approximately 1.28 miles across.
Other commenters of the video thought that it could be an underground base rather than a disc because the blue light area that looks like a light coming up from a massive hole.
We have accomplished a lot in our (relatively) short time on Earth. We’ve sent humans to the Moon and to live in space, developed massive and sophisticated telescopes to see the farthest reaches of the cosmos, and even rocketed rovers to Mars and probes to the edge of our solar system. However, a number of organizations have taken humanity’s voyage into the final frontier a step farther. NASA, the European Space Agency, and the research collective behind the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) have been working tirelessly to find out if we are alone, once and for all.
Already, a number of projects exist that scan the stars for signs of intelligent life. And despite the fact that many of them have been looking to the skies for decades, we have yet to make contact. And that’s a bit of a problem.
0. The Paradox That Started It All
To put it mildly, our solar system is very old. In fact, scientists are still figuring out just how old — clues gathered from meteorites suggest it is almost 5 billion years old, and surrounding star systems are likely billions of years older. While interstellar travel still seems to be a distant dream, new technology is born every year that allows us to scan the skies for signals from civilizations in the most distant corners of the cosmos. The number of known alien worlds and star systems discovered through these technologies continues to rise, but our creative methods of listening to space have not yet revealed anything that resembles extraterrestrial communications or civilizations.
Given the size and age of our universe, it seems like we should have made contact. We, of course, have not.
In the early 20th century, physicist Enrico Fermi asked himself a now-famous question: Given the scope of our universe, why haven’t we found intelligent extraterrestrial life yet (or why haven’t they found us)? This is sometimes called the Fermi Paradox or the Great Silence. Scientists have floated many possible answers in the century since Fermi first asked this question. Here are some of the most plausiblereasons why he haven’t made first contact.
Basic probability asserts that alien life must exist. Since we haven’t made contact yet, one theory goes, there must be something barring life from interstellar travel or, at least, barring it from communicating with other alien species. This barrier is known as the “Great Filter,” and it is a force or event that stops a civilization from getting to the aforementioned point of interstellar travel or communication.
If the theory holds true, there are two primary reasons that we haven’t made contact: Because societies kill themselves off before they reach a state advanced enough to explore the stars orinterstellar travel is simply not possible on a technological scale. Neither option is particularly pleasing.
And according to the experts behind the work, the filter event is of equal or greater probability than the existence of alien life itself. This is the point argued by Robin Hanson, a research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, in his discussion of the topic.
No alien civilizations have substantially colonized our solar system or systems nearby. Thus among the billion trillion stars in our past universe, none has reached the level of technology and growth that we may soon reach. This one data point implies that a Great Filter stands between ordinary dead matter and advanced exploding lasting life.
Since we have not been able to detect alien life (or leave the solar system much, for that matter), how far are we from being caught up in some event that would bar us from ever finding aliens? “The easier it was for life to evolve to our stage, the bleaker our future chances probably are,” Hanson writes. In other words, the more life there is in the cosmos, the greater the likeliness that we are about to reach a cataclysmic, life-ending event or reach the cosmic limits of technological advancement.
2. Do Not Disturb The Aliens
Another hypothesis asserts that alien civilizations certainly exist, but they’re simply inactive. That’s the “aestivation hypothesis” (aestivation refers to an organism’s state of prolonged inactivity, similar to a bear hibernating or a frog that buries itself in sand during hot weather), which was put forth by researchers from Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute and the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade.
The theory, published in a paper in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society in 2017, states that aliens may be “hibernating” until the environmental conditions are just right to become active and build their super society. The researchers argue that the laws of thermodynamics directly limit computation, as computing technologies need to be cooled in order to function. This makes it exceedingly difficult to create advanced technologies, as keeping them cool at scale quickly becomes prohibitively difficult. So the aliens are falling into a dormant until, to be blunt, the universe cools.
But distilling the development of a civilization to the kinds of conditions that our current, and somewhat imperfect, models can predict could be reductive. What if intelligent extraterrestrial life has found a way around the thermodynamic conditions that limit its ability to compute? “What if there are other forms of value that can be generated?” the study authors write. If they’re wrong about the relationship between thermodynamics and technology, the aestivation hypothesis would be moot. In this case, perhaps one of the other ideas here holds true.
