Considering the vastness of the universe and a sheer number of other galaxies, some people believe that there are planets that could possibly host 'alien life.' Just like the CEO and founder of NASA partner Bigelow Aerospace, Robert Bigelow, he is 'absolutely convinced' that aliens are currently living on Earth.
Robert Bigelow appeared in CBS current affairs show 60 Minutes for an interview on Sunday. Bigelow, the founder of space habitat company Bigelow Aerospace and a real estate mogul, discussed his work of expandable spacecraft's improvement, in which it inflates in space to change the work and life of humans in zero gravity in the future.
But during the interview, Bigelow said that aliens are present on Earth and he is "absolutely convinced" that they are currently living on our planet.
He started to talk about his belief in aliens, saying that UFOs have visited the Earth and there are still "existing presence" of extraterrestrials. He also told the reporter, Lara Logan, that he spent millions on this particular subject.
When Logan asked if it is too "risky" to say such beliefs in the public, Bigelow only said that he "don't give a damn," and he "doesn't even care" about what people think as it will not "change the reality of what he know."
Bigelow grew interested in aliens when his grandparents had the first ever close encounter with UFO while driving on a canyon road outside Las Vegas. He said that the whole windshield of the car was filled as the UFO appears right in front of his grandparents.
Bigelow also said that he has had his own close encounter with aliens, though he did not go into further details about his experience. But, 60 Minutes confirmed that Bigelow's company takes referrals from the FAA concerning some reports of apparent "UFOs weird activity." Bigelow is said to be a fan of aliens as there is a massive alien head placed on the side of the Bigelow Aerospace's headquarters.
Bigelow did not also give any details whether the private space travel and the research he's funding already showed anything about aliens. But he noted that the expensive work of NASA and his company won't be needed to meet aliens outside the Earth as their presence are "right under people's noses."
