ICER Member Dr Eamonn Ansbro Presents UAP Research at IAU Symposium on Technosignatures

The International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER) is proud to announce that one of its distinguished members, Dr Eamonn Ansbro, was an invited speaker at the International Astronomical Union Symposium IAUS 404 – Advancing the Search for Technosignatures.

The five-day symposium brought together leading researchers from the fields of astronomy, astrophysics, SETI, astrobiology and planetary science to discuss the latest developments in the search for evidence of technological civilizations beyond Earth. The meeting represented a significant milestone by providing, for the first time, an opportunity for research related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to be presented and discussed within a major international scientific forum dedicated to technosignatures.

Dr Ansbro's presentation, entitled "Evidence of Technosignatures Around the Earth," explored a novel analytical framework for investigating whether certain reported UAP observations may exhibit statistically significant spatial and temporal patterns consistent with orbital dynamics. Drawing upon large observational datasets, the work proposes testable hypotheses regarding recurring orbital geometries and outlines methodologies for future observational campaigns capable of evaluating these predictions.

Rather than presenting definitive conclusions, the study emphasizes the importance of developing rigorous, reproducible scientific methods capable of testing unconventional hypotheses using established astronomical and geospatial techniques. The presentation also highlighted potential avenues for future interdisciplinary collaboration between the UAP research community and researchers working in SETI and technosignature science.

According to the conference organizers, the presentation attracted considerable interest among participants and has been accepted for publication in the official IAUS 404 Proceedings, to be published by Cambridge University Press.

ICER congratulates Dr Ansbro on this important achievement. His participation reflects the Coalition's ongoing commitment to promoting serious, transparent and scientifically grounded research into UAP, while fostering constructive dialogue with the broader academic community.
