Why 2022 is HUGE opportunity to find UFOs and aliens, according to space experts

UFO-SPOTTING tech is set for a major boost in 2022 which could finally lead to the discovery of aliens.

Space experts say advanced gadgets are developing thick and fast, meaning many strange sightings that remain a mystery may finally be identified.

The widespread use of smartphones has resulted in an ever-growing surge in reports of unidentified objects.

And last year US President Joe Biden signed into law a new X-Files-style UFO unit that will probe odd encounters, as part of a multibillion dollar defence spending package.

Detect and track

“The effort to detect, track and measure the UFO phenomenon in the field, in real time, has recently entered a new phase,” Mark Rodeghier, scientific director of the Center for UFO Studies in Chicago told Space.com.

“The technology has gotten better, software tools have improved and the current interest in UFOs has attracted new, qualified professionals.”

“While one can’t predict how soon we will gain new, fundamental knowledge about unidentified aerial phenomena / unidentified flying objects, I believe that these efforts are very likely to succeed and set UFO research onto a new foundation of reliable, physical data.

“And as a consequence, we will have even more evidence — as if it was needed — that the UFO phenomenon is real and can be studied scientifically.”


Scanning the skies

One group of experts are already leading the effort by attempting to find the advanced technology aliens may leave behind on their travels.

More than 100 scientists, part of the Galileo Project, are currently building a telescope that will record the entire sky for mysterious objects.

They hope to have it up and running on the roof Harvard University’s astronomy department by the spring.

“The system will record continuous video and audio of the entire sky in the visible, infrared and radio bands, as well as track objects of interest,” astronomy Professor Avi Loeb said.

“Artificial intelligence algorithms will distinguish birds from drones, airplanes or something else.”

But others believe 2022 will be key to finding extraterrestrials because it could be the year various groups pull together.

Though not everyone is convinced that is the best way to go.

“The fact that we currently know precious little about UAPs implies that the potential for discovery is higher if the groups begin by working independently, trying different equipment and procedures and watching in different places,” Professor Kevin Knuth, from the University at Albany, explained to Space.com.

“As we learn more about how to best observe and study UAPs, communication across groups — facilitated by the sharing of data and publishing of results — will lead to improvements in general.”

In other news, a new space station for Tom Cruise to shoot movies on has caused jaws to drop for all the wrong reasons.

Scientists have pinpointed when they believe the Sun will explode and wipe out everything on Earth in the process.

And Apple is working on a fix for a recently discovered bug that is capable of exposing the personal data of iPhone users.
