“Civilizations from super-Earths are much less likely to explore the stars”
Michael Hippke
Researcher Michael Hippke, from the Sonneberg Observatory in Germany, said extraterrestrials have never been contacted as they are all pinned to planets by gravity.
His theory stems from the fact that aliens would need to live on an Earth-like planet where complex life could be sustained.
But many of these so-called super Earths have extremely heavy gravity that would require about 440,000 tonnes of fuel to launch the equivalent of the Apollo moon mission craft.
Dr Hippke said: “On more-massive planets, spaceflight would be exponentially more expensive. Such civilisations would not have satellite TV, a moon mission or a Hubble Space Telescope.
More than 40,000 Americans have taken out insurance against being abducted by aliens.
Edgar Mitchell, the sixth person to walk on the moon, claims that “aliens have contacted humans several times”.
Astronomer Frank Drake made the first scientific attempt to contact alien beings in 1960.

He added: “Civilisations from super-Earths are much less likely to explore the stars.
“Instead, they would be to some extent arrested on their home planet and, for example, make more use of lasers or radio telescopes for interstellar communication instead of sending probes or spaceships.”
But, many people on Earth believe aliens have already reached our planet and are monitoring life on the planet.

Emery Smith, also known as the "Black Project whistleblower", alleges he worked in a deep underground biological facility located in the US.
There, Smith claims work is taking place on extraterrestrial technology harvested from alien beings and their crashed or captured spaceships which would change the world as we know it.
As the world marked “Alien Day” earlier this week, it shone a light on the “abduction” of Barney and Betty Hill.
The everyday American couple were driving home at night on September 19, 1961, when they spotted a bizarre oval craft with “11 smiling humanoids” in the window.
