A group of Catholic evolutionary biologists, astrochemists, astrophysicists, theologians and astronomers will gather in Washington, D.C., this weekend to discuss a topical scientific issue in high-level government circles.
Extraterrestrials. Advanced alien civilizations. UFOs.
“It’s quite timely, actually,” Stephen M. Barr, president of the Society of Catholic Scientists, said of the organization’s 2021 conference, which is entitled “Extraterrestrials, AI, and Minds Beyond the Human.”
“We don’t know enough to say that it’s improbable or that it is probable that there are highly evolved species out there,” Barr told Our Sunday Visitor.
Conference attendees will be in the nation’s capital from June 4-6 listening to talks on the search for alien life and the likelihood of extraterrestrials at the same time that political leaders and defense officials are discussing unidentified flying objects and their national security implications. What was once snickered at is now a serious topic of discussion.
“We are now relying on military and intelligence-collection capabilities to collect the data and then try to interpret the data. This is not a conversation about how grandma saw some lights in the backyard and then people wind up scratching their heads wondering what it was,” Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence officer, told the Washington Post in a recent interview.
The U.S. Department of Defense is expected to release a major unclassified report this month — the first of its kind — detailing experiences of unidentified flying objects by U.S. fighter pilots and other military personnel.
In recent weeks, retired service members in media interviews have shared their experiences with airborne phenomena. The government has even released unclassified videos that appear to depict strange-looking objects mimicking the movements of fighter jets.
Look at that thing!” a pilot screams in one video as his radar locks in on a flying object.
“It’s rotating,” another......

Is this the new *How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?* time wasting speculation when they could be doing something practical that Jesus told us, like feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and preaching the gospel?
If aliens exist, God made them. God made Democrats. I can’t see how aliens could be worse.
Of course aliens exist! One need only look at States that border Mehico. One also need only look at the illegals employed by rich democrats.
As far as aliens from another planet? Of course not! Nothing but demons masquerading as aliens, to drive people from believing in Jesus.
Or cleaning up the mess in their own Church.
Or Russia or China's?
Or demons?
The late Quix had a point.
“If aliens exist, God made them. “
I always find it interesting that so few understand that. A Creator creates. It would not make sense to create one thing and never create another thing.
Very well said, Madam.
I guess there’s a good chance intelligent life lives other places in the universe, but they cant get here anymore than we could go there.
That’s the cue to summon those here that are really devoted “THEY ARE DEMONS KILL THEM NOW” screamers.
What would be your response to the discovery of microorganisms on Mars?
Certainly with any type of technology we are so far unaware of. One theory that would preclude aliens having to fly vast distances is the idea of “portals” where a craft could simply pass from one area of the galaxy to another far away. In the accounts of the infamous Skinwalker Ranch, the UFO’s were reported to disappear into openings in the night skies through which blue daytime skies were visible.
Whatever they want the answer is “NO.”
Hint: If they come here it will be through the Southern border.
Seriously, Microorganisms aren’t intelligent beings that want to eat me. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
[WWW] “Hypothesis proposes a tentative explanation or prediction. (ex.)Their hypothesis may be proven true or false by testing and experimentation.
A theory, on the other hand, is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence.
A hypothesis is not a prediction. Rather, a prediction is derived from a hypothesis. A (causal) hypothesis does not become a theory if it subsequently becomes well-supported by evidence. Rather, it becomes a well-supported hypothesis.”
Have heard very few top scientists use the word theory, when discussing subjects on interviews. Scientists seem careful about using “hypothesis” rather than misusing the term “theory.”
