My New Theory About UFOs

The subject of UFOs took centerstage in our nation's capital this week at a Congressional hearing where one witness said not only does our government possess downed alien aircraft, but also has recovered the bodies of alien pilots. He also testified of a super-secret program to reverse engineer alien technology that's been going on since the 1930s.

Now that's a lot to unpack.

The whistleblower -- David Grusch, a former intelligence officer in the Air Force and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency for 14 years -- has credentials to make such claims. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any hard evidence that could collaborate his story.

Do I want to believe him? As a longtime fan of "Ancient Aliens" and the whole UFO phenomenon, sure I do. In fact, I hope it is true, and aliens really have been visiting us for thousands of years, serving, for lack of a better term, as our "cosmic caretakers."

And that brings me to my own "conspiracy theory," of sorts. Consider this:

When the New York Times published those Navy videos of unexplained UAPs (Unidentified Arieal Phenonmena) interacting with our jets in 2017, it propelled UFOs into the mainstream like nothing else, giving it a new credibility at the same time.

In 2021, the Pew Research Center reported: "As an unprecedented U.S. intelligence report brings new attention to the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects, about two-thirds of Americans (65%) say their best guess is that intelligent life exists on other planets."

Could it be it's all part of a grand plan to "condition" the human race to the reality that other lifeforms do exist and yes, they are among us.

And why now? Maybe, just maybe, the answer is two words: Climate change.

If our planet really is facing a Doomsday scenario in the next 25-100 years, and we have already passed the tipping point, the time could be right for some do-gooder aliens (we hope they are) to come to our rescue. At least, that's my theory.

Over 50 years ago, the brilliant Rod Sterling landed on the same idea in his "The Twilight Zone" episode, "To Serve Man." Except in that case, the outcome was decidedly darker. Take a look in this clip:

 Since we don't know what we don't know, it's anybody's guess what the real truth is. But if it comes down to saving the planet, let's don't rule anything out.
