This is Ross Coulthart and you are listening to that UFO podcast.

Or just nah, it's too much.

That was my kind of point I was making. I agree I think that's we're not

we're not anywhere close to that but it is interesting to see how quickly we get there.

There's like a domino effect that happens, and once a certain domino falls,

many others fall behind it in rapid succession.

So it'll be interesting.

I don't think it'll happen this year. I mean it's hey look it's very possible I just think I agree with you. We're not quite there yet

We shall see you know, well, we also hear about signs of life?

I think that that might be a really popular phrase

that we're here this year, particularly

this earlier with the James Webb Space Telescope,

you know, will we hear that we've discovered signs of life, more signs of life in the universe that we can hang our hat on something definitive?

That might be kind of reaching a crescendo this year. And to me that's kind of part of the public

acclamation process to certain degree. It's not saying there's an orchestrated effort here, but it is part of the way in which we all would come to grips with being more comfortable talking about the presence of non-human intelligent life on this planet. If life is in fact present in the universe, if it's more abundant,

and we have proof of that, then it becomes a lot more plausible that it is here.

And here, the last thing I'll say to that is is I can point to the article, the very well-written

article from Bernardo Castro, who put forth the Salurian hypothesis, which we've all, and not all of us have heard of this,

but it's not a new hypothesis, but the Earth is certainly

very old and advanced civilizations could have come and gone in the history of our planet and the

evidence of those civilizations might be long gone.

That's certainly, as he put forward, a very plausible hypothesis,
