"The goal of SpaceX is to build the technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary. This is the first time in the 4-billion-year history of Earth that it’s possible to realize that goal and protect the light of consciousness."
"At Starbase on Thursday, April 4, SpaceX Chief Engineer Elon Musk provided an update on the company’s plans to send humanity to Mars, the best destination to begin making life multiplanetary."
"All of SpaceX’s current programs, including Falcon, Dragon, Starlink, and Starship are integral to developing the technologies necessary to make missions to Mars a reality. The update included near-term priorities for Starship that will unlock its ability to be fully and rapidly reusable, the core enabler for transforming humanity’s ability to send large amounts of payload to orbit and beyond."
My Comments
On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. The Apollo project ended with Apollo 17 launched in 1972.
There was a 50 year gap in the timeline for US missions to the Moon.
Now SpaceX would like to seed Mars with human life.
If anyone can provide a backup system on Mars for human life it could be SpaceX. Actually, visiting the Moon and Mars is on my bucket list.
Elon should consider: Von Neumann probes, panspermia, and the story of Noah. Will the SpaceX rockets to Mars bring lions, horses, cows, zebras?

"The Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from California on Thursday night, carrying 20 Starlink satellites. Several minutes into the flight, the upper stage engine malfunctioned. SpaceX on Friday blamed a liquid oxygen leak."
"The Federal Aviation Administration said the problem must be fixed before Falcon rockets can fly again."

U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet says: "We are in contact with hon-human intelligence."
Unfortunately, Tim Gallaudet leaves out details of the conversations. What did the participants say?
Perhaps, 'How's it going?' is a great way to break the ice. Maybe the ET's have traveled so far they want to relax.
Conclusion
This interview with U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet is more or less a smoking gun. The public still needs to be shown images of UFOs and ETs.
The opinion of the SETI Nuggets Editor is the Pentagon is in contact with hon-human intelligence. I believe someone with the experience and clearance levels of the admiral likely will not fabricate a yarn about contact with ETs.

Mysterious UFOS Could Be Extraterrestrials Traveling Through Extra-Spatial Dimensions, Physicist Claims, TheScienceTimes, April 10, 2024
"Avi Loeb, a Harvard scientist, appeared in the new documentary "The Paranormal UFO Connection." According to him, we would be awe-struck if alien technology reached our doorsteps because they were so advanced and had something we didn't possess."
"It's like a cave dweller coming to a city like London or Europe and seeing all the technological gadgets there," Loeb said. There will be a sense of religious awe, and we wouldn't understand it, especially if we are dealing with the effects of quantum gravity that we have any clue about."
"For the past few decades, the dominant paradigm in theoretical physics has been that unifying quantum mechanics and gravity is impossible without involving "extra-spatial dimensions."
"Loeb added that in our daily lives, we only come across three of them. However, the others are supposed to be curled. Furthermore, unless we launch particles with extraordinarily high energies that will explore these tiny scales, we actually can't detect them."
"Of course, if there are extra dimensions, then the reality that we are familiar with extends into them. Then, one can imagine life in more than three spatial dimensions. It will be far more diverse and interesting," he added.

"Elon Musk is harbouring a “dangerous illusion” that a colony can be established on Mars, the Astronomer Royal has warned."

He described Musk as a “extraordinary figure” with a “rather strange personality”, but said that he did not agree with his plan to build a city on Mars.

Prof Lord Martin Rees' opinion about establishing a colony on Mars is probably spot on. Lord Rees opines, "It would be easier to solve climate change on Earth than look to escape to another planet."
SpaceX has not flown any uncrewed rockets to the Moon or Mars. The SETI Nuggets Editor wonders if Elon Musk has an estimate predicting when SpaceX will start building Mars colonies and flying passengers to Mars. Perhaps an upgrade of the SpaceX rockets is needed to a Nimbus2000 flying broomstick.

‘Interstellar’ Meteor Signal May Have Been a Truck—So What Was Collected from the Ocean Floor?, Sciam, March 19, 2024

"New analyses cast doubt on claims that a meteor witnessed over the South Pacific in 2014 came from another star system and raise questions about a high-profile expedition to recover the fireball’s fragments from the seafloor"
"After studying those seismometer data, however, Benjamin Fernando, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University, has concluded that Loeb’s analysis was flawed. The seismometer, Fernando says, recorded not a celestial object but something much more mundane and closer to home—a passing heavy truck—meaning that the location Loeb and his team searched would not have been in the path of the falling object. “We think that what they picked up from the seafloor is nothing to do with this meteor at all,” says Fernando, who posted the research on the preprint server arXiv.org and presented it at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas on Tuesday, March 12."

