Astrobiologist Duncan Forgan from the University of St. Andrews, which is located in Scotland, believes that among the asteroids in our solar system a huge spaceship with the inhabitants of an unknown dead planet may be hiding. According to the scientist, this can be confirmed by conducting a detailed study of the asteroid belt.
The astrobiologist said that at the moment, man has studied a very small, practically insignificant part of the home galaxy, the Milky Way. Moreover, the search for extraterrestrial life occurs only at certain frequencies, in the hope of catching signals. But Duncan Forgan and his team believe that it is not living civilizations that need to be looked for, but already dead man-made societies that destroyed themselves with nuclear weapons.
According to the astrobiologist, today we already have the opportunity to search in the amtospheres of distant exoplanets for individual compounds, traces of "nuclear winter", such as, for example, ionized gases and a high concentration of hydrocarbons. The Kepler and TESS telescopes can be connected to the search for these substances.
But in order not to go far, Forgan suggests starting the search by analyzing the asteroid belt in the solar system. He declares that there is nothing to aim at the entire Milky Way, because even in the asteroid belt there may be an alien ship that we know nothing about. Or, on the asteroids themselves, you can find traces of a long-dead civilization.
