British filmmaker Simon Holland has claimed that evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence in our galaxy will be publicly revealed within the next month.
In an interview with the *Daily Mail*, Holland, who has worked on NASA-funded projects, suggested that a five-hour-long burst of radio waves detected five years ago is being reanalysed by researchers at Oxford University as part of the Breakthrough Listen project.
This initiative, led by physicist Yuri Milner, is dedicated to the search for alien life. According to Holland, the delay in publishing the findings is due to technical challenges in confirming the details of the faint signal.
The radio signal, initially detected in 2019 by Australian telescopes while observing the Proxima Centauri star system, was initially thought to be a potential sign of life.
However, in 2021, researchers at Berkeley suggested it was likely a false positive caused by Earth-based interference.
Despite this, Holland claims that new evidence suggests the signal may indeed have come from an advanced alien civilisation.
Citing an insider at Breakthrough Listen and a senior EU radio telescope administrator, Holland insists that researchers are close to confirming this groundbreaking discovery.

And the timing is about right, just in time for the Christmas marketing frenzy… Oh, and yes, more popcorn needed here too. 🤣🤣🤣
