White House on possible existence of aliens: ‘We don’t know’
The White House revealed Wednesday where it now stands on the
possible existence of alien life, telling reporters they “don’t know”
whether the numerous sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)
are proof whether extraterrestrials are real, reports foxnews.com.
“We
don’t know. We don’t have the answers about what these phenomena are,”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told a reporter at the
daily White House press briefing who asked if the U.S. government
believed there “may be life outside of our planet.”
Kirby said he
didn’t have a position on it “one way or the other” that he could
immediately speak to, but did say the government believed “there are
unexplained aerial phenomena that have been sighted and reported by
pilots, Navy and Air Force, that these phenomena have in some cases had
an impact on our training ranges, on our pilots’ ability to fly, train,
operate and stay ready.”
“That alone makes it a national security
issue worth looking at,” he added. “Unidentified aerial phenomena
doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but it’s an honest assessment of
what we think about this problem set. And so we’ll see where it goes.”
Earlier
in the briefing, Kirby told another reporter that he had “no
information” to provide “one way or the other” on the existence of a
“UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,” but admitted the
White House takes the issue of UAPs seriously.
“There’s a whole
office at the Pentagon that is stood up to analyze the data, collect
reports, collate those reports and forward them up appropriately. And
that’s, I think, testament to the fact that we know that in some cases
these phenomena have impacted military training, have an impact on
military readiness,” he said.
The reporter pressed Kirby, asking whether President Biden felt
claims of the existence of such a program warranted further
investigation, and if the White House saw them as credible.
“If
the president didn’t believe that the sightings by pilots were serious
enough to be considered, he wouldn’t have wanted the Pentagon to stand
up an office to look at this, to analyze the data, to collect reports
and provide a system by which we can collate the information and better
figure out what we’ve got here,” Kirby responded.
“But
that work is ongoing. So if your question is do we think we need to be
transparent with the American people, of course, we need to be as
transparent as we can be. But the truth is… we don’t have hard and fast
answers on these things. We are trying to get smarter on it,” he added.
A former US Air Force fighter pilot asserts that he has deciphered
the method behind the extraordinary maneuvers of UFOs, reports dailystar.co.uk.
Over
the past two decades, numerous military encounters with these enigmatic
crafts have been reported, prompting a significant investigation by the
Pentagon.
One of the most renowned sightings occurred during the
USS Nimitz encounter, where fighter pilots witnessed a UFO descending
from 28,000 feet to just above sea level in less than a second.
This
astonishing movement would imply that the craft reached a staggering
speed of 19,000 miles per hour, a velocity that would be fatal to any
human pilot.
According
to Chris Lehto, a former USAF pilot, the craft exhibits two key
characteristics: it moves without inertia, essentially lacking weight,
and it accelerates at an incredibly rapid pace without affecting its
surroundings.

Chris
believes that the explanation lies within a technology that seems
straight out of science fiction. He proposes that the answer to the UFO
enigma lies in the Alcubierre Drive, a theoretical interstellar engine
conceptualized by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.
The
Alcubierre Drive employs a form of “space warp” technology, reminiscent
of what has been depicted in episodes of Star Trek. By bending space, a
craft inside a “warp bubble” could potentially travel at or even
surpass the speed of light without violating the known laws of physics.
While
the Alcubierre Drive remains a hypothetical concept with challenges to
overcome, Chris notes that the required energy is no longer believed to
be unattainably large.
Patents
filed with the US patent office outline the potential workings of the
drive, as well as another groundbreaking technology theorized by
American aerospace engineer Salvatore Pais.
Pais suggests that
high-powered rotating magnets could theoretically eliminate an object’s
inertia, and he has filed a patent for a starship based on this
principle.
However, Chris maintains skepticism regarding Pais’
theory. He explains that while Pais’s patent applications for the US
Navy attracted attention for their potential energy-related
applications, doubts have been raised about their feasibility. There is
speculation that they may be scams, pseudoscience, or disinformation
intended to mislead adversaries of the United States.
Alternatively,
rival theories propose that the “Tic Tac” UFO is a classified Pentagon
project testing similar advanced technologies discussed by Chris.
Scientists say they have found evidence of a new Earth-like
planet that has suddenly appeared in our Solar System and is orbiting
the Sun.
Physicists, including those from the National Astronomical Observatory
of Japan, said the planet is likely to be the mysterious ‘Planet Nine’
that was hypothesised to exist in the far outer edges of the Solar
System.
Several studies in the past have suggested there is likely an
undiscovered planet beyond the Kuiper Belt – a stellar disk of materials
such as asteroids, space rocks, comets around the Sun in the outer
Solar System past the orbit of Neptune.
Independent.co.uk reports: In the new research, published recently in The Astronomical Journal, scientists
found that some of the objects in the Kuiper Belt behave in a way
indicative of the presence of a small planet among them.
One such object, they said, is about 500 astronomical units (AU) from
the Sun, where 1 AU is the distance between the Sun and the Earth.
In comparison Neptune is at a distance of 30 AUs from the Sun.
Some of these were also found to have “odd” orbits suggesting they
are being pull by the gravity of a cosmic entity larger than those that
typically influence such objects.
Computer simulations run by the scientists indicate that the most
likely explanation for the observations was another hidden planet in the
Kuiper Belt.
“We predict the existence of an Earth-like planet,” researchers wrote in the study.
“It is plausible that a primordial planetary body could survive in
the distant Kuiper Belt as a Kuiper Belt planet (KBP), as many such
bodies existed in the early solar system,” they added.
If such a planet exists, researchers say it would have a mass about
1.5 to 3 times that of Earth with an inclination of about 30 degrees.
They say the theorised planet’s orbit would likely place it between 250 and 500 AU from the Sun.
Researchers say the discovery of such a planet close to the Kuiper
Belt can unravel new constraints on planet formation and evolution.
“In conclusion, the results of the KBP scenario support the existence
of a yet-undiscovered planet in the far outer solar system,” scientists
noted.
