Two top astronomers from the SETI Institute (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) recently appeared in front of the congressional House Science and Technology Committee for a hearing regarding the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. They told the committee that extraterrestrial life most certainly exists, without question, one of those scientists is Seth Shostak, a well-known senior scientist at the SETI Institute. They said that the chance of discovering life on other planets is inevitable and will most likely occur within the next 20 years.(1)(2)
Their main argument was the size of the universe, emphasizing that there are trillions of stars out there, with one in every five most likely harboring an Earth-like planet.
“In the last 50 years, evidence has steadily mounted that the components and conditions we believe necessary for life are common and perhaps ubiquitous in our galaxy. The possibility that life has arisen elsewhere, and perhaps evolved intelligence, is plausible and warrants scientific inquiry. If you extrapolate on the planets they discovered, there are a trillion planets in the galaxy. That’s a lot of places for life. We know the majority of stars have planets, but what fraction of stars have planets that are more like the earth? It might be one in five.” – Dan Shostak
Scientists are discovering billions of Earth like planets on our Milky Way galaxy alone. I’d also like to mention that planets do not have to be Earth-like in order to harbor life, that’s just what we think and assume. Who knows what type of conditions life on other planets can thrive in? Or the biological make up of an extraterrestrial life form?
New York Politician Asks Astronomers about Extraterrestrials Already Visiting The Planet
Another topic brought up at the hearing was the topic of extraterrestrials, and if they are already visiting the planet. It was asked by U.S. Rep Chris Collins, a New York Republican.
You can view the full hearing HERE.
Chris: “I think I might ask the question everyone in this room wants to ask, have you watched ‘Ancient Aliens’ and what’s your comment about that series?”
Shostak’s reply: “The public is fascinated with the idea that we may be being visited now, or may have been visited in the past, the so-called UFO phenomenon. I personally don’t share the conviction that we are being visited. I don’t think that that would be something that all the governments of the world had managed to obfuscate – to keep secret. I don’t believe that. .. The idea that maybe we were visited during the time of the ancient Egyptians and so forth, keep in mind that in the 4.5 billion year history of the Earth, the time of the ancient Egyptians was yesterday. So again, why were they there then? What was it that brought them to Earth? I have no idea and I don’t find very good evidence.”
In this interview, Shostak said he is aware of the witness testimony, but the fact remains that there is no scientific evidence, something he can touch, feel and examine, and that most of the scientists he knows feel the same way.
I’m not sure Shostak has examined the black budget world. Just because he has not seen any scientific evidence, does not mean that there is no scientific evidence. To read more about the black budget, please click HERE.
I’d also like to mention that many scientists all over the world have expressed that there is tremendous amounts of evidence to support the idea that extraterrestrial visitations have been occurring, and for a very long time. It’s not hard for governments to keep secrets, and I think we should not assume that if they have been visiting us, that they would just show up en mass. Here is one of them (a scientist) who shares a different belief than Shostak:
[youtube id=”yO0T05kQkbs”]
Why Were They Here Then (Ancient Past) and Not Now?
One of Shostak’s questions was, if they were here in our ancient past, why are they not here now? I don’t know the answer to this, but I do know that Earth was a very different place thousands of years ago compared to what it is now. Today, Earth has been destroyed, the people are at war and the overall general vibe of the planet is heavy. It’s flooded in conflict, pain, hurt, greed and fear, but things are changing, and maybe that explains all of the UFO activity we’ve been seeing lately over the past few years. There are a number of reasons why they might choose not to interact with us at this point in our history. At the same time, it seems interaction has been occurring, but with various individuals across the planet (instead of full out open disclosure) and with different government agencies all over the world.
So that brings us to his next point, that he doesn’t believe they would be able to keep this a secret. I personally don’t think it would be that hard. There are various secret military bases all over the planet, who is to say they are not interacting with those agencies at those bases?
What about all of the recent previously classified UFO documents that governments have now released? They managed to keep those secret for over 50 years… Don’t those go to show that they are indeed capable of keeping these secrets? They were able to cover up the fact that they were investigating the UFO phenomenon for decades.
There is a long history of UFOs interacting with military agencies (see below). Again, it would be a good idea if Dan was made aware of the black budget. As a scientist, I can understand why he doesn’t find all of the witness testimony compelling, however at the same time, the backgrounds of the men and women who have testified are no joke, and the official government documents correlated with them.
