White House: Aliens, Extraterrestrials Haven't Contacted Or Visited Earth

Alien lifeforms have not contacted Earth yet, the White House claimed over the weekend in response to petitions asking for information on supposed human interactions with extraterrestrials.

"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race," Phil Larson of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy wrote in a blog post responding to the inquiries. "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."

While Larson maintained that there was no irrefutable proof of supposed alien life, he continued to tick off programs that were being used to further our "understanding if life can or does exist off Earth."

Two separate petitions submitted to the White House's "We the People" program received the requisite 5,000 signatures, ensuring a response from the Obama administration.

One petition called for the "President to disclose to the American people the long withheld knowledge of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings and call for open Congressional hearings to allow the people to become aware of this subject through those whose voices have been silenced by unconstitutional secrecy oaths."

The second petition was more direct, asking for the White House to "formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race."

The White House's petition program has addressed various contentious issues. The marijuana legalization movement has had a strong presence, submitting eight petitions that together have garnered more than 150,000 signatures, some of which the administration has responded to.

In a recent response to one petition, Gil Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, rejected calls for the legalization of marijuana.

"We also recognize that legalizing marijuana would not provide the answer to any of the health, social, youth education, criminal justice, and community quality of life challenges associated with drug use," he wrote.

As for the many UFO sightings they are probably mostly unmanned probes which is how we would explore a habitable planet.
The UFO's that do contain alien beings probably just haven't chosen to interact with the well dressed rodents scurrying about in their fossil burning machines.

I think people forget that career military brass and lifer agency employees do not see
ANY politician to be worthy of knowing all they know.

Keep in mind that agencies like the CIA and NSA and DOD
only "Grant" a politician a security clearance based on need to know.

The White House is simply trying to hide the fact that much of the "Pentagon's Black Budget" is now being eaten up by the skyrocketing costs associated with "Ancient Alien" Health care. It seems "The Grays" are especially prone to osteoporosis, cataracts and certain forms of dimentia. In terms of Obama-Care...in these early stages... only those ET's residing in Wisconsin, Vermont and New Mexico will potentially be covered by the exchanges...and not until 2013.

On an extremely serious note:

The low-level WH aide who answered the Petition, claiming no scientific evidence, did not look at the long known military evidence in Army and Air Force records. Three to check out: The Twining Memo; Edgar Mitchell, astronaut, and Capt Salas re: the 1967 UFO Incursion on a Minute Man Nuke base, in Minot ND., where 20 missiles, 2 missile wings, were shut down. It was officially reported to higher command, and let's add Stephen Greer's first of 20 government and military witneses, reported in 2001, Disclosure Project, see his book, "Disclosure" for their vetted, on record testimony. Instead, the aide used boilerplate disinformation, stressing SETI, as if that were more scientific than eye witness testimony from credible sources. There will be many petitions on the subject of alien-human contact, and/or government collusion to cover it up.

When you stop and think that if Aliens are visitng Earth they are going to be Millions of years advanced and have mastered the dilemma of travel close to or as fast of the speed of light. Perhaps, even the theory of worm hole travel. Those saying that it's impossible are limiting their thinking to our own feeble comprehension of how the universe works. We as a race of humans have existed less than 30,0000 years. A race of extraterrestrial's visiting earth just from with in our own galaxy would have be farther advanced by a minimum of 10 times to say the least, let alone one from one of the billions of galaxies out there. We as humans think we are the end all be all which, only proves that we are so juvenile in the grand scheme of the universe.

In the face of the most serious crisis in our country's history this is what the WH addresses? Come on H-P, why not press the WH on something more important like how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Actually there are 535 aliens occupying congress. You can tell they are the real deal by the foreign and hostile procedures they employ to run our government with.

Heres hoping the real deal alien ETs want to help the Earth, not destroy it , which I'm sure they could if they wanted to.

Space aliens can't be too smart if earth is their goal. Obama will try to tax them.

They should be subject to an inter-galactic tax rate if they have a million dollars in a Credit Suisse bamk.

please tell me,why would these aliens make America the focus of their interactions if they do exist? And why would they, if they decide to make America the central focus for their visits, insist on a particular demographics (usually white and small town folks) who most times fall into the demographics of anti-immigration activists? I would assume that if these aliens are what these guys say they are, landing on any other part of the earth anytime, and anyday should be possible, especially if i notice the hostile anti-immigration sentiments, an unwanted alien, will not land in the US trust me
