Conspiracy Corner - Pentagon talks about possible 'Alien mothership'─── 15:39 Wed, 12 Jul 2023

In news that may be found to be bizarre for some but great for others, the Pentagon has spoken about the possibility that there might be an "Alien mothership" in our galaxy.
According to YouTube channel Lab 360, the Pentagon has warned that extraterrestrial motherships and smaller probes are visiting planets in our solar system. The Pentagon's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena research office noted in a report draft an artificial Interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth. Fresh Reports Coming in That an Alien Mothership is Here.
Reported on space.com, Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, and Sean M. Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — established in July 2022 by the Department of Defense to detect and study "objects of interest" — released the draft, Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, on March 7. It is not an official Pentagon document but was carried out in partnership with the department. It has not been peer-reviewed.
Loeb is known for his research into 'Oumuamua — an interstellar visitor from beyond the solar system. Astronomers first detected the cigar-shaped object in 2017 and originally thought it was a comet. However, its elongated shape, its lack of coma (the cloud of gases that envelope a comet), and the fact that it was accelerating away from the sun raised questions about the comet theory. Loeb suggested instead that 'Oumuamua was an alien spaceship.

That coincidence inspired him "to consider the possibility that an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions," Loeb told Live Science in an email. "These 'dandelion seeds'... could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the sun or by a maneuvering capability."
In the draft paper, Loeb and Kirkpatrick looked at Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs, the government's preferred term for UFOs) confined by known physics. The authors suggest the dandelion seed probes could reach Earth for exploration without being detected by astronomers as they would likely be too small to reflect enough sunlight for survey telescopes to detect.
