That Time Our Gov’t Studied UFOs And Got Lost Down The Rabbit Hole
No, E.T. is NOT able to operate our nuclear reactors
The Initial Evidence
“Life finds a way.” Yes, that line from Jurassic Park became a meme of sorts, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. All one need do is to consider that tardigrades can survive the hard vacuum of space, nematodes thrive deep within the crust of the Earth, and bioaerosols drift happily along in our planet’s lower stratosphere. There are amoeba-sized animals called lociferans whose entire life cycle does not involve oxygen, hyperthermophiles that prefer environments at 80°C, and viruses that evolve in as little as fifteen days (which is why new flu shots — and probably COVID shots — are needed every year).
Indeed, life finds a way. That fact in and of itself should answer any doubts about whether alien life might exist elsewhere among the estimated three trillion planets in the Milky Way galaxy, itself only one of an estimated two trillion galaxies in the universe. In other words, chances are incredibly high that there is not just extraterrestrial life, but true spacefaring civilizations somewhere out there.
For starters, take the 120+ UFO sightings that have been reported in the past two decades by U.S. and foreign military assets, like this report:
