A future extraterrestrial invasion would be "game over" for Earth as the super-predator technology aliens would possess could “wipe out life in a heartbeat”, a UFO expert warns.

Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the British Government, warned that humans are likely to encounter aliens that are millions or billions of years ahead.

He told The Sun that the technology gap between the two species would be “unimaginable”.

Pope added: “When European explorers encountered Native Americans, it was guns and horses against bows and arrows.

“If we face an alien invasion, it would be stealth fighters against bows and arrows, and even that is understating the technology that they would have.

“Their technology would be indistinguishable from magic. It’s almost unimaginable.

“The weapons that an alien civilization may have could wipe out life in a heartbeat.

Pope speculated that there could be up to trillions of various civilizations out there, warning that some may be friendly or hostile.
