Ain't nobody got time for aliens right now.

So, retired Israeli General Haim Eshed is saying that Israel and the US have both been dealing with aliens for years. But the aliens don't want the rest of humanity to know just yet. That didn't stop him from trying to let the cat out of the tractor-beam.

Here's what he told Yedioth Aharonoth, Israel's largest circulation for-pay newspaper,

The UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet. Trump was on the verge of revealing, but the aliens in the Galactic Federation are saying: Wait, let people calm down first. They don't want to start mass hysteria. They want to first make us sane and understanding.

Makes sense... makes sense... Don't even get me started on Galactic Federation politics 🙄

Eshed is not just some dude on the internet though. He was the head of Israel's security space program for three decades, commanded the launch of 20 Israeli satellites, received the Israel Security Award three times, and is now a professor.

Even so, people think the 87-year-old Eshed may have lost his marbles with all this alien talk.

Or is that just what the aliens want us to think?

They have been waiting for humanity to evolve and reach a stage where we will generally understand what space and spaceships are. There's an agreement between the US government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us to do experiments here. They, too, are researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers. There's an underground base in the depths of Mars, where their representatives are, and also our American astronauts.

If I had come up with what I'm saying today five years ago, I would have been hospitalized. Wherever I've gone with this in academia, they've said: the man has lost his mind. Today they're already talking differently. I have nothing to lose. I've received my degrees and awards, I am respected in universities abroad, where the trend is also changing.

Make of that what you will.

But I honestly agree with the aliens about humanity not being ready. Personally, I don't think I have the energy to deal with aliens existing right now.

Try again in 2022, or something, guys.