There is so much the human race still has to learn, realize and wake up to. We cannot even begin to comprehend the reasons why they are not interacting with humanity as they once supposedly did, openly and for everyone to see. Perhaps they don’t want to cause panic? Perhaps they are waiting for us to return the planet into balance with its natural environment. The list goes on and on, into various subjects that might involve concepts of science like frequency and vibration, who knows. The fact remains, the evidence is there and it’s overwhelming, it goes FAR beyond witness testimony and into abductions, films, reverse engineering, free energy, UFOs and nuclear missile sites, documents ect…
Here is a video of Bigelow Aerospace Director Mike Gold who mentions another congressional hearing about life on other planets. It’s good to see that some are at least aware of the UFO phenomenon and its importance. He expresses how he feels that it is a serious issue (The UFO issue) and that he is glad someone has been taking the reports.

UFOs ( Brief summary from past articles)
As far as UFOs go, they are a documented fact. The information below illustrates this, and yes I do understand that UFO does not equate to extraterrestrial space craft.
Within the past few years, dozens of governments admitted to allocating resources and having programs to study the UFO phenomenon. For instance, in Canada the RCMP, Transport Canada, and the Department of National Defence recently admitted to tracking UFOs and investigating them. (source) They’ve been doing it for years, accumulating thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents. Many of these documents have since been officially released.
HERE is the latest batch of UFO files released from the United Kingdom.
Documents released by the National Security Agency (NSA) reveal what is recorded when a UFO is being tracked on radar. HERE is one example. HERE is a four page U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and NSA report describing a particular encounter in great detail.
“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. ”
You can read more about the radar tracking of UFOs HERE.
HERE is a Wikileak cable that describes how some politicians already know we are not alone in the universe. You can read more about that HERE.
Again the list goes on and on and thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents are now available in the public domain. For a summary of more documents that have been declassified and made available, a video done by UFO expert Richard Dolan does a great one in 10 minutes. To watch it click HERE and see what type of information is out there.
Here is some of the witness testimony that the SETI scientist was referring to as something he cannot consider as evidence, and I understand that. But again, he does not seem to be aware of the black budget world -which include projects the human race knows nothing about.
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. Trillions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have deliberately been kept in the dark.” (source) – Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer
“In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe. The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole. They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years. There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb.” (source) – Paul Hellyer
“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
“This thing has gotten so highly-classified…it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business, that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate intelligence committee (source)
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon” (source) – Dr. Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor
Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and 2008 presidential candidate said that there is “an extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.” You can learn more about the citizens hearing here.
I cannot begin to express how much information and evidence is out there to support the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

It seems that Dr. Shostak is just one of many scientists curtailed by the security protocols that the military industrial complex puts in place to do just this. It seems to me, that he simply chooses not to fully investigate, through fear of what the investigation might lead to, and the damage that this may do to his reputation in his community of peer review.
Steven Macon Greer is an American retired medical doctor who founded the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) and The Disclosure Project, which seeks the disclosure of suppressed UFO information. Dr. Greer has provided an interesting compilation of people and material in reference to this phenomena. He has done exceptional work in bringing this information to peoples attention.
Kev
Good point about Dr. Shostak on why he simple won’t look at credible UFO evidence (I think the late Carl Sagan had the same blind spot about the UFO phenomena).
I would just like to say that, unlike what Dr. Shostak implies, few UFO “believers” think ALL world governments know and coverup UFO evidence. Most world leaders don’t know any more than we do on the subject.
Some, like officials in Chili right now, are honestly trying to find answers.
I personaly don’t even believe that most US officials know the truth, only a select few.
I just wish modern scientists would start acting like scientists and have the courage to search for the truth, whether it goes against their “protocol” of how ET contact should be, or even if it threatens their careers.
one of the questions asked above, why were UFO”S present in the past in Egypt and India and elsewhere in developing civilisation and not visibly and tangibly present, is due to “Time Dilation”, which is presumably if the Aliens are coming from a distant galaxy, will take thousands of years of our time but to the Aliens it could be just days, months.
I’ve said that time and again. “They” could be just going out for a cosmic cheeseburger, so to speak and we here on Earth would be stuck waiting, as it were.
I’m all for knowledge, but to give much concentration to this is pointless. We should just get along with fixing our own species up before we go looking for others or speculating on their existence. If they are here, we don’t know anything about them and therefore can’t act because we don’t know. Instead of a god, now that that is being debunked, they’re coming out with aliens to control our thinking. Let the aliens speak for themselves. If they are worth their salt, they will know to do that in the proper way.