"We conduct a thorough analysis of seismic and acoustic data from the so-called `Interstellar Meteor' which entered the Earth's atmosphere off the coast of Papua New Guinea on 2014-01-08. We conclude that both previously-reported seismic signals are spurious -- one has characteristics suggesting a local vehicular-traffic based origin; whilst the other is statistically indistinguishable from the background noise."

"On Jan. 8, 2014, a space rock about 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) wide exploded over the western Pacific Ocean. In 2019, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb and his colleague Amir Siraj determined that the intruder came from outside our solar system, a conclusion backed three years later by U.S. Space Command."
"That would make the object, called CNEOS 2014-01-08, our first known interstellar visitor; its arrival predated by three years that of the puzzling 'Oumuamua, which zoomed past Earth in 2017."
"Loeb and his team soon decided to hunt for pieces of the interstellar meteor. In June 2023, they dragged a magnetic sled across the seafloor in the presumed drop zone near Papua New Guinea, hunting for metallic pieces of CNEOS 2014-01-08, or, as the researchers call it, IM1."
"Last July, Loeb announced that this effort was a success: The expedition had collected hundreds of millimeter-scale spherules, whose discovery, he wrote, "opens a new frontier in astronomy, where what lay outside the solar system is studied through a microscope rather than a telescope."

SpaceX has not flown any rockets to the Moon or Mars. Also, Elon's plan to "enable point-to-point transport here on Earth" is in the opinion of the SETI Nuggets Editor not well thought out.
Prospective passengers would need some astronaut training, the ticket prices would be high, and traveling to the launch pad and from the landing area to the desired destination would not be an effective way to speed a point-to-point journey. The SpaceX rockets also cause a huge amount of pollution.

Accumulating observations by highly trained U.S. military and other credible personnel of unidentified anomalous phenomena at or near sensitive national security areas and activities calls for a serious effort to understand what’s going on."

A tenet of good science is the data should be publicly accessible. It seems unreasonable to think many US military personnel are going to forward reports of UAP sightings to AARO, and even less likely the results will emerge for public scrutiny.
AARO is not tasked with doing UFO research. Finding LGMs would only be a side effect of its national security concerns.

"On 18 November, its Starship spacecraft launched successfully from Boca Chica, Texas, and travelled farther than it had on previous test flights. This was the first time it managed to go into space. But Starship’s self-destruct function switched on for an as-yet-unknown reason, and the craft exploded above the Gulf of Mexico about eight minutes after launch."
"NASA needs Starship to prove itself, if the agency is to meet its goal of putting astronauts on the Moon later this decade. But it might require at least 15 Starships to pull off that lunar landing. No successful flights have been demonstrated yet."
"SpaceX, which is headquartered in Hawthorne, California, has ambitious dreams of using Starship to send humans to Mars. But the company’s most important client is NASA, which has given SpaceX contracts worth more than US$4 billion to develop Starship for ferrying astronauts and supplies to the Moon. Many, many steps remain before SpaceX can prove that the craft is safe for landing people on the lunar surface."
"NASA is still planning to carry humans to the lunar surface, as part of its Artemis III mission, in December 2025. Given everything that needs to be done to prepare Starship and other elements of the mission, few people think that this schedule is achievable. NASA is now considering changing the Artemis III mission so that it doesn’t involve landing people on the Moon."
"NASA administrator Bill Nelson congratulated SpaceX on the test flight, saying that it was “an opportunity to learn — then fly again”. The agency is working with another aerospace company, Blue Origin in Kent, Washington, to develop a lunar lander for future Moon visits."

The most recent crewed NASA mission to the surface of the Moon was the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
Using ET technology may be the only logical way to land on the Moon and Mars. Surely, the SpaceX Starship is not going to enable a multiplanetary civilization.

