It finally happened. After years of vague press releases and ‘tentative’ data, NASA dropped the other shoe this morning. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has officially confirmed the presence of Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of K2-18b at a 5-sigma confidence level. For those of you who haven’t memorized your organic chemistry textbooks, let me translate: They found the exhaust fumes of life.
→ The Smoking Gun: Dimethyl Sulfide
DMS isn’t just a random gas. On Earth it is produced exclusively by life—specifically marine phytoplankton and certain bacteria. It does not appear naturally through geological or volcanic processes in any significant quantity. Finding methane and carbon dioxide was the appetizer but confirming DMS is the main course. This is the biological signature we have been waiting for since the Hycean world theory was proposed.
Sources inside the Goddard Space Flight Center tell me this data was actually verified late last year. The timing of this release is not accidental. It coincides perfectly with the Sol Foundation‘s renewed push for transparency regarding biological samples recovered from UAP crash sites. They are giving us microbes 120 light-years away to distract us from the bipeds walking in the basement of Wright-Patterson.

Located in the constellation Leo, K2-18b is a ‘Hycean’ world—a planet with a massive hydrogen atmosphere covering a global ocean. It is 8.6 times the mass of Earth and sits squarely in the habitable zone. The confirmed presence of DMS suggests a thriving marine ecosystem. We are not talking about a few fossilized cells on Mars. We are talking about a living, breathing planetary ocean.
According to the official brief released by the University of Cambridge team, the atmospheric composition includes:
- Strong Methane (CH4) signatures indicating active organic chemistry
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) confirming a secondary atmosphere
- Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) at levels that defy abiotic explanation
→ The Soft Disclosure Strategy
You need to read between the lines. This announcement is a textbook ‘soft disclosure’ tactic. By admitting that life exists ‘over there’ in the safety of deep space, the intelligence community attempts to satisfy the public’s hunger for truth without compromising National Security. They want you looking through a telescope at K2-18b so you stop looking at the Santa Catalina Channel.
I reviewed intelligence regarding the ‘biological products’ mentioned by David Grusch in 2023. The similarities between the predicted biochemistry of K2-18b and the aquatic nature of reported ‘transmedium’ entities are impossible to ignore. Are we looking at a distant cousin of the intelligence operating in our own oceans?
→ What Comes Next
Expect a media blitz focusing on ‘microbial’ life. They will repeat the word ‘algae’ until you fall asleep. Do not buy it. Complex ecosystems require complex food chains. If there is phytoplankton there is something eating it. And if there is something eating it there is an evolutionary path that leads to intelligence.
NASA has admitted we are not alone. They just haven’t admitted that the neighbors are already here.
