Why 2023 is “The Year of Science” in UFOs

“It’s kind of a spin-off of SETI,” says Sprague, referencing the Search for Extraterrestrial Life experiment. “While SETI looks for radio waves, or signatures like that in space, of possible aliens or something out there, Avi Loeb is hellbent on finding these things called technosignatures: actual things, artifacts, on planets, on moons, that could be considered technologically advanced.” 

That might include pollution, energy signatures, and physical structures indicative of ETCs. 

Other groups Sprague says to watch this year is UAPx, the non-profit scientific research organization studying the topic, and Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) a self-described “think tank of scientists, researchers and professionals stretching across organizations, governments and industries to scientifically and publicly explore anomalous phenomena.”

Taken all together, Sprague says he is optimistic about the year ahead in UAP research, and the scientific findings of the topic. 

“The year of science is what I think we’re looking at with UFOs,” he says, before adding, “And maybe some answers.”
