On February 22nd, 2017 NASA held a press conference to reveal they had found 7 exoplanets around a ‘cool star,’ and that some of those planets could be habitable. Following this announcement, NASA held an AMA on Reddit for the public to ask questions.
When we heard of this announcement we were excited about the opportunity to not only hear what NASA was going to share, but also about the chance to ask an important question during the AMA. We felt our question, at the very least, would tell us what the public was thinking about the subject, and hopefully perhaps get a response back from NASA.
We got our cameras ready, went live on Facebook during the press conference and then joined in the AMA when it came time. Up to this point NASA made no mention of alien life but they were mentioning that looking for signs of organic life was a priority on these new exoplanets.
Now to be clear, doing the work we do here at CE, we know through years of researching and speaking with insiders that NASA has been upholding a veil of secrecy around the subject of alien life for quite some time and that it wasn’t likely they would say anything beyond the very ‘public safe’ statements they made. In fact, NASA isn’t even at the top of the food chain when it comes to security clearance and what’s known about ET happenings in our solar system. It’s very likely that the people on the exoplanet panel didn’t know much, if anything, about ET life at all. However we thought we’d respectfully try to push the envelope.
