A spacecraft propelled by a subluminal warp drive would cause an extremely bright glow if it passed through Earth’s atmosphere, according to findings detailed in a new study.

Physicist Shaun Fell from the international think tank Applied Physics (AP) and Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb detail their findings in a new paper, which also suggests that extremely small “warp bubbles” could be used as weapons, and that Einstein’s theory of general relativity permits warp bubbles with micrometer-sized surfaces housing very large craft, similar to technologies that appear in science fiction.

The authors emphasize that their new study, which appeared on the preprint server arXiv and has not yet been peer-reviewed, does not prove the existence of aliens, extraterrestrial technology, or warp drives. However, they suggested their analysis offers a viable scientific foundation for many UAP reports of bright lights and “orbs” discussed in recent Pentagon file drops, and is supported by a mathematically valid means of interstellar travel that interplanetary visitors—if they exist—might use to reach Earth.

“Warp drives are a fantastic way to travel through the universe, and it makes sense to my human brain that aliens would find them advantageous too,” Dr. Fell told The Debrief.
