Pressed into making a statement by two petitions, the White House offered up an official declaration over the weekend regarding Extraterrestrial Intelligent and visitation of Earth.

Prompted by the “We the People” initiative, two petitions were submitted, both meeting the minimum requirement of 5,000 signatures (since raised to 25,000) within a 30 day period.

The first calling on the government to disclose any knowledge of or communication with extraterrestrial beings received 5,387 signatures while the second, pushing for a formal acknowledgment from the White House that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race amassed 12,078 John Hancock’s.

The White House response?

Phil Larson from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy made the following statement on the Whitehouse.gov website:

“The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race,”

Larson further states:

“In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.”

Searching for ET, But No Evidence Yet

By Phil Larson

Thank you for signing the petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.

However, that doesn’t mean the subject of life outside our planet isn’t being discussed or explored. In fact, there are a number of projects working toward the goal of understanding if life can or does exist off Earth. Here are a few examples:

1. SETI—the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence—was originally stood up with help from NASA, but has since been moved to other sources of private funding. SETI’s main purpose is to act as a giant ear on behalf of the human race, pointing an array of ground-based telescopes towards space to listen for any signal from another world.
2. Kepler is a NASA spacecraft in Earth orbit that’s main goal is to search for Earth-like planets. Such a planet would be located in the “Goldilocks” zone of a distant solar system—not too hot and not too cold—and could potentially be habitable by life as we know it. The Kepler mission is specifically designed to survey our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover Earth-sized, rocky planets in or near the habitable zone of the star (sun) they orbit.
3. The Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, is an automobile-sized rover that NASA is launching soon. The rover’s on-board laboratory will study rocks, soils, and other geology in an effort to detect the chemical building blocks of life (e.g., forms of carbon) on Mars and will assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life.

A last point: Many scientists and mathematicians have looked with a statistical mindset at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth and have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life.

Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them—especially any intelligent ones—are extremely small, given the distances involved.

But that’s all statistics and speculation. The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

So, that’s it! What? Huh? You don’t believe them? Well then, why did they even bother to make a statement if nobody is going to believe it?

What reasons would they have to withhold this information?

I’ll tell you what reason, panic and chaos. Yea, yea, of course you think you could handle it. Why, because it’s not actual reality. No matter how much you think you believe that ET is visiting the Earth, only a landing and interaction on a national basis will allow your mind to really grasp the reality.

Until that happens, I will not back down from my contention that most people will freak the “F” out! That’s why I believe even if the Government knows that ET is here, they will never tell us and this is one case where I agree with them.

Did you all happen to notice that they raised the minimum petition signature count? Do you think it had a lot to do with this specific subject? Do you believe that the Gov doesn’t like us meddling in areas they prefer not to talk about? Of course they do, otherwise they’d be running their pie holes about everything.

This has always been a very delicate subject and everyone has their views on it as I do. Unfortunately I don’t see where this has changed a single thing. Believers will say the Gov is lying or covering up and nonbelievers will claim that this announcement is merely more proof that there are no Aliens visiting our little blue ball.

What do you believe?
