Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Alien Visits, UFOs, and Other Conspiracies
Are alien spacecrafts here on earth? In this explainer video, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice discuss the existence of aliens on earth and what the scientific community thinks of it.
Do conspiracy theories like UFOs hold any truth or validity? Or is this obsession with aliens just fueled by the movies? Find out what T-Rex, blackholes, and the brothers Grimm have in common. We also debate whether imaginings of evil aliens are just based on how we humans treat each other. Are the people being visited by aliens always the ones in danger?
What do aliens look like? Learn why we often portray aliens as being vertebrate. Would advanced aliens capable of space travel even care about us? You’ll learn how alien sightings have changed over the years with the innovations in photographic technology. We explore the leaps many people take when they discover things in the night sky. Are human senses even trustworthy without further evidence? Is the government competent enough to keep this a secret? All that and more on another StarTalk explainer!

I respect Mr De Grass Tyson. However, him saying why would aliens be interested in studying humans is the same as asking why humans study worms, insects, bacteria etc
I wonder why our species assumes that if we meet another intelligent species, from earth, or from outside of earth, is always going to be more technologically advanced then we are. Like what if we are more advanced then the aliens. Like let’s say we meet aliens that figured out how to get to earth through advanced space travel, but let’s say where ever they are from they haven’t figured out how to help with different sickness, they just assume you die or get better. Does that make ethier species more advanced then the other or one has figured one thing and the other hasn’t.
@@cameronbrown1490 I think because to assume that they’d be capable of advanced space travel you’d have to assume they’d have advanced civilization and you can’t have advanced civilization without sustaining life for a pretty long time but then again who’s to say their evolution process just wasn’t as slow as ours.what if sickness isn’t even a thing in their biological makeup
Yeah, but not everyone on Earth is interested in studying worms, bacteria, etc. So his point still applies.
In high school I dissected a worm. I did not, however, travel light years to do so.
Most ppl don't care about worms, insects or bacteria I'm sure neither do most aliens LoL
Hey Neil, any comments on the video released by Pentagon?
I wish he could talk about the potential physics behind how such a peculiar shaped aircraft could float and travel at hypersonic velocities without any typical method of propulsion than just say "UFO isn't aliens".
@@nedschneebly9417 he is probably currently collecting and investigating the available information
Probably Elon is doing the same
Investigating available information would also include investigating whether it was fake news by pentagon and what that was done for, if that was the case
@@nedschneebly9417 May I suggest Linda Moulton Howe"s KZhead channel if you are after an intelligent analysis of the various aspects around this topic, including the science and tech angles? It's called Earthfiles. . kzhead.info/tools/N9WjlKBvjBIm3AWDXI1EUA.html
Aliens are watching us like we watch fish in an aquarium. We are merely reality TV .
Dr. Degrassi is my favorite person in NASA because he is such a brilliant man and he's got a great sense of humor. I want to get his opinion on everything I wonder about the cosmos including everything I can't imagine wondering because I haven't thought of it yet. He's gotta be the coolest dude in the history of cosmetology.

yes but U also have to remember Neil also works for the Pentagon & CIA

@DesertRat45 🤣😂😅go sail off your #flatearth
The Xenomorph (alien creature) took on the characteristics of it's host species. One came out of a dog in the 3rd alien movie and it was a quadruped. This is how the creature adapted to fresh environments. So in theory it could take over the entire universe being so adaptable. That was the premise of the movies, to not let it become the dominant species.
Not to get off topic, but that reminds me of my question: Why did the Transformers look the way did on their home planet? Remember they disguise themselves to fit in with their environment. On Cybertron, they were already in their forms that they adapted to after crashing on Earth, but they hadn't even arrived on Earth yet. That always bugged me.
@@ArtSurvivesArtist Yes I agree with you on that topic as well.
