    Ivy Insights

    The John Michael Godier's Event Horizon podcast has been a staple in my listening routine for years, and I make sure to follow him on multiple platforms to stay up to date with his material. This podcast offers a unique and captivating exploration of all things space, covering a wide range of topics and featuring fascinating guests. Personally, my favorite discussions revolve around stars, black holes, and the search for extraterrestrial life in the vast expanses of the universe. The name "Event Horizon" is incredibly fitting because once you delve into this podcast, you become trapped in a world of knowledge about everything related to space.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its format. John allows his guests, who are often leading experts in their respective fields, to engage in conversation and provide thorough responses. It's refreshing to hear these conversations unfold naturally, with John asking thought-provoking questions that elicit insightful answers. I have lost count of how many times I've heard an expert remark, "that's a good question," which is a testament to John's skill as an interviewer.

    While it pains me to say it, every podcast has its flaws. One possible drawback of The John Michael Godier's Event Horizon is that some episodes may be too technical or complex for casual listeners without a background in astrophysics or related fields. However, this can also be seen as a positive aspect for those seeking detailed and in-depth discussions on space-related topics. Additionally, there are occasional episodes where the audio quality may not be optimal, but these instances are rare and do not detract significantly from the overall experience.

    In conclusion, The John Michael Godier's Event Horizon podcast never fails to impress me with its engaging content and diverse range of topics. Whether you are an avid space enthusiast or simply curious about the mysteries beyond our planet, this podcast offers something for everyone. With exciting plans for expansion across various platforms and more releases on the horizon, it is an exciting time to be a listener of John's shows. I eagerly look forward to continuing my journey into the vast reaches of space through this captivating podcast. Thank you, JMG, for your incredible work.

    Are there alien artifacts near the sun? "Almost all SETI searches to date have explicitly targeted stars in the hope of detecting artificial radio or optical transmissions. It is argued that extra-terrestrials (ET) might regard sending physical probes to our own Solar System as a more efficient means for sending large amounts of information to Earth. Probes are more efficient in terms of energy and time expenditures; may solve for the vexing problem of Drake's L factor term, namely, that the civilization wishing to send information may not coexist temporally with the intended recipient; and they alleviate ET's reasonable fear that the intended recipient might prove hostile."

    Does planet nine exist? Where is planet x? Motivated by recent measurements of the free-floating planets, a new paper considers the possibility that the solar system may have captured a terrestrial planet early in its history. Amir Siraj is a theoretical astrophysicist (Harvard University A.M. '22, A.B. '22) and concert pianist (New England Conservatory of Music, M.M. '23). He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at Princeton University's Department of Astrophysical Sciences. CNN called his work one of ten “extraordinary cosmic revelations” in 2022, and he was the youngest scientist named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2021. Recently named one of Astronomy Magazine's 25 Rising Stars, Siraj seeks to understand the solar system in the context of its cosmic environment through research topics including: interstellar objects, asteroids and comets, planetary system formation and evolution, supernovae, black holes, dark matter, and the search for life in the universe.

At that time, one of the most puzzling UFO flaps in history was happening in the Washington, DC area including multiple radar returns and visual sightings from people in several locations. At Mount Palomar observatory in Southern California, a pair of photographic plates were taken about one hour apart, one just before 9 pm, the other just before 10 pm local time. In these plates, one showed a cluster of three star-like points, essentially indistinguishable from stars. But in the second plate, the points had abruptly and inexplicably disappeared.

    Why Congress will Hold More UAP Hearings w/ Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 8, 2022 16:32


    History repeats itself. The idea that this has all happened before, and will happen again is particularly relevant in the field of UAP. The recent hearings in Congress on the UFO/UAP issue are not the first, 50 years ago other such hearings were held, though nothing came of them. But let me tell you a tale of two US senators, one a Republican and one a Democrat. One long ago, the other more recent. The first was one Senator Barry Goldwater, who was a long-time Republican senator from Arizona and prominent presidential candidate. Senator Goldwater once recounted that he had heard rumors of recovered materials from a UFO and that they were being held at Wright-Patterson air force base. He called his friend United States Air Force General Curtis Lemay and asked to see the object or objects. The General immediately became angry and in the Senator's words cussed him out and told him to never ask about that subject again. That would seemingly be the end of it. But it wasn't. Just before his recent death, former US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, stated that he had always heard during his time in Congress that Lockheed-Martin was in the possession of a downed UAP. Like Goldwater, he asked to see it, but was flatly denied despite holding high level clearance as a ranking US Senator. The point is, the investigation of this issue is very much bipartisan and apolitical, and it keeps recurring, and for good reason. It's entirely possible that UAP represent an aviation hazard regardless of their origin, or could represent a nation state leapfrogging the US in drone technology. And, it is plausible that whatever they are, they are not of human origin. My guest today is on the committee that held the UAP hearing and he asked a question regarding recovered materials from UAP. The answer to that was that no and I quote, “The UAP task force doesn't have any wreckage that isn't explainable…that isn't consistent with being of terrestrial origin.” An interesting answer, the UAP task force doesn't have anything, but that doesn't speak to the Pentagon itself. As you know I recently interviewed a Republican congressman on the issue, so in the interest of balance, here's an interview with a Democratic congressman. I give my usual caveat here, as you know I'm an apolitical interviewer, but when interviewing a politician they can get political, though this one really didn't. So if that's not your cup of tea, then give this one a pass and treat this interview as a bonus episode and the usual science content will be out as usual on thursday. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi represents the 8th District of Illinois, which includes Chicago's west and northwest suburbs. He serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence He earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University, and received his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School.
