Former Pentagon UFO official: 'We may not be alone'

(CNN)A former Pentagon official who led a recently revealed government program to research potential UFOs said Monday evening that he believes there is evidence of alien life reaching Earth.

"My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone," Luis Elizondo said in an interview on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."

A pair of news reports in The New York Times and Politico over the weekend said the effort, the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, was begun largely at the behest of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, who helped shore up funding for it after speaking to a friend and political donor who owns an aerospace company and has said he believes in the existence of aliens.

I guess you probably think we know all there is to know about physics and faster than light travel?

I believe 100% we are not alone, and we have plenty of evidence that we have been visited in the past.

Parallel universe?

I’ve had the same thought — what are the chances of them arriving here during the extremely small time window that advanced humans have existed, i.e., the immediately passed 4 or 5 thousand years? Maybe they stop by every million years to check in on earth.

We cant even get rid of the aliens jumping our borders.

“It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe.”

My guess is that it’s more likely that all of the “unknown stuff” described as “dark matter” and “dark energy” are overlapping multiverses that we haven’t recognized as existing yet.

I speculate that the UFO’s could be time travelers from the future.

I dunno. They could be angels the fighter pilots were seeing for all I know.

It would be interesting if a race of tiny beings were discovered. A spacecraft about 3mm in diameter with over 1,000 aliens in it, sitting on the backyard fence. They could come and go almost completely undetected...lol

The HUD display used to show the "UFO" shows the pilot tracking the object in a very stable fashion.

The object was framed in the HUD with little or no sign it was difficult to track. It doesn't match the narrative of "defying the laws of physics and aerodynamics".

Possibility world leaders will tell the terrified masses after millions leave in the Rapture, that those people were taken by aliens? All children up to each individual’s age of accountability will be gone as well.

There may be societies that harnessed electricity more than 1 billion years ago. Their understanding of the universe, would make ours seem like zero understanding. I think it would be folly for us to define their capabilities.

That is my point - if you accept that the odds are we are not alone - then defining what is possible for them is folly, given that there are likely to be societies much more advanced than ours.

[semaj]

Your #5: that’s funny.

[beethovenfan]

We’re not alone. Jesus is present.

[pfflier]

Yours is a very logical and compelling argument.

I would add: We, as a species didn't even radiate coherent information until Hertz, Tesla and Marconi gave us the radio in the very late 1800's.

That is a drawing, the photo ( which I can post ) is much more interesting.

Multi-verse is a fascinating theory. Would explain a lot of the strange things that happen.

[heights]

Correct “CAN”T POST )

[laplata]

Yes, it would/does. I need to study up on that theory.

And how does that relate to the UFO phenomenon of the last 70 years or so?

I would bet Columbus would say the same thing if you told him that one day aircraft would fly across the Atlantic in a matter of hours.

[wally_bert]

Or eaten by a small dog.

[wbill]

yep. Thinking four dimensionally.... The Universe is incomprehensibly enormous, as well. So, to have another civilization with interstellar technology to hit our flyspeck of a planet in the entire universe, at exactly the right time..... Not likely.

And, if they did, who's to say that we'd want them to find us? Or would be able to communicate with them if they did? For instance, you know about the ants that live in your driveway, but you don't spend time out there trying to talk to them. You might watch them, occasionally, or kill them when they try to get in the house. But, you don't talk to them. Why would we think that an alien race advanced enough to travel the stars would think any differently of us?
