There Might Not Be A Fermi Paradox

If claims from whistleblowers and government officials are true, there never was a paradox.

The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for, or contact with, such civilizations. Some have suggested that the paradox can be resolved by the assumption that advanced civilizations self-destruct or that they are too far away to be detected. However, recent events have cast doubt on these explanations.

A whistleblower named David Grusch has recently come forward and claimed that the U.S. government has retrieved several non-human crafts. His claims have been corroborated by an intelligence official named Jonathan Grey, who confirmed the existence of “exotic material” being in the possession of governments and private contractors. Other high-ranking officials have come forward as well and Florida senator, Marco Rubio, has spoken out.

If these claims are true, it would suggest that the Fermi Paradox is not a paradox at all, but rather a result of our limited knowledge and information. It would mean there never was a paradox and that advanced civilizations do exist, always have existed, and that we have already made contact with them. It would also suggest that the evidence has been hidden from us by our own governments.

It may also suggest that extraterrestrial civilizations have been instructed by someone, or by something, to avoid revealing themselves to the rest of us.

This revelation would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and our place in it. It would mean that we are not alone and that there are, in fact, other intelligent civilizations out there. It would also raise questions about our future interactions with them.

These claims by Grey and Grusch have the potential to resolve the Fermi Paradox and to change our understanding of the universe. It is, however, important to call for further investigations to confirm the claims and to understand the implications of this potential truth.

Other Allegations And Encounters

Two of the most well-known and debated alien encounters in history are the Roswell incident and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case.

The Roswell incident occurred in 1947, when an object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The U.S. government initially reported that the object was a weather balloon, but later claimed it was a top-secret experimental military balloon. However, many people believe that the object was actually an extraterrestrial spacecraft that was covered up by the government. The incident has been the subject of much speculation and debate, with some claiming that the government is hiding evidence of an alien landing—as well as alien bodies.

The Betty and Barney Hill abduction case is another well-known alien encounter that occurred in 1961. The couple reported being abducted by extraterrestrial beings while driving through New Hampshire. They described being taken aboard a UFO and subjected to medical examinations. The incident has been investigated by ufologists and has been the subject of considerable debate and speculation. Some have suggested that the couple's experience was a genuine alien abduction, while others have suggested that it was a hoax or a misinterpretation of natural phenomena.

Both of these incidents have been the subject of debate, with some believing that they are evidence of extraterrestrial life and others suggesting that they're hoaxes or misinterpretations. The truth of these incidents may never be known for certain, but they continue to be a topic of interest for those who believe in the possibility of alien life.

Former Canadian Defence Minister, Paul Hellyer, was an outspoken advocate for the existence of extraterrestrial life. He made bold and controversial statements regarding the presence of aliens on Earth and their interactions with humanity. According to Hellyer, various alien species have been visiting our planet for years, engaging in clandestine activities and influencing global affairs. He called for greater transparency from governments and the disclosure of classified information concerning extraterrestrial contact. Hellyer's views sparked intense debate among skeptics and believers alike, but his unwavering conviction in the existence of aliens has undoubtedly made him a prominent, late figure in the field of ufology.

If the latest whistleblower allegations are true, it would corroborate much of what Hellyer has claimed.

In 2020, Israel's former chief of security, Haim Eshed, made the claim that aliens are not only among us, but are waiting for us to join their “galactic federation”. According to Eshed, humanity simply isn't ready for the disclosure of other civilizations, but Donald Trump was on the verge of doing just that—before he was instructed not to in order to prevent mass hysteria.

“There is an agreement between the U.S. government and the aliens,” Eshed said, “They signed a contract with us to do experiments here.”

Real Video Evidence

Three years ago, the Pentagon declassified a series of reports and videos from U.S. airforce pilots showing disk-shaped craft travelling at remarkable speeds. The most popular video captures the reactions of pilots as they observe the disk flying at high speeds against the wind. Just recently, a Columbian model captured a similarly shaped craft flying past her private plane in what has been called the "most compelling" UFO footage to date. You can watch that video here. 

In another video, a craft is captured disappearing into the ocean.

In June 2023, NASA and the Pentagon acknowledged the existence of mysterious metallic orbs, some that have been caught on U.S. drone surveillance. These orbs have been referred to as the most commonly reported. One such orb was captured by a U.S. surveillance drone in the Middle East and can be seen here. 

To date, there has not been any verifiable video evidence of physical, biological alien humanoids or entities like the ones described most commonly by witnesses.

The Odds

Estimating the mathematical odds of the existence of other intelligent civilizations in our galaxy is a challenging task due to various uncertainties and unknown factors. However, scientists have attempted to approach this question using a concept known as the Drake Equation. The Drake Equation is a formula developed by astrophysicist Frank Drake in 1961 to estimate the number of detectable civilizations in our galaxy. It considers several factors, such as the rate of star formation, the fraction of stars with planets, the number of habitable planets, and the likelihood of life evolving on those planets.

One of the key factors in the Drake Equation is the fraction of stars with planets orbiting around them. Based on observations from the Kepler space telescope and other studies, astronomers have found that planets are common in our galaxy. It is estimated that there are billions of stars in the Milky Way and that a significant portion of them are likely to have planets in their habitable zones—regions where conditions might be suitable for life as we know it.

The Milky Way galaxy contains approximately 100 to 400 billion stars. Let's assume a conservative estimate of 200 billion stars. Studies suggest that a significant portion of stars have planets. Let's conservatively assume that 20% of stars have planets. Among the planets orbiting stars, not all will be within the habitable zone where conditions might support life. Let's assume that 10% of the planets are within the habitable zone. Let's then assume a very conservative probability of 1 in 1,000 for life to emerge on any of these habitable planets.

Finally, let's assume a probability of 1 in 1,000 for intelligent life to evolve on these planet.

Mashing those numbers into a hypothetical calculation, based on the most conservative assumptions, there could be approximately 4,000 potentially intelligent civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. However, it is important to note that these numbers are purely speculative and should be interpreted with caution, as the actual values for the factors involved are highly uncertain and subject to ongoing scientific research and discovery.

Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical surveys, scientists estimate that there are around 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

The Consequences

If any of this is true and the disclosure of aliens visiting Earth for centuries were made public, it would undoubtedly have a profound impact on society. Initially, there would likely be widespread shock and disbelief as people grapple with the enormity of the revelation. Trust in governments and institutions might be shaken due to the perceived secrecy surrounding this knowledge. The disclosure could also have significant societal, cultural, and religious implications. It may challenge long-held beliefs and ideologies, leading to a reevaluation of our place in the universe and our understanding of the divine.

On the positive side, the knowledge of alien visitation could create a sense of unity among humans, as we realize that we are not alone in the cosmos. It could spur scientific advancements as we seek to understand and communicate with these extraterrestrial beings. Ultimately, the disclosure would be a turning point in human history, reshaping our worldviews and challenging us to adapt to a new reality.

The potential that governments have kept the knowledge of aliens visiting Earth a secret to maintain their power is a thought-provoking aspect to consider. Governments, driven by a desire to maintain stability and control, might have chosen to withhold this information to prevent panic, social unrest, or the loss of their authority. If this information were disclosed, it could indeed challenge the authority and control held by governments and religious institutions. The revelation of a higher intelligence, capable of advanced technology and knowledge, would disrupt the existing power structures and hierarchies in society.

If aliens have been here all along, secretly communicating with our leaders and crashing their crafts on our planet, there would have never been a Fermi Paradox at all.
