Declassified CIA Program and New Exoplanet Discoveries Revive Questions About Extraterrestrial Life
Previously classified documents from a Cold War-era U.S. government program reveal attempts to investigate psychic phenomena through what was termed “remote viewing.” Conducted under the CIA’s Stargate Project, these experiments began in the 1970s and involved individuals attempting to perceive or describe distant or unseen locations without the use of conventional senses.
Within the documents, participants produced several sketches based on their perceptions of these distant locations. One such depiction resembled a rugged mountain landscape, interpreted by some as Mount Hayes in Alaska—an area that has long been associated with unexplained aerial sightings and unusual phenomena.
During one session, a participant described an entity located inside what they perceived to be a subterranean or hidden facility. The figure was said to resemble a human in form but lacked distinct anatomical features. The observer noted the entity was stationed at a console, possibly engaged in some form of operation or monitoring.
Despite the intriguing nature of these claims, the Stargate Program was officially terminated in 1995, largely due to a lack of consistent, scientifically verifiable results.
In a separate but equally provocative development, astronomers studying the exoplanet K2-18b have identified atmospheric compounds that could point to biological activity. Located in the constellation Leo, K2-18b is approximately 2.6 times the size of Earth and orbits a red dwarf star. While earlier observations had confirmed the presence of water vapor in the planet’s atmosphere, recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope detected the presence of methane, carbon dioxide, and notably, dimethyl sulfide—a compound which, on Earth, is typically associated with biological processes.
Astrophysicist Professor Nikku Madhusudhan commented on the findings, noting that current scientific literature offers no abiotic explanation for the presence of dimethyl sulfide in an exoplanetary atmosphere. He described the discovery as profound, suggesting it may reshape humanity’s understanding of life beyond Earth. “It’s a question humanity has been asking for thousands of years. It’s a shock to the system. It takes time to recover from the enormity of it,” he stated.
