'I don't see any evidence of aliens.' SpaceX's Elon Musk says Starlink satellites have never dodged UFOs

Elon Musk isn't convinced that aliens have ever visited Earth. 

The SpaceX CEO and founder sat down for a panel titled "How to save the human race and other light topics" at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference held in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 7). During the conversation, the institute's chairman, financier Michael Milken, began by asking Musk how he feels about the well-known opening monologue to many "Star Trek" series, in which it is stated that the starship Enterprise's mission is to "seek out new life forms and new civilizations." Musk replied, "Yeah, that's the idea."

Musk elaborated, stating that if we send probes out into the universe, we might find "remains of long-dead alien civilizations." He then launched into an explanation about why he doesn't feel aliens have ever visited our planet.
