Dozens of commercial and military pilots have reported unidentified flying objects in recent years.
A radio transmission from an American Airlines from Cincinnati to Phoenix last weekend might have been ripped straight from the X-Files.
Following a debrief with the flight crew, American Airlines confirmed that the radio transmission came from flight 2292.
Yesterday, the FAA released a short statement: "A pilot reported seeing an object over New Mexico shortly after noon local time on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021. FAA air traffic controllers did not see any object in the area on their radarscopes."
Many things are taking place:

Yes, aliens did visit Earth. A Harvard professor's belief has miffed the scientific community
I was at a meeting when the discovery of ʻOumuamua was announced, and a friend immediately said to me, "So how long before somebody claims it is a spaceship?" It seems that whenever astronomers discover anything unusual, somebody claims it must be aliens.
Loeb, however, believes that ʻOumuamua is an alien spaceship, powered by a "light sail" – a method for propelling a spacecraft using radiation pressure exerted by the Sun on huge mirrors. He argues the non-gravitational acceleration is a sign of "deliberate" manoeuvring.

There is perhaps a more grounded interest in Loeb's journey as the son of Holocaust refugees from a farm in Israel to astrophysics at Harvard and extraterrestrial yearnings. That is a book I would eagerly read.

I'm devastated to read that Marilyn Stasio is retiring. All I've been reading during this "Year of the Pandemic" are crime novels, mysteries and thrillers, and she has been my guiding light.
Once the pandemic is over, I will continue reading these diverting and challenging "who-done-it-and-why-and-hows" in her honor.
Extraterrestrial engineering | MIT Technology Review
Compared to humans, Methanians had superior hearing, vocal range, and sight, including x-ray vision. They subsisted on ammonia instead of water and could employ limited telepathic abilities under duress. They had advanced atomic energy technology, but otherwise their tech lagged behind that of Earth. According to memos from Massachusetts Intergalactic Traders, Inc., this made Arcturus IV a prime market for household products designed for Methanians by Terra's brightest young engineers.
Over roughly three weeks, students in John E. Arnold's Product Design class immersed themselves in the Methanians' delightfully detailed sci-fi universe, all in an effort to rethink the rules of engineering here on Earth. The set-up was elaborate: Arnold's case study, crafted with help from the MIT Science Fiction Society, included fake scientific briefs, physiological and psychological evaluations, environmental reports, and market analyses.
By talking about 'climate change' but not 'illegal aliens,' the Biden administration is changing
Days after President Biden took office, the Bureau of Land Management put a scenic landscape of a winding river at the top of its website, which during the previous administration had featured a photograph of a huge wall of coal.
At the Department of Homeland Security, the phrase "illegal alien" is being replaced with "noncitizen." The Interior Department now makes sure that mentions of its stakeholders include "Tribal" people (with a capital "T" as preferred by Native Americans, it said).
Harvard astronomer argues that alien vessel paid us a visit
Sound kooky? Avi Loeb says the evidence holds otherwise, and is convinced his peers in the scientific community are so consumed by groupthink they're unwilling to wield Occam's razor.
Loeb's stellar credentials—he was the longest-serving chair of astronomy at Harvard, has published hundreds of pioneering papers, and has collaborated with greats like the late Stephen Hawking—make him difficult to dismiss outright.
"Thinking that we are unique and special and privileged is arrogant," he told AFP in a video call.
