Raytheon Engineers Reveal how Technology Will Detect Alien Spaceships
inventorspot.com ^ | Paul Fitzgerald

Posted on 03/29/2015 7:33:55 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The duo suggests that alien-like ships traveling at relativistic speeds can easily intermingle with photons in the cosmic microwave background, which is dubbed CMB. This means that a spacecraft traveling at near light speed would leave a unique signature, and this means it would therefore be fully discoverable.

Their research, which was just published in this month's MIT Technology Review, points out that the interaction with photons in the CMB “should create a drag that imposes specific limits on how fast spacecraft can travel.”

And, “it should also produce a unique signature of relativistic spaceflight that ought to be visible with today’s technology should any vehicles of this type be zipping through our galactic neighborhood.”

A high speed moving spaceship – regardless of its size – would appear as highly powerful gamma rays once colliding with microwave photons.

Could this be the reason this Administration is so fixated on aliens?

The Mother Plane and Ezekiel’s Wheel

Elijah Muhammad taught his followers about a Mother Plane or Wheel, a UFO that was seen and described in the visions of the prophet Ezekiel in the “Book of Ezekiel”, in the Hebrew Bible.

But what if they are not extraterrestrial but extradimensional (as Allen Hynek thought).

Extraterrestrials would face the same problems we do. They can’t get here.

The possibilities are exciting. I'm getting goose-bumps just thinking about it.

I say throw billions, nay, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars at it.

Extraterrestrials would face the same problems we do. Namely, they couldn’t get here even if they wanted to.

That’s always been my thinking. I get giggles once in a while, but I completely believe in the odds and I’d say other beings in the universe are mostly a probability, not just a possibility. God’s physical laws and vast distances keep us separated for good reason and hopefully it’ll stay that way.

This is a paper right out of Stargate Atlantis, the deep space sensor network.

Heh, that's adorable.

They'll be able to detect ships full of pan-galactic landscapers?

That's impressive!

“P.S. They’re very tall”

The Nordics. The ones that are always pestering me are short, grey and robotic. Oh, and they are accompanied by their bug-like overlords. An EMP pistol and bug-spray work just fine.

FWIW pings..

Pinging the unidentified aerial phenomena list (ufo) ..

May 8, 1950-This is one of the most famous UFO pictures ever taken.
Photographed by Paul Trent, and first witnessed by his wife.
They were published in a local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon.
Shortly thereafter, the Trent photos were published in Life magazine edition of June 26, 1950.
The rest is history.
(These photos have been deemed authentic for over 50 years. The analysis of the McMinnville photos by Dr.Bruce Maccabee PhD, can be found here = http://brumac.8k.com/trent1.html )

Those interested in the uap/ufo ping list, please Freepmail
LasVegasDave (freepmail works best)
if you would like your name added to the list.
( Approximately 200+ freepers are currently on the ping list ).
