That's what we are looking for.

We just need one.

We don't need many.

It's just like getting married.

You just need one.

And so let's find that one.

I mean, all the others that are suggestive, as much as people get excited, it's not enough.

To change the conversation, we just need one very high quality database that cannot be denied simply because we had, let's say, multiple sensors looking at the same object.

So it must be real.

It cannot be just an optical illusion.

We know the distance to the object, either from a radar system or from triangulation.

So we can pinpoint the motion of the object and demonstrate that it's outside the performance envelope of human-made technology.

That would be one way to figure it out.

Another is a high resolution image, if it exists,

of, let's say, from satellites or some other source, if it exists, that demonstrates an object with features that do not resemble any human-made technology.

And finally, materials.

That's the most direct way of realizing that something came that is not human-made because potentially we can use the isotope ratios within that material to demonstrate that the material is not from the solar system.

was potentially um cosmic rays and and bursts and prosaic more than i i just mentioned i just mentioned cosmic rays as a potential source of noise i didn't say that the work is incorrect i just said you know there was um

And that team reported an anti-correlation between geomagnetic storms, you know, the plumes of plasma that come from the sun and hit the earth.

So they found an anti-correlation between them and the transients on the plates.
