British film producer claims scientists increasingly believe an old radio signal came from “extraterrestrial intelligence”
Signs of “non-human intelligence in our galaxy” have been discovered, and the proof will be made public within a month, British filmmaker Simon Holland has claimed.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Holland – who has worked on various documentaries for a NASA-funded asteroid-tracking project – spoke about a five-hour-long burst of radio waves originally detected by Earth-based telescopes five years ago.
According to Holland, the signal is currently being reanalyzed by a team of researchers at Oxford University as part of Breakthrough Listen – a $100 million initiative led by Moscow-born Israeli physicist Yuri Milner dedicated to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).
“They are looking for details, hence the delay in publishing the news,” Holland claimed, adding that due to the weakness of the radio signal scientists are experiencing “technical hurdles.”
In 2019, Australian telescopes detected a “weird signal” while observing the system of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system, located about 4.2 light-years away. Named Breakthrough Listen Candidate-1 (BLC-1), the mysterious signal was initially believed to be from another planet, and scientists hoped it could indicate the presence of life.
In 2021, Berkeley researchers subsequentlysuggested that it was likely a “false positive” caused by “two different Earth-bound transmitters mixing with each other” and was “definitely not aliens.”
However, Holland asserted, citing a source within Breakthrough Listen, that new compelling evidence is mounting that the signal might have indeed originated from an advanced alien species.
This theory was supported by a “senior EU radio telescope administrator,” according to the former film producer turned science educator. The Oxford team has confirmed to the Daily Mail they were analyzing the signal, but did not say why.
“We have found a non-human extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy,” Holland stated, “and people don't know about it.”
Holland, who describes himself as a “retired BBC film editor, specialist factual department,” runs a YouTube show called ‘Professor Simon’ and believes that Breakthrough is now rushing to announce their findings in order to beat Chinese researchers, who allegedly discovered an alien signal in 2022 and could soon make their findings public.
