On Thursday the U.S. president ordered the release of federal files related to UFOs and aliens, although no evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth is known to exist
To date, no U.S. government report or investigation has produced any evidence that extraterrestrials have visited Earth despite many decades of official study tracing back to the mid-20th century. In the past decade, the Pentagon’s AARO, as well as a NASA-commissioned expert panel, have documented sightings of unexplained objects, now generally referred to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), but neither has concluded that any of these incidents are evidence of alien technology or life.
“As a scientist and a member of NASA’s UAP panel, I haven’t seen anything that indicates we have observed phenomena that violate the laws of physics and require an alien society visiting us to be explained,” says Federica Bianco, an astrophysicist at the University of Delaware. “We have shown in our NASA study group that even the most unusual sightings could be explained by known human-built technologies when the right assumptions were made.”

Yeah, well, thus far I have been completely unimpressed with science’s approach to *anything* other than their ability to be completely manipulated and obfuscated by the world’s governments. Unclutch your pearls. Let the shit show commence.
Ahaha, they dug out Kirkpatrick.
Credits for letting Villarroel and Zurbuchen speak though.
Understandble but I want to see it myself release the files
That’s not true at all, actually, and this paper is completely wrong. 20% or so of the reports from Project Blue Book and the Condon Report, couldn’t simply explained by prosaic explanations.
So actually, Scientific American is completely misguided and incorrect
Edit: this is this the same nonsense they’ve been pushing for decades that has basically been debunked
Those scientists looking for old plankton farts on dusty Mars rocks are going to be so pissed when find out they have been hiding a whole basement full of alien bodies at some rich guys’ defense contracting side project.
Honestly, this doesn’t really surprise me. You’ve got decades of scientists searching for life out there, while all these conspiracies and alleged stories about sightings and encounters just never fully went away. When governments start opening files, it breaks down that long-standing wall of dismissal that critics and hardcore skeptics were comfortable “hiding” behind.
It forces people to admit it was never as simple as “nothing to see here.” Naysayers include the scientific community at large. The reaction feels very human and less about science suddenly being leapfrogged. NASA saying there’s no evidence of alien visitation, SETI scanning the skies for signals… it’s going to really “outsmart” them by miles.
Nonsense is right. And sad coming from “scientists”. But they are human after all; subject to the same incentives we all respond to (fear, fame, money, power, etc). I have compassion for them as they flail in their last attempts to suppress the inevitable.
