White House says: There's no sign of E.T. or UFO cover-up

The White House has responded to two petitions asking the U.S. government to acknowledge formally that aliens have visited Earth and to disclose any intentional withholding of government interactions with extraterrestrial beings.
"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 from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy reported on the WhiteHouse.gov website."In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye."
The petition calling on the government to disclose any knowledge of or communication with extraterrestrial beings was signed by 5,387 people, and 12,078 signed the request for a formal acknowledgement from the White House that extraterrestrials have been engaging the human race.
“Hundreds of military and government agency witnesses have come forward with testimony confirming this extraterrestrial presence,” the second petition states. “Opinion polls now indicate more than 50 percent of the American people believe there is an extraterrestrial presence and more than 80 percent believe the government is not telling the truth about this phenomenon. The people have a right to know. The people can handle the truth.”
These petitions were sparked by an Obama administration initiative called "We the People." Initially, the White House said staffers would respond and consider taking action on any issue that received at least 5,000 online signatures within 30 days. The requirement has since been raised to 25,000 signatures.
Larson stressed that the facts show there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. He pointed out that even though many scientists have come to the conclusion that the odds of life somewhere else in the universe are fairly high, the chance that any of them are making contact with humans are extremely small, given the distances involved.
"However, that doesn't mean the subject of life outside our planet isn't being discussed or explored," Larson wrote.
Larson mentioned that a scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence is keeping an “ear” out for signals from alien civilizations, with none found so far. (He noted that this at first was a NASA effort, but is now being funded privately.)
He added that the Kepler spacecraft is searching for Earthlike planets in the habitable zones around other stars, and that the Curiosity rover will launch to Mars this month to "assess what the Martian environment was like in the past to see if it could have harbored life."
Regarding any evidence for alien life, all anyone has now is "statistics and speculation," Larson said. "The fact is we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrial presence here on Earth."
The Paradigm Research Group, one of the organizations promoting the petitions, said that the response by a "low-level staffer" was unacceptable and that it would begin a new petition campaign.

What about all the cover ups by other governments too? Oh I forgot. Extra terrestrial life only has a fascination with Americans.

I'm a sceptic. I don't think there is any evidence of ET life. I think it's just all the conspiracy nutters going at it again.

I agree with you on most things, this I dont, I am one of those nutters.
It is impossible that we have not been visited by some other life. All my humble opinion.

Well most governments cover up plenty of things, we need wiki to release the info like they did on iraq. Nobody would have believed some of that shyte if it never got leaked, some people were even upset the truth came out so for some people it is better that the truth stays hidden .

The biggest issue with aliens is no matter what evidence is brought forward it will be laughed at. I am not sure about aliens but it is little naive to think we are alone, we barely know anything about the universe. No matter what theories there are about it's creation and so on we may not even have discovered 0.01% of the universe.

haha, and the cell phone towers. Don't forget the cell phone towers. I don't think they cause anything except a weak and flaky cellular signal!

But now that we have found out our disagreements, I guess we will have to go to war?

Even if it were true that they have knowledge of Aliens visiting earth, they would not dare admit it...Imagine the complications with religion etc...People's moral standards might go out the window.

The mass reaction to such a thing is too unpredictable at this point and they(Governments) don't want to give humans any more excuses to come together and start asking questions. Governments don't like questions.