According to the “Gaian Bottleneck” hypothesis, life needs particular environmental conditions to develop, and they’re not so common. Astrobiologists at the Australian National University penned their explanation to the Fermi Paradox in 2016.
Extinction is “the cosmic default for most life that has ever emerged on the surfaces of wet rocky planets in the Universe,” the researchers wrote. That’s because a planet has to be actually inhabited for it to be habitable, because organisms change the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A Catch-22 emerges: no life without habitability, no habitability without life.
For alien life to persist, the researchers write, it must hang on: “like trying to ride a wild bull. Most life falls off.” Life can only take place with the presence of an unlikely feedback loop. In this case, Earth is the exception to the rule.
4. Trapped In Deep Oceans
In 2015, after nearly a decade in transit, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft became the first to do a close flyby of Pluto. It offered humanity its first look at its icy surface and raised questions about the possibility of subsurface oceans of water, and lots of methane and nitrogen. These questions put Pluto on a short but growing list of worlds with buried oceans trapped under a thick crust of ice and rock (some of the other worlds are Saturn’s moons Enceladus and Titan, as well as Jupiter’s moons Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede).
Those oceans figure prominently into another theory of where life might be lurking, one that Alan Stern, the principal investigator for New Horizons, touches on. Since buried oceans form a much more stable ecosystem than flowing surface streams, changes such as altering tides and dissipationtake place over a longer time period. A hard outer shell protects hypothetical life in the oceans from a harsh climate and a lethal mix of gases on the surface. “Impacts and solar flares, and nearby supernovae, and what orbit you’re in, and whether you have a magnetosphere, and whether there’s a poisonous atmosphere — none of those things matter,” Stern told Space.com.
Any intelligent alien life that forms in these deep oceans would have to overcome a big hurdle to reach inhabitants of other worlds: drilling through that thick, protective crust. All that work would only get them to the surface — sending signals to other planets become even more unlikely.
For the past eighty years or so, we’ve been listening for signs of extraterrestrial life with radio technology. The Allen Telescope Array, situated 470 km (290 miles) northeast of San Francisco, is one of the biggest — since 2007, 42 dishes have stood at the ready to scan the skies regularly in the hope of receiving radio signals from extraterrestrial life.
But what if extraterrestrial life doesn’t operate on those frequencies? Attempts at contact could simply be passing us by simply because we don’t comprehend the right wavelengths.
Instead of using telescope arrays and scanning the skies for radio signals, Duncan Forgan at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland suggests creating a galactic communications network. The same way we blink our high beams to send a signal to other drivers, we could use the shadow that Earth creates when it passes in front of the Sun to send a message to our fellow inhabitants of the universe. Forgan suggests that we build powerful lasers that contain those encoded messages, which are sent out as we pass in front of the Sun.
“If you want to communicate with someone on the other side of the galactic centre, there’s lots of stuff in the way – dust, stars, a big black hole – so you can take the long way around using the network,” Forgan tells New Scientist. Rather than letting intergalactic messages get lost in the vastness of space, civilizations in different galaxies could agree to use this “galactic communications network” to ensure their messages get to their intended recipients – a unified system to cut through the chatter.
6. We Are Being Impatient
We’ve only been actively reaching out for alien life for about a century — a mere blip in the long history of the solar system and of the universe overall. Evan Solomonides, an astrophysics and mathematics undergrad and researcherat Cornell University, suggests that it could take a while — about 1,500 years from now, to be precise — before we hear from any extraterrestrials.
In a paper submitted to the American Astronomical Society, Solomonides examines the probability of finding life. “We predict that under 1 percent of the galaxy has been reached at all thus far, and we do not anticipate to be reached until approximately half of the stars/planets have been reached.” Solomonides believes that we will have explore around half of the Milky Way galaxy before we hear anything, which will take a while since we’ve barely explored our own galactic neighborhood.
Solomonides is careful to note that the 1,500 years is not a deadline. “This is not to say that we must be reached by then or else we are, in fact, alone. We simply claim that it is somewhat unlikely that we will not hear anything before that time.”
