With a video highlighting main points in his text, Sean Keach summarizes an eye-opening short paper by a NASA PhD. Silvano P. Colombano suggests we rethink traditional verities such as "Interstellar travel is impossible or highly unlikely," "Intelligent civilizations would be based on carbon life," and--wait for it--"We have not been, and are not being...visited." He recommends we "Consider the UFO phenomenon worthy of study in the context of a system with very low signal to noise ratio, but nevertheless with the possibility of challenging some of our assumptions and pointing to new possibilities for communication and discovery." Colombano currently works at NASA's Ames Research Center and possesses a string of co-authored papers. But Silvano's flying solo on this one. His proposals in

SETI Reconceived and Broadened; A Call for Community Proposals, SETI had sought white papers on Cabrol's questions, with a February 2017 deadline. Sarah Marquardt throws a bit of her own water on the splash that Colombano's paper has made online with
Yes, a NASA Scientist Said Aliens May Have Visited Earth, But There's Some Nuance. (WM)
