[Retweeted] AI agents are now steering the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California to search for possible alien signals. 👽 Happy Halloween. Sleep tight. 🎃 See how the @SETIInstitute and Breakthrough Listen are using NVIDIA Holoscan and CUDA-X libraries to listen to the skies → https://t.co/8l527ZWuFQ

Every week I go through the news on this topic and keep only what can be traced back to a primary or first-hand source. Here's what held up between October 19 and 25. Original sources first, my notes in between. 1. PURSUE Release 07: 28 new PDFs, including two 2026 accounts of a black triangle The Department of War published the seventh PURSUE tranche on October 23: 28 PDFs, 1,139 pages. The most-quoted item is an AARO memorandum on a 2026 triangular object (DOW-UAP-D176), plus an FBI report...

A current Reddit post links to a Reuters article published by WIRED on July 16, 2002 about Seth Shostak’s forecast for detecting extraterrestrial intelligence within 25 years, by 2027. This is a historical prediction, not a new forecast or a detection.

From the search for life elsewhere to Navy encounters, public releases, disclosure law, historical cases, and what another intelligence might want here. TL;DR: Navy pilots in 2004 reported an object they could not identify. The Pentagon released related Navy videos. Congress held sworn hearings and continues pushing bipartisan disclosure law. In 2026, the government began publicly releasing UAP files under a presidential directive, the House adopted a disclosure review-board framework, and th...

The next major search for extraterrestrial intelligence might involve putting Moon dust under a microscope rather than pointing a radio telescope toward the stars. A new study led by SETI Institute Affiliate Scientist Lewis Pinault proposes searching lunar regolith for microscopic particles that could represent the surviving debris of extraterrestrial technology. Such material might have drifted between stars for millions or billions of years before eventually reaching the Moon. submitted by...

Official Study: Micron-Scale Technosignatures: How a Cubic Metre of Lunar Regolith May Begin to Constrain the Number of Past Technological Civilisations in the Galaxy “The Moon has been quietly accumulating material from space for billions of years, much of it likely billions of years older than the Moon itself,” Dr. Pinault said. “We’re asking whether that ancient collection might contain microscopic traces of technologies that existed long before humans ever looked up at the sky.” “Unlike E...
