A new video released by an unofficial YouTube channel that claims to be affiliated with the hacktivist collective Anonymous says that NASA is about to announce evidence of alien life.
The video includes excerpts from three articles that appeared on the Ancient Code conspiracy website, which is registered in Croatia, according to the Daily Mail. The video comes after the recent announcements of Kepler's NASA to discover hundreds of new potential exoplanet candidates, 10 of which are believed to be Earth-sized and could be habitable and could favor the hunt for alien life.
Anonymous's video focuses on Kepler's latest discovery and also features comments from NASA's scientific mission director of administration Thomas Zurbuchen, who spoke during the hearing of the U.S. Congress in April about various interesting discoveries and progress recently made by the space agency.
"Taking into account all the different activities and missions that are specifically looking for evidence of alien life, we are on the verge of making one of the most profound and unprecedented discoveries in history," said Zurbuchen during the congressional hearing of the commission on " Progress in the search for life ".
It is important to note, however, that although Zurbuchen's comments reflect his and the scientific community's enthusiasm for advances in extraterrestrial life research, they do not suggest NASA that it has potentially discovered any real evidence of intelligent alien life. Instead, reports speculate that his comments point to various recent discoveries of exoplanets. These include Trappist-1's "twin solar system", which suggests the possibility of the existence of Earth-like habitable planets, which may harbor microbial extraterrestrial life.
Although the alleged claims of the anonymous video may seem far-fetched, the hacktivist collective is not alone in assuming the existence of an alien life. Space tycoon Robert Bigelow, whose firm Bigelow Aerospace produced expandable space habitats for the International Space Station (ISS), said aliens may have already visited Earth and may even be living among humans.According to various astronomers, we could probably find evidence of alien life in the comingdecades. An astronomer recently said that we could uncover evidence of alien microbial life within the next 10-15 years. However, the famous astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson said in a recent Reddit AMA that the probability of discovering complex and intelligent extraterrestrial life within the next 50 years is practically nothing.
Meanwhile, the United States government has also focused its attention on expanding its space divisions within its armed forces in anticipation of the potential space war.
The new anonymous videos suggest how the hacktivist group seems to have moved away. The group was once well known for launching massive campaigns related to prevailing socio-cultural issues, including the key role in the Arab Spring. But according to experts, the group seems to have lost its way.
"In my opinion, Anonymous, in general, is overpopulated by fanatical screenwriters who barely know politics, much less hacking." Rik Ferguson, Europol's security expert and close adviser, told Infosecurity Europe 2017.
