Canada's Former Defence Minister Claims that Aliens Are Real

What's interesting about these "Tall White" aliens is they appear to be similar to the ones described in the book "The Cryptoterrestrials"[0]

The hypothesis of the book is that "aliens" aren't really aliens at all, but an indigenous lifeform to planet Earth and merely disguise themselves as aliens in order to freak people out.

So if that's true, it means that Canada's former defense minister is being duped, along with all the other extraterrestrial researchers.

But aside from all that, why the heck is this on HN?

I feel confused.

Canadians, not Scandanavians, are the Aliens!

That was a hilarious article. I really want aliens to be here on Earth right now, that would be SOO cool and would answer a fundamental question that has intrigued humanity since we realized that were just on an unremarkable rock floating through space.

The sad part is that there is never any solid evidence for these claims. Of the hundreds and thousands of people who must be involved in keeping a secret like this under wraps, how come nobody has leaked anything? Why hasn't any definitive proof ever been released? Why are the aliens here? Why did they automatically build contact with the U.S. government? Why do these shadow governments always involve conspiracies with other supposed corporate evils like oil companies? What evidence is there that any modern technology is alien derived? Why do aliens look like humans? Why do aliens not reveal themselves? Why would aliens come to Earth? How did they master interstellar travel? Have they mastered intergalatic travel?

So many questions, so little evidence.. I do really want to believe but it's unfortunately still a fantasy.
