Congress Hears Testimony on "Ancient Aliens" Series at Hearing on Extraterrestrial Life

5/23/2014

44 Comments

 
You knew it was bound to happen. Ancient Aliens has officially entered into the halls of power. On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives Science, Space and Technology Committee held a hearing on astrobiology and to discuss questions related to extraterrestrial life. The Committee heard testimony from Dr. Seth Shostak, the senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, and Dr. Dan Werthimer, the director of SETI research at the University of California Berkeley. The two men discussed the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and fielded questions from the assembled representatives that ranged from thoughtful to ignorant.
The big news out of the hearing—and the part that made headlines—was Shostak’s and Werthimer’s assertion that there is a 99.99% chance that life exists elsewhere in the universe. This might have been news to the media, but it has been a well-supported scientific view for decades.

Before we begin, I should disclose that I met Dr. Shostak a couple of years ago when we were both in Washington to shoot a National Geographic Channel UFO documentary. Shostak, frankly, was terse, rather aloof, and not at all interested in speaking with me.

During the hearing, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) asked one of the more ridiculous questions, speculating that if intelligent life exists perhaps the aliens have been monitoring us for decades “and just don’t like what we have to say… Maybe they got their caller ID block on or something.” Werthimer suggested in response that aliens may well know the earth exists, and Shostak declined to speculate about whether aliens enjoy our television shows.

Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL) asked the two their thoughts on Project Bluebook, which as a high U.S. government official Posey would presumably be in a better position to know about than two scientists from California. Shostak told Posey that he is skeptical about alien contact but noted that a large and steady percentage, about one third, of Americans have believed in alien visitation since the 1960s. Nevertheless, he pointed to the fact that nearly seven decades after the so-called Roswell incident there remains not a single shred of proof aliens came to earth.

But Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) had the question of the day. Since it touches on many of the themes I cover here, I am transcribing the conversation in full:

COLLINS: Have you watched Ancient Aliens, and what’s your comment about that series? We’ll start with you Dr. Shostak.

SHOSTAK: Yes, I think I’ve been on it, actually.

[LAUGHTER]

SHOSTAK: More than once! Look, the public is fascinated with the idea that we may be being visited now or may have been visited in the past—the so-called UFO phenomenon. I personally don’t share the conviction that we are being visited. I don’t think that would be something that all the governments of the world had managed to hide and keep secret. I don’t believe that. But the idea that maybe we were visited during the time of the ancient Egyptians and so forth—keep in mind that the four and a half billion year history of the earth, the time of the ancient Egyptians was yesterday, right? So, again, why were they there then? What was it that brought them to Earth? I have no idea, and I don’t find very good evidence. I don’t think… I think the pyramids, for example, were probably built by Egyptians. I know that’s a radical idea for some people, but they were very clever and they could certainly do that, so I don’t think there’s any good evidence that convinces me that we were visited in historic times.

COLLINS: How ’bout you, Mr. Werthimer?

WERTHIMER: Um, UFOs have nothing to do with extraterrestrials.

[LAUGHTER]

WERTHIMER: So, even though I’m optimistic about life, there’s no evidence that any of these sightings… I think that some of these sightings are real phenomena. We get a lot of calls when the space station goes over, although some people embellish and say it has windows and things. And some of it is people’s imagination. We know that because it ties very closely to popular culture. When Jules Verne wrote about flying saucers everybody starting seeing flying saucers. Before that people saw angels. When people watch movies, then we get a lot of reports that are tied to what’s in the movies. And some of it is actually deliberate hoaxes from people making money.

COLLINS: Thank you. I think that was my only question, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.

Yes, that was his only question. Thank you, Chris Collins. As a result of your efforts, we’ve now had the first ever Congressional testimony about Ancient Aliens.

