Project Breakthrough Listen
A week ago the SETI institute gave a presentation on YouTube about a recent publication in the Astrophysical Journal. Frank Marchis interviewed Vishal Gajjar regarding a new method in project Breakthrough Listen. The project searches for technosignatures coming from extraterrestrial origins. These may be signs of technology that are alien in nature. Historically, the institute has used a very narrow frequency channel to define their parameters. Now they are looking for something nature doesn't produce, a train of engineered repeating pulses.
Like us, we can expect that aliens may have leakage from ordinary technology, but they may also have launched a transmitter into space for the purposes of communicating with us. A good place for them to put it would be the center of the Milky Way galaxy because it's somewhere both parties know where to look. Also, the stars are older there and there are billions of them with a large number of planets so it's a good shelling point to increase the chances of detecting something.
Currently the project is using the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia. It is 100 m in diameter and operates anywhere between 1 GHz and 100 GHz. The team has about 20% time dedicated to the project, which is a really decent amount. For the recent publication the data included the survey of half a million stars in a 4.5 hour period. So far their total observation time is 25 hours.
No signal has been found, but this is a first attempt and researchers are not discouraged. This is a major breakthrough in the search for extra terrestrial intelligence and the first of its kind in SETIs 60 year history. Credit goes to the graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Bryan Brzycki, who developed the algorithm.
Tune in here for our episode on SETI.

Climate conspiracy
In a viral post De-smog has revealed an investigation in which they accuse the new world order communists or shadow governments of "climate lockdowns". In order to limit traffic's in some cities, city councils have voted to use a combination of cameras and fines to discourage people from driving through city streets. They say this will reduce both congestion and pollution.
One such city in Oxford, England has seen with hundreds of protesters about their new plans for what they are calling 15 minutes cities. These are areas where people can easily bike or walk to everything they need, including their home, work, groceries, education and places to do fun things. They call these areas LTN or low traffic neighborhoods and will erect barriers and open more bike lanes to encourage people to walk and ride. People will need permits in order to have their cars on these streets. They will be controlled by fines and cameras and it has a lot of people calling local governments Big Brother. There's worry about facial recognition technology for example.
So how much control is too much control when it comes to government? Is this the work of some shadow government or simply environmentalists working together with local municipalities to make a positive change?

Proof of Time Travel?
https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Glorification_of_the_Eucharist_-_Salimbeni.JPG
I once read a book about time travelers that were pulled out of their timestreams at the moment of their death and transported into the future. It was an interesting premise, even if it quickly became an uninteresting story. When I was young I wished I lived in Victorian times, wearing gorgeous dresses and horseback riding and flirting with handsome gentlemen. Knowing my luck I would end up as a seamstress or fisherman's wife so maybe I'm better off here! Still, the idea of time travel has always fascinated me. Maybe that's why I'm such a Dr. Who fan.
The most compelling evidence I've ever seen of time travel is a painting by Bonaventura Salimbeni in 1600 A.D called the "Glorification of the Eucharist". The artwork is currently on display at the St. Peter church in Italy and depicts a metallic looking sphere being held by the Holy Trinity. The object looks suspiciously similar to Sputnik although historians claim it's simply the artists imaginative representation of the celestial sphere of the universe.
Then there's the curious case of Mr. Sergei Ponomarenko, a man found wandering Kiev on April 23rd, 2006. He was wearing outdated clothing and carrying an old style camera that appeared brand new. When the role was developed there were images of Kiev in the 1950s and a bell-shaped object as well. The gentleman said that he had encountered the object and then immediately afterwards was brought to his current location. He was carrying a Soviet citizen ID card which said he'd been born in 1932. He disappeared a few days later.
So is time travel real or or fantasy? Is it aliens or humanity from some future time? Or maybe it's just Doctor Who carrying around passengers in his tardis!