Good point, I agree that we need to fix things here on our planet. I think that is also directly related to the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon. But the point remains, we need to change our planet.
That’s the point: there is a lot wrong done in earth, energy, transport, communications, … everything must be based on magnetic forces. I hope they soon rearrange the earth, they have thousands of years of experience. I feel that I have contacted.
As Kevin pointed out, the governments of today are nothing more than the “Pharisees of yesterday” simply keeping the “common man”…enslaved!
Sorry, but lost interest in the article when it described war as a new occurance, and that the ‘overall general vibe of the Earth is heavy’. What sort of pseudo-speak is that for an article of any kind? I’m sure aliens exist, including those of human level intellect and likely beyond, and it’s possible they could have visited Earth, either in the past or now; some witness accounts are hoaxes, others are left unexplained. At the end of the day though, there’s just not been enough evidence available to the wider scientific community to form a cohesive opinion on the matter either way. That’s all.
There has been plenty of scientific evidence! Especially of UFO craft. You have not seen it because it is part of the black budget world that’s mentioned and highlighted in the article (which takes you to another).
I mentioned thousands of files of UFO documents…observation by radar and military craft…..is observation not included within the realm of scientific evidence?
I don’t understand how you see that as “pseudo-speak.”
“If you want to know the secrets of the universe, think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Tesla
Thanks for reading 🙂
Observation isn’t evidence unless it’s verifiable by others and repeatable.
Obviously the guy was sticking to known facts so he could get funding approved. That’s sensible. You lot a slightly nuts and may need meds.
Agree with comment above… ‘overall general vibe of the earth is heavy’… you mean in the luckiest period of human existence. . When you can sit on your arse and get housed, fed and clothed. WOW, yeah much better times in history before now when it was a struggle to find food and live to 30
Well if this is your stance tell me why humans are the only species on earth that has to pay to live here, when it happened & who decided it should happen, & why it needed to happen? It seems to me there is an abundance of everything we need to live but certain people have manipulated mankind to extort & accumulate for themselves without having to lift a fingerto do so!!!
Great video. Everyone who knows anything been threatened (and quite a few murdered) and that’s why in the last years of their lives they open up. He knows a little but not a lot. Anyone who knows a lot is constantly monitored.
Its been a secret for thousands of years, famous people in history like Columbus said while his first night in america he saw a flying disc object which I learned in history. and all the other hints with ufo’s on famous paintings also monuments should be enough evidence or what about when a flying object crashes in mexico an the government confiscated it in a hurry before people could find out. I have seen 3 ufo’s and 1 time out of those I was with a group of friends it was 5 of us we all saw it rise in the air like about 20 feet an within a half second It was out of sight it had a blue streak of light that it left behind
Its all absolute nonsense. The planet we exist on is the only planet we should be concerned about right now. People have too much time on their hands. That ‘work’ should be put to better use like saving lives helping dying kids we have all over the world. If something does exist out there no wonder they stay away from us. We are a dying planet.
I think we should also think about this Extraterestrial life because it makes us more indulgent and more out of the boxe thinkers and with more large perspective angles. The church before never accepted other teories and never thought about discussing scientific evidence and we were in a dark age for centuries. Me, when I think about exyraterestrial life and life beeing in some other places makes me feel good and my horison is increasing , I am more open minded and I can find more solution. It s like demonstrating the Piythagora’s theoreme using the squares.
The problems you mention in your comment could be sorted completely by the human race as a people telling the ruling classes we’ve had enough of them bleeding us dry & causing everything you have mentioned by their accumulation of wealth & power. We are the ones with the power as we allow their rule by consent, & as such have the power to take back the wealth & control of our planet, which in turn will solve these problems. We never had these problems until these ruling systems (which clearly are not working) were put in place.
My personal theory is that ETs are just evolved humans.. and just like we would seem alien- like to cavemen.. is how people see them. I do think some come back to help guide us.. and open our consciousness and raise our awareness.. I also agree that the vibration and frequency on earth needs a good tuning because we are ruining it at the moment.