Military vehicles, aircraft and ships, and air traffic controllers, must detect UAPs. The sensors are designed by scientists and engineers, and their effectiveness is crucial. NASA seems to brush aside the engineering value of existing military and commercial UAP data with NASA starting from scratch.
The SETI Nuggets Editor asked Google AI Bard:
What sensors do fighters use to detect UAPs?
This is Bard's answer:
"Fighters use a variety of sensors to detect UAPs, including:"
"Radar: Radar is the primary sensor used by fighters to detect UAPs. Radar works by sending out radio waves and then detecting the reflections of those waves from objects in the air. Radar can be used to detect UAPs at long range, even in bad weather."
"Electro-optical (EO) sensors: EO sensors, such as infrared (IR) and visible light cameras, can be used to identify and track UAPs. EO sensors can provide more detailed information about UAPs than radar, such as their shape, size, and color. However, EO sensors are less effective at detecting UAPs at long range or in bad weather."
"Electronic warfare (EW) sensors: EW sensors can be used to detect and track UAPs that are using electronic countermeasures (ECMs) to avoid detection by radar. ECMs are devices that can emit radio waves that interfere with radar signals. EW sensors can also be used to jam UAPs' radars and other electronic systems."
"In addition to these sensors, fighters may also carry other sensors that can be used to detect and track UAPs, such as acoustic sensors and laser sensors."
"The specific sensors that a fighter uses to detect UAPs will depend on the type of fighter and its mission. For example, a fighter that is designed for air superiority may have different sensors than a fighter that is designed for ground attack."
"It is important to note that no single sensor is perfect for detecting UAPs. UAPs can be very difficult to detect, and even the most advanced sensors can be fooled by ECMs and other countermeasures. Therefore, it is important to use a combination of sensors to improve the chances of detecting UAPs."

"He and Lt. Cmdr. Alex Dietrich were training with the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group about 100 miles southwest of San Diego, Favor told "60 Minutes." At the time, advanced radar on a ship that was a part of their training group, the USS Princeton, detected what operators called "multiple anomalous aerial vehicles" over the horizon, descending 80,000 feet in less than a second. Fravor and Dietrich diverted to investigate."

In U.S., most UFO documentation is classified. Not so in other countries, Washington Post, September 6, 2023
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/06/ufo-brazil-documents-classified/
"RIO DE JANEIRO — Early one August evening in 1954, a Brazilian plane was tracked by an unidentified object of “strong luminosity” that didn’t appear on radar. Two decades later, a river community in the northern Amazon jungle was repeatedly visited by glowing orbs that beamed lights down onto the inhabitants. In 1986, more than 20 unidentified aerial phenomena lit up the skies over Brazil’s most populous states, sending the Brazilian air force out in pursuit."
"The stories are not the ravings of a UFO buff. They are official assessments by Brazilian pilots and military officers — who often struggled to put into words what they’d seen — and can be found in Brazil’s remarkable historical archive of reported UFO visitations."
"Even more extraordinary? It’s all public record."

Discovery of Spherules of Likely Extrasolar Composition in the Pacific Ocean Site of the CNEOS 2014-01-08 (IM1) Bolide, Galileo Project
"We have conducted an extensive towed-magnetic-sled survey during the period 14-28 June, 2023, over the seafloor about 85 km north of Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, and found about 700 spherules of diameter 0.05-1.3 millimeters in our samples, of which 57 were analyzed so far."
"Mass spectrometry of 47 spherules near the high-yield regions along IM1’s path reveals a distinct extra-solar abundance pattern for 5 of them, while background spherules have abundances consistent with a solar system origin."
Spherule analysis finds evidence of extrasolar composition, Galileo Project, August 29, 2023
https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/news/spherule-analysis-finds-evidence-extrasolar-composition
My Comments
The retrieved samples were sub-millimeter in diameter. No ETs or ET spacecraft discovered.
The expedition sought to link a calculated underwater path of a meteor that crashed in the Pacific in 2014 with retrieved samples. It seems a sub-millimeter piece of a meteor probably would drift for about a decade far from any calculated path.
Perhaps the expedition can attempt to find Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 also submerged near Papua New Guinea which disappeared in 2014 about the same time as CNEOS 2014-01-0 crashed.
It seems incongruous Avi Loeb's team could find sub-millimeter pieces of a crashed meteor, initially detected by US military radar, but no one has found most of a crashed Boeing 777 aircraft tracked by the Malaysian military radars.
Conclusion
The Galileo ocean expedition found some spherule samples that showed unusual chemical composition.

How are they kept secret? If UFOs are housed on military bases in deep underground interconnected military structures, and if visitors are required to enter without electronic devices, and all people who get to see them sign NDAs with big penalties, secret retrieved UFOs could stay hidden.
Retrieved UFOs could potentially be a game changer. If they are being disclosed now it may be because the scientists working with the UFOs can't make much headway.
Why do UFOs buzz miitary installations? Birds of a feather flock together. UFOs are announcing their presence to fellow aviators. Near misses? The UFOs are apex predators.

So far rhe Galileo team is not claiming their ~millimeter-size samples are from the IM1 interstellar meteor. The fragments may be from many other sources as the sediment within the IM1 ocean path probably contains billions of meteor fragments.
Are any of the observed fragments artificial? Anomalous chemical composition may be the result of natural processes. What evidence of artificial origin is available with millimeter-size samples?
Doing some cursory research on spherical nodules, it appears Mars has a huge number of spherical nodules.
