Dr Gail Iles talks the existence of UFOs and aliens

Dr Gail Iles says if evidence due to be released in 18 months proves the existence of aliens and UFOs then she won’t be shocked.

Her comments come as the US congress published a website dedicated to reporting sightings and accepted a number of interactions between fighter jets and UFOs.

“If that’s the case, if we’re living side-by-side with an alien civilisation, then great, lets start talking,” she told Neil Mitchell.

She also says it’s likely the recent discussion of UFOs and aliens is to distract the general public from “real endeavours”.

“And from real scientific missions and gets our attention off … progressing our own technology and progressing our own coordinated effort, I think it’s a distraction,” she said.
