There’s no solid proof that can verify numerous claims regarding aliens and unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings over the centuries, but enthusiasts will keep probing the existence of life beyond planet Earth.
In the latest paper, a team of researchers from Harvard and Montana Technological University made a bizarre claim as they said that an unidentified and technologically advanced population could be living secretly among us.
The researchers have jotted down their hypothesis in a new paper published in June 2024 in ResearchGate, which is a European commercial social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers.
The abstract of the paper mentioned that “…the notion that UAP may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth (e.g., underground), and/or its near environs (e.g., the moon), and/or even “walking among us” (e.g., passing as humans).”
The researchers admitted that the idea is likely to be regarded “sceptically” by most scientists, but they argued that such is the nature of some UAP and hence, the possibility should not be dismissed. They said that the idea deserves “genuine consideration in a spirit of epistemic humility and openness”.
Researchers said that hypotheses for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) fall into two classes. First is a conventional terrestrial explanation, that is human-made technology). The second is an extraterrestrial explanation, that is advanced civilizations from elsewhere in the cosmos.
However, they said that they focused on a third hypothesis, which is an “unconventional terrestrial explanation” and present outside the prevailing consensus view of the universe.
“This is the ultraterrestrial hypothesis, which includes as a subset the “cryptoterrestrial” hypothesis,” researchers said.

News related to aliens and UFOs intrigues humans
Despite a lack of credible information, people across the world are intrigued by news or conspiracy theories related to aliens and UFOs. In fact, the United States government has taken a serious interest in UFOs. Earlier this year in March, the Pentagon released a report outlining the government’s historical record of UAP.
The report was the first of an expected two volumes by the Department of Defense’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office that examine and analyse information gathered by the US government about UAP sightings.
However, the report states that the office found no evidence that any government investigation, academic research or official review panel has confirmed that any UAP sighting “represented extraterrestrial technology.”
