Lead Astronaut, VASCO Research Team, exploring the potential characterization of astronomical transients as anomalous technosignatures. Two peer-reviewed publications in Nature scientific journal. Multidisciplinary scientific collaboration conducting all-sky searches for anomalous transients: sources in the sky that unexpectedly appear or vanish. These may turn out to be novel, unexpected phenomena warranting study through follow-up observations. Vanishing stars could point towards a myriad of exciting new astrophysical phenomena and even be a sign of nonhuman technosignatures.

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics | UAP SIGINT/MASINT/GEOINT/OSINT — Cross-disciplinary scientific research and analysis of anomalous aerial technosignatures with USS Nimitz incident tic-tac veteran OSCS Kevin Day, Radar NCOIC, USS Princeton, employing the latest in state-of-the-art SIGINT, ELINT, novel and advanced technologies. UAP SME. Presentation of highlights of thousands of hours of collected measurement data to the scientific community and to the public through the 2022 SCU-AAPC (Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, Anomalous Aerospace Phenomenon Conference). “A vast array of our most sophisticated sensors—including space-based platforms—have been utilized by different agencies, typically in triplicate, to observe and accurately identify the out-of-this-world nature, performance, and design of these anomalous machines, which have been determined not to be of earthly origin. Potential technological advancements may be gleaned from UAP retrievals by any sufficiently advanced nation, then used to wage asymmetrical warfare—so some secrecy must remain. However, it is no longer necessary to continue to deny that these advanced technologies derived from non-human intelligence exist de facto or deny that these technologies have landed, crashed, or fallen into the hands of human beings.” — Jonathan Gray, Senior Intelligence Analyst, National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio

SolarCoin is a global climate change initiative and renewable energy cryptocurrency that serves as an instant reward for solar energy. Our mission in founding SolarCoin—to accelerate our societal transition from petroleum-dependent, war-scourged, scarcity economics to a renewable-energy based, peaceful, post-scarcity economy—is now shared with Elon Musk. SolarCoin has been officially recognized by IRENA, the International Renewable Energy Agency, making it the first cryptocurrency to be officially recognized by an international intergovernmental organization. As the “SETI of solar,” with more than seven million real-time solar monitoring stations around the globe, set to grow to more than 200M over the next decade, SolarCoin is the world’s lowest carbon currency—the largest environmental monitoring experiment—and the largest private renewable energy project in the world. Instead of being digitally mined, proof of work happens in the physical world. SolarCoin is earned for generating solar electricity: 1 § (SLR) per MWh, or 97,500 terawatt-hours of generation over the next forty years. Active in 86 countries, the initiative launched in a worldwide press conference at MIT Media Lab in February 2016, and is working in close partnership with scientists and researchers at NASA, MIT, Xerox PARC, Google, US national laboratories and other leading labs, and is expanding rapidly worldwide, to low-Earth orbit and beyond: https://solarcoin.org/

ElectriCChain is the blockchain technology that powers SolarCoin, the backbone of the lowest carbon currency—the largest environmental monitoring experiment—and the largest private renewable energy project in the world. We're watching the skies around the clock, posting live data to a single verified global blockchain for scientists, for researchers and for human progress. The “SETI of solar,” the initiative launched from a global press conference at MIT Media Lab in February 2016. ElectriCChain supports the development of open standards and tools to publish and read solar electricity generation data using the SolarCoin blockchain and other verified blockchain technologies. ElectriCChain numbers more than seven million global solar monitoring facilities—set to grow to more than 200M around the globe within the next decade. An open solar energy generation data project with initial focus on verifying and publishing data from the more than seven million solar energy generators, all run globally on an open blockchain—a public tool to monitor solar energy: globally, and in real-time. The ElectriCChain community is working with scientists from Google, NASA, MIT, Xerox PARC, the SolarCoin Foundation, Global SolarChange, Solcrypto, Sunspec, Reuters, and more: https://bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/ElectriCChain
