Bill Nelson wants to believe it. The NASA boss returned a few days ago to the wave of high-profile UFO sightings by US Navy pilots. He does not exclude the idea that these phenomena can actually testify to the presence of an extraterrestrial life form on Earth.
A few months ago, "UFO specialist" Jeremy Corbell shared footage of a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) disappearing into the ocean off the coast of San Diego, California. The Pentagon then confirmed the authenticity of these images. This new "encounter" was only the latest, once again igniting the interest of both the press and the public, to the point of forcing US authorities to consider the subject.
From this intention was born a report published last June in which the Pentagon returned to these recent UFO sightings recorded almost everywhere on the planet. In this paper, intelligence officials then explained that they had found no evidence that the aerial phenomena observed in recent years are extraterrestrial spacecraft.
On the other hand, this report conceded that many of the observed phenomena were still difficult to explain , in particular by the level of acceleration of the objects concerned, as well as by their ability to change direction or to submerge. Finally, for the authorities, some of these aerial phenomena could have been an experimental technology tested by a rival power, most likely Russia or China.
That being said, Bill Nelson, former astronaut and senator from Florida, and current NASA administrator, recently returned to these UFOs during a live interview with the University of Virginia. The boss of the space agency notably recalled that more than 300 observations recognized unidentified flying objects had been recorded by US authorities since 2004.
"I spoke to these pilots. They saw something, their radars locked on it, and they don't know what it was. We also don't know what it is “, he explained to Professor Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. "We just hope this kind of technology doesn't belong to any of our adversaries here on Earth “.
Given these observations, the NASA boss also did not rule out that it could be extraterrestrial technology , evoking the idea that the Earth-like conditions that allowed our expansion could also exist in this universe of billions of other suns and billions of other galaxies.
“There are even theories that there might be other universes " , he added. "If that's the case, who am I to say that planet Earth is the only one that supports a civilized and organized life form like ours? “.
