A UFO campaigner has claimed that the Vatican is holding information about aliens and is hiding secrets in its archives. A report by The Sun quotes extraterrestrial lobbyist Steve Bassett as saying that documented evidence about UFOs is hidden in the Catholic Church's archives. Bassett claims that the church has "always known, has been aware of this subject going back perhaps hundreds and hundreds of years".

Bassett claims that the church has “always known, has been aware of this subject going back perhaps hundreds and hundreds of years”.

He added that the Vatican Library and archives hold “extraordinary” information about aliens and UFOs gathered through centuries. Bassett says that the church believes that aliens exist and cites religious paintings as proof of their belief.

    What good would the Vatican be to the US government when it comes to recovering a downed UFO?

    I have no idea if what this guy claims has any merit.

    But! At least one pope has said that if aliens were to come to Earth, he would love to evangelize them. Also, the Vatican has its own observatory!

    Nonsense. It’s buried out in Jersey near the old at&t pyramid. Everyone knows that. I know it and I was only there for 3 years.

    That and Hoffa. It’s in the welcome package when you immigrate to Jersey so you don’t have to ask.
