Most Significant "Alien-adjacent" Developments
🏛️ U.S. Government & The "Immaculate Constellation"
In late 2024 and throughout 2025, whistleblowers have brought forth claims about a secret U.S. program allegedly named "Immaculate Constellation." * Congressional Hearings: There have been continued pushes in the U.S. Congress for greater transparency. Lawmakers have interviewed former intelligence officials who claim the government is in possession of "non-human biologics" and crashed craft.
The Pentagon's AARO Report: The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) continues to release reports. While they officially state they have found "no verifiable evidence" of extraterrestrial technology, they admit to hundreds of cases that remain "unresolved" and exhibit "unusual performance characteristics."
🔭 Scientific Searches for Life
We are getting much better at looking for "technosignatures" (signs of advanced civilizations):
K2-18b Mystery: There is ongoing excitement about the exoplanet K2-18b. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) in its atmosphere. On Earth, DMS is only produced by life (specifically marine phytoplankton). Scientists are still debating if there's a non-biological way it could get there.
Exoplanet Atmospheres: NASA has been prioritizing the study of "Super-Earths" in habitable zones. While no signal has been confirmed, the chemical "fingerprints" we are finding are more complex than ever before.
