'I think it is a legitimate scientific question to ask where these UFO sightings come from.'

Since the U.S. governmentaffirming the existence of unidentified flying objects , the world has felt closer than ever to confirming alien intelligence in the universe. But while we're not there yet, scientists are beginning to take them more seriously, and one physicist thinks we've no other choice. Professor Michio Kaku of theoretical physics at the City College of New York.

To Professor Kaku, while we don't know what's behind the UFO phenomenon, we shouldn't rule out the possibility that alien intelligence is driving the mysterious objects, and that they might come from alien worlds. A common objection suggests that, even if an alien civilization exists on distant planets, the fact of the unimaginably long journey from there to hereto nearly zero, statistically. But, to Kaku, this is short-sighted.

"Many physicists are skeptical because the stars are so far away, but that assumes only a century ahead of us,", referring to the level of technology a hypothetical alien intelligence may possess."Imagine if the aliens are millions of years more advanced than us; new laws of physics open up, so keep an open mind.

I’d like to point out that the U stands for “Unidentified” not Extraterrestrial✌🏽
