In the 0s, he worked as a pilot in the U.S. Navy and later joined NASA as an astronaut. Over the course of his career, he has flown on several space missions and witnessed many incredible sights firsthand. As a result, he is relatively open to the UFO phenomenon.
Nelson said there could be multiple explanations for the UFO phenomenon. First, some UFOs may be man-made, such as drones or other flying vehicles. These craft may be mistaken for extraterrestrial life forms in some cases. In addition, some UFOs may be natural phenomena, such as meteors, balloons, or other atmospheric phenomena. These phenomena can be mistaken for mysterious flying objects at certain angles and in light.
However, Nelson also points out that some UFO phenomena are really difficult to explain. He said he had seen flying objects in space that could not be explained by existing scientific knowledge. The speed, maneuverability, and shape of these objects are very different from what we know about flying machines. This led him to consider whether these UFOs could be evidence of extraterrestrial life.
Nelson argues that we cannot rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The universe is so large that it is difficult to determine whether Earth is the only planet in the universe that hosts life. In fact, in recent years, scientists have discovered many Earth-like exoplanets whose conditions may be suitable for the existence of life. Therefore, the possibility of extraterrestrial life cannot be ignored.
However, Nelson also said that we cannot be too eager to find evidence of extraterrestrial life. He believes that we should remain humble and open-minded and continue to explore the mysteries of the universe. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the problems on the planet, such as climate change, resource depletion, etc., to ensure that human beings can continue to develop on the planet.
Nelson also cautioned against putting too much faith into unconfirmed UFO sightings. Some people, he said, may make up stories to attract attention or seek fame and fortune. Therefore, when confronted with UFO phenomena, we should remain skeptical and verify and explain these phenomena through scientific methods.
In conclusion, Nelson believes that the UFO phenomenon may be evidence of extraterrestrial life, or it may be that our eyes are playing tricks on us. He said that we should remain humble and open-minded and continue to explore the mysteries of the universe, while also focusing on the problems on Earth. Only in this way can we better understand this amazing universe.
