Viktor Hovland discusses alien conspiracy theories and ‘preparing for the afterlife’

“It’s like, what is the deal with all the aliens?” Hovland asks. “There seem to be some pilots and commanders that explain what they saw and have video footage of it, so it’s like, ‘Huh, what is that?’ I find the reluctance to talk about that stuff fascinating.

“The conspiracy is one thing but then also the reaction to it. What do you think happens after we die? We don’t know. The establishment will say, ‘Your neurons will stop firing. Your body will rot.’ OK, that’s one explanation but, if you look at our ancestors, there’s a huge culture that goes into preparing for the afterlife. Were they just idiots or were they onto something? I’m just curious to find out. We’ve gotten sold that we have all the answers but there’s just so much we don’t know. I find those questions super motivating and I just want to figure it out.”

There’s a lot to dissect here, and we’d love for Hovland to break down some alien video footage for us. He may not have a green jacket yet, but it sounds like he’ll have a PhD in astrophysics some day.

Hovland goes on to admit that he knows that he needs a major, but he’s not ​​“losing sleep” over the missing accolade just yet. “I’m not a guy that just wants to blindly follow people and be told what to do,” Hovland admits. “I want to understand everything.”
