Snowden: aliens come into contact with us

“Defector” Edward Snowden, who lives in Russia, never tires of delighting the public with new sensational statements. This time he stated that aliens are constantly trying to make contact with humanity - and constantly failing.

Last weekend, Snowden phoned the StarTalk broadcast on the Internet devoted to space and space research, and outlined his logic that it is extremely difficult to establish a connection between civilizations from different planets - for objective reasons.

“If you take an alien civilization that is trying to wiretap other civilizations, or take our civilization that is trying to wiretap aliens, there will be only a fairly brief period in the development of those being wiretapped, during which communication will be carried out by primitive and unsecured methods,” explains Snowden.

“Everything we hear through our satellites, and everything that aliens - if they exist - hear from us, is encrypted by default. What we hear is an alien television show, or someone's alien telephone conversation - but to us it is indistinguishable from cosmic background radiation."

Earlier it was reported that Yuri Milner highlight one hundred million dollars to search for extraterrestrial civilizations. The program, called Breakthrough Listen, will be one of the largest investments in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations since the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
