A scientist from the University of California showed where to look for "observers."
James Benford, a physicist from the University of California, San Diego, published an article in the Astronomical Journal, in which he suggested that reconnaissance probes of highly developed civilizations sent from other stellar systems could be located near our planet. The scientist has confirmed his assumption - he indicated the places where to look for "observers". So he called the "guests" who arrived millions of years ago.
Benford believes that the aliens - not themselves, of course, not alive - but their automatic interstellar stations, are located on the so-called co-orbiting celestial bodies - small asteroids that move in orbits close to Earth. In fact, they are satellites of our planet - quasi-satellites or companions, as they are also called. They accompany the Earth, periodically coming closer to it, then moving away, but not much. The scientist, whose ideas the ScienceAlert portal told about, does not exclude that these bodies themselves can be probes.
It is difficult to argue with Benford - co-orbital bodies were discovered quite recently. Nobody has researched them yet. And even with telescopes, I did not see it properly. But there are plans to get close. The Chinese are very interested. They are going to send their Earth probe to the closest companion (Earth's Closest Companion) - the co-orbital body 2016 HO3, discovered in April 2016. They even want to land there.
The size of 2016 HO3 is known approximately - somewhere no more than 100 meters in diameter. This companion is 38 times farther from Earth than the Moon. And if you believe the current calculations, then he will not leave us for several tens of millions of years.
“An ideal place for extraterrestrial intelligence to observe Earth,” says Benford. And he proposes to urgently organize research not only in 2016 NO3, but also other quasi-satellites - at least from among those 15 that have already been discovered.
Alien probes can be hidden on Earth's quasi-satellites.
Numerous enthusiasts who share the views of the Californian physicist believe that the Moon could also harbor alien intelligence bases. Therefore, it would be worth returning to it. But they agree: quasi-satellites are more reliable in terms of conspiracy - it's easier to hide from curious earthlings.

Skeptics don't believe in extraterrestrial espionage at all. They consider it pointless. After all, the collected information must be transmitted in some way - over the years, as they say, over distances of tens, or even hundreds of light years. Transfer to where the aliens are, who for some reason placed their probes next to the Earth. According to Einstein, there are no effective ways at all. On the radio? To wait for a very long time. You can disappear without waiting. Then why send out probes? Is that in order to declare yourself. But then why hide by quasi-satellites? Stupid somehow.
Find an alien probe - find out how many aliens there are
According to Carlos Cotta and Alvaro Morales, mathematicians, physicists and astrophysicists at the University of Malaga in Spain, aliens are launching probes into areas of the universe that they would like to colonize. Each civilization launches its own. With this in mind, one can estimate their number - the number of developed civilizations in the foreseeable space.
The Spaniards drew up a mathematical model that took into account the size of the Universe, the different number of probes, their service life and the time they spent with us.
The model gave the result: if the probes are designed for 50 million years, and their stay with us for a million years, then extraterrestrial civilizations somewhere from a hundred to a thousand. But if reconnaissance vehicles last 100 million years, then there are only 10 brothers in mind.
The mathematical logic here is this: the longer the probes last, the more likely they will arrive. And if the probes have not yet arrived, then there are one or two extraterrestrial civilizations.
The probe discovered on a quasi-satellite - as the American physicist James Benford would like, would testify, as his Spanish colleagues assure, that there are many advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. At least more than 10.
