The former head of NASA, Charles Bolden, who headed the agency for eight years, said at a conference in Houston that very soon the Earth would be invaded by aliens. The cinema taught us not to expect anything good from the first contact with neighbors in the Universe. And he is promised and promised. And okay, if the supernumerary ufologists. But here - the most "main on skeet". The former head of NASA has made strange statements several times. Either he called to prepare for something unknown, then he confessed: they say, "I flew into space, I did not see aliens, but I do not lose hope."
In January 2017, Bolden was asked by NASA. Suspended? Knowing too much? Or talked too much? Indeed, information about UFOs reaches us, ordinary people, in an hour through a cosmic speck of dust. In 2002, the British Department of Defense declassified the Rendlsham case archive. It turns out that in the 80th year, a pyramidal object fell near their military base, and no one knew about it before. The most famous case of contact with aliens was the so-called "Roswell incident" - when in the summer of 1947 the US military either found a crashed UFO or shot it down themselves. The FBI declassified a document about this only in 2011.
Edgar Mitchell, Astronaut: “I grew up in Roswell, New Mexico. The old residents who lived there were silenced by government officials and the military. Often under threat of death. Therefore, they quietly hid their knowledge for years."
Of the Soviet celestials - pilots and cosmonauts - only a few dared to talk about contacts with UFOs. The exception is the famous pilot Marina Popovich. She even wrote several books about her encounters with aliens.
Marina Popovich, test pilot: “Three planes. But they weren't like airplanes. And as balloons, as airships, most likely. Well, that's all, it means: "Marina, these are your friends flying with us."
The silence of most of her colleagues is understandable. For reporting an incomprehensible contraption, which had not yet been seen on radar, one could get a medical examination. Or cross the road to other, more professional observers.
And it’s foolish to assume that the sky is not being watched so closely now. But they don't tell us about it. Apparently, from the awareness of "life on Mars" life on Earth can change dramatically. And this will happen in the next 20-30 years, when technologies will reach the stars.
