UM-Bot Posted September 23, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2019 A new paper has put forward the idea that an alien civilization may have been watching us for millennia. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/330693/are-alien-probes-hidden-on-nearby-asteroids 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Wellington Posted September 23, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have suggested the same myself. It will be as close as possible to allow real-time information collection without giving the game away. Maybe even in deep Earth Orbit totally cloaked. But if totally cloaked isn't technologically possible then yes, in the asteroid belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted September 23, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2019 "Powered by solar energy from the sun, these 'lurker' probes could stream vast quantities of data about our technology and culture back to its creators on some distant alien world" Oh sure, Aliens with the tech to get here from billions of LYs away are just so enthralled with the amazing humans from planet earth that they want to know everything about our amazing technology and send that info back home LOL The egocentrism of man. how sad. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Wellington Posted September 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 23, 2019 There is an alternative to a large probe based in the Asteroid Belt or Solar System too. We assume that no Ultra-Sub atomic particles exist but if they do something similar to electronics could be constructed. Imagine the power of a supercomputer smaller than an atom. They could disperse them into our atmosphere, they could take up home in our eyes or brains, and transmit information back. Even worse we might have been tagged with Ultra-Sub atomics a long time ago with them replicating each time someone is born in the new host. Every single one of us might be broadcasting our whole lives to aliens without realising it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted September 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Quote On the flip side however, he argues, if we fail to find such a probe it may mean nobody is out there. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/330693/are-alien-probes-hidden-on-nearby-asteroids Just trying to figure out what we have which would be useful to such an advanced species? . . . . . .

highdesert50 Posted September 24, 2019 #16 Share Posted September 24, 2019 So, if we somehow don't squander our planet, survive as a species, and eventually discover this probe, what are the consequences of this discovery? A geocached message that congratulates us on our transition to a mature species, or perhaps a message that says we are now too dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted September 25, 2019 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I suppose this article is based on the prime directive. It makes sense in a way. Think about the Drake equation. Maybe aliens want to know what the values are for the Drake equation. The only way to do that is to observe and collect data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
