Racing to Build a Radio Telescope on the Moon
Remember the “Wow!” signal? That high energy radio signature happened in 1977, when the Earth was much “quieter” in the radio band. If it were to happen today, it probably wouldn’t even move the needle on the background noise of human radio chatter. Signals from satellites, radar, and other human technology have crowded out extraterrestrial radio signals, limiting our ability to monitor the heavens for signals like the still unexplained one received in 1977. What’s more, the ionosphere partially blocks lower frequency radio signals, making them even harder to see from the ground. So, for a long time, scientists and engineers have been proposing putting a radio telescope on one of the last spots in the solar system that is safe from our ever growing sphere of radio influence – the far side of the Moon. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv from lead author David DeBoer of the University of Oxford and his co-authors, lays out a plan to do just that – and stresses that we need to do it before even that last safe haven is gone for good.

English university to hold UAP symposium
Academic articlesIn a recent article on this blog, I explored the work of a number of academics who have, over the years, published articles on the topic of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).Recently, there has been a flurry of academic articles on the topic of UAP. In January 2025, Harvard Law School's "National Security Journal" published an article by Dillon Guthrie titled "Flying saucers and the Ivory Dome: Congressional oversight concerning Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena." This article explores the recent and sustained interest in the topic of UAP, shown by the U.S. Congress Also, in January 2025 there appeared an article by William C. Lane in the "European Journal for Philosophy in Science" tilted "The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: an epistemological case for removing the taboo." The article argues that the extraterrestrial hypothesis as an explanation for UAP needs to be evaluated together with other hypotheses. In February 2025 appeared a multi-authored paper, by Kevin H. Knuth et al, titled "The New Science of Unidentified Aerospace – Undersea Phenomena (UAP)." The article reviewed about:"…20 historical government studies dating from 1933 to the present (in Scandinavia, WWII, US, Canada, France, Rusia, China), several historical private research studies (France, UK, US) and both recent and current scientific research efforts (Ireland,
