​"UFOs are ships from other planets, but their destination is NOT Earth."

Fake interview with Gabriel García Márquez by
"CIFEEEAC," which stands for Centro de Investigaciones Filosófico-Especulativas en Estudios Extraterrestres y Astrofísicos Científicos.

- What is your opinion about UFOs? - 
My opinion about UFOs is common sense: I believe they are ships from other planets, but their destination is not Earth.

- Do you believe in the possibility of life on other planets? It's amusing how arrogant those are who claim that our planet is the only inhabited one. I rather believe that we are something like a lost village in the least interesting province of the Universe, and that the glowing discs we see passing through the night of ages look at us just as we look at chickens.

- Where do you think they come from or who directs them? - 
UFOs must be manned by beings whose biological cycle is enormously more extensive and fruitful than ours. They do not care about us because they finished studying us thousands of years ago, when the last explorations of the Universe were made, and they not only know much more about us than we do, but they also know our destiny. In reality, Earth must be for them an emergency island in the hazards of space navigation.

- Do you think the public is properly informed about the subject? - 
I don't think there is a conspiracy by the great powers to hide the truth about UFOs from us. That would be attributing more intelligence to the world's rulers than they have.

- What do you attribute to some scientists' persistence in denying, not just the possibility of the existence of extraterrestrial ships, but also the phenomenon itself? - 
The problem is that humanity did not deserve the wisdom of the alchemists, who considered the laboratory as a mere kitchen of clairvoyance, and now we are at the mercy of a reactionary science whose simplistic dogmatism does not admit evidence unless it is contained within a jar.
 They are regressive scientists who deny the existence of Martians because they cannot see them, without even wondering if Martians might be the microbes waging war inside our bodies. As long as science is experimental – and not clairvoyant, as alchemy was and as only poetry can be in our times – humanity will continue to be part of the kingdom of barnacles.
 We will continue to watch those glowing discs that were already familiar on the nights of the Bible with our mouths open, and we will continue denying their existence, even though their crew might sit down to lunch with us, as has happened many times in the past, because we are the inhabitants of the most provincial, reactionary, and backward planet in the Universe.
