"We" is geheel niet terzake. Daar hoort "kan ik MaartenV gerust aannemen" te staan.
Dat soort uitspraken zijn geheel en al alleen voor jouw eigen rekening.
De pers zou bol staan van echt geverifieerd alien materiaal!
Tot heden geldt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_the_Stars_(company)
In July 2019 the company stated it had acquired and was studying "potentially exotic materials" as part of its Acquisition & Data Analysis of Materials (ADAM) research project.[28][29] Steve Justice, To The Stars's COO and former head of Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works said in a statement that "the structure and composition of these materials are not from any known existing military or commercial application” and that the materials would be studied in an attempt to reverse engineer them.[28] Regarding the origin of the materials he stated: “they've been collected from sources with varying levels of chain-of-custody documentation, so we are focusing on verifiable facts and working to develop independent scientific proof of the materials' properties and attributes."[28] In its SEC filing, the company is recorded as having paid $35,000 for several items including "six pieces of Bismuth/Magnesium-Zinc metal" and a piece of aluminum.[30] According to the company, the metals are from an unidentified flying object, and were previously "retained and studied" by ufologist Linda Moulton Howe.[30] Moulton Howe claimed in 2004 that the metals become a “lifting body” when subjected to electromagnetic radiation.[30] Today, however, she claims she has had the samples tested by Carnegie Science's Department of Technical Magnetism in 1996 and again by Harold E. Puthoff and others on several occasions.[31] According to a letter from Puthoff in 2012 the tests were unable to prove the alien origin of the samples or any "interesting/anomalous outcome" but suggested that one additional test was remaining that required special equipment which was not readily available.[31] The company has partnered with research labs founded by Puthoff to study the materials further.[4]
Critics say there is no evidence to support the claim that the materials are "otherworldly in origin" or that they may be "scientifically important".
Commenting on similar reports of "Alien Alloys", American Chemical Society expert panel member Richard Sachleben considers such claims "quite impossible".
According to Sachleben, "I don't think it's plausible that there's any alloys that we can't identify". May Nyman of Oregon State University Department of Chemistry criticized claims of extensive research to identify an unknown alloy, saying, "if we had such mysterious metals, you could take it to any university where research is done, and they could tell you what are the elements and something about the crystalline phase within a few hours."[32][33][30]
Chris Cogswell, who holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and hosts the Mad Scientist Podcast, states that “the chances of it being important scientifically are extremely slim" and suggested that the Bismuth/Magnesium-Zinc pieces may be slag from an industrial process such as the Betterton-Kroll process.[30]
met als conclusie dat het "oud" materiaal betreft dat kennelijk de moeite niet meer waard is en dat het TTSA-koffertje van Elizondo nog nooit is gebruikt om nieuwe specimens op te halen.
