A scientific breakthrough could be just around the corner, as experts prepare to announce one of the most important findings in human history.
While the search for extraterrestrial life has been continuous, with hypotheses, predictions, and numerous false alarms, there is a growing sense that the wait may be over.
For decades, many have claimed to have seen UFOs or had near experiences with aliens.
Despite the plethora of claims, none have ever been substantiated, leaving scientists and enthusiasts in perpetual suspense.
However, a recent development may be about to change that, with major leaders in the scientific community claiming that actual evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is near to being established.
Professor Simon Holland, an academic closely affiliated with NASA and the BBC, has sparked interest with his latest assertions.
According to Holland, two groups of astronomers are vying to disclose ground-breaking results that could reveal the presence of extraterrestrial life.
Holland told *The Mirror* that “we have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy, and people don’t know about it.”
He said that these discoveries are based on a “non-human technological signature” detected by Australia’s Parkes Telescope in 2019.
The unexplained signal known as BLC-1 has been the focus of intensive examination and research since its discovery.
Initially disregarded as Earth-based interference, the signal is now being given further consideration by both Breakthrough Listen, a privately funded scientific program, and the Chinese space agency, both of which are studying the data to gather more proof.
Breakthrough Listen, created in 2016 by Soviet-born Israeli entrepreneur Yuri Milner, has led the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
The scientists working on the project are particularly interested in the limited electromagnetic spectrum discovered by the signal, which appears to be separate from the “buzz” of normal cosmic occurrences.
As Holland explained, “It’s a single point source,” indicating that it is more likely to be man-made than natural.
Holland’s claims are not without competition.
He stated that Chinese researchers using the world’s largest radio telescope, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), are looking into the same signals.
According to Holland, the Chinese program may announce its findings before Breakthrough Listen, resulting in a worldwide contest to be the first to confirm extraterrestrial existence.
Although BLC-1 was originally assumed to be the result of human meddling, there has been a shift in understanding.
As Holland put it, the signal “was not local or noise from deep space,” which fueled speculation about its origins.
He also stated that the signal came from the Proxima Centauri star system, which is only 4.2 light-years away from Earth and is believed to have potentially habitable planets.
While both study teams continue to validate their findings, the likelihood of an announcement looms big.
Holland said that the discovery could be made public within a few weeks, pending more confirmation.
“They are looking for details, hence the delay in publishing the news,” he informed “DailyMail.com”.
The world may not have long to wait, as this possibly life-changing finding is anticipated to be announced soon.
Until then, the race to confirm alien life continues, with scientists and the general public waiting for the final, game-changing discovery.