Thank you for this talk. You brought up several things I have been thinking about (as much as I love the thought that there might be life and benevolent aliens out there). We can't even talk to the other species on our planet, how could we hope to communicate with a species that evolved elsewhere? The point about hostile aliens is also well taken. Does natural selection create that level of hostility/competitiveness so that we could expect them to be hostile? We are a danger to any other species (and to our own species) that is not more technologically advanced than we are. Our history proves that over and over again. Archeologists have discovered very few civilizations that have not utilized weapons against other humans.
We talk all the time with other species on our planet, it is not our fault if you are blind and can't see it. How think we are so advanced in our days? agriculture, stock-farming, domesticate horse, dog, etc
Yep. Lovely conversation. The fierce man eating alien an interesting motif. Also zombie. Vampires. The many ways man eats man
I'm so glad he explained that our fear of aliens being hostile is simply a misplaced fear of how we treat life
Right
Idk about you but me and everyone I know was taught to treat all things with respect. Who exactly are you blaming besides yourself? Seriously.
You guys are being controlled by emotion over logic.
@@montanamike7948 He should have better explained. But I believe what Neil is referring to is mankind over our history. From the days of Alexander the Great, who road hundreds to thousands of miles, conquering one territory after another. The Romans the Huns, the Ottomans, the Caliphates, the Crusades, the British and the Nazis. For a few thousand years we have been fighting wars, against people different from ourselves. Until recent history, the conquering has subsided, the wars have subsided. But for most of human history, we were at war constantly. Some people blame religion or many things as to why we have advanced so much in the last 100 to 200 years compared to the previous 5000. And it's mostly because of war. Great civilizations and Empires were built, and they'd be conquered, and in many cases completely destroyed. Even the language of that Empire would be lost to history. Let alone whatever advancement they created.
@@montanamike7948 I'm referring to the majority of humans treating life less than respectfully. I wasn't putting myself into the equation because that's not my belief. I just won't pretend like a good majority of humans don't have little to no consideration for life, it's sad but an unfortunate truth.
I keep coming back to his videos on ufos, to see how he’s going to manage to backtrack.
That will be a bit of fun, I’m curious myself.
His point about them not being videotaped has already been proven untrue, and will continue to be after the declassification in June.
Exactly why I'm here. I love you
He’ll just say I told you so
the goverment has already confirmed there are ufos / technology doing incredible things. and they've been filmed and have been for years. its not me telling you that. its the Goverment of the United States of America. greetings from norway btw.
“I don’t know what is, therefore I know what it is.” Lovely quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson. On one hand Tyson says that aliens don’t have a form like us, and we have no clue what they look like but then is expecting other people to know what to look for while searching for aliens, whether it be via smartphones or google maps etc.
Yep, also works for religion. Usually the train of thought is "I don't know, therefore god".
@@JaapTedrosexactly!
@@blugreen99 Oh yeah...? Maybe they are just... transgenders? You haven't noticed there's a helluva lot more transgenders among us these days? Not that I would describe a "transgender" as freakish! No, they are normal. Perfectly NORMAL!
It's considered that an advanced "people" are likely to have similar functions to humans. This would be an intelligence, a way to detect and manipulate our surroundings, and similar. It's not totally out of line to expect some are similar in form to the bipod human form, though a tenticled beast from the Simpsons could be possible.
So refreshing to see 2 educated black men who speak well. Love these conversations on these subjects.
I am 33 , I hated science in school but I have learned more from this channel than I ever learned in school. If I have kids I will make them watch all of StarTalk videos. Thanks and love from India !!!
same here man
Instead of making them watch it, think of ways to get them to want to watch it. I'm sure that's what you meant but I had to say it.
I like how everyman Neil explains things. Here's a majorly complex situation and here's what it really means :D
👍👍👍
The biggest problem is the vast majority of "science classes" are just glorified history classes imo.
Just what I needed before I go to sleep
@The Eagle same here
@SYIRE/RADIO said the alien warlord as his army beamed me up towards their shuttle
Same
It's 5:29 where I'm at here got to be up early for work
Not even 3pm here. Sleep if you must.
