quote:

In a recent CBC interview, retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield shared his opinion on the elevated public interest in “unidentified aerial phenomena” sightings. Hadfield had a clear answer as to whether extraterrestrial lifeforms were behind the mysterious incidents. If you think they’re aliens, he says, you’re a moron. “Obviously, I’ve seen countless things in the sky that I don’t understand,” Hadfield told the Canadian broadcaster. The retired astronaut also was a pilot for both the Royal Canadian Airforce and US Navy. “But to see something in the sky that you don’t understand and then to immediately conclude that it’s intelligent life from another solar system is the height of foolishness and lack of logic,” he added. Other experts have suggested that adversaries could be behind the mysterious sightings, suggesting other nations like Russia or China may be invading US airspace using highly advanced technologies. Even if aliens aren’t behind the UFOs, that doesn’t mean we should discard the possibility that we are not alone in the universe, according to Hadfield. “But definitively up to this point, we have found no evidence of life anywhere except Earth, and we’re looking,” he told the CBC.

I’m glad this sole astronaut who has

has let us know that we are foolish if we think UFOs contain aliens.

So, what did ACTUAL astronaut Gordon Cooper see then, at the dawn of our space age , back in 1963 ?

Super Duper Top Secret military tech, as we were throwing everything into beating the Russians to the moon?

It's a good thing this isn't happening then. Many experts have examined dozens of incidents and found no earthly explanation for them.

To immediately excuse the possibility it is intelligent life from other solar systems is also the height of foolishness and lack of logic. One does not exclude a possibility simply because it does not fit in with their beliefs.

Are you claiming that Hadfield is not an ACTUAL astronaut?

Someone explain to me, how the same people that mock Christians for believing in things like angels and demons, have no problems believing that alien beings can travel from light years away to visit earth?

Sounds like he understands time and distance. The aliens have the same problem getting here as we would have going there. Science fiction and alien spotters gloss over this issue, which is really huge.

Well it ain’t russian or Chinese. They have to steal what we invent. If we ain’t got it they ain’t got it.

Oh boy. I guess all species develop their technological abilities and understanding of science at the same pace.

UFOs and Aliens are just glitches in the simulation.

He right. People should really be more skeptical. I go by the simple notion that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof”. Do I *want* to believe this is extraterrestrial in nature? Absolutely! How cool that would be! Do I *want* to believe Bigfoot an the Loch Ness monster are real? Absolutely. But until I see irrefutable proof, I’m just not going to. Show me the captured craft. Show me the fossil or corpse. Because without those things, it’s just a hypothesis. And a shaky one at best.
