Scientists Attempting to Attract UFOs to Earth with Handheld Nuclear Reactors, Professor Reveals

Scientists are developing small "handheld" nuclear reactors as a new approach to attract aliens to Earth, an expert has claimed.

Kevin Knuth, a Professor of Physics at the University at Albany in New York said that this experimental concept is already in progress as researchers intensify their efforts to establish contact with alien beings.

During a recent talk, Professor Knuth revealed that these portable mini-nukes are currently being patented. He explained, "We were trying to figure out how we can lure UFOs and work out how to make contact.”

Knuth noted, “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? 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.”

He added, “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.”

This claim was made in a video recorded at the Sol Foundation in California earlier this year. However, the expert did not elaborate further, and it seemed like a casual remark at the end of his presentation, prefaced by the phrase 'just one quick thing,’ the Daily Star reported.

The idea of using nuclear material to find aliens is not entirely new. Notably, expert Avi Loeb employed a similar approach during his Galileo Project search last year, although he has not yet discovered any aliens.

Likewise, no alien-related findings have emerged from the University at Albany.
