Its official, there is no 'Area 51'. No back engineering of alien spacecraft. No 'Greys' (aka 'Zetas') are buzzing the planet, in fact, 'No E.T.'s' full stop! The 'Xenu' never brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling 'Douglas DC-8 airliners', the 'Reptilians' haven't scuttled across our lands, and the 'Space Brothers' (aka 'Nordic Aliens') will likely never visit Earth.

And the reason I know this to be true?
Well the White House has issued an official statement
in which it formally denied that it has any knowledge of contact with
extraterrestrial life. It did so after more than 5,000 signatories
signed each of the two petitions on the White House 'We The People website', which promises to address any petitions that get more than that number of signatures. In
fact more than 17,000 citizens joined the two petitions on this
subject, so they have now changed the figure to 25,000 signatures, but
this still compares well with the 100,000 signatures required in the UK
before the Parliament discusses, then instantly dismisses the UK
citizens concerns.
The exact response was:
"The US government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye".
Anyway, so far, so party line ..... but the statement authored by Phil Larson of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, then added that;
"Many scientists and mathematicians have looked... at the question of whether life likely exists beyond Earth, and have come to the conclusion that the odds are pretty high that somewhere among the trillions and trillions of stars in the Universe there is a planet other than ours that is home to life. Many have also noted, however, that the odds of us making contact with any of them - especially any intelligent ones - are extremely small, given the distances involved."
Now I wonder what the fundamentalist Christians, who often push the disingenuous "Intelligent Design" theory (that proposes only we exist in a universe created by he who can't be named), think of this? They are a powerful lobby in the Mid West and Southern States come election time, and who are usually no friend to any politician who suggests that intelligent life exists outside of the Earth.
Anyway, whatever the politics of the statement, its still a pity ... many of my schoolboy daydreams are now lying shattered on the rocks of reality.
