Aliens will crush humans in a terrifying war of the worlds and could “crack this planet like a nut”, according to a UFO expert.
Nick Pope, who has investigated UFOs for the Department of Defense, says humans will be grilled if aliens invade us because their weapons will likely be billions of years ahead of ours.
According to him, science fiction films in which humans defeat hordes of little green men are not realistic, because their weapons are so advanced that they look like “magic”.
American spies released a bombshell UFO report earlier this month.
It concludes that 143 sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena by US Army pilots since 2004 remain unexplained, fueling fears of an alien invasion.
The report added, “UAPs clearly pose a flight safety concern and may pose a challenge to the national security of the United States. »
Despite this, the British government says it has no intention of launching its own investigation into UFOs and the threat they could pose to Britons.
But Mr Pope – nicknamed Britain’s ‘Fox Mulder’ after the X Files character – criticized “the idea that we could suddenly pull something out of the bag and defeat an alien invasion”.
He added: “To put it into context, the universe is nearly 14 billion years old, and there could be civilizations out there that are a billion or two years ahead of us.
“Now if you think about the difference in technology, think about how far we’ve come in the last two or three centuries, from horses and carts to ships crossing the ocean on the wind, we’re passed in a short time to stealth fighters, space probes and smartphones. »
He continues: “Now imagine this hypothetical civilization or rather these civilizations, look, the chances that there is only one other civilization in the universe are as small as the chances of being alone, there will be many people. »
“The chances of us encountering a civilization and it being 20/30 years ahead of us in terms of scientific understanding and technological advancement, that won’t be the case. »
“They will be, as I said, millions if not billions of years ahead of us and their technology will be indistinguishable from magic. »
“The fastest space probes we’ve ever built, if we had pointed them at the nearest star other than our own sun, it would have taken them 75,000 years to get there. »
“So if we get a visit, a civilization that has developed viable interstellar travel will be able to crack open this planet like a nut, if they want to. »
