A new online database of historical UFO records, launched by the National Archives and containing hundreds of thousands of records related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), has attracted attention and interest in the scientific and military community.

Additionally, lawmakers have called for the declassification of government UAP records, demonstrating a growing interest in the subject. The initiative is regarded as a promising step towards reducing the social stigma around UAPs and encouraging more rigorous research in the future.

In a recent development, a notable increase in the number of individuals who believe in the existence of aliens has been observed. According to a report by Newsweek, the concept of alien life is gaining unprecedented traction in the US and across the globe, prompting concerns about its potential impact. One significant statistic highlights that the percentage of people in the US who consider UFO sightings as evidence of extraterrestrial life has risen from 20% in the late 1990s to 34% by 2022, with 24% claiming to have personally witnessed a flying saucer. Tony Milligan, a senior research fellow at King's College London, articulated that this surge in belief has even captured the attention of US politicians, forecasting the possibility of the topic reaching Congress.

Sept. 6, 2024, 8:31 p.m. • New York Post • (4 Minute Read)
In a new paper, it has been warned that an overwhelming belief in aliens is proving to be 'dangerous' to society. The paper, authored by Tony Milligan, a research fellow in the philosophy of ethics at King’s College in London, highlights the widespread societal problem resulting from the growing consensus on UFO conspiracies. According to Milligan, the lack of evidence for the existence of aliens coupled with the promotion of conspiracy theories is undermining trust in democratic institutions. Moreover, he asserts that the fascination with UFOs is detracting from legitimate scientific exploration of the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The paper also points out the detrimental impact of alien conspiracy theories on the understanding of ancient civilizations and their mythology. This academic warning comes in the wake of heightened interest in UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena, with a significant portion of the population believing that the government possesses more knowledge about UFOs than it discloses. The author urges for a reevaluation of society's preoccupation with extraterrestrial life and its consequences.