As a small point: It’s obvious that Werthimer misspoke in his comments. Jules Verne did not write about flying saucers. On the other hand, it was probably audacious of Shostak to tell politicians that the Egyptians built the pyramids since at least a few members (and more of their constituents) likely believe that Hebrew slaves built them. As recently as 2010 the Egyptian government was still trying to convince the non-Arab public that Egyptians built the pyramids, which Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin had claimed were built by Jews in a 1977 comment at the National Museum in Cairo.

the I.Q points as manifested by these sections
of the hearing transcript are in the same loose
range as the I.Q points of our most active posters
on this blog. AA like AU is a classic comic relief
moment. the previous thread has a link to the long
E*book that was rather bold in its approach but not
terribly wrong. AA has a well deserved reputation. I
am in agreement with the 99.99% odds given, in that
the odds are 100% for less intelligent lifeforms being
abundantly and almost evenly scattered all over our
current universe. Sapience is almost inevitable over
billions of years of time, somewhere & elsewhere...
i think NASA can survive the "budget hawks" with a
degree of quiet dignity. we have about a half century
where we can establish permanent colonies on Mars.

Plus, Mars' magnetic field is too weak to protect anything on the surface from cosmic rays. The top couple of inches of the surface are self-sterilizing. I don't think there will be any Mars colonies any time soon.

I hope NASA gets enough money to fund a Europa mission, but I'm afraid of the anti-science members of Congress will cut the budget too much. The questions about AA are not heartening. At least New Horizons got off the ground; can hardly wait 'till next year.

when i was 15 i had hoped we'd have landed on Mars by now.
i'm still optimistic, i think 2050 is a very likely time-frame for an
orbit of Mars and a return to Earth that is not lethal to the crew.

Maladore... Percival Lowell assumed canals and tunnels once
existed there. it sounds like he had the right idea, especially if
we toss in aqueducts, for we'd need a network of underground
tunnels, canals and aqueducts to get to the tip-over point where
Robert Heinlein's or Ray Bradbury's Martian stories are almost
like factoids. Any abundant "BARSOOM" landscape like that of
Edgar Rice Burroughs needs a dome like the one in the tv series,
but bigger. With a sphere encasing Mars, we can terraform as we dead all asteroids or meteors. We can turn our better Sci-Fi into
reality tv over the next ten thousand years. I'm assuming we win
out over the nuclear demon and slowly actualize our entire species.

.

Mars needs a large dome for us to terraform extensively.
Domes need a network of meteor or asteroid deflectors.
Our infrastructure becomes more exotic than a string of
space-stations, as NASA again hires competent engineers.

Mars has a gravity 0.38 times that of Earth and the density of its atmosphere is 1% of that on Earth. The relatively strong gravity and the presence of aerodynamic effects makes it difficult to land heavy, crewed spacecraft with thrusters only, as was done with the Apollo moon landings, yet the atmosphere is too thin for aerodynamic effects to be of much help in braking and landing a large vehicle. Landing piloted missions on Mars will require braking and landing systems different from anything used to land crewed spacecraft on the Moon or robotic missions on Mars

Of course, clearly none of the atmospheric trainers for the Apollo missions worked at all in the much denser atmosphere on Earth. Clearly there's never been even a moderately successful jetted-thrust craft on Earth, what with that pea-soup atmosphere and that crushing gravity! For that matter, the Russians clearly never manage a terrestrial landing, what with the gravity and all.

Varika
5/23/2014 01:30:29 pm

Grunt, Fantasies isn't entirely wrong. Most terrestrial landing vehicles have used either wings or parachutes. Neither works too well without much atmosphere.

On the other hand, we've landed several rovers on Mars at this point, so clearly it can be done. The real problem would be in taking off again, since none of those rovers have left Mars again...

the men who walked on the moon and are alive
today are older than I am. i'm assuming in the next
30 to 35 years we'll start to really budget NASA
better so that some colonies might eventually be
established on Mars. it looked so close in the 1960s
despite what Viking sent back to us in terms of
images from the Martian surface. we aren't leaving
this solar system for a while, yet. I'm an optimist,
i assume we make the attempt, succeed... and then
don't nuke our species into oblivion. the glass half full.
i'd almost rather be on Mars if current events become
nuclear, despite the dwindling set of resources a lack
of supply ships from Earth more than happily implies.

