Ex-NASA astronaut Bill Nelson believes we are not alone in the universe after UFO report revelations
A FORMER NASA astronaut believes humans are not alone in the universe and "there's something out there" after reading the conclusions of the US Government's highly-anticipated UFO report.
The nine-page dossier confirmed flying objects may be a but also couldn’t rule out .
Former astronaut Bill Nelson believes humans "are not alone” after reading a classified version of the report.
He told Monday: "I’ve seen the classified report. It says basically what we thought.
"We don’t know the answer to what those Navy pilots saw, they know that they saw something, they tracked it, they locked their radar onto it, they followed it, it would suddenly move quickly from one location to another."
The former thinks another life exists in the galaxy, The reports.
Nelson, who is now NASA administrator, said: ";My feeling is that there is clearly something there. It may not be extraterrestrial but if it is a technology that some of our adversaries have, then we better be concerned.”
Skeptics within the UFO debate think sightings can be explained by hypersonic drones sent by countries such as or , but Nelson appears unconvinced.
He said: “We don’t think so (that it's an adversary) but when it comes to the universe, remember the universe is so large, we have a program in NASA called the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.
"But, thus far we don’t have any receipt communication from something that’s intelligent."
Nelson's comments come after the report was released on Friday.
The report investigated 144 sightings of “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAPs) but officials could only identify one incident with high confidence -a large deflating balloon.
The newly released report said the unexplained aerial sightings could be or Russia — or a "non-government" terror group.
Former MOD official previously told the Sun: “Whether it's Russia sending drones dangerously close to aircraft carriers or whether it really is something from further away, it is a defense and national security issue and you can’t just dismiss it.”
The report resulted from alien visitors - despite concluding no evidence was found.
Enthusiast Gregory Monaghan, of , branded the a “shambolic waste” of taxpayer’s money.
He told : “I expected no less. It is a shambolic waste of taxpayer money.”
But, , who headed the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, branded the findings "historic" but acknowledged there's more that's being hidden.
He told : "The government has formally and officially come out and informed Congress that these things are – A, they’re real – and two, that they’re not ours and that they seem to be performing, at least some of them … in remarkable ways."
Elizondo claimed the majority of UAP aren’t reported in the military and said the tally recorded was small.
He said there’s “stigma” surrounding the topic of UAPs – so “one can surmise there's actually a lot more than just 144 incidents involving the Navy.”
Former Navy pilot Kevin Day, who reportedly saw the infamous Tic-Tac shaped, UAP as he claimed he was “mocked and ridiculed” by government officials.
