NASA filmmaker claims evidence of alien life could be revealed within the next month

A NASA filmmaker𝔉 has claimed that telescopes on Earth have discovered evidence of intelligent alien life, and the announcement may come within the n꧑ext month.

Science filmmaker Simon Holland, who has worked on projects with the BBC, Nat Geo, and NASA, told last week that two groups of astronomers are vying t🦩o publish the first confirmed evidence of a possib🉐le extraterrestrial civilization.

“We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy, and people don’t know about it,” Holland said.

The filmmaker claims a contact within Mark Zuckerbeg’s Breakthrough Listen — a privately funded scientific research program aimed at finding evidence of civilizations beyond Earth — shared the information with him.

“They found the evidence of a non-human technological si💟gnature a few years ago, using the Parkes telescope in Australia,” he told the outlet.

Holland claims that the Oxford-based proje💞ct astronomers have identified clear evidence of transmissions from another world and could announce the discovery within the next month.

The groundbreaking claims require significant evidence, and astro🐬n🎶omers are now racing to gather more supporting facts to reveal this discovery.

However, Hol🐓land shared that the Chinese m💜ay try to beat them to it.

“This is breaking news, as of yesterday, but the Chinese might be pipping them to the post, with their, FAST [Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope] program. It’s the largest telescope in the world since Arecibo,” Holland told The Mirror.

The Chinese are allegedly aware of the coordinates of the target object, known as BLC-1 (Breakthrough Liste🎐n candidate 1), and are competing with the Oxford-based project to be the first to publish the announcement.

Holland shared that BLC-1 is regarded as the most promising 🌼becausꦅe it appears to come from a “single-point source.”

The radio wave signal was initially detected in April𒅌 2019 from the Australia-based Parkes Telescope at a. 

The signal appeared from a region around Proxima Centauri, a star nearly 4.2 light-years from E�🌄�arth.

Breakthrough Listen had purchased “$100 million🎐” of telescope time and began re-examining five potential candidates, one of which was BLC-1, Holland claimed a in which he further explained the si🃏gnal.

The reason for locking in on the signal 🤡is that it appeared to be coming from one specific point and was a “narrow band.”

“Rather than a big buzz of hydrogen and other things that make sounds in the radio telescope spectrum, this was a small electromagnetic frequency,” the filmmaker ಞsaid, adding it was similar to “the kind of frequencies that we would use here on Earth for radio broadcasts.”

Holland shared the most “significant clue” that the single appe♑ared to be coming from a “planet orbiting a distant sta🗹r” and had a “Doppler shift.”

Doppler shift is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of🦄 the wave.

As the Parkes Telescope was tracking single and adjusting ꧃for Earth rotation to keep the single point source in its focus, the signal either increased or decreased.

Holland shared that the🥃 planet it🍸’s coming from appears to be rotating, which he believes “wouldn’t come from a piece of human interference.”

“The problem is the aliens weren’t saying hi we’re here the aliens were just buzzing, if that’s what they’re doing🥃, with their normal life,” Holland believes.

Holland said he has contacted the principal investigator, Dr. Andrew Simeon from Berkeley, who runs the ♔Breakthrough Listen Science Program,♎ and asked him if BLC-1 is a “technological signature.” 

“He sai🌠d, ‘We’re still very much looking at it when and if we get enough data to confirm what this single point source on a planet rotating in the narrow band electromagnetic frequency really is, we’ll publish,’” Simeon allegedly told him.

However, Holland stresses that whatever the source of BLC-1’s signals, it’s unlike any known natural phenomenon.

The Oxford team confir💃med they are analyzing the signal but did not reveal the likely source, according to the .

Though scientists seem to be using extreme caution before announcing any discovery, Holland feels that Breakthrough Listen in Oxford or from the Chinese could share the findings once they confir🍷m the data.
