Scientists are working on creating compact ‘handheld’ nuclear reactors in a bid to attract aliens to Earth, says an expert. Kevin Knuth, a physics professor at the University at Albany, New York, suggests this experimental concept is already being built as researchers ramp up their efforts to bring extraterrestrial beings to our planet.
Prof Knuth told the Sol Foundation in California earlier this year that patents are already being filed for mini handheld nuclear devices. He said: “We were trying to figure out how we can lure UFOs and work out how to make contact”.
“We settled on the fact that UFOs have an interest in, and an ability to detect nuclear weapons some of them underground, some of them in bunkers or in storage depots. How do they do this?” reports the Daily Star.
“Are they using neutrinos, which are really hard to detect, or gamma rays? We don’t know. But my colleague has developed a new technology which is basically a handheld lithium-powered nuclear-fission reactor, which he is now patenting.
“The idea is to go out and power our UFO-observing equipment with the nuclear reaction, and maybe these guys will detect it and come down and find out what ‘those crazy monkeys’ are up to this time. And we can get some imagery or some data. That’s our plan.”
