Are aliens already visiting us? Professor claims they might be
Could aliens be closer than we think?
Professor Alex Ellery of Carleton University suggests that self-replicating alien probes might be hiding right here in our solar system, disguised as asteroid chunks or moon debris.
He thinks these secretive machines could check in on Earth now and then, especially as our tech gets more advanced.
Where to look for these potential alien probes
Ellery says we should focus our search on the Moon and nearby space rocks, keeping an eye out for weird isotope patterns or magnetic signals that don't match natural materials.
The Moon's low gravity and presence of aluminum make it a great spot for building alien probes or technology.
He also points out that places like the asteroid belt and Kuiper Belt could be hiding more clues—so knowing where (and how) to look is key if we want answers about possible alien visitors.
