Amid rising curiosity about UFOs following recent sightings of unidentified flying objects in California, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk made headlines by pledging to share any evidence of extraterrestrial life he may encounter.

Despite his fascination with the cosmos, in a recent conversation with Tucker Carlson, Musk clarified that he has yet to see any definitive proof of aliens. He also touched on the enigmatic secret programs conducted by the US military, raising questions about what information might be kept from the public regarding the existence of life beyond Earth.

"I would guarantee that the split-second I see any evidence of aliens, I will immediately post that on the X platform. It will probably be our number one post of all time," the billionaire told Carlson in an interview on the latter's new show on X.

This isn't the first time Musk has addressed the absence of evidence for alien life. At a SpaceX event in April of this year, he stated, "We are probably alone," emphasising the ongoing lack of proof supporting the existence of extraterrestrial beings.

Musk Addresses Military UFO Encounters

Musk made this remark when Carlson inquired about reports of the US military frequently encountering unidentified objects. Musk responded by saying, "Unidentified flying objects are one thing, but there are always numerous classified programs in progress."

Musk suggested that the government might be conducting tests of "new aircraft, missiles, and similar technologies" under highly classified programs.

He noted that these tests could be so secretive that even top military officials might be unaware of them. This, according to Musk, could account for pilots reporting fast-moving objects they cannot identify, which may be contributing to the rise in UFO sightings.

Several UFO whistleblowers have recently testified before Congress, claiming that the government has been involved in covering up extraterrestrial encounters. With these bold assertions coming to light, it seems that the proof Elon Musk has been seeking might be closer than even he realises.
