THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT. “For the first time ever, over five dozen top-secret military,government, intelligence and corporate witnesses to secret projects tell their true stories which disclose the greatest covert program in world history. This explosive testimony by actual government insiders proves that UFOs are real.” https://lnkd.in/dwDPqtS View in LinkedIn

DRY FOUNTAIN. “Smaller initiatives include support from the Planetary Society for decades, primarily for optical and radio SETI work, and scattered smaller projects such as a grants via the Templeton Foundation for, for instance, waste heat SETI work. Essentially no work has been funded for solar system artifact SETI or other searches for technosignatures.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

VISIONARY ENTREPRENEURS. “Actual searches have thus been funded primarily via philanthropic efforts. The three largest injections of funds (>$10 million) have been for mostly for radio SETI work: by the Barney Oliver estate to support the SETI Institute; by Paul Allen to the SETI Institute to build the Allen Telescope Array; and by Yuri Milner to fund the Breakthrough Listen Initiative centered at UC Berkeley.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

FIDDLING WITH OLD MINUTIAE. “For this reason, most SETI practitioners are effectively “hobbyists,” writing papers in their spare time on how one might perform SETI searches if one were funded, or addressing theoretical issues such as “resolutions” to the Fermi Paradox or calculations via the Drake Equation.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

COWED AND BEATEN. “NASA learned its lesson: since then it has provided very little support for the field. To the best of our knowledge, since 1993 there have been four NASA grants and five NSF grants to support actual searches for extraterrestrial technology, totalling $4.7 million. Four of these grants totalling $2.6 million supported the development of radio instrumentation and SETI@Home, and the other five totalling $2.1 million supported science and operations of radio telescopes. The first of these grants began in 2001, meaning that​ the total federal expenditure on SETI in the past 18 years has been about $260,000 per year including overhead, or between 1–2 FTEs on average.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

EFFECTS ON INSECTS. “The significantly altered gene expression of CRY1 and CRY2 under the NZMF suggest their developmental stage-specific patterns and potential upstream location in magnetic response. Our study suggests an important role of the geomagnetic field (GMF) in modulating development and physiology of insects.” (NZMF = near zero magnetic field). https://lnkd.in/ggMJNzs View in LinkedIn

THE END TO THE SEARCH. “In October 1992 NASA launched the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS), only to see it suddenly and surprisingly cut in September 1993 via a successful, last-minute amendment by Senator Richard Bryan, who proudly announced “This hopefully will be the end of Martian hunting at the taxpayer’s expense”, and more quietly made it known that if future NASA budgets contained a SETI program, then the entire agency budget would be at risk.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

NOT INTERESTED! “Lobbying by Carl Sagan and others, along with careful bureaucratic and political persuasion, eventually restored the stature of the program, and by 1988 NASA was ready once again to begin searching in the radio despite some Congressional opposition.” https://lnkd.in/djnMhU6 View in LinkedIn

DETECTION OF NOXIOUS STIMULI. “Here we show that nociception in mice is altered by a 30 Hz field with a peak amplitude more than 1000 times weaker than the static component of the geomagnetic field. When mice are exposed to an ambient magnetic field-shielded environment 1 h a day for five consecutive days, a strong analgesic (i.e. antinociception) response is induced by day 5. introduction of a 30 Hz time-varying field as weak as 33 nT has a strong effect, reducing the analgesic effect by 60 per cent. Such sensitivity is surprisingly high.” http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/81/20121046.short View in LinkedIn
