Prof. Garry Nolan is the Rachford and Carlota A. Harris Professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He has published over 350 research articles and is the holder of 50 US patents, started numerous multimillion dollar companies, and has been honored as one of the top 25 inventors at Stanford University. He specializes in groundbreaking cancer and immunotherapy research that have saved thousands of lives.

Yet Garry is also a world-renowned UAP investigator and says that Aliens are currently visiting the earth



Very hard to counter his precise logic. I enjoyed him absolutely roasting skeptics like Neil De Grass tyson.

Well he does have some great credentials so can't be dismissed as a screwball type.

I'm open minded to the numerous possibilities of such ET activity. It would upend many comfortable mainstream theories that many folk prefer to cling to because they would have to undergo a sea change

I think He now forms a big 3 of highly credible sources for positing the existence of an alien origin for UFOs:
Founding Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine at Harvard the late Prof John Mack
Head of Astronomy at Harvard and Head of the Galileo Project, Prof Avi Loeb
Professor Rachford and Carlota A. Harris Professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine.

All of them are/were extremely brave, for going public with their views, in particular Prof Nolan as he has major companies backing him for cancer research.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease

I don't believe Nobel disease is limited to only Nobel prize winners. The fact that someone has displayed great expertise in one field doesn't mean their views in some other, unrelated field are equally credible. Being a legit expert in one field doesn't preclude being a total crank in another field.

There's a whole lot of appeal to authority when making the case that this guy or Loeb must be correct because of their unrelated accomplishments, rather than concrete evidence that supports the claims.

I'm not insisting that they couldn't possibly be right, only that their credentials aren't evidence of aliens having visited earth.

they are all practioners of the scientific method FE. Probably in the top 0.01% of greatest critical thinkers in history. Mack was the first of the three. A serious attempt was made by his colleagues to have his tenure at Harvard terminated in the 1990s. Harvard council were also keen to see him removed. Despite a serious investigation into his research on alien abduction, there was not a shred of evidence to support the claim Prof Mack was pushing pseudoscience. In fact the opposite. His research was strongly supported by evidence of hundreds of hours of painstaking meticulous notes and interviews with his own patients. All of whom were completely normal people from all walks of life with extraordinary experiences. Harvard could not find any evidence that Mack (a medical doctor) was engaging in any malpractice.

It is (I would argue) their very status which makes their arguments credible. there was no motive/incentive for any of them to jeopardise their careers to "purportedly" peddle something they themselves knew would be met with opposition.

Well, I often do think that I wasn't born to my parents on Earth, they must have found me in an infant-sized spaceship out in the fields near their house. I just know they've hidden the spaceship somewhere.

Or maybe it's my brother who is the space alien, the other week our own mother told me that having a conversation with him on the phone was like talking to one. She then said that might have been a little harsh, however.

It was science fiction writer, Arthur C.Clarke, who coined the phrase "truth is far stranger than fiction". I have a feeling we would all have ontological shock if the truth of our existence in the universe was made common knowledge.

Well, so long as you recognize that you're relying on an appeal to authority, rather than evidence.

Let me know when there's some evidence, but until then I'll remain skeptical. Highly respected dude says so isn't evidence.

It is brave of any sort of professor to stake their reputation on something like "the aliens exist"!

He'll forever be known as "the aliens amongst us theorist".

Fair enough. For clarity, I'm not appealing to authority per say. I am pointing out people in authority have made extraordinary proposals based on a credible hypothesis where there is credible evidence. Over the years there's been literally hundreds of members of the military, navy and airforce who have seen unidentified objects verified by the US government since 2017. Among those include high ranking officials who have nuclear and intelligence clearance. I can't imagine people authorised to look after weapons of mass destruction would be permitted to continue if they were somehow delusional or making up stories.

Back to Prof Nolan, in the 3hr interview he makes the valid point. Scientists say its impossible we are the only life form in the universe. But then they say its also impossible to traverse the long distances to reach earth. they rely on the musings of Enrico Fermi made in the 1950s that when one looks into the night sky it looks empty. Simply because we have barely emerged from the jungle ourselves and are only aware of our own existence does not automatically invalidate the existence of other advanced life-forms who not only have trillions of earth like planets to evolve on but billions of years of time to arise elsewhere prior to earth forming.

And that's my point. All three Professors I mentioned were already world famous for their academic achievements. Prof Nolan in addition is a businessman who runs several multi-million dollar companies involved with anti-cancer treatments. He is the last person to be seeking superficial thrills by making up stuff for publicity or notoriety putting off investors in his companies. Not to mention patients using his treatments.

Anyone watching the interview will pick up he's been seconded on several projects for the US military. Again there is seriously no reason why a man in this position would voluntarily choose to make himself a laughing stock.

It's likely life exists beyond earth.

That's not the same as intelligent life regularly visiting earth, despite your attempt to conflate the two as synonymous.

I'm just saying (so is Nolan) the capacity for traversing light years is not impossible. It really does not make sense if science says the existence of multiverses and wormholes are likely but alien life cannot possibly know how to cross the barrier of space because we humans know everything despite barely evolving a few generations ago from running around in grass skirts, living in caves and scavenging dead animals.

I understand what you believe, I'm just unconvinced due to a lack of evidence.

Yes; humankind actually knows very little but often think they do, until proven otherwise, like the people who said a heavier then air craft wouldn't be able to fly, or that computers would never be useful to the general public.
