Director of the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) – Dmitry Rogozin believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life, and believes that aliens may be studying humans the way humans study bacteria.
In an interview with Rossiya 24 television station (Russia), Mr. Rogozin said that thousands of factors may have contributed to the appearance of life anywhere in the universe, while space research capabilities of Humanity is still limited.
“We know about the ‘Big Bang’ hypothesis, but what if this ‘Big Bang’ only happened in a certain part of the universe that we can see?”, Director Governor Roscosmos asked. “There may be other worlds. There are countless factors that could contribute to the emergence of life.”
According to Mr. Rogozin, the Russian Academy of Sciences is still conducting research and collecting data related to extraterrestrial life, specifically UFOs (unidentified flying objects). Although 99.9% of the cases considered by Russian experts were in fact “atmospheric and other physical phenomena” unrelated to intelligent extraterrestrial life.
“We still assume that real UFO encounters may have occurred,” Mr. Rogozin added. He himself also studied some reports of pilots from the Soviet era. These people reported many unexplained phenomena they witnessed while testing new aircraft. In addition, Mr. Rogozin also contacted the US space agency NASA and received similar information.
“We may be objects being observed from the outside. Our technologies and understanding of science may not be enough to perceive it.
It is possible that there are extraterrestrial life forms that have developed to a high enough level of technology to allow them to study human civilization and our planet, just as humans are doing with other species. on the earth.
We can study bacteria, but we can also be studied by them as we study bacteria.”
The Russian official’s comments come amid ongoing public discussions about UFOs in the US – where UFO encounters have increased significantly since 2017.
At that time, it was reported that the Pentagon was operating a project called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), whose mission was to identify “aerial phenomena”. identify” UAP (also known as unidentified flying objects UFO).
In May, the US Congress held the first public hearing on UAP since the 1970s. Those who testified before the House Intelligence Committee during the hearing included Deputy Secretary of Defense Ronald Moultrie in charge of the UAP. intelligence and security, and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray.
Officials showed several videos showing what are believed to be UAPs but did not provide specific explanations about the objects seen in the videos. They also said that the US military did not attempt to make contact with any of the objects because it was unclear whether they were manned or even “in controlled flight”.
