Relax, It Is Never Space Aliens

There’s enormous media pressure to publish whenever anything alien comes out. Yet the best explanation of the phenomena is never aliens. Two recent stories prove it.

The press has massively overhyped two recent stories about the supposed discovery of alien life.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover found organic molecules and intriguing geological formations that could indicate the Red Planet may have supported life 3 billion years ago when the planet was wetter. This resembles what scientists speculate Earth may have looked like at roughly the same time period, setting off intense scrutiny and a year-long review recently published in Nature. At the same time, major media outlets have been actively reporting that a U.S. “Hellfire” missile struck a UFO off the coast of Yemen — CBS News even supposedly had video — following a House Oversight Committee hearing.
