Can radioactivity help to attract UFOs ? Image Credit: Midjourney
Luring inquisitive extraterrestrials to our planet using nuclear radiation seems like a bit of a shot in the dark.
Rather than relying on chance encounters with UFOs, what if it was possible to study potentially otherworldly visitors by deliberately luring them to your location ?
This is the premise behind a rather strange idea that, according to news outlets, has been championed recently by Kevin Knuth, Professor of Physics at the University at Albany.
Given that there have been a lot of UFO sightings in and around nuclear facilities over the years, he argues, it is reasonable to conclude that these objects are particularly attracted to nuclear radiation.
Keen to take advantage of this, Knuth claims that efforts are now underway to use miniature nuclear reactors in space to lure in passing extraterrestrials.
"We were trying to figure out how we can lure UFOs and work out how to make contact," he told
The Daily Star.
"We settled on the fact that UFOs have an interest in, and an ability to detect nuclear weapons - some of them underground, some of them in bunkers or in storage depots."
"How do they do this? Are they using neutrinos, which are really hard to detect, or gamma rays? We don't know. But my colleague has developed a new technology which is basically a handheld lithium-powered nuclear-fission reactor, which he is now patenting."
"Maybe these guys will detect it and come down and find out what 'those crazy monkeys' are up to this time. And we can get some imagery or some data... that's our plan."
