Evidence Of ‘Alien Life’ To Be Out Within A Month? NASA Filmmaker Claims So

According to the NASA filmmaker, Simon Holland, an Oxford-funded program has identified non-human intelligence in our galaxy.

Do aliens exist? Couldn't it be possible that some, or at least one, among the millions of planets out there have life? Well, scientists have long been trying to find out the answer. And now, according to a NASA filmmaker, evidence of intelligent alien life has been discovered by the telescopes on the earth. Yes, you read that right!

Simon Holland, a science filmmaker who has worked with NASA, Nat Geo, and BBC, recently claimed (in an interview with The Mirror) that "an Oxford University-backed program dedicated to searching for extraterrestrial signals has made the discovery". He further added that this evidence could be linked to the alien signals intercepted by the Parkes telescope in Australia, courtesy of researchers from the Oxford-based Breakthrough Listen initiative. According to him, scientists may reveal the evidence within the next month.

The filmmaker revealed that he had received the information from a contact at Mark Zuckerberg's Breakthrough Listen initiative (dedicated to finding signs of life beyond our planet). "We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy, and people don’t know about it,” Holland said.

About The Signal

The non-human intelligence signal - a five-hour-long burst of radio waves - was first detected on April 29, 2019. Holland revealed that the signal is believed to have been generated from a region around Proxima Centauri, located approximately 4.2 light-years away from the Earth.

The team from Oxford said that they have been analyzing the signal. Holland said the signal is currently in the "low information zone", adding "The technical hurdles faced are that the signal is very weak". The researchers are reportedly finalizing their findings before making an announcement.

Speaking about the delay in publishing the findings, Holland said, "They are looking for details, hence the delay in publishing the news."

Another 'False Positive'?

It's worth noting that back in October 2021, Breakthrough Listen claimed to have received a similar radio signal. However, it was soon declared as a "false positive". Holland mentioned that the scenario is different this time and that the signal is an electromagnetic spectrum.

In an interview with DailyMail.com, he said, "My contact is a senior EU [European Union] radio telescope administrator. The signal, instead of being the giant buzz of everything in the universe that we hear through all radio telescopes, was a narrow electromagnetic spectrum. It's a single-point source, meaning it's unlikely to be local or noise from deep space. They found the evidence of a non-human technological signature."

The Rivalry Between US & Chinese Researchers To Announce The Discovery

Holland further said that the Chinese researchers are now racing with the US to announce a similar discovery. According to him, the Chinese have the coordinates of the object, BLC-1, which is considered a strong candidate for extraterrestrial life thanks to its "single-point source origin and narrow-band electromagnetic frequency (982 MHz)”.

Notably, Breakthrough Listen has invested $100 million in telescope time to investigate five potential candidates, including BLC-1. Dr. Andrew Siemion, director of the Breakthrough Listen Program at Berkeley, confirmed that they are currently at the final stage of examining the signal.

"... the Chinese might be pipping them to the post, with their, FAST [Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope] program. It's the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo,'' said Holland.

Well, theories and speculations about aliens have always intrigued us. And Simon Holland's claims have taken the entire world by storm. Let's wait and see what's waiting along the way.
