"This cooperation includes a secret underground base on Mars, where there are American and alien representatives." Wouldn't this require some pretty big coordination to pull off? Assuming the UFOs didn't just suck up some astronauts with a tractor beam... Just seems like lots of people would have to know about this, making it hard to keep secret. I'd have a hard time believing Trump would know about this and never sa…

To put it another way, if this were true a secret base on Mars would be by far the least important and surprising detail of this story.

Being notable for something doesn’t make you credible in everything.

If aliens existed and we knew about it, who would know? The head of Israel's and USA's space defense programs.

Sure. “He’s full of it” is still an option, though. I’d argue it’s the likely one. People have been killed for revealing lesser secrets.

Here he is talking 9 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjSeORB1Og The dude seems legit. This could be real.

  This could be real. 
Yeah, it's not.

The saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", not "extraordinary claims must come from one important-sounding guy."

This article give us no evidence/proof/fact at all, only the affirmations of a 87-year-old general that could be affected by senility . I don't know that newspaper, I don't know it it's some kind of satirical newspaper or not (forgive me but "Yediot" sound me like "Idiot") (EDIT: I found this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yedioth_Ahronoth , it seems a regular newspaper), but, if it's the work of profe…

He was literally in charge of Israel's space and satellite programs as recently as 2007 ( https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL11678080 ). If what he says is true, this is exactly how'd you expect to hear about it: an old insider with nothing to lose who wants to tell the truth. "gabrielblack", what national space agency did you lead to tell us so assuredly that he's lying? All I know is that if I'm a reporter at the…

No photo, no references, no curriculum ! Could be a person with the same name! This article is full of speculations, Could someone honestly say that there is a single thing reliable there ? IMHO it's more like the plot of an episode of "Men In black" then a serious newspaper article.
