Are we all alone in the universe or is there something—or someone—else with us?
Do aliens really exist?
According to Katherine Bennell-Pegg, they do. The 39-year-old astronaut points out major issues on earth that might prevent any encounters.

Australia’s first female astronaut made an astounding discovery!
During a recent seminar in Australia, she answered several questions during the section where the subject of extraterrestrial life was brought up. The astronaut made an extremely controversial claim about aliens.
But everything was based on cosmic research
The Aussie Astronaut explained, “Given the scale of the universe, we think there are somewhere between 100 to 200 sextillion stars in the universe.
“That is similar to the number of grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth,” she added.
In October, NASA stated that it believes there may be a possibility of discovering microscopic extraterrestrial life beneath the surface of Mars.
However, there is no assurance that extraterrestrial life exists, according to the James Webb Space Telescope rationale. This telescope was designed to look deep into space, acting as a real-time machine and capturing pictures from outer space. But because of how light travels, these pictures might be distorted, giving us the impression that there might be life in space.
A search for aliens…
After thorough research, she concluded: “We’ve just started looking at exoplanets with space telescopes, and just in the last six years we’ve found almost 6,000 exoplanets, that are planets around other stars.
“Many of them are in what could be a habitable zone. I just think, odds are, life is out there. The interesting thing is though, if it is, will we ever be able to communicate with them? Who knows.”
But the earth’s environment might present an issue
Although Earth is the only habitable planet we know about, the astronaut believed that some planets might be more habitable than Earth.
She said: “Many of them are in what could be a habitable zone. I just think, odds are, life is out there. The interesting thing is though, if it is, will we ever be able to communicate with them? Who knows?”
Even Donald Trump believes aliens exist!
In a conversation with Joe Rogan in 2024, newly elected President Trump made a bold claim on The Joe Rogan Experience that if he regained control of the White House, he would declassify government documents regarding UFOs.
Bennell-Pegg is a proven expert in her field
With her current position as Director of Space Technology at the Australian Space Agency (ASA), the 39-year-old sure knows what she’s talking about.
She confirmed, “There are definitely aliens out there,” when questioned about the subject. “I don’t think they walk among us, even if it feels like that sometimes.”
