A team of researchers have undertaken the task of sending a CubeSat into space to measure possible extraterrestrial phenomena. Their Indiegogo project has raised one quarter of the $50,000 goal.
The brainchild of Software Engineer Dave Cote, plans include measuring everything from ionized radiation to passive infrared. What started as just an idea has spawned into an undertaking that could reveal UFOs to be of extraterrestrial origin.
The project has attracted the right individuals, including Matt Lippert of the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Institute of Technology, who has pledged his expertise in CubeSat optimization as a consultant to the effort. UFO Author, Pat Regan, has also joined the team. Thus the project has become an international one with Canadian, UK, and American participants.
The Freedom of Information efforts that have given the public access to thousands of documents that contain data and witness testimonies related to extraterrestrial observation of humanity have left many with the impression that the ridicule aimed at supporters of ufology by skeptics in the media and in the various governments of the world appear to be orchestrated to discredit those individual investigators and control that information.
The CubeSat for Disclosure Team feels, as many people in the world feel, that current efforts by governments regarding the issue of extraterrestrials watching us is pitifully lacking and decided that this was the direction that would have the greatest chance of yielding answers to that question.
CubeSats are a type of standardized, modular satellite for research in space and are made up of 10×10×11.35 cm sized units each weighing up to 1.33 kgs each and can be a single modular satellite or be several linked to form a larger satellite. They are extremely cost effective and are intended for low Earth orbit.
The team’s CubeSat will be capable of detecting and measuring various radiation sources which can then be visually confirmed with two nano-cameras operating with parabolic lenses for a 360 degree view around the satellite. They are also hoping to include a micro-radar system if they can secure a unit at reasonable cost (they are a very new and expensive technology), which would give them the ability to further verify detected objects in space.
“This technology in public hands could be the event that causes full disclosure of the existence of aliens..”, states Scott Waring from ufosightingsdaily.com.
Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigation Manual, said: “a [CubeSat] would do much in resolving the UFO issue in terms of ET visitors but it might detect a few anomalies that might be worthy of further study and a few meteors too. There have been many proposals to scientifically detect and track UFOs, though this seems to be one of the most ambitious.”
The team’s goal is to secure $50,000 in funding for the project with they are currently pursuing with crowd-sourced funding efforts at: http://igg.me/at/cubesatlaunch/x/64336
