'...a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions...'
Written by Harvard's firebrand UFOlogist Avi Loeb and Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon’s new All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office , which was created by President Joe Biden last year and tasked with studying unidentified aerial phenomena , the paper explores the possibility that there may be a sizeable alien "mothership" — yes, they used that word — somewhere out there that sends tiny probes they call "dandelion seeds" out to learn about various planets.
"The coincidences between some orbital parameters of ‘Oumuamua and IM2 inspires us 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," the pair wrote.
"These 'dandelion seeds,'" they continued, "could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the Sun or by a maneuvering capability.
and a leading Department of Defense official could even attach their names to such a theory — and really, if it's a genuine line of inquiry, why shouldn't they?
