NASA has debunked a group’s claims about aliens. In Dayton, UFO hunting happened for decades.

Aliens haven’t been found just yet, contrary to a video in circulation.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's science director has debunked a recent video claim by the hacking group Anonymous that NASA was on the verge of making a startling announcement: extraterrestrial life was out there, and not just the microbial kind.

A man in the video wearing a Guy Fawkes mask speaking in a heavily-masked voice quotes Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, a NASA associate administrator, who testified during an April congressional hearing.

“We are on the verge of making one of the most profound, unprecedented discoveries in history,” Zurbuchen told a House subcommittee while noting no definitive signs of life have been found.

As the video took on life, Zurbuchen took to Twitter to quell the notion NASA would soon make an announcement about extraterrestrial life.

Last year, a video uploaded to YouTube was purported to be an angular UFO floating near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Area experts debunked that video.

No aliens were ever discovered by a decades-long Air Force program operating out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Project Blue Book investigated 12,618 UFO sightings reported around the world from 1952-1970.

Of thousands of reports, 701 were never explained, according to a January 1985 letter issued by Wright-Patterson officials. More than half of reports were sightings of U-2 and SR-71 spy planes, a declassified 1992 CIA report concluded.