I’d like to know if the universe is expanding then how is it going towards this great attractor? Love you guys you’re awesome. So much info
What's that mean
Dr. Tyson please explain what is going on at Skinwalker Ranch? There seems to be UAP and very interesting physics going on at the ranch. Loved your video. I look at both sides of an issue when I can and watch both you and Skinwalker Ranch. There is an astrophysicist leading the investigation on the History channel. Thank you for doing your videos.
We don't think about what a worm is thinking when we walk down the street, instead we create an entire field millions of us participate in to study every single aspect of thousands of different worms. I don't think it's hubris that we'd imagine we'd be interesting enough to an advanced/superior form of life, I think it's that all life is interesting anyways! If we can make careers out of staring at worms, we can reasonably expect an advanced species would take time to regard our entire civilization as a bit more than a passing fancy. Just a thought!
I think Neil is also being slightly hypocritical when making fun of the way we design sci-fi aliens in our image; but then uses the same method to determine what an alien would do upon finding a worm.
I was thinking exactly this. While you worded it better than I could. Why wouldn't an hypothetical alien species potentially be fascinated by a lesser species on a different planet? Humans are constantly looking for planets suitable for life on it, we would be fascinated by that discovery.
@Indysbike nevermind, lol
Any species that dominate a planet the way humans dominate earth is worth looking.. Aliens may be far advanced but that idea that we would be like worms to them is, poetic for sure, but too narrow
The hubris comes into play when you factor in the great effort it must take to get here from any other star system. Travelling to Asia from N. America to study something is no big deal. Travelling from Proxima Centauri to Earth just to study apes is a big deal, especially considering all the hazards along the way.
If a worm built a space ship, I would want to know about that worm.
The worm don't have to build a space ship, if you see a worm doing anything intelligent you would like to know about it, I would agree with Neil if aliens visited earth in stone ages where there is nothing interesting going on, but not now, I think humans are intelligent enough to get the interest of aliens, because at one point, the same aliens used to be at the same intelligent level as us now.
⬆️ 💯
@@KonstantinosNC we'd be fascinating to a super advance civilization! Imagine if we discovered intelligent life erecting monoliths and giant primitive architecture on another world! That would be like peering in on our own ancestors, and a way to better understand ourselves. Seems unlikely to happen in my lifetime though 😂
@@Mrphilipjcook If there's a million of similar civs like us, then we might not be interesting at all to an advanced civ.
@@twonumber22 what if we're the first one?
I participated in a meditation retreat called “Awakening Wisdom” at Bodhi Meditation in Richmond BC. It’s a standing meditation practice with guidance and movement. The instructions are in Chinese and translated to English. On the second day of the retreat, I could not hear the translation, all I heard was static noise. I turned the receiver off and proceeded to continue the practice observing the movements of the participant in front of me. I saw two flashes in midair in the hall to my left. One went over my head and the other landed on an empty meditation cushion one row to my right and one row behind me. There was an opaque column of light about six feet high. A participant came a few minutes late to the retreat and went and stood on that cushion and both were sharing the same space. I was observing them for a few minutes and went back to my practice. I can see an intensive white flash that was occurring. I stopped and turned back to see what was making the flash. When she was moving slowly or still the opaque column was visible. When she made a faster movement the column of light disappeared and became visible again when she was still or made slow movements. That was the flashing. Th appearing of the column of light. On another day a German lady, Alexandra and I saw this whatever it was. She was repeating my name and pointing at the cushion between the two of us.
This is Reggie Jones. I would like to share something with you . Mr Tyson sr . You really would like what I have to share . This is one of those moments you always wanted to know . Peace and blessings
"When you're walking down the street and you see a worm, do you pause and say 'gee I wonder what that worm is thinking'?" Me: Yes Them: NO! Me: Well only sometimes..
