Head of NASA Suggests That UFOs Could Be Alien Technology – Futurism

During an appearance this week at the University of Virginia, NASA boss Bill Nelson made some eyebrow-raising remarks about a possible connection between military sightings of unidentified flying objects and the search for alien life.

Ive talked to those pilots and they know they saw something, and their radars locked on to it, Nelson told the crowd at the university, which is where he got his law degree. And they dont know what is. And we dont know what it is. We hope its not an adversary here on Earth that has that kind of technology.

Thats an interesting analysis on its own. But look what he said next, when he started directly speculating about the search for life beyond Earth:

But its something, Nelson added during the wide-ranging event. And so this is a mission that were constantly looking, Who is out there? Who are we? How did we get here? How did we become as we are? How did we develop? How did we civilize? And are those same conditions out there in a universe that has billions of other suns and billions of other galaxies? Its so large I cant conceive it.

Provocatively, Nelson even went on to conjecture that alien civilizations could be found in a parallel universe.

Now there are even theories that there might be other universes, Nelson added. And if thats the case, who am I to say planet Earth is the only location of a life form that is civilized and organized like ours?

Obviously, Nelson isnt claiming to have any specific information, and in all likelihood he was just having some fun during a public appearance. Its also not Nelsons first time opining that theres almost certainly alien life out there somewhere.

But it worth contrasting Nelsons freewheeling style with that of his immediate predecessor, Steve Jurczyk, who was much more reserved and circumspect on the topic. Take this interview he did with Futurism earlier this year:

You know, its, uh, hard to say, he told us with a laugh when asked about the search for alien life. But you know, part of the Mars mission is looking for past signs of life, and were detecting planets around other stars, right? With Kepler and eventually with the James Webb Space Telescope and other missions, we want to do direct imaging of exoplanets, planets around other stars. So were advancing our knowledge there.

But so far, no aliens, he said.
