Resolution rules (verbatim)
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the President of the United States, any member of the Cabinet of the United States, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
Word 'definitively' creates ambiguity about certainty threshold; unclear if speculation by officials suffices

They might not even exist and the bet can still resolve as YES. You guys just don't read the rules, period. Believe whatever you want. Back in the day, people also used 'science' to believe the Earth was flat. No offense to the believers nowadays.🦠🔴🏃♂️🚜🛸💥

This will resolve to "No" if any announcement is about an NHI presence, rather than specifically extra terrestrial presence/discovery no?

If aliens do exist, how might their discovery impacthuman society?
