There are many people out there who swear that we are close to discovering extraterrestrial life, but that authorities are hiding everything from us. That’s a classic conspiracy theory, right? But not everyone believes in it.

Elon Musk is one of the most vocal skeptics about the topic. He commented on Twitter that, honestly, there’s no solid evidence that aliens have visited Earth. And those UFO videos on YouTube? According to him, they’re all very blurry and unconvincing.

The point that Elon Musk raises is pretty logical: practically everyone on Earth has a smartphone with a decent camera in their hand. If extraterrestrials were really visiting us, shouldn’t there be much more high-quality footage? But that’s not what happens. The videos that show up seem intentionally made in low quality, as if someone didn’t want us to see anything clearly.

There’s another point, too: the distances between planetary systems are absurd. It would be practically impossible for an alien spaceship to reach here with a living crew, considering what we know about physics.

Edward Snowden, that government informant who had access to information from the CIA, NSA, and the military, spoke with Joe Rogan in 2019 and admitted that even with all that privileged access, he found nothing convincing that would prove the presence of extraterrestrials here. But he also didn’t rule it out completely—he said that “there’s probably something inexplicable” out there.

What’s interesting is that the Pentágono released some documents and videos showing pilots’ encounters with OVNIs, and the agency even acknowledged that these objects have an extraterrestrial origin. Like, there’s this strange contradiction there.

But astronomers have studied millions of stars looking for signs of extraterrestrial life and found nothing. It’s curious how Elon Musk and other scientific minds keep this skeptical stance while the rest of the conversation goes in circles. I mean, the lack of evidence is pretty convincing when you think about it rationally.
