There may be four extraterrestrial civilizations in our Galaxy that could attack our planet, claimed one scientist.
Alberto Caballero, a doctor at the University of Vigo in Spain, wrote a study in the International Journal of Astrobiology earlier this month in which he claimed to have identified the famous “Wow sign!”
The signal, first detected by a radio telescope in 1977, was a bizarre burst of radio energy lasting a few minutes that may have come from a Sun-like star 1,800 light-years from Earth, according to Caballero.
Caballero’s work, entitled “Estimating the Prevalence of Malicious Extraterrestrial Civilizations”, has “certain limitations”, he admitted, and has not yet been evaluated by his peers.
Caballero admitted that the chances of aliens extinct the human species are about the same as the chances of the planet being destroyed by an “asteroid of global destruction”.
He wrote that such an event occurs once every 100 million years, so humans are probably safe at the moment.
Gathering the study, Caballero has been researching human “invasions” in other countries for the past 50 years.
He then used this data and applied it to the number of known “exoplanets” in our galaxy, which Italian scientist Claudio Maccone estimated was about 15,785.
Using the frequency of human conflicts – which has declined over the past half century as technology has advanced – and applying mathematics to space, Caballero estimates that there could be four “aggressive” extraterrestrial civilizations.
“We do not know the minds of the aliens. “An alien culture may have a brain with a different chemical composition and it may not have our empathy or it may have more psychopathological behaviors,” he said.
“It simply came to my notice then [τη μελÎτη]which has limitations, because we do not know what the aliens would be like “.
