Former senate majority leader Harry Reid has announced he believes in extraterrestrial life, maintaining the government should be doing more to research Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).
“The world as we know it today is extremely large. It’s so big I can’t comprehend it,” Mr Reid said in an interview with Vice.
"And I think that we as human beings have to be a little short-sighted if we think we’re the only species in the entire universe. In the entire universe there is for sure more than one [species].”
The former Senator developed two Pentagon programmes designed to look for and study UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and advanced propulsion technologies.
He has continuously urged that the government do more to research UFOs,
“The sad part about it is no one else has done anything,” Mr Reid said on the CYBER podcast “There’s no one doing anything and that’s too bad.”
“We learned with the work that we did that the sightings of aerial phenomenon has not been seen by a couple dozen people, not a couple hundred people. Thousands of people. Thousands of people.”
“I think that we need to fully understand this and have no boundaries on what we look for,” he added.
The retired politician urged that those in power not be afraid of the idea of exploring the chance of extraterrestrial life.
“I repeat now for the second or third time that people should not be afraid. I think that too many of my legislative friends are afraid to go into this because someone will think that they’re some kind of a nutcase. But I went into it and I don’t think it hurt me politically.”
Last week, the Pentagon released three declassified videos taken by US Navy pilots that appear to show UFOs. (Links)
The videos, which were recorded in 2004 and 2015 show unidentified objects picked up by infrared cameras, moving at pace across the sky or rotating mid-air.
Mr Reid tweeted at the time that the release “only scratches the surface of research and materials available.” Unfortunately, much about these programmes remain classified.”
Mr Reid's views on UFOs are not widespread in mainstream US politics.
President Donald Trump has previously said he does not “particularly” believe in UFOs. Last week he remarked that the Pentagon footage was a “hell of a video” but still speculated whether or not the footage was real.

President Trump is celebrating throwback Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump told reporters on Thursday that he spoke on the phone with Putin and the two discussed the investigation into Russian election interference. That investigation determined that Russia had meddled to aid Trump in 2016, did not find prosecutable proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and did not determine whether administration officials sought to obstruct the probe.
Reiterating his displeasure with the investigation, Trump said the "Russia hoax" was "very hard" on the U.S. and Russia's foreign relations. "And we discussed that," said Trump of his call with Putin, also noting he offered to send Russia ventilators to aid COVID-19 patients.
"Things are falling out now and coming in line, showing what a hoax this whole investigation was," claimed Trump, likely referencing the dropped investigation against his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you see a lot of things happen over the next number of weeks," he added ominously. "This is just one piece of a very dishonest puzzle."
CBS News' Margaret Brennan noted that talk of the Russia "hoax" wasn't included in the White House summary of the call. As Bloomberg writes, the statement merely said "the two leaders also covered other bilateral and global issues." Trump did not elaborate on what "things" may "happen" regarding Russia in the upcoming weeks.

Satellite imagery suggests North Korea is building a new facility near Pyongyang Airport large enough to store all of its nuclear missiles.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank say that the facility, 17 miles north-west of Pyongyang is "nearing completion" and "is almost certainly related to North Korea's expanding ballistic missiles program."
The facility is large enough to hold North Korea's Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of hitting the United States.
The development comes after talks between Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, and Donald Trump, the US president, broke down last year.
North Korea has almost completed construction of a giant facility large enough to hold nuclear missiles capable of reaching the United States, according to a new analysis of satellite photography.
The facility "is almost certainly related to North Korea's expanding ballistic missiles program," according to the analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank.
One building within the facility "is large enough to accommodate an elevated Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile and, therefore, the entirety of North Korea's known ballistic missile variants," the report states.
CSIS suggests the facility is located 11 miles north-west of Pyongyang and features an underground storage facility large enough to house all known North Korean ballistic missiles as well as their support vehicles. The site's existence had not previously been disclosed.
It also features an "unusually large" covered rail terminal, which could be used to transport missiles and supporting equipment, and interconnected buildings designed for drive-through access, the report states.
The site is also relatively close to ballistic component manufacturing plants near Pyongyang.
"Taken as a whole, these characteristics suggest that this facility is likely designed to support ballistic missile operations and for the interim is identified as the Sil-li (신리) Ballistic Missile Support Facility," said Joseph Bermudez, the report's author.
"As such, it is another component of the North Korean ballistic missile infrastructure that has been undergoing both modernization and expansion during the past 10 years."
North Korea debuted its most powerful ballistic missile, the Hwasong-15, in 2017, which experts say could reach "any part of the continental United States."
Donald. Trump has since met with Kim Jong Un on three occasions as he tried to broker a deal designed to halt North Korea's nuclear missile program.
But talks between the two powers broke down in February last year at a summit in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Trump was said to have handed Kim Jong Un a piece of paper which included a blunt call for the transfer of Pyongyang's nuclear weapons and bomb fuel to the United States in return for the lifting of economic sanctions.
A lunch between the two leaders was subsequently cancelled, and a North Korean official subsequently accused the US of issuing "gangster-like" demands, heralding a significant cooling in relations since.
Maybe he’s gathering them to give to Trump
