The account
Nolan holds an endowed chair in pathology at Stanford and founded companies including Rigel and Akoya Biosciences. From 2012 he studied the Atacama 'alien' skeleton, showing it to be a human stillbirth with bone mutations, and said he was approached by government and aerospace representatives about medical harm linked to 'anomalous craft'. He co-authored a 2022 materials-analysis paper with Jacques Vallée and co-founded the Sol Foundation in 2023. He has said the probability of extraterrestrial visits is '100 percent'.
The sceptical view
His scientific credentials are strong, but his public statements about recovered craft rest on what others told him; no peer-reviewed material analysis has shown non-human origin.