There was a law made that says that extraterrestrial humanoids cannot interfere with our affairs now. That is why they were here and are now gone.But they have been monitoring us, especially in the USSR and the USA in the 1940ws and 1950s. The law is similar to Starfleet Command…
In the dinosaur age there was a war between alien races for cooper to create new elements, they ended up sending the most destructive attack which kill almost all life, dinosaurs, etc.., this event created a cold temperature which made a glacial era, they have been coming and going from the planet through the past years….
hey buddy, where did you hear this or is this your interpretation? it is pretty interesting though, i dont know about the whole fight part but saying aliens wiped out the dinosaurs essentially is something i havnt ever really thought about.. because to be honest know one really has a steady idea on how it actually happened
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic and making fun of people that think we’ve been “visited.”
“Scientists are discovering billions of Earth like planets on our Milky Way galaxy alone”
Are they really??? Not according to NASA
thanks for sharing some quotes from intelligent people who exceed the feeble limits that shostak claims are scientific. he thinks aliens will use radio frequencies to communicate, and he asks for funding for that. that’s laughable. and he ignores all the evidence that earth is being visited and/or observed, because he can’t “touch and feel” the observers. wow. what a “scientist.”
I think the most ignorant attitude that these scientist have is that alien life in different parts of the universe have to follow the same guidelines as life on Earth. As we can see from previous cycles on this planet different climates, gases, elements, etc. create the perfect conditions for the type of life that can be sustained in that ”place”..They have to think outside of the box!
People used to believe in Fairies, now its UFO’s
Hey Carl,
That’s not quite the same comparison. There is plenty of evidence to back up UFOs as opposed to fairies. Sure, one could argue that evidence can be found when you look hard and make it into what you want to, but it’s real only a North American thing at this point when it comes to not believing in UFOs. Most areas in the world outside of NA have already disclosed the reality to the public.
Or maybe they don’t exist? Just mankind trying to discredited the existence of God just as in the evolutionist theory.
bahaha. always has to be someone who brings god into everything. If you truly have faith in god, why are you worried when they can co-exist? Do your homework, there is more enough evidence that other life forms exist.
Of course! Because God is everything! HE created everything, even YOU.
This is what happens when you don’t learn God’s Word. Total ignorance.
God tells us who they are and what they will do. It’s only ignorance that people don’t understand that the King James Bible was written from the manuscripts (which cannot be altered [Massorah]), along with other bibles in different languages written from the manuscripts that time
Jesus said, “I have foretold you ALL things”. If you don’t study it, how can you
say it’s anything but the truth?
On judgement day, it’s only going to be you and Christ. You will answer for lack of interest You won’t be able to say, “Well, Joe said…..”, or “Such and such said,..”. What are you going to say?
“Well, I was too lazy, or I really didn’t care?” Good luck with that.
There is a letter in each 1611 King James where the scholars apologize for the mistakes they know they made. They had many languages to translate from to English. Therefore, get you a Strong’s Concordance, Lexicon (which is a bible dictionary of sorts of every word in the bible in it’s own language), and start studying for yourself!
Anything man says, go look it up for yourself. It should always align with God’s Word.
Pray for forgiveness of your sins. Do it often. The sins you haven’t asked forgiveness for when you die, you are accountable for.
How about God doesn’t exist??? Maybe the whole religion thing was started through a misunderstanding of alien life who were so advanced and they told us they were Gods to enslave us. Over time certain parts have the bible have been rewritten and misconstrued twisted and whatever… so who to say the god we worship wasnt alien… Ever heard of the annunaki story??
Hello Evan Gall!
As you study the, Annunaki, Summeerians, Atlantians, Lemurians, etc., you will discover “How” the Annunaki come into play in Scripture. It’s quite obvious once you understand the stories that are being told in Scripture. However, once you eliminate the obvious interaction of the Annunaki from Scripture, you are still left with…God!
Take Care and God Bless!
Now your just showing your ignorance of God’s Word. I know this because I used to say the same ignorant things. Once I started studying His Word, I learned just how ignorant I was.
Why don’t you try learning His Word with understanding, then make up your mind.
What have you got to lose? Everlasting life, maybe? (pun)
Shostack (Seth that is, never heard of Dan) and his ilk (Tartar, Krauss, Tyson, etc…) are well compensated professional liars to the end. What a disgrace to the human race these people are. Just my opinion.
Blue Planet Project is allegedly the notebook of a scientist who worked on a top secret United States government program involving alien research. This scientist visited various UFO crash sites, Blue Planet Project Book Contains these notes and drawings of aliens and UFOs at crash sites released before he disappeared.
