Former Security Agency contractor of United States, Edward Snowden revealed that he tried to look for "aliens" in the files of CIA, however, he couldn't find anything because even if the files confirming the presence of aliens exists, they're “hidden very well”, he stated. In Snowden's memoir, Permanent Record additional information about his journey of revealing the secret surveillance programs by the intelligence agencies in the US is detailed. The whistleblower who is currently living in exile in Moscow and has never disclosed his private life released a memoir on September 17, and soon after that, Snowden was sued by the Justice Department of the US.

'Aliens never contacted earth'

While talking about extraterrestrial life on earth, Snowden reveals in his memoir that he is certain the aliens have never contacted the earth. And if they have, at least the aliens have not contacted the US intelligence. Further talking about the operations conducted by the US which later became controversial, like the landing on the moon. Snowden erased all notions of doubt by saying that it really did happen and that climate emergency is real. Talking about aliens again, he opined he had 'ridiculous access' to all documents from the CIA, NSA, and the military. So if the fact of having contact with beings from another planet is true, it is 'hidden really well'. 

In his memoir, Snowden says, “For the record, as far as I could tell, aliens have never contacted Earth, or at least they haven't contacted US intelligence. But the idea that we're hiding them, if we are hiding them, I had ridiculous access to the networks of the NSA, the CIA, the military, all these groups. I couldn't find anything. So if it's hidden, and it could be hidden, it's hidden really damn well, even from people who are on the inside. In case you were wondering: Yes, man really did land on the moon. Climate change is real. Chemtrails are not a thing”.

The Whistleblower's memoir

Since 2013, the former National Security Agency contractor has been living in Russia as the United States officials want to present him to stand trial for infiltration of information. Edward Snowden has been private about his life, but he published his memoir called Permanent Record on September 17. It is released in nearly 20 countries, including France. As opposed to Edward's home country, the US, many civil rights activists see him as a hero. The Whistleblower also believes that as much as he would love to go back home, he is sure about the fact that he won't be subjected to a fair trial. The data that was leaked by him, included the numbers, phone calls, emails and internet activity of American citizens on the name of national security. The US officials believe that his disclosures have caused a huge damage to national security. Snowden's memoir will be the first time he will speak about his life in exile in Russia. The security agent now identifies himself as an advocate for privacy.
