I would bet heavily that there's intelligent life out there.

Have they interacted with our planet?

I would be...

I would say the odds of that are incredibly low.

You got a couple things working against you.

You can't really exceed the cosmic speed limit, which is the speed of light.

So when you think about the trillions of galaxies and all the stars and all the planets out there, the odds they would have found us and somehow been able to travel to at a time when our civilization was alive, you think of the industrial age that would give off

Um, clues of our existence just seem incredibly low.

So if I had to bet on the UFOs, I'd probably put my Draken hat on again and say, it's either our stuff or it's our adversaries that are checking in on us.

It's amazing, right?

Like if the aliens are going to visit, you could just, you could just have those flying Tic Tacs show up over New York city or somewhere else, but they all seem to be around our Naval bases and in Las Vegas area.

So I, I think that probably leads me to believe it's, it's something that's human created.

No, I mean, look, I don't want to be dismissive of people's beliefs or hopes or interests.

Because when I was nominated to lead NASA, I got a million emails from interested people all around the world, people in government, out of government, at NASA, not at NASA, with all sorts of ideas and theories that range from well-designed

thought-out, good-intended to crazy.

That's what space does to you.

Like, how can you not when you look out at, you know, you're laying on a field looking up at the stars, and how does it not make your mind just wander?

So I think that fuels a little bit of it.

The idea also, like...

We do have lots of like classified programs and our adversaries have lots of technology too that they don't advertise to try and figure out what we're doing that we don't advertise.
