Alpha Centauri Traditional Cache

This is the 3rd in a new series based on nearby stars. An easy walk up from Redstone park or the Golf course. Should be simple to spot. 

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to the Solar System at a distance of 4.37 light-years . It consists of three stars: the pair Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B together with a small and faint red dwarf, Alpha Centauri C, that may be gravitationally bound to the other two.To the unaided eye, the two main components appear as a single point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of −0.27, forming the brightest star in the southern constellation of Centaurus and the third-brightest star in the night sky, outshone only by Sirius and Canopus.

Alpha Centauri is envisioned as a likely first target for manned or unmanned interstellar exploration. Crossing the huge distance between the Sun and Alpha Centauri using current spacecraft technologies would take several millennia, though the possibility of nuclear pulse propulsion or laser light sail technology, as considered in the Breakthrough Starshot program, could reduce the journey time to a matter of decades.

There are claims that Alpha Centaurians are one of the races visiting the Earth. The most compelling testimony supporting the presence of the Alpha Centaurians is Elizabeth Klarer who had high level responsibities within the British military to monitor UFO reports. Klarer was apparently contacted by the Alpha Centaurians and eventually taken to Alpha Centauri for a few months to have a child fathered by the Alpha Centaurian, Akon. Klarer’s description of the Alpha Centaurians gives a vivid account of how technology can be wisely used to benefit both humanity and the ecosystem. The Alpha Centaurians were argued to be benevolent and genuinely desiring to assist humanity in dealing with its evolution.
