A leading Harvard astrophysicist has claimed that they are "monitoring 100,000 unusual objects in skies" and slammed it "arrogant" to not believe in extra-terrestrial life.
Avi Loeb joined Patrick Christys on GB News to look ahead at the House Oversight Committee’s classified briefing on UFOs.
The expert claimed: "I have established an observatory at Harvard University that monitors the sky for any unusual objects.
"We have more than 100,000 objects that we have monitored over the past two months and we use machine learning to figure out whether any of them might be extraterrestrials.

"So altogether it's a subject that can be part of the mainstream of science."
The astrophysicist was also asked by Christys about whether he believes any "major previous moments in human history" such as the building of the pyramids "was in any way given a helping hand by extraterrestrial life."
He responded by saying: "It is a possibility that there were visits in the past because the Earth existed for 4.6 billion years.
"Humans came to the scene over the past two million years. We're talking about a factor of a thousand.

"We don't understand why. Two billion and five hundred and fifty-two million years ago, the Earth went through a global warming event of the type we are now producing with our technologies.
"It was very abrupt, less than ten thousand years in duration. Two billion and five hundred and fifty-two million years ago, just after the Cambrian explosion, was when lots of species were created.
"And so the question arises as to whether any of these sudden changes in the history of Earth could have been triggered by visits.

"And it isn't easy to figure it out because the Earth was resurfaced over the past hundreds of millions of years. We can't tell what happened back then.
"But we can monitor the sky and look for objects that we did not produce and that look artificial."
It comes a month after the Pentagon launched an online reporting tool for certain encounters with UFOs.
The government said it is aiming to be more transparent with its exploration of the unknown.
An option for the public to submit reports is coming soon, according to officials, in a move that appears to signal the government is moving closer to its promise of complete openness.
