There is reason to take the theories about UFOs more seriously than many have perhaps done until now.

At the same time, it could be a good idea if, on a European level, one began to systematically monitor the airspace for identifiable flying objects.

That's what it now sounds like from Niels Flemming Pedersen, who sits in the Danish Parliament for the Conservative People's Party after a sensational hearing in the US Congress on Wednesday.

"It's certainly not because I believe in green Martians. Gradually, we will just have to take seriously the fact that there is something from the outside that is probably monitoring us,' he says to B.T.

Niels Flemming Pedersen already asked back in the autumn of 2021 questions to then Minister of Defense Trine Bramsen about whether unknown flying objects had been identified in Denmark.

It happened after the US Ministry of Defense Pentagon in June of the same year published a report with numerous observations of so-called "unidentified aerial phenomenon" - abbreviated UAP - that had been made over the years. A total of 143 cases had been observed, the Pentagon said at the time.

But this kind of phenomenon had not been observed on Danish soil, replied Trine Bramsen.

On the other hand, the then Minister of Defense shared the Americans' view that UFOs - at least on a theoretical level - can actually pose a security risk.

In the hearing in the US Congress on Wednesday, former intelligence officer David Grusch explained that, according to his conviction, the US government is hiding information about UFOs - not just from the Americans, but also from Congress.

According to Grusch, to extract materials or knowledge that can put the United States ahead in the technological and military race with other countries. Something Grusch has also claimed in the past, and for which he has no concrete evidence.

according to the British newspaper The Guardian, Grusch also told the hearing that "non-human" creatures have been found on Earth.

The Pentagon has denied the claims made by Grusch.

After following the hearing in the American Congress, Niels Flemming Pedersen thinks that there is no matter what reason why people in Europe are also starting to take the issue of UFOs more seriously.

"It also makes it seem a little less crazy to discuss this topic. For me, it's not about whether there are aliens or not, but about the fact that there may be surveillance,' he says.

Therefore, Niels Flemming Pedersen would also like to see a decision made as to whether Europe should follow the American example and monitor space for unidentified flying objects to a greater extent.

Do you really believe that UFOs and intelligent life exist in space?

"In the sense that ufo just means an unidentifiable flying object, then yes. But I don't imagine it's some kind of aliens. Enough closer surveillance from foreign states.'

B.T. has asked the Ministry of Defense whether, since the last report in December 2021, UFA-like phenomena have been observed in Denmark, and whether the Danish side still shares the Americans' view that these phenomena can pose a security risk.

The Ministry of Defense has not yet returned with an answer.
