It’s all over the internet: David Grusch, a former US military personnel, apparently confirmed yesterday that extraterrestrial life exists and, furthermore, one of their ships collided with an American plane. What bad luck to travel light-years only to crash into an airplane. Of course, memes have spread like wildfire in a post-pandemic landscape where nothing, not even the confirmation of alien life, could excite or surprise us in the slightest.
There are no aliens here, really
The government, en masse, has come out to defend the official version: “Extraterrestrials? There’s no such thing, no evidence, etc.” It’s exactly what someone hiding alien life in their basement would say. “There is no verifiable information to corroborate claims of programs relat9ed to the possession of extraterrestrial materials,” commented the Department of Defense.
“No verifiable information” is the same as saying nothing: as long as materials are classified, there will always be rumors of alien life. Especially when someone comes forward in a trial and says, “Yes, they exist, the truth is out there. Privately, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the subject.” We find ourselves now in the realm of realistic science fiction, ‘Cuarto milenio,’ and the crazy Twitter thread – that’s exactly where we are.

It does seem like they are willing to clarify any alleged sightings, but only if those sightings have actually occurred. Wink, wink. And at the same time, they are keeping confidential documents hidden from the public’s eyes. It’s starting to feel like when a child tells you they haven’t eaten chocolate, but their whole mouth is covered in cocoa.
Is there extraterrestrial life, and are they lying from the Pentagon? Or is there none, and we are getting excited again for nothing? What’s happening now is unprecedented: there are senators requesting the declassification of documents to “avoid rumors.” For now, we can only imagine Mulder and Scully getting very nervous as they face a busy 2023 ahead.
