This is UFO sidings. Today, scientists say they have a
2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.719
way to hunt for ancient life on Mars without bringing
3
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.679
rocks back to Earth. The debrief reports an international team
4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.919
led by Robert M. Hazen at the Carnegie Institution for
5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.519
Science adapted instruments already aboard the Perseverance rover to distinguish
6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.160
abiotic from biotic signals in appetite minerals. Their mineral based
7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.760
method reportedly reached nearly ninety eight percent accuracy in tests,
8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.200
and the team argues it could let rovers search for
9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.159
deeper time biosignatures and reshape how future life seeking missions
10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.600
are designed and funded. A social media post this morning
11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.759
announced the Pentagon has released a fourth tranch of files
12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.960
related to unidentified aerial phenomena. The post renews the slow
13
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.399
official drip of raw footage and incident reports that have
14
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.600
shaped public debate over what the military will acknowledge. For
15
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.320
investigators and legislation alike, Each new release raises the same question,
16
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.959
what will be declassified next and why now? Online, the
17
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.439
conversation has turned to politics and tooling. Italian UAP researcher
18
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.599
Vincenzo Pinelli reportedly briefed Senatorial AID travel tied to a
19
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.359
Trump UAP briefing, and community builders just launched UFO Sighting
20
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:28.040
dot Report, a new archive and mapping tool for witness reports. Officially,
21
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:33.280
the Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office urges caution, more validated censor
22
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:38.159
data is needed. Investigators note many cases reduced to satellites,
23
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.359
conventional aircraft, drones, or atmospheric optics, even as a minority
24
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:48.359
of reports remain unexplained. We'll keep watching the skies. UFO
