How Much Do I Trust Alien Experts?

Back in 1783, Black Holes were first theorized by John Michell. Instead of what we now know to be Black Holes, he anticipated the discovery of "Dark Stars." The first images of a Black Hole were only taken in 2019. Quick math reveals nearly a 250 year difference between the two events.

Since the beginning of time, people have speculated that there may aliens, but, as of yet, there is yet to be any concrete proof. Yours truly believes that aliens will almost certainly be detected within the next 50 years. We have written about this before: The Fermi Paradox is Easily Explainable.

The scariest thing about the discovery of aliens won't be the aliens themselves, but I think it will usher in the end of the Age of Christianity.

But because the existence of aliens hasn't been proven yet, I am currently skeptical of any alien "experts."

With all that being said, what are the odds that any expert actually uncovers the existence of aliens?

• Avi Loeb - 9/10 - I am convinced that Loeb is the most likely to uncover the existence of aliens. His style is subtle and nuanced, he isn't swayed by the romantic Hollywood version of aliens landing on the outskirts of town and asking for our leaders. Loeb's approach is both practical and pragmatic, scouring both oceans floors and the outer reaches of space for evidence.

• Giorgio A. Tsoukalos - 7/10 - More likely to find an alien buried at an obscure archeological site in Indonesia than any aliens buzzing around the solar system.

• Tom DeLonge - 2/10 - Yes, I know he's an esteemed UFO-ologist, but he's more likely to discover pop hooks than beings from another planet.

• Elon Musk - 5/10 - Mostly likely to find aliens by accident. NASA is about safety, Musk is about trial and error. What do I mean by that? SpaceX blows up a lot of equipment. At some point, that may attract the attention of other entities.

• Bob Lazar - 1/10 - I watched Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers and went from thinking Lazar was a well spoken scientist to he was running an elaborate con.

• George Noory - 4/10 - George Noory is okay as the current host of the Coast to Coast AM radio program, but no one could replace Art Bell. Bell could have convinced me of anything..

There is a Reddit thread that claims the are 9 types of aliens.....

What am I doing here?
