UFO expert Nick Pope has hinted at "hidden dimensions" in the universe and didn't rule out extraterrestrial life by saying "yesterdays since fiction is today's science fact."
The former Ministry of Defence worker spoke to Patrick Christys on GBN America and said that "we can't rule out" any possibility.
Christys said: "There appears to be some division online, as there always is when you're dealing with topics like this as to whether or not we are dealing with extraterrestrials, whether we are dealing with technology that is either friendly in terms of US or Western, or whether it's China or Russia or whether or not there is some presence of life that predates human existence here in this world.
"I mean, there's a lot of talk about whether or not Antarctica is some kind of base for a civilization that has been here a lot longer than we have. What do you make of that?"

The UFO expert responded: "One point there is that none of these theories are mutually exclusive. It's possible to envisage a scenario where all of those things are true, that we have an extraterrestrial presence, and that some UAPs are attributable to secret prototype aircraft, missiles and drones, sometimes ours, sometimes from an adversary.
"And yes, even the idea, I think I've heard it called the The Crypto Terrestrial hypothesis, the idea that there's another intelligence that we share this planet with and and that they're down there somewhere under the oceans, under the ice.
"I think I'm a little bit sceptical about that because I think we'd have picked up more signs of them and if they were that advanced they'd have done things like launch satellites that which we could then detect.
"So I'm less sure about that. But having said that when you listen to some of the US intelligence community whistleblowers, people like David Crush, they are very careful in their terminology and they use the phrase non-human intelligence.

"The reason they use that phrase is that they don't limit this to just the idea of extraterrestrials. But they even consider things like what if they're there are other hidden dimensions and something is intruding from one of those.
"Now that sounds like science fiction but you know the Large Hadron Collider, the big particle accelerator is actively looking for those sorts of things.
"So yesterday's science fiction is today's science fact."
He also explained that the claims are not another “silly season conspiracy pop culture story”.
He said: “This is a serious defence, national security and science story that can change forever our understanding of the universe and the people in it.

"We’ve had US Navy videos of jets chasing these things, but whatever they are, they run rings around us.
"We’ve had reports from the office of the Director of National Intelligence talk about how some of these objects are using technology, electromagnetic jamming for example, to thwart our radar systems.
"So there is an intelligence behind whoever is operating this."
It comes amid attempts in America to make the process behind UFO research more transparent.
Senators are bidding to force the declassification of top security US government UFO files, demanding results in less than a year.
