A prominent astrophysicist has condemned reports of alien sightings in Earth's atmosphere, claiming that no biological life would survive the journey to our planet.
“It takes about a billion years to traverse the Milky Way from one side to the other.” Avi Loeb, astrophysicist at Harvard Universityhe said during an appearance on GB News this week. “If you think about it that way, I don't think spaceships arriving at us from other planets would be carrying life forms.”
Loeb's comments come as reports of UFO sightings have increased in recent years, with videos and photos of what appear to be alien craft circulating on the internet.
NASA also created a new position to oversee UFO research after a 2022 study determined that such sightings were unlikely to be caused by extraterrestrial life. This is also a result of this.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said of the study's results, “While NASA's independent research team found no evidence that UAPs are of extraterrestrial origin, we do not know what they are.'' Ta.
Loeb said such a result makes sense, noting that extraterrestrial life would have to survive extremely harsh conditions in space to reach Earth. Instead, Loeb said spacecraft of cosmic origin are likely the result of artificial intelligence.
“They would not survive a long journey through interstellar space where they are exposed to very high-energy particles,” Loeb said of biological organisms. “If they're autonomous, they're more likely to have an artificial brain, an artificial intelligence. … We've already developed it on Earth, we haven't launched it into space. But that would be the next step.”

“AI has the potential to enable space travel in both manned and unmanned vehicles by reducing costs and increasing safety,” Havens said. “The possibilities are truly endless, which makes the future of AI even more exciting.”
Samuel Mangold Rennett, staff editor at The Federalist, said AI could be used to help spacecraft survive the harsh conditions of space.
“If we use AI, [run] Complications occur in a short period of time. So, on the surface, AI could be used for charting courses, calculating ideal weight loads, and anything else related to space travel that requires complex mathematics,” said Mann. Gold-Lennett told FOX News Digital. In collaboration with medicine and agriculture, we are considering installing and operating systems that preserve and sustain life even in harsh or even unnatural environments. ”
Meanwhile, Loeb said the U.S. government should be more transparent about what it knows about UFOs to help scientists.

“The government monitors the skies for national security purposes,” Loeb said. [and] For example, astronomers observe small areas of the sky with very distant light sources. …If something flies overhead, astronomers ignore it. If something happens there, the government will be the first to notice. ”
Since they were the first to notice it, Loeb said the government should release such evidence to researchers who can help them better understand the often unexplained phenomenon.
“As a scientist, I respond to the evidence,” Loeb said. “That's what we're waiting for, for the government to make public what it knows. … That's very important to me because I'm trying to find the evidence myself, but if the government tells me a lot It will save you time.”
“Why should I spend decades of my life looking for something when the government already has something?”