Glad I’m not alone in that
not only do i wonder, but i make up conversations and little back stories for them!! i've done that for every creature i've run across since i was a child. 🤗
i mean there are literally people with careers in studying insects of all kinds. Some specialize in just one insect. I don't find it hard at all to wonder what an earthworm is thinking
Of course also how can he speak on behalf of aliens that he himself claims to know nothing about xD
Perfect
Do not believe this man. I saw him traveling on a UFO on NatGeo.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Neil please explain the context of food chain in nature and society.
Neil! My dream is to meet and talk stars with you! Agh! Absolutely love your work!
"Saying there nothing out there in the great void of space is like filling a spoonful of water in the ocean and saying there's no life in the oceans"
And imagine the chances of actually scooping something up
Everybody posting this analogy
But there’s so many living organisms in that spoonful tho...
You can actually use a microscope to find billions of life forms in thet spoonful.
what water? seawater? demineralized water? tap water? ground water? rain water? waste water? be spesific. you won't even get minerals(or some but not all)on demineralized water even if it amounts to a tanker, or a lake, otherwise, even one cc of water might have life in it (more if spoonfull). I could intrepret that statement as getting a spoonfull of water (not sea water) just maybe a glass with demineralized water puts on the ocean, why not say it seawater and never mentions ocean?

I feel as if my father just scorned me for bringing up aliens at the dinner table…
I like chuck....he is really sharp.....I dont know who he is or his background....but he is on point all the time. Top Man!
Neil always says why would aliens visit we would be like ants. They’d just fly by like a joke. We ourselves study ants. And not for nothing, any planet with advanced life is probably extremely rare in this galaxy, if even at all, but they may be very well interested in having a look. We study ants, maybe they would study the extremely rare planet with life, especially one with animals and stuff, even more especially a world that has beings that create technology like us. I love Neil, but I have to disagree with him on this. I think if aliens are out there that blow us away and can travel the universe they would be very interested in our world. We are curious, why wouldn’t they be the same?
Great point. I think he doesn't want to know there's anything smarter then him.
Yes for sure if the solar system is billions of years old there could’ve been civilization somewhere else that’s been living for 100 million years. Think about what 100 million years of technology would be. You’re exactly right as humans we study right down to the smallest molecule and it’s origins so it’s laughable to think if another species knew of our existence they would flyby like a joke
Well, the only counter argument i can think of would be, we assume they’d think like we do. They might just fly near, see us and go “oh, dang. Lets try the next system.” Or any other hundreds of reasons. I think the ant comparison should be more like a microbe comparison. Normal people dont even think about them. Yes, scientists study them, but we are not as studied in that part of science. Aliens on the other hand, probably could be. So they really might just not bother us if its just a waste of time.
He is a very ignorant man!
Your argument assumes we are "extremely rare planet with life".. Only alien who has travelled across galaxy would know if we are " extremely rare planet with life"...
_"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."_ - Albert Einstein
Too bad this idea that imagination is more important than knowledge is quite flawed. Without knowledge you'd be unable to imagine anything as anything imaginable comes first and foremost from knowledge, this fact should quickly put an end to any dispute over whether imagination or knowledge is more important. But one can't thrive without the other, they should be inseparable really. But I get what he had in mind with saying this, but saying imagination is more important than knowledge is going too far.
@@CrazyGaming-ig6qq Look at why we have the knowledge we do. For instance, electricity, SR/GR, quantum mechanics, even heliocentricity. Without imagination, we'd be ignorant, not the other way around.
@@thomastmc Im not sure what you are implying really. That I don't think imagination is extremely important? OR do you mean to imply that we could actually make scientific progress without knowledge as long as we at least have imagination? I would hope you can see how that might be slightly problematic. Knowledge and imagination is inseperable really; but again the gist of what I said: knowledge is the prequisite first and foremost for any scientific progress. Good luck figuring out electricity, SR/GR, quantum mechanics, even heliocentricity without knowledge.... People should stop treating Einstein like some kind of infallible messiah of science that can't be wrong or cant be criticized.
