NASA boss Bill Nelson raised eyebrows when he made some comments about possible connections between military sightings of unidentified flying object and the search for alien species.
I've spoken to these pilots, and they knew they saw something. Their radars picked it up, Nelson explained to the crowd at the university. This is where he received his law degree. They don't know what it is. We don't know what it is. We hope it is not an enemy here on Earth with that type of technology.
This is an interesting analysis all by itself. Look at what he said next. He started directly speculating on the search for life beyond Earth.
Nelson said that it was something. This is why we are constantly asking, "Who is out there?" How did we get to this point? What is the secret to our success? How did we get here? How did we become civilized? Are those conditions possible in a universe with billions of suns and billions more galaxies than ours?

Nelson went so far as to suggest that alien civilizations might be possible in a parallel universe.
Nelson said that there may be other universes. If that's true, then who am I to claim that planet Earth is the only place that has a civilized life form organized and structured like ours?
Nelson doesn't claim to know anything and most likely was having fun at a public appearance. Nelson is not the first to suggest that alien life exists.
It is worth noting that Nelson's freewheeling style contrasts with Steve Jurczyk's, his immediate predecessor. Jurczyk was more reserved and focused on the subject. This is the interview he did earlier this year with Futurism:

It's, uh... hard to say. He laughed when we asked him about his search for alien life. You know that part of the Mars mission was to search for signs of past life and we were finding planets around other stars. We want to direct image exoplanets and planets around stars with Kepler, eventually the James Webb Space Telescope, and other missions. We are advancing our knowledge.
He said that so far there have been no aliens.
