Star Trek star William Shatner says congress hearings on UFOs are ‘ridiculous’

  • The Star Trek star, 92, reacted to last week’s bombshell UFO hearings 
  • Last week intelligence veteran David Grusch claimed he had evidence of a secret alien ship crash retrieval program
  • Shatner’s remarks come after he took a trip aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket in 2021

William Shatner has called the recent congressional hearings on UFOs ‘ridiculous,’ arguing that if aliens really had reached earth, they would have made a bigger deal about it. 

The Star Trek star, 92, who took a trip on aboard Blue Origin’s Shepard rocket in 2021, reacted to last week’s bombshell hearings, which saw three military whistleblowers claim they had firsthand encounters or knowledge about secret government programs involving technology that is ‘non-human.’ 

One of them, David Grusch, claimed he had evidence of a secret alien ship crash retrieval program, and that he had been told by multiple credible intelligence officials that the US government had recovered non-human aircraft that had biological pilots inside them.

‘It’s just in my mind, it’s ridiculous,’ Shatner told NewsNations’ Meredith Vieira on Wednesday.

‘You mean, some highly intelligent being goes 10,000 light years with advanced technology arrives here, and hides doesn’t make any sense.

‘If something could reach the Earth, they would make a big to do about, my gosh, there’s life in other places.’

Shatner’s remarks come after he took a trip aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket in 2021.

The actor ventured 351,186 feet above Earth’s surface where he spent three minutes in weightlessness. He was pictured floating in wonder and excitement as the crew looked down on Earth.

Once Shatner, who is now the oldest person to go to space, made it back to terra firma he came back with a message: ‘What we’re looking down upon is Mother Earth and it needs protecting in the world needs to see this.’

When asked on Wednesday if he would be up to repeat the experience, Shatner said it would be like ‘going back to a love affair.’

‘I had such a incredible moment in my life by going up and coming back, that I don’t know whether I want to go and repeat the experience. It certainly would be different,’ he explained. 

‘I don’t want to mitigate what I felt when I came back.’ 

Shatner recalled his words to Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos after he arrived back on earth following the rocket ride.  

‘What came out of my mouth, from what I saw, was saying to Jeff, I don’t want ever to forget this. So, I talk a lot about what it was I saw, how we’re destroying our Earth, the beauty, the holiness, the sacredness of life, that’s taken 3.8 billion years to, to mature–we’re destroying it,’ he added.

‘And that’s the sin of what we’re doing now. And it will result in our destruction unless we do something very quickly about it.’

A visibly emotional Shatner was seen on incredible footage after his return to earth in 2021.

Bezos stood proudly from the sideline, watching the Shatner and three other new astronauts share their out of this world experience.

As a shaky Shatner emerged from the capsule, he instantly wrapped his arms around Bezos. The actor said he was struck by the vulnerability of Earth and the relative sliver of its atmosphere.

‘Everybody in the world needs to do this,’ he said at the time. ‘To see the blue color whip by and now you’re staring into blackness, that’s the thing. The covering of blue, this sheath, this blanket, this comforter of blue that we have around, we say, ‘Oh, that’s blue sky.’ And then suddenly you shoot through it all, and you’re looking into blackness, into black ugliness.’

‘As you look down, there’s your blue down there with the black up there. There is Mother Earth and comfort and there is — is there death? I don’t know. Is that the way death is?’

‘I don’t know. Was that death? Is that the way death is?’

Breaking into tears, Shatner then told Bezos: ‘I’m so filled with emotion with what just happened. I hope I never recover from this.’

When asked what he meant with his death comment, Shatner said it was about the blackness.

‘Well, blackness is the color of mourning, isn’t it? Black is death Black is, we have in our heads that black is death, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is. But black is the color of death,’ he told NewsNation.

‘All the, the mourning clothes are black. The shrouds are black, everything is black, it’s death. Black means death. 

‘And looking towards space, being black, and looking back towards our beautiful little rock, which is blue and beige, and white and all the beautiful colors of, of the fractured light. It was, the difference was, was dramatic.’  

Last week, intelligence veteran Grusch told congress the US has been in possession of UFOs since ‘the 1930s’ and has been secretly back-engineering them and carrying out a public disinformation campaign to prevent the details from leaking publicly.

The former US Intelligence agent also said that he knows of ‘multiple colleagues’ who were physically injured by UFOs either after encountering them or working on them as part of these special access programs.
