NASA is often accused by ufologists and conspiracy theorists of hiding the truth about the secrets of space. As proof, people, among whom it is extremely rare to find real scientists, cite footage from the archive of the agency itself, in which they see aliens, flying saucers and traces of ancient civilizations.
NASA astronaut Drew Vostel told why the American aerospace agency prefers not to react to such information.
If experts are allowed to comment on the news about UFOs or mysterious figures on Mars, they, as a rule, remind of such a phenomenon as pareidolia. This is a visual illusion that occurs when a person sees something unfamiliar and involuntarily tries to discern familiar images in it.

However, many specific UFO news remain without any comment in principle, and these cases only inflame the whistleblowers. However, Drew Vostel says that everything is much simpler - NASA simply does not have time to pay attention to such reports, writes Express.
“Alas, it's still impossible to stop people making stories out of the blue,” Fostel muses. According to him, people who really want to believe in the conspiracy of space agencies, in all likelihood, will not work in any case, no matter what arguments are presented.
From the point of view of Fostel, this applies not only to aliens: "If you want that the flight of the Americans to the moon was a fiction, please, but to believe reality is much better," the astronaut muses.
