Where Are the Aliens? Right Here, But We Are Slow to Recognize That!





Institutional denial is finally fading, though it will take a long time for the effects to die down.

understand something that is supported by conforming evidence and actual reports by creditable folks.

1         around 75 alien races maintain a presence directly on Earth.  Deep undergound bases and actual mass control make this easy.  The craft plunge into deep lakes or the ocean and enter through any cliff face to move deep inland to a safe harbor.

2      over 200,000 witnessed ufo reports in our atmosphere tells us they are there and also going somewhere.  We all missed that point for years.

3          Part of that traffic is human and other earth originated species.  We have had a long time to do this right and our particular species was engineered to TERAfORM TERRA starting after the Pleistocene Nonconformity.

4            A major DARK research program is MASS control.  starting mid fifties and explains many UFO reports.  I actually know how ti do this and have seen it demoed  that is when i did the literature search.  It was too easy.

5               MASS control allows transport at a real fraction of light speed making inter star transport possible in real lifetimes.  None of this requres a Warp Drive which is aspirational

6            wormhole transit is plausible and costs to produce which means they are built and maintained. We have creditable reports in remote locales including watchers.  These are not ever abandoned. we need to invent this tech obviously.

Where Are the Aliens? Right Here, But We Are Slow to Recognize That!

Below is the transcript of an interview that I had last night with Jesse Weber Live on NewsNation, also available in video format here. Jesse’s questions are marked with JW and my answers with AL.

JW: It’s a big universe out there. Some scientists say it is infinitely large. So, with so much possibility, why haven’t any of our neighbors said hi yet? By neighbors, I, of course, mean extraterrestrials. The fact that none of them have decided to introduce themselves is very rude, at least to our knowledge. This is something that has puzzled scientists since the 1950s. I am talking about Nobel Prize laureate, Enrico Fermi, one of the fathers of the atomic bomb, who — given the number of possible planets and given the probability of those planets developing intelligent life, he theorized that Earth should have been visited by aliens with advanced technology not once, but several times over. So, this gap between the likelihood of advanced alien civilizations existing, and the fact that we haven’t been contacted yet, is what’s now called Fermi’s paradox.

And there have been several theoretical solutions to this paradox. One says that aliens are talking, we just don’t have the proper technology to hear them. For example, they could be using gravitational waves. There’s also the theory that other civilizations may be too young to have the ability to travel or communicate between the stars, that some of them are advanced enough that they may have been stripped of their interstellar capabilities by war or disaster.

But what about all the footage of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs or UFOs), as they’re also called? Well, another theory suggests that maybe because we are in this interstellar zoo, all these UAPs are just aliens on some sort of space safari. They are just not communicating with us.

So, there are a lot of proposed solutions to Fermi’s paradox. Who better to help us find the science fact and the science fiction than the Frank B. Baird Jr professor of science at Harvard University and leader of the UAP Science Advisory Council, Avi Loeb.

Avi, good to see you. Which theory do you like?

AL: Thanks for having me. The theory I like the most in answer to Enrico Fermi’s question: where is everybody?” is: “They are here. It’s just that we haven’t realized that.”

The reason is obvious. We had only one century of modern science since the discovery

of quantum mechanics. Most stars are billions of years older than the Sun. They had plenty of time to develop science and technology well beyond our understanding. We recognize

that 95 percent of the mass budget of the universe is unknown to us. We are really ignorant about most of the constituents of the Universe, including technologies that are well beyond what we have.

Just imagine a cave dweller finding a cell phone. The cave dweller would look at the cell phone and say: “well, that’s a rock of a type that I’ve never seen before.” We have a lot to learn. We should be humble, and we should be looking out to find the evidence.

And guess what? The U.S. government is telling us they see things they don’t understand. In fact, on Monday, August 31st, 2026, I had the first in-person meeting of the UAP Science Advisory Council that I’m leading (https://uapsac.com/) at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. And I can tell you, first of all, that the government has some data that they don’t fully understand. Secondly, they are very interested in figuring them out using the scientific method. And it’s not obvious at all, based on what they know that we are definitely dealing with only human-made technologies.

JW: So let me ask you this. Is there a plan in place to try to communicate with these things? Do we know that there is a communication system and we just don’t have the ability to know what that is or appreciate what it is, namely we don’t have the technology?

AL: It’s work in progress. We imagine technologies that we possess right now. It started with radio communication back in 1960 until now with SETI observers trying to

find extraterrestrial radio communication signals. They did not see any so far.

I just co-authored this week a paper with James Guillochon, described here, that if they have something far more ambitious than Elon Musk’s vision of going from Earth to Mars, namely if they have a cargo transportation system between habitable planets within their planetary system, we might see flashes of light from the beamer of a light sail

Technology that we can imagine. We don’t have such a system as of yet, but they may have it.

In addition, they may also use for transportation a warp drive. That’s a bubble of distorted space-time that allows one to carry a cargo at an arbitrary speed across interstellar distances. And I just co-authored a paper, described here, a couple of weeks ago with Shaun Fell, where we showed that if a warp bubble passes through the Earth’s atmosphere, it would cause a disturbance and produce a glowing ball of air. In fact, there are reports in the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (https://www.war.gov/ufo/) from the U.S. government, including excellent work by the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in the Pentagon, about orbs. These are mysterious glowing spheres that they appear to be seeing and the FBI and other government agencies are reporting about. It’s not at all clear what some of these orbs are. Some of them might be drones but others are definitely not drones. And so it’s a detective story for us to figure out what technology might be employed if these orbs came from outer space.

I would argue we should look at it as a way for us to learn about new technologies rather than take the approach adopted by experts, as if we already know most of physics and don’t see anything new.

JW: Well, listen. If this interstellar level of transport and delivery is a real thing, forget Amazon. Amazon can’t compete with that.

Avi Loeb, this would be a conversation for another day. Great work, by the way. Thanks. Keep it up. I’m so happy the U.S. government has you. It’s really good stuff that you’re doing. Thank you so much.
