The possibility of life in other parts of the universe is terrifying on its face, and we are asking, has the US government finally greenlighted UFOs conversation? Given this thought, the discerning many, after being presented with the known and substantiated evidence of extraterrestrial life, retreat into their bubble of apprehension, thus evading the unthinkable.
So we pose the zillion-dollar question – Do aliens exist?
The scientific community, led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is unhelpfully vague. For example, while acknowledging the discovery of unexplained objects, the space research agency has stated that there is no such evidence that extraterrestrial life exists.
“We have not yet discovered life on any other planet, and we have not seen any scientifically supported evidence of extraterrestrial life,” an explanation on NASA’s website reads.
This thesis on aliens has not been as convincing as they have been for UFOs. This is probably because of multiple sightings and, in some cases, vivid recollections of these space crafts.
Dubbed UFOs, the acronym for Unexplained Flying Objects, the United States Air Force came up with the term to gather and investigate prevalent reports of aerial phenomena when wars meant air battles were the order of the day.
Stories of this enigma have been widely documented.
In December 1965, a huge spacecraft docked on the outskirts of Keckburg, Pennsylvania, in the United States, it was reported. The narrative goes that firefighters and locals who had thought it a mechanic disaster saw something which looked like a car upon which writings of Egyptian hieroglyphs were scribbled.
Amidst the scare, the military rolled in with their accouterments, secured the perimeter, and purportedly bundled the craft away.
A cover-up or much ado about nothing?
Identically, another widely covered incident was in early January of 2008 when a police officer in Dublin, a small town in Texas, recounted that he had seen strange lights which resembled a volcanic flame.
According to the officer, the multiple rays of lights that appeared to be up high in the sky lingered for a couple of minutes and sped off.
So far, these couple of stories among the several have been treated as hearsays and hoaxes. With mere sentiments and incoherent reporting, the issue of UFO sightings has failed to become a topical issue worth a discussion, even over a cup of coffee.
Therefore, establishing the United States, Space Force (USSF) raised eyebrows to support the narrative that there are indeed extraterrestrial forces to reckon with. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump signed the Act, bringing the first military branch 73 years after Congressional approval.
Their mandate was an admission that ‘Space was a security imperative.’
The force’s portal states that the objective is ‘solely on pursuing superiority in the space domain.’ Perhaps a shift in the posture of a government that had been alien-skeptic for decades.
A few weeks ago, the powerful Intelligence Committee of the United States House of Representatives moved to hold hearings on UFOs, the first of its kind in over half a century.
“There is so much to learn about unidentified aerial phenomena,” Chairman of the committee Adam Schiff said, announcing the public hearings.
The overarching impression across the populace is that governments are misleading the public about extraterrestrial activities to avoid panic.
Mayhap should furnish the world with this top-secret intelligence sitting on shelves at the Pentagon, so we prepare for a possible doomsday, but what do I know?
