A university professor has warned governments not to open fire on UFOs because they risk triggering an interstellar war.
Professor Michael Bohlander of Durham University in the UK agues that taking military action against a UAP stands (unidentified anomalous phenomena) could have disastrous consequences for mankind and any strikes on such a target need to considered very carefully.
In a blog post for the Global Policy Journal, Bohlander writes: “While UAP so far seem to have been restrained in their reaction to human aggressive behaviour, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case, for example, if the attack was not against a small, unmanned probe, but against one of the larger observed craft that may well be carrying crew.
“Some of them may carry weapon systems equally advanced as their overall technology. We should not test them without good reason and a colourable case that we would prevail.”
In the post Bohlander also references a video shown during a congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena in the US last year which showed American drones attacking a UAP by firing a Hellfire missile at it.
The missile had a “negligible” effect on the target and Bohlander warned human weapons are unlikely to be able to take on extraterrestrial technology in a combat situation.
He wrote: “The object was travelling over non-US territory, displaying no threat or hostility, and still the US fired a Hellfire missile at it.
“The effect of the strike was negligible. The object continued on its course with a few minor pieces of debris continuing to fly along on the same trajectory, making it even more probable that it was highly advanced technology.”
Bohlander went on to argue that military action should not be taken against UAPs unless they clearly show “hostile intent”.
He concluded: “Incidents of aggressive behaviour initiated by UAP are very rare. A clear verdict of a military nature or threat will thus be very difficult to reach in virtually all cases, an argument in favour of classifying UAP by default as non-aggressive and falling under the same protection as human civilian objects.
“They should not be attacked, unless they show hostile intent.”
