White House: We Have Never Communicated with Aliens, Honest




The White House has officially confirmed that aliens aboard UFOs have not landed on the planet, nor have they contacted the human race.
In a response to two petitions posted to the White House Web site, the U.S. government said that "there was no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth."
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) for UFO conspiracy theorists, White House officials went even farther. "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," wrote Phil Larson, a member of the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House, in a recent, though undated, blog post. "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."
Larson's statement was a response to two petitions, requesting that the Obama Administration disclose the government's knowledge of and communications with extraterrestrial beings, and/or acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
Larson also highlighted efforts to search for evidence of alien life, such as SETI, the Kepler spacecraft, and the Mars Science Laboratory to be part of the next Mars rover, Curiosity.
Unfortunately, UFO watching sites such as The Object Report or Paranormal News did not themselves report or comment on the news, leaving one to wonder whether they supported the government's explanation, or considered it part of dozens of ongoing conspiracy theories. According to former National Aeronautics and Space Administration Data and Photo Control Department manager, Ken Johnston, who worked for the space agency's Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the Apollo missions, NASA, a government-funded agency, discovered evidence of alien cities on the Moon.
But Larson also held out hope.
"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," Larson wrote.
"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."
