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.That new "online engagement feature" is going great, then.
"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.
I'm glad that our Democratic president's administration is taking time to respond to the concerns of 17,465 people (a generous figure, considering it presumes no crossover signatures) about alien contact, but continues to diligently maintain its silence on the all-out legislative assault on the reproductive rights and bodily autonomy of 52% of the population. Cool. Neat priorities!
