Are Aliens Already Here on Earth but We Just Can’t See Them?

In an almost infinite universe, it's unlikely that we're the only intelligent life. But where is everyone else? Could it be that aliens have been coexisting with us on Earth, invisibly, since the beginning of our time?
The Shadow Biosphere
In our world, phosphorus is a very important part of life. It's needed for making RNA and DNA, which are like the instruction manuals for living things. Every plant and animal needs phosphorus to survive, even though there's not much of it around. Scientists like Matthew Pasek from the University of South Florida say that phosphorus is rare compared to how much it's needed for life.
The "shadow biosphere" idea suggests that there might be other kinds of life here on Earth that we haven't noticed yet. They might be living alongside the life we know about, but they work in different ways that we don't recognize as life. For example, there are tiny organisms in Mono Lake that use arsenic instead of phosphorus to stay alive. Even though this arsenic use is because of very special conditions, it's possible that there are bigger shadow biospheres all over Earth's history. Some might have disappeared when things changed, while others might have been taken over by the life that uses phosphorus.
There's also the idea that maybe life was brought to Earth by things like meteorite crashes or visits from aliens. This life might need a different kind of energy, and these shadow biospheres might have been here for a long time, hidden away and not bothering anyone.
Invisible Aliens Among Us
Recently, a group called the Laredo Paranormal Research Society in Texas filmed a triangle-shaped UFO that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. They used an infrared camera, and in their video, you can see three glowing orbs flying together. The object flew quietly and disappeared behind a house.
Ismael Cuellar, who started the group, said they checked to see if it could be birds, bugs, planes, or drones, but none of those things matched what they saw. They believe it might be an alien spaceship that is invisible to the naked eye.
In 2001, during an interview, astrophysicist and Project Galileo Research Affiliate Dr. Massimo Teodorani, talked about his research on UFOs in the lower atmosphere. He mentioned that sometimes these UFOs aren't visible as lights but are able to move into a lower frequency of light that is invisible to us.
Teodorani's perspective on invisible UFOs aligns with his scientific approach to studying UFO phenomena. He often emphasizes the importance of gathering empirical data and applying rigorous scientific methods to investigate reports of UFO sightings. Through his research, Teodorani aims to contribute to a better understanding of the nature of UFOs and their potential implications for our understanding of the universe.
He referred to his colleague, Prof. Erling Strand from Norway, who in 1994 recorded about 34 instances of these phenomena using radio technology. These phenomena were sometimes visible and sometimes not, but their position and speed were accurately tracked by radar even when they couldn't be seen. Dr. Teodorani speculated that these UFOs might change into a form of energy that's invisible to the human eye but still detectable by radar.
Strand began investigating the Hessdalen Lights in the early 1980s. These lights appeared as bright, colorful orbs or flashes of light in the sky and were reported by numerous witnesses over several years. Strand, along with other scientists and researchers, established the Hessdalen Phenomena Project to study these lights scientifically.
The project involved setting up monitoring stations equipped with cameras, spectrographs, magnetometers, and other instruments to observe and record the phenomenon. The goal was to gather empirical data and analyze the characteristics and behavior of the lights to better understand their nature and origin.
Over the years, Strand and his team collected a vast amount of data on the Hessdalen Lights, but despite extensive investigation, they have not been able to definitively explain the cause of the phenomenon.
Can Anyone See These UFOs with an Infrared Camera?
If you have a spare couple of grand, the Panasonic Lumix GH6 camera is thought to be able to capture UFOs that can only be seen in infrared. Check it out on Amazon.
Atmospheric Lights claim that their experts have tested many different kinds of infrared cameras and find that the Panasonic Lumix GH6 camera is a great option for capturing UFOs that can only be seen in the infrared spectrum. The GH6 features LifePixel, which is really helpful for taking pictures using infrared (IR) technology.
Regular cameras have a special filter that stops infrared and ultraviolet light, which is usually not good for normal photos. This makes the camera's sensor more sensitive to infrared light, helping to capture better pictures of UFOs that can only be seen in infrared.
Almost every camera's sensor can detect infrared light, but they have a special filter called an IR blocking filter or hot mirror in front of the sensor, behind the lens. This filter stops the infrared light from coming through so that the photo doesn't look too reddish or bluish.
To take infrared photos on a non-specialised camera, you have two options:
The first option is to use a special filter that goes on the front of the lens. These filters are made of deep red glass and block out visible light almost completely. This means your camera can capture infrared light, but it will take a long time to do so, and it will be hard to capture anything that's moving.
The second option is to modify the camera's sensor itself. This involves opening up the camera, removing the IR blocking filter, and replacing it with a filter that lets infrared light through. Because this new filter is now behind the lens, you can take infrared photos at normal speeds, making it easier to capture moving objects.
Skepticism about Invisible UFOs
Ben McGee, a geoscientist and aerospace consultant, known for his skeptical views on UFOs and his role as the lead field researcher on the National Geographic series "Chasing UFOs," has offered an alternative explanation for the Laredo UFO sighting. McGee believes that the object in question is likely a border patrol drone equipped with infrared anti-collision or identification lights. He supports his theory with several points.
McGee notes that a significant portion of the air traffic passing through the nearby Laredo International Airport consists of military aircraft, given Laredo's proximity to the Mexican border. He points out the increasing use of drones by the military for border security purposes, highlighting their characteristics such as being small, quiet, and often triangular in shape.
Regarding the camera's infrared sensor being oversaturated, McGee suggests that this could be attributed to the intense infrared lights used for anti-collision systems on drones. He mentions a recent development where a UAV lighting manufacturer announced custom infrared navigation lights for a major defense contractor, which, if constantly on, could result in certain parts of the drone appearing exceptionally bright in infrared, obscuring its actual shape.
McGee concludes that the issue lies in the interaction between high-intensity infrared lights in close proximity to the camera, rather than the camera's ability to detect invisible shapes such as triangles or pyramids in the airspace.
