Last year, US Congress held public hearings on UFOs, which had many people excited about the prospect that the government could be hoarding evidence of extraterrestrial life. However, the CEO of the SETI Institute, a non-profit research group dedicated to finding and understanding life beyond Earth, has dashed those hopes. In an interview with Space.com, SETI president and CEO Bill Diamond revealed that there is no evidence of alien technology, disappointing UFO enthusiasts.

Diamond emphasized that there is no credible evidence to indicate the presence of alien technology in our skies. He also dismissed the notion that the government is keeping such information under wraps, stating that there is no motivation to do so. Despite the lack of evidence, Diamond sounded optimistic about the search for habitable exoplanets beyond our solar system.

According to Diamond, statistics show that many stars have planets orbiting them, with a significant number of these planets existing in the habitable zone and bearing similarities to Earth. This suggests there are potentially tens of billions of habitable worlds in our galaxy alone. So, while the existence of extraterrestrial life seems probable, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.

Despite a recent Pentagon report finding no evidence of intelligent interstellar life visiting Earth, the enthusiasm for finding aliens remains strong. Some lawmakers, like Rep. Tim Burchett, have accused the federal government of covering up evidence of aliens. However, experts like Diamond maintain that there is no substantial evidence to support these claims. The search for extraterrestrial life continues, fueled by optimism and curiosity about what lies beyond our planet.
