Whether you believe we are being visited by alien travelers from distant galaxies, or are simply amused by the thought that these Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) have traveled unthinkable distances just to play hide and seek with Earth’s easily startled inhabitants, there is no doubt that the subject is still raging in interest and debate.
While Capitol Hill hosted a hearing last month where whistleblowers and witnesses adamantly stated that the government is withholding information about alien intelligence from the public, true believers and skeptics alike are expressing their views in no uncertain terms.
“Star Trek” hero William Shatner certainly had something to say about all the buzz surrounding the recent Congressional hearings during a interview with NewsNationwhere the legendary actor, author and director gave his opinion on these unexplained aerial events.
“You mean a highly intelligent creature with advanced technology travels 10,000 light years, arrives here and hides?” Shatner told NewsNation host Elizabeth Vargas. “It doesn’t make any sense. If they’re going to make that trip all the way here, it just defies the imagination that they’d hide and make it from, ‘Peek-a-boo, I’m here, no I’m here.’ not.'”

One factor leading to these controversial hearings in Washington DC was that a former Air Force officer and intelligence officer named David Grusch went viral with his insistence that our government is deliberately concealing evidence of non-human intelligence and must come out with the classified information.
While Shatner believes in the likelihood of life elsewhere in the universe and has been part of previous explorations on the subject of UFOs for entertainment purposes in the form of documentaries such as “A Tear in the Sky,” he places a great deal of disbelief and applies common sense in determining dissecting the idea that these “sightings” are actually advanced craft from other solar systems.
“I mean, what would we like more than to realize that there are other life forms in the universe that have the same desires,” Shatner added. ‘What is the universe about? What is after death? I mean, the monumental questions would abound, and they would ask the same questions, but they’re not here. If they were there, they would make their presence known.’
