Update 2025-04-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Definition of Aliens Clarification

• Extraterrestrial Life: Refers to microbial life, biosignatures (only if NASA publicly states they are evidence of life), or direct detection via instruments or sample return.

• Intelligent Life Not Required: The discovery does not need to be of intelligent life.

• Public Acknowledgement by NASA: Findings must be publicly acknowledged by NASA as extraterrestrial in origin. Peer-reviewed findings alone do not qualify unless NASA confirms or endorses them.

Update 2025-04-22 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Definitive Public Statement Requirement:

• The finding must be communicated through a definitive public statement by NASA.

• Speculative or tentative language (e.g., "could be," "suggests," "possibly") does not meet the criteria.

• Resolution is based on whether NASA determines the evidence to be conclusive.