@@CrazyGaming-ig6qq What Einstein is getting at is more broad than the simple idea that we need knowledge to have imaginations. He's talking about how we gain and use knowledge. Take Einstein as an example, everyone had Maxwell's equations, the knowledge. No one had GR or SR. Those required Einstein's imagination to obtain. When you look at science history and realize how much of our knowledge was obtained through ideas conceived of in the imagination, then you'll understand what Einstein meant.
@@thomastmc I know what he must have meant, and that is not what I have a problem with, because I agree with why imagination is so important for the same reasons you just listed. But to say that it is more important than knowledge, if actually taken seriously, would mean we could then reject established well documented knowledge and replace it with our own imagination, because as Einteins quote tells us: Imagination is more important than knowledge. Again, I agree with that he must have *meant* but not what he said in that quote. And finally, to reiterate my point: there would be no imagination without knowledge, imagination is a descendant of knowledge, but knowledge is the foundation of scientific progress, not imagination. Imagination is an amazing catalyst for it however and progress would certainly suffer majorly without it. That quote sounds more like it was put into the world to sound a bit clever and to "get the point across" in a popular way, but sacrificing a fair share of truth in the process. Reminds me of my biology teacher who used to say that the reason we get hungry is for the purpose of making us avoid starvation so we can survive. As a teacher in biology she was just trying to "get the point across" I know what she *meant* but many of my classmates didnt and actually had thoughts of intelligent design because of the way she kept talking about evolution as if there was a purpose or point to it. In my honest opinion she should have spent energy teaching us kids how what we actually KNOW about that instead of trying to say it in a "digestible" way.
But isn't science being curious about why something does what it does or exists how it exists? So, using that theory from NDT himself, one could conclude that aliens (advanced technological cultures) would want to study the simple love's of humans
@Michael Bain Exactly my thought, we have scientists studying earthworms around the clock lol. NDT might be too smart to think in the smaller scale, he's a different type of scientist.
@@ZepG this is stuff on our planet to help us survive…. You think a being that can travel that fast and far to reach us need anything from us bumans? If anything, they would want resources from the planet.
I believe that's the premise behind Michael Shermer's book "The Moral Arc." It's also fun to imagine that a peacefaring civilization would invite us to become the newest entry in the "Encyclopedia Galactica." This, of course, would be carefully done in steps over generations as we become more morally evolved, as mentioned in "Contact."
Science cant be curious, but you all shouldve been long ago
Fear of aliens goes back to Wells' "The War of the Worlds" in the 1890's. In movies, it starts with "The Thing from Another World," RKO, 1951, based on John W. Campbell's classic 1930's novel.
I like how NDT can seriously entertain the thought that we might be living in a computer program but the origin of UFOs being alien is just crazy talk.
Right?🖖👁🇨🇦
@Robot X Checkmate.
He's saying that people have no actual proof and that it is unlikely they would visit us. UFO can literally be anything in the sky you can't identify. Hence the name. As far as proof, it's similar to big foot. It's not that it's hard to get a picture of him, he's just blurry in real life.
@@dylanrussell4158 There is a clearer colored cockpit camera pick of the same object, but let's be real here, no naturally occurring phenomena: 1) has a distinct shape like that 2) appears to have a metallic looking surface 3) flies at supersonic speeds 4) leaving no wake 5) and the kicker, banks like this object was clearly doing in the video 6) then accelerates to ungodly speeds within a fraction of a second and disappears from radar range which is effectively 20-30 miles on a jet fighter. Whatever this object is, is clearly artificially constructed and under some kind of control. That much is certain.
ndt?
"When you're walking down the sidewalk and you see a worm..." Neil, your analogy about worms on the sidewalk being uninteresting is flawed. We'd be extremely interested if we saw a worm on Mars.
