Accusing world famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking of spreading misinformation about threats from aliens, former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer claimed on Sunday that extraterrestrials have actually been visiting earth for decades. Rather than harm mankind, he said, their (aliens') spacesh ips have provided information for triggering the microchip and IT revolution in the planet.
Hellyer told the Canadian Press that "the reality is that they (aliens) have been visiting earth for decades and probably millennia and have contributed considerably to our knowledge."
He said our computer screens have their origins in alien spaceships.
"Microchips, for example, fiber-optics, they are just two of the many things that allegedly and probably for real came from crashed vehicles," the Canadian said.
Blaming Hawking for scaring mankind about aliens, he said, "he (Hawking) is indulging in some pretty scary talk there that I would have hoped would not come from someone with such an established stature.
"I think it is really sad that a scientist of his repute would contribute to what I would consider more misinformation about a vast and very important subject."
Hawking recently warned humanity against contacting aliens.
"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," the British astrophysicist has said.
According to Hawking, if human beings tried to contact aliens, they could invade us and take away our most important resources.
"If they (aliens) wanted to use our solar system, for some super project, our complaints would be like an ant colony protesting the laying of a parking lot," Hawking has said in a new documentary.
Hawking has also said that though most extraterrestrial life could be only in the form of small animals, but there could also be "nomads, looking to conquer and colonise" other planets.
