If anyone would knowNot Alone
Bill Nelson, the recently appointed head of NASA, believes that theres extraterrestrial life lurking somewhere in the cosmos.
Are we alone? Personally, I dont think we are, Nelson told CNN in a video interview on Sunday.
The interview came after the Pentagon finally released the unclassified version of its long-awaited report on unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP). And despite the reports main conclusion being we dont really know what those things were, Nelson seems convinced that life exists somewhere out there, even if aliens dont end up being the explanation for the bizarre sightings.
The report, to be clear, revealed absolutely zero evidence that theres any life beyond Earth. But it also failed to explain nearly all of the UAP sightings on file. So while Nelson isnt saying that he has proof that aliens are behind the UAPs, he does think its likely they exist.
But when it comes to the universe, remember, the universe is so large, Nelson told CNN. We have a program in NASA called the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. But thus far, we dont have any receipt of communication from something thats intelligent.
Another distinct possibility is that the UAP sightings were some sort of advanced drone or aircraft sent by another country. But Nelson doesnt think thats likely, he said, in part because the amazingly fast speeds and rapid direction changes exceed the capabilities of any countrys known tech.
We dont know the answer to what those Navy pilots saw, Nelson added. Now they know that they saw something. They tracked it, they locked their radar on to it, they followed it, it would suddenly move quickly from one location to another. And what the report does tell us that is public is that there have been over 140 of these sightings.
