The pH๏τo evokes a surreal scene: The ancient Moon, a symbol of silence and solitude, is now illuminated by mysterious blue rays from a giant ship — the “mother ship” of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Over time, since the mid-20th century, humanity has recorded thousands of strange phenomena in the sky. In 1947, the Roswell incident in New Mexico became the opening milestone for the modern era of UFOlogy. Since then, NASA, the US Air Force, and many independent organizations have collected hundreds of videos, radar, and testimonies from military pilots. In 2021, the Pentagon officially released a report confirming the existence of “unidentified flying objects” (UAP), opening a turning point in humanity’s awareness of the possibility of life beyond Earth.

Today’s scientific evidence is no longer just a rumor. Military radar has recorded objects moving at supersonic speeds, without emitting heat, leaving no signs of jet engines. US Navy pilots, such as David Fravor, have recounted witnessing “tic-tac UFOs” moving at speeds far beyond human technology. NASA and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have also declassified thousands of UFO documents over the past decade, with much hard-to-refute evidence. In 2023, Harvard scientist Avi Loeb announced the discovery of the first interstellar object — IM1 — with an unusual structure, possibly a piece of alien technology. From 1950 to 2025, the process of UFO awareness has shifted from skepticism to empirical research.

Returning to the image of the ship near the Moon — a symbol of the gap between science and legend. The Moon, formed 4.5 billion years ago, has been a witness to all of Earth’s evolution. Now, in the human imagination, it has become a meeting point between humanity and distant civilizations. The mothership—with its green, bio-pulsating light—symbolizes intelligence beyond human comprehension. It evokes a sense of wonder and fear, as if humanity were on the brink of a first cosmic encounter. Is this a reminder that we are never truly alone in the ocean?

If UFOs do exist—and the evidence increasingly suggests so—then we are witnessing a civilizational turning point. The appearance of a mothership near the Moon may not be mere fantasy, but a premonition of the First Contact era. For billions of years, alien life, if it exists, may have observed Earth as a living laboratory. And perhaps, when humanity has matured intellectually and morally, it will choose to emerge. As Carl Sagan once said: “If the universe consisted only of us, it would be a terrible waste of space.”