UFOs and UAPs
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is pushing to declassify records related to Pentagon secrets regarding UFOs and UAPs. Legislation, which has unusual bipartisan support, requires "any and all recovered [UFOs] and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities” be given a presidentially appointed review board, which would decide what to make public.
Ever since the 2022 Congressional hearing on the subject, there has been an increase in interest both from the public and lawmakers. In this year's defense budget both the Senate and House are calling for immediate public disclosure. Republican Tim Burchett has been quoted as saying that the American public is perfectly capable of handling such information. Have we finally moved beyond soft disclosure?

Cryptid Sighting!
El Chubicabra, the aptly named "bloodsucker", continues to terrorize the small province of Ouro in Bolivian city. This cryptid has been blamed for the June wave of slaughter of over 75 chicken, ducks, and turkey, and the deaths coincide with earlier reports of mutilated cows, llamas, and alpacas in the surrounding areas. Animals were found with their eyes gorged out and their blood drained, the typical signs of the Chubicabra.
Farmers have erected fences around their farms as protection after a confirmed sighting by drone. Still footage provided by Jam Press shows a blurry figure like a coyote up on its hind legs in a field near town.
Last year a sighting at a Texas zoo in Amarillo prompted similar excitement. On May 21, 2022 at 1:25 am a shadowy figure was caught on surveillance footage. No animals or people were harmed (no harm no fowl!) but local officials are asking for the publics help finding their UAO or unidentified Amarillo object.
On social media people are offering alternatives to the mystical creature, specifically: a kangaroo escaped from a zoo, a coyote with mange, wolf hybrids, and aliens. What do you think? Leave your thought in the comments below and until next time - keep it strange!

Strange News
Hello Listeners!
I came across a few strange news articles that I wanted to share with everyone.
I ran across a story I couldn't believe. In 1959 the US built a nuclear powered merchant ship, the NS Savanah. It was the only ship ever designed to transport passengers and it did starting in 1961 when they powered up the 74 MW reactor. Anyone could buy a ticket and they did! 60 guests plus crew could travel at any one time. The rest of the space was taken up by cargo. It also had a swimming pool and surgical bay. Within a few years the vessel would stop carrying passengers but still continued to operate through the 1970s. The ship is on display in a Baltimore port, so if you're in the area take a tour!
In other news a woman in France was enjoying coffee with a friend when she heard a loud boom. A few moments later she was struck in the chest by what she at first thought was a bat. When she found a small stone-like object she thought it might be part of the cement tile from her roof. At some point she identified it for what it was. She had been struck by a meteorite! Someone take this woman to Vegas.
And finally in otherworldly news a singer by the name of Brocarde is divorcing her husband, who happens to be the ghost of a Victorian soldier. Edwardo and Brocarde fell in love immediately and were quickly married in a small church on Halloween in 2022. Unfortunately her husband became drunk and violent on their honeymoon and the relationship ended shortly thereafter. Best of luck to both.
Thanks for reading and until next time - keep it strange!

For aliens, conspiracies, and all things strange - the best history has to offer
Welcome Listeners!
I'm excited to offer you all a new platform in which to become engaged. This blog will offer additional material related to our episodes, current news and events, announcements related to the show, and more! We've been talking about it so many of you may already know that our podcast name will soon be updated from "Alien Conspiracy Podcast" to "All Things Strange" to better reflect the content of the show. Agent Anderson is preparing to do live feed shows in addition to our discord Friday night episodes so you can put faces to the names. It's been over a year since I joined the podcast and I've learned so much about the world of UFOs, cryptids, the supernatural, and many other strange things.
One of my favorite topics is the Blue Book files. I had no idea that there was an official government program to study and track reports of UFO sightings as early as the 1940s. People from all over the United States, from civilians to pilots to the military, called and wrote to give their first hand accounts of unusual encounters and that information was kept top secret until recently. Under the Freedom of Information Act much of the material, even redacted information, has become declassified. There is a wealth of data available for the average person to peruse on the internet. Official copies! It's amazing. I suggest looking through Fold3 if you are interested. It's easy to search and a lot of fun to read. Or you can listen to one of the Blue Book episodes of course!

I hope you will continue to follow us as we further explore the many topics that are still out there. And remember - keep it strange!
