I almost choked when I read this . . . .

Q. Many say that nasa is hiding about aliens? doing research on aliens in area 51, nevada. it is highly restricted place such that even president also can not go there? who are majestic 12? say me clearly about rosewell incident? about phoneix lights that took place in germany? gray mcckinon who hacked into nasa systems and found that there are spaceships and files related to them?

A. You seem to have accepted a fantasy world rather than reality. Millions of people wish that UFOs were real and that aliens are visiting us, by wishing does to make it so. The hard fact is that scientists have no indication (yet) of either life on other worlds or of visits to Earth by aliens. If you are really looking for the truth, there is lots of good information available answering all of the items you mention, starting with Wikipedia entries and the references given there. Very briefly, NASA is not hiding research about aliens. Area 51 (Groom Lake) is a military airfield in Nevada — but to say the President could not visit there is crazy. Majestic 12 is a well-know hoax. The incident at Roswell (not Rosewell) was the crash of a balloon carrying instruments to monitor nuclear tests. The best known cases of “Phoenix lights” are well-documented hoaxes done to show how gullible many people are. And the story about hacking into NASA and finding files about alien spaceships is just a simple lie. In the United States not many people still believe in the UFO-alien fantasy, but sadly these stories are more widely accepted in many other countries. My message is that astrobiology — the study of life in the universe — is a real, vibrant scientific field, but the sort of questions you raise are unrelated to science or to the real world.
