Thousands of factors could have
contributed to the emergence of life anywhere in the universe, Rogozin said,
adding that humanity’s ability to study space remains limited. “We know
the ‘Big Bang’ theory but what if this ‘Big Bang’ took place only within a
certain part of the universe that is visible to us?” the Roscosmos
chief asked, adding that “there might be other worlds … as well as
innumerable factors that could contribute to the emergence of life, including
an intelligent one.”
The Russian Academy of Sciences has been
conducting studies and “collecting facts” related to
extraterrestrial life and UFOs, in particular, Rogozin stated, adding, though,
that 99.9% of all such cases reviewed by the Russian specialists have turned
out to be “atmospheric and other physical phenomena” that have
nothing to do with any extraterrestrial intelligent life hypotheses.
“We still assume that such [real UFO]
sightings might have taken place,” he added. Rogozin also said that he has
personally looked at some reports by Soviet test-pilot veterans who reported
unexplained phenomena that they witnessed while testing new aircraft for the
first time.
“What we’re talking about usually took
place during the first test fights,” the Roscosmos chief said, adding that he had
previously contacted the US space agency NASA and received similar information.
There
might be life forms out there that have advanced to a technological level that
allowed them to study the human civilization and our planet itself just like
humans do with other species here on Earth, Rogozin posited.
“We can
study bacteria, but we can also be studied just like bacteria,” he
added.
His
comments came amid the ongoing public discussion of UFOs in the US, where
sightings have increased since 2017. At that time, it was revealed that the
Pentagon had a project known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification
Program (AATIP), which was tasked with identifying what was called
'unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP (also commonly known as unidentified
flying objects, or UFOs).
In May,
the US Congress held its first public hearing on UAPs since the 1970s. Those
testifying before the House Intelligence Committee during the hearing included
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie and
Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray.
The
officials presented several videos showing what has been deemed UAPs but
provided no specific explanations about the objects seen in the videos. They
also said that the US military has not attempted to contact any of the objects
observed since it was unclear if they were manned or even “in
controlled flight.” Nor did they discharge any weapons targeting any
of the UAPs, Bray confirmed.
