There have been talks about aliens, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) in the past months after the Congress' hearing on UFOs. One report claimed scientists and experts confirmed that UFOs and aliens are real.
UFOs and Aliens Are Real?
High-ranking politicians and experts have asserted that UFOs and aliens are real, have been documented, and, in some cases, have even visited Earth. Scientists with extensive experience and former high-ranking officials have come out to make the astounding assertions.
A 25-year-old former Directorate of Operations employee of the CIA, a Program Director for Advanced Systems at "Skunk Works" of Lockheed Martin, and a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence are all members of the team.
According to a statement from To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTS/AAS), team members have reportedly "operated under the shadows of top-secrecy for decades," and they believe "there is sufficient evidence" of UFOs and aliens.
Luis Elizondo, who oversaw a crucial program at the Pentagon, also claimed that UFOs exist and have been recorded. Eiizondo is also a senior professional intelligence officer with previous experience working with the United States Army, the Department of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the National Counterintelligence Executive.
Avi Loeb, an astronomer, has also asserted that not only are extraterrestrials genuine, but that they have visited Earth. In a 2018 paper in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, Loeb and his co-author Shmuel Bialy-a Harvard postdoctoral fellow-argued that an object they later dubbed Oumuamua was Earth's first encounter with an artifact of extraterrestrial civilization. Oumuamua's, compared to a 100-meter-long cigar or pancake, was believed to be unlike any known asteroid or comet.
A Harvard professor, Loeb, claimed to have found the first proof of extraterrestrial life on Earth. According to him, the mysterious IM1 meteor has galactic origins or was created by an advanced extraterrestrial culture.
UFO Hearing Reaction
An ex-Air Force intelligence officer told Congress that the US has been hiding a long-running program that recovers and decodes unidentified flying objects. The Pentagon denied the allegations.
Following the UFO hearing, "Star Trek" icon William Shatner expressed his skepticism regarding the claims. He thought aliens wouldn't try to hide if aliens were near us.
He challenged the idea that these "sightings" are highly developed spacecraft from distant solar systems. Shatner has previously participated in UFO investigations for documentaries like "A Tear in the Sky."
He wondered about the possibility of us knowing that there are other living things in the universe with aspirations identical to us. Shatner believed that visitors from other planets would express worries about the cosmos and the future. Nevertheless, he thought that their absence prevented it. Otherwise, they would announce their presence to everyone.
