Elon Musk sends a clear message to the UFO community…
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has been vocal about aliens and sharing his thoughts on the recent UFO shootings by the US military . He appeared virtually at the 2023 World Government Summit in Dubai, discussing a range of topics including the current state of Tesla and Twitter, as well as the potential existence of extraterrestrial life .
The session was moderated by Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi, UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs, who mentioned recent incidents of the US military shooting down unidentified flying objects ( UFOs ) and posed the question to Mr. Musk, who was asked: “I don’t think they’re aliens, no.”
He described the question as intriguing before offering a detailed answer. His response revolved around the notion that if the universe is indeed as old as scientific research suggests, then the lack of extraterrestrial life forms is puzzling. Given that the universe has existed for about 13.8 billion years, it stands to reason that aliens should be abundant.
He further stated that during his research into space technology, he had not seen any indicators of extraterrestrial existence, traces of extraterrestrial machinery , or any form of extraterrestrial life . “And I think I would know. You know, SpaceX… I don’t think anyone knows more about space than I do or at least about space technology,” Musk said.
That said, he also added that the absence of alien life in the universe “is actually a worrying thing.” He further stated, “What this could really mean is that civilization is like a small candle in the vast darkness. And a very vulnerable small candle that could easily go out.”
He continued: “And I think we must therefore take great care of what may well be this little candle in the vast darkness, and ensure that it does not go out, and that we extend the light of consciousness beyond the Earth, and do everything we can to ensure that the light of consciousness does not go out.”
A Twitter user with the name DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) posted a doctored photo of Musk and a Tesla robot model on February 13, 2023. The tweet reads, “What if @elonmusk is an alien and the Optimus bots are the alien invasion?” Musk replied , “Hopefully one day we’ll be the aliens visiting other worlds.”
Previously, Musk tweeted: “Don’t worry, just some of my friends passing by…” It was speculated that this was in response to the US recently shooting down several unidentified objects in North American airspace.
On November 14, 2022, Musk addressed business leaders in Bali on the sidelines of the G20 summit . He offered a vision for the future that includes aliens, deep tunnels, and rocket tourism. “Maybe we’ll encounter alien civilizations or discover civilizations that existed millions of years ago,” he said.
In 2022, Elon Musk shared his belief that either there are numerous aliens from other planets or there are none. He finds the idea of both scenarios equally terrifying. The SpaceX CEO elaborated on his reasoning, citing the Fermi Paradox that questions the existence of extraterrestrial life and pondering why they have not yet made contact with humans. Musk stated that if there are no aliens, then what humans have on Earth is extremely rare.
During an interview, Elon Musk stated that he has never found concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life. When asked about his stance on UFOs, he suggested that they may be linked to classified military projects. Furthermore, Musk shared that even if a member of the military witnessed a UFO, they would not be informed about it.
Musk went on to say that if aliens ever visited our planet, it would spell disaster for humanity. He argued that if they possessed the technology to travel to Earth, then they must have superior knowledge and capabilities. So “ we are at their mercy ,” he said.
“If they have spaceships that can come from other star systems to here, we don’t have anything like that. Basically, we’re desperate. We’d just be like kids or something,” Musk added.
SpaceX UFO sightings
Space enthusiasts keep a close eye on footage of rocket launches, and there have been several instances where spacecraft operated by SpaceX have encountered enigmatic objects. These sightings have sparked speculation about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Cameras owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX have captured massive, unexplained objects during its space missions.
During one of the Starlink satellite launches, people observing the incredible achievement noticed something peculiar in the background. To most who observed the object, it appeared to be a large cigar. It was apparently flying alongside the rocket. This is not the first time that one of SpaceX’s numerous cameras has spotted a possible unidentified flying object. Almost every time the corporation launches a rocket into space, strange and out-of-place objects are seen in the images.
At 5:49 a.m. local time on April 23, 2021, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft successfully launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch went smoothly, but en route to the International Space Station, the four-person crew became concerned after being informed of the possibility of a collision with an unknown object.
“The NASA/SpaceX team was informed of the possible conjunction by U.S. Space Command ,” NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries told Futurism. “The object being tracked is classified as ‘unknown.’” According to Humphries, there was no time to perform an evasive maneuver to get out of the object’s path before it arrived. In the event of a collision, SpaceX recommended that the astronauts don their pressure suits as a precaution.
“The conjunction possibility came so close to the time of closest approach that there was no time to calculate and execute a maneuver to avoid debris with confidence, so the SpaceX team opted to have the crew don their pressure suits out of an abundance of caution,” Humphries said. He noted that the object came within 45 kilometers of the spacecraft during its closest approach. That distance is relatively small compared to the entirety of space, but it is close enough to cause alarm.
A few days later, the New York Post reported that a spokesperson for NASA’s Johnson Space Center said the warning of a possible collision was actually based on a false report. “After further review, Space Control determined that the potential conjunction between the Crew-2 capsule and the object was a false report. There was never a threat of collision to the Crew-Dragon, and the astronauts continued their mission safely,” NASA spokeswoman Kelly Humphries told the Post.
Around the time the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket exploded during a test firing in 2016, some UFO enthusiasts who examined the footage spotted a mysterious flying object very close to it. The best footage of the rocket explosion was provided by a non-profit video production company called “US Launch Report.” They captured the event with a zoom lens from a safe distance.
It was uploaded to YouTube on September 1, 2016, and immediately caught the attention of alien enthusiasts. Clearly, the flying object in the video was real. If the video is slowed down, a black object can be seen flying across the frame, from the right side towards the rocket. Some people have suggested that the object was some kind of alien object or perhaps a drone strike, while others taking a more realistic approach have pointed out that it was likely a bird, a flying insect, a frisbee, or even a distant plane.
Mike Wagner, a US-based launch report producer, tweeted about the object and said of the “SpaceX anomaly, apparently all UFO people have never seen a bird.” It’s actually a more plausible theory, as after rewatching the video several times, many people also admitted that the alleged UFO appeared before and after the explosion and many were able to count several other flying objects in the distance that were likely birds.
NASA captured images of a cigar-shaped anomaly before SpaceX. In 2016, UFO enthusiasts witnessed another strange craft near the International Space Station. Many claimed that this long, cylindrical alien craft had visited Earth before. UFO hunter Scott C. Waring spotted the object in NASA images of the space station. He was also the one who noted that the object bore a striking resemblance to a supposed craft spotted in 2006 near the space shuttle Atlantis.
Like most UFO sightings, the object he spotted has no rational explanation. Scott is convinced that aliens are visiting our solar system. He said: “As I watched, I noticed a long cylindrical object floating next to and below the space station. Its speed matched that of the ISS, but the object was semi-transparent.” Unfortunately for him, the screen turned blue just as he thought it was about to come into focus.
According to him, NASA cuts the feed when it captures a UFO on video. He added that the cigar-shaped object reminded him of the cylindrical UFO and orbs reported near Atlantis in 2006. However, 5 to 10 gray metal orbs followed it and did not appear that time.
