NASA astronaut reveals why he is convinced aliens exist - and warns of war in space

Former NASA astronaut Winston Scott said in an interview that he is convinced there is intelligent life in the universe, based on statistical reasoning, and warned of a military conflict in space between the US, Russia, and China, citing American confirmation of weapons deployment in orbit.

Former NASA astronaut Winston Scott, who flew on two space shuttles in the 1990s, said in an interview with Fox News that he is convinced there is intelligent life in the universe, based on the statistical consideration of the vast number of planets. According to him, he did not claim to have seen aliens or that there is proof of their visit to Earth. Scott also warned of a military conflict in space between the United States, Russia, and China, noting that last September the US Secretary of the Air Force confirmed that the United States has weapons in orbit around Earth. He distinguished between belief in the existence of aliens and the lack of scientific evidence, and expressed hope that space will remain a unifying place.
