This Stanford Professor With CIA Ties Says Aliens Are ‘100 Percent’ Already Here
A Stanford University professor, who claims to have worked with intelligence and defense groups, claims aliens have probably been on Earth for thousands of years.
A prominent university professor—who has conducted consulting work for the intelligence community and defense contractors—says he believes that aliens have not only visited Earth, but that they’ve also probably been here for thousands of years.
Garry Nolan, Ph.D., a respected professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine, made the striking claim this week at a global leadership and networking forum in New York City during a session titled: “The Pentagon, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and Crashed UFOs.”
In comments made at SALT iConnection 2023—a conference that convenes investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers—Nolan stated that he believed extraterrestrial intelligence had not only visited planet Earth, but that “you can go a step further, it hasn’t just visited, it’s been here a long time, and it’s still here.”
Nolan specifically mentioned the “WOW!” signal, an incredibly strong signal that Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope detected in 1977; it lasted for about one minute, and appeared to originate from somewhere in the direction of Sagittarius. At the time, it was regarded as the first evidence of extraterrestrial life, but scientists have published work claiming the signal may have actually originated from a comet.
Still, Nolan stated that people continue to experience the WOW! signal on a regular basis as a form of extraterrestrial communication; even the interviewer on stage noted it was a fantastic statement that the audience might find “tough to believe.” When pushed about the probability that aliens had already visited Earth, Nolan replied without hesitation: “100 percent.”
He cited increased government attention on the matter of UFOs, including the establishment of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office to investigate sightings of what the U.S. government now calls Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAPs. Nolan said that one of the goals of this group was to establish a whistleblowing office for individuals who have worked to reverse-engineer alien objects, allowing them to talk to Congress.

中文简要说明：
为美国政府研究不明飞行物（UFO）的史丹佛大学（Stanford University）医学院病理学教授诺兰（Garry Nolan）本周在纽约市举行的「五角大厦、外星人和坠毁的不明飞行物」（The Pentagon, Extraterrestrial Intelligence, and Crashed UFOs.）全球领导阶层和网络论坛中，发表了惊人的言论说，他认为外星人不仅百分之百造访过地球，甚至还和人类共存了几千年。
据《大众机械》（POPULAR MECHANICS）网报导，诺兰曾和中情局（C.I.A）等情资及国防单位合作，以了解遭遇「不明空中现象」（unidentified aerial phenomena，UAP）的人脑部究竟产生了什么变化。
这场论坛是在SALT iConnection 2023大会中举行，而与会的有投资人、企业家和决策者。而拥有40项专利的诺兰直指，外星人不仅造访地球，在这儿待了很久，甚至至今还在。
他特别提及「哇！」信号，而这是早在1977年时，美国俄亥俄州立大学（The Ohio State University）靠「顺风耳」（Big Ear）电波望远镜发现的不可思议强烈讯号。当时它持续了约1分钟，似乎源自射手座的方向，并被视为外星生命存在的第一个证据。然而，有科学家发表论文说，这讯号其实可能来自彗星。
无论如何，诺兰说，人类仍经常收到外星通讯形式的「哇！」信号。虽然连台上的采访者也指出，这是个观众可能会认为难以置信的惊人说法，但当诺兰被追问，外星人造访过地球的机率有多高时，他却毫不犹豫地回答：100%。
此外，诺兰说，他认为外星人正用无人机和人工智能（AI）观察人类。他并指出，有雷达和红外线摄影机等传感器侦测到，有物体从水面上50英尺（约15公尺），飙升到14英里（近23公里），但不到1秒内就飞回原处。
他坦言，为国防承包商工作的物理学家向他说明，这能如何办到，但在现实世界中，这需要庞大的能量，而以目前的状况来说，这似乎不切实际。然而，诺兰详述，人类只要掌握其中一丁点技术，便足以彻底改变社会。
同时诺兰还指出，政府日益关注UFO，甚至成立了「全领域异常现象解析办公室」（All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office，AARO），以调查美国政府现今所谓的「不明空中现象」。他说，这组织的目标之一，就是为从事外星物体逆向工程的人设立举报办公室，让他们能和国会对话。
