During a recent conference titled "The Pentagon, Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Crashed UFOs," Dr. Garry Nolan, a professor of pathology at Stanford University's medical school, made some bold assertions about the existence of aliens on Earth.
Nolan confidently declared that not only have aliens visited Earth, but they have "been here a long time."
Nolan likened aliens visiting in UFOs to when South American native tribes first saw Spanish ships, saying they didn't understand what they saw. "They're showing up and saying who amongst you are intelligent enough to realize what it is you're looking at," Nolan said at the conference. "Can you see what's in front of you for what it really is? Can you see the anomalous data point?"
When asked to quantify his confidence about aliens visiting Earth, Nolan said, "100%." He defended his belief in extraterrestrials on our planet by saying, "You just need to look at what your government is doing right now about it."
Nolan referred to the National Defense Authorization Act passed last year, establishing an unidentified aerial phenomena office. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which has 25 people working in it, has been tasked with "collecting the information across all of the U.S. Department of Defense, intelligence offices, and collation of that into a uniform format for the very first time, and provision of that then to Congress," according to news.com.au.
Nolan also alleged that experts are working on reverse engineering unknown crashed crafts from outer space. He said that 12 U.S. senators had requested more information regarding UFOs.
"I think you can go a step further it hasn't just visited, it's been here a long time, and it's still here," Nolan declared. "Aliens have been on Earth for a long time and are still here." He added, "I think it's an advanced form of intelligence that using some kind of intermediaries. It's not that they walk among us wearing a skin suit. You're going to put something there that I think of as an intelligence test."
Nolan's belief in extraterrestrial life is not unfounded. The "Wow! signal" refers to a burst of radio waves captured from outer space in 1977. The signal was 30 times stronger than typical background radiation, prompting some astronomers to believe it may have come from aliens looking for other signs of life. Scientists have said the sound may have come naturally from a pair of comets.