Let's not forget the contributions some of our past soldiers made to the study of LSD...without their knowledge. Soldier guinea pigs? Why not...they're already 2nd-class citizens, anyway, while in uniform. And just wait to see what we have for our present vets: "If we can't cure you, we'll kill you...all that matters is numbers, Dude, not you!"

(Institutionalized apathy.)

Varika
5/24/2014 08:29:06 am

Gunn, the CIA LSD study was absolutely reprehensible...but it didn't limit itself to soldiers; there is no case for discrimination against soldiers there. The CIA has a history of results being more important than morals or ethics. Equally reprehensible is the current VA medical system, but I can't chalk that one up to bigotry, either. That's the fault of a bloated and inefficient, unwieldy system, a lack of understanding of triage, chronic understaffing, and idiocy.

You'd do better at getting awareness and help for the treatment of veterans, particularly in the medical community, if you traded in the conspiracy card for some facts.

(By the way, no apathy here; I've already been looking into what I can actually do about the VA, and started with some petitions and some letter-writing to some government people I'm acquainted with.)

.
5/24/2014 03:44:49 pm

it looks like the VA is going to continue to be underfunded
despite the better angels of the Obama administration. Just
as the WW2 generation is passing away, and many 'Nam Vets
are old enough for Social Security checks, half our returning
vets have PTSD and/or issues from their tours of duty. Many
need those VA hospital beds, as we thankfully are past the
point of seeing cases of PTSD and/or "combat" fatigue thought
of as a questioning of our current policy. Maybe the Pentagon
has ceased with the lies at the upper levels of gov't for once...

5/25/2014 06:00:05 am

Varika, what conspiracy card? Are you confusing me with someone else? I carefully look at just the facts, Ma'am, before dispensing my speculations. I don't believe in many conspiracies. For example, 9/11 was merely allowed to happen. Obviously, the assassinations of both Kennedy brothers were conspiracies. Varika, take five minutes to look into the RFK murder and you will see that our American "justice system" is anything but just. Sirhan absolutely, positively did not shoot RFK from low and behind as they faced one another the entire time. Remember, Varika, that some conspiracies are genuine. I would like to know what conspiracy card you think I'm playing around with here.

I'm a little disappointed by this post, only because the headline led me to believe that George Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken and maybe even David Childress had been brought in to testify before the House Science Committee as experts. But, since the Ancient Astronaut regulars did not testify, I was neither as outraged or amused by what really happened as I had hoped. Nobody's fault, I'm just saying.

If Moses is much closer to either Tut or Seti or Ramses,
If Moses lives almost an aeon after Imhotep, if Joseph
is closer in time to Mosus, then nearly all the Hebrew
tribes simply weren't in Egypt when nearly all the massive
pyramids are built. I'm assuming Budge tends to be rather
correct, and the dynasties last a long time. a long timeline.
nothing at all Young Earth Creationist. some serfs or peasants
are not slaves, despite an omnipresent caste system. there
may have been less excursions into Canaan and less POWs
taken captive in earlier dynasties, as chariots were perfected.
To get a proof up that only slaves did the labor, you need very
accurate translations. I'm assuming Budge is reliable, and some
of the newer papers are more accurate. this is again a big Q!

5/24/2014 05:41:23 pm

when you have Moses being born 1300 years after Imhotep
and easily an aeon after Cheops, the labor is much more local.
correct me if i am wrong, but the better battle chariots are truly
contemporary to Ramses II if you go by the designs on tomb walls.

even more cautiously,,, if Moses's birth is 1,300 years
after the death of Cheops, one is dealing with a vast stretch

The Drake equation is a well thought algorithm but the probabilities are pretty much unknown for all the factors. As dr. Fermi said, where is everyone? I disagree that the probability for life outside earth is so high. I respect these scientists but this is their passion, they are not going to say they don't know less it reduce their grant money. Giver pen the siz of the universe and the laws of physics work the same it would seem reasonable life is not unique but until we find evidence, we really don't know. As for aliens versus climate change. If ear a random comet or asteroid strike much more than the amount of life giving co2 we release back into the atmosphere.
