Question for people up to date with modern biochemistry: if there were extraterrestrial microbes on Earth right now, with totally unique chemical origins unrelated to proteins, nucleic acids, saccharides, etc., how likely would we be to notice them? And which analytic method would find them first? Is there a systemic search for this kind of crazy stuff, and where are the review papers for them? I don't know the keywo…
For those who don't know, there's a very significant movement happening within factions of the US government to push disclosure on potential non-human intelligence visiting earth.

> there's a very significant movement happening within factions of the US government to push disclosure on potential non-human intelligence visiting earth. Pushing for disclosure is very different than there being anything to disclose. Get back to me when they actually disclose anything worthy of being attributed to non-human intelligence.
I'm not sure what the point of this is. In the last 60+ years we've obviously learned a lot and widened our definition of where life on Earth can live (eg subsea volcanic vents, in rocks in Antarctica). We obviously don't know the limits of biochemistry and thus in what environments life can evolve and where it can continue to live where it exists. We're certainly not going to be detecting a world full of microbes fr…
Chemical changes to our atmosphere might be detectable from afar.

There is zero consensus that there is a "non-human intelligence visiting Earth". There is, one could argue, a phenomenon of some kind, either real or imagined, but nobody seems to know what it is. And yes, I’m familiar with the subject, and I’ve been following it for decades. Also, I think "disclosure" is somewhat of a misnomer. If people don’t know what it is, there’s nothing to disclose. People have been beating th…

Disclosure == Rapture for the #ufotwitter crowd. It's basically a religious cult.

Changes that are not geological, like Earth's great oxygenation event could be vivid enough to be detectable among exoplanets.
The issue of "if you lose your keys at night, the first place you look is under the lamppost" problem with searching for alien life has bothered me too, since I was about the age of this professor's trip to Hawaii. But unlike her my musing never resulted in anything useful. I'm so glad someone is thinking about this and that that person sounds like a broad thinker!

A hallucinogen is like a telescope. Many users of hallucinogens report meeting "machine elves". Maybe we should be looking there.
no, common hallucinogenic tropes are just remnants of our evolved collective unconscious; not any proto-communications from other dimensions. i am plenty familiar with them and other characters, and their lessons always seemed terrestrial, subconsciously familiar.
Well I've talked to them a bit too and I think there's somebody there.