Thank you. Exactly
That's only because we create such an importance on something like visiting another planet. Would you say the same thing about being interested in your neighbors worms? What about worms from the next city over? What about worms from the next state? The next continent? A mountain worm vs a lake worm? As our brains turn towards exotic circumstances, so does our brains peak interest. To aliens, mars or earth may be just another rock to turn over in your own yard, the milky way may just be their neighbors yard. Who knows how many worms they have seen over the years before they just feel like cosmic single cell bacteria that you only care to look at through a microscope for a particular reason. No more interesting than, "Yep, that's an earth planet".
@@ToadstedCroaks I literally think we would be more interested with each example you gave. Our neighbor’s worm would be interesting than ours. A mountain worm would be exponentially more interesting than a worm in our neighbor’s yard. Kids play with worms for hours. Grown scientists with years of education study worms. We’re all gonna die. You’re a monster.
@@CosmicBackgroundRadiation01 You guys arguing about worms 😂. Find your own analogy (that's probably better than worms). I'd find it interesting if we see life floating in space (living ones, not cell fossil on an asteroid) 😅.
@@ToadstedCroaks that's just it, "to aliens, mars or earth may just be another rock" but we can't possibly know that for sure. My point is, so much mental gymnastics is being done by people who just flat out say that we are not of interest to other sentient beings. There's really no way of knowing that. Can you honestly say what other intelligent beings might find interesting or not?
Honestly his point about the telescopes looking at space all the time reminded me of cinema sins quote: "And no one who watches the sky for a living saw this massive ship approaching"
2012 I was witness to something for 37 minutes, 2014 I was contacted by one being. And I have come to believe there are properties in mercury and pallidium, that can create gravitational waves in a device I'd love to draw for Neil. I cannot prove anything, and I'm not going to ramble off the whole story. But I enjoyed the conversation.
If I would notice a worm driving car and texting on a phone, I would definitely stop by and think what is the worm thinking.
Being from Belgium and lived my young life thrue the nineties and late nineties when 12.000 ppl have witnessed triangular craft from 1998 t'ill 1992 and it was all over the news. I'm one of those ppl. It was a late evening all dark in a small town in Belgium . Somehow i felt i should look up and i did. What i saw was a huge triangular black craft hovering by slowly without any lights and any noise. IF i had'nt looked up i'd missed it . I was in awe for a moment but then fear took over and ran away from it. Getting at my grandmother's place i told her about this thing i saw in the nightsky.. She said ,being a very catholic person , it be better not to mention that to anyone thinking it be something diabolical. So that's what i did ! I never spoke of it again. Until now. it was a late evening in nov 1998 . I'm a very sober and humble person and am willing to accept it could have been something experimental from the military .. if not it could have been extra terrestial !
Thanks for sharing your story.
back in Sarajevo (B&H), we all saw, the whole city, something floating in the air one day - i cannot quite remember how it looked - i was a child at the time (mid 70-s, thereabouts). we were told it was an some kind of meteorological 'balloon'. we all accepted the explanation without any questioning. having said that, no one has ever seen anything like that before - no one has ever seen a meteorological 'balloon'. so maybe it was a 'balloon' - but maybe it wasn't. how can we be certain??? because someone told us ??? on another occasion, a school friend of mine, swore to me that he and his father saw 'something' while picnicking in the mountains. again, can't remember his description, but he was dead serious about it and quite scared as well. in those days no one was thinking of aliens or searching internet (i don't think there was one back then) also, i haven't thought of this for 4.5 decades - interesting that i'm remembering it now.
Xavier, I believe your post, it is similar to my experience. I also believe you look up because you were telepathically told to do so. See my post.
Yes, it moved slowly and silently. Large gas filled blimps and balloons do that.
It was a weather balloon
I think another point about aliens that Dr. Tyson didn't hit on was that given the vast distance an alien would have to travel to get here, they would not be coming here to just do a fly by and given the amount of energy it would take to move through interstellar space their ships would probably be something on the order of the motherships that were depicted in the movie "Independence Day".
Lol bro they inside the moon… it’s not far
But that is travel by our perception of A to B distance and propulsion. Our views are very limited and simplistic. I believe there are very different ways to get from one space to another.
@@nickdyber7644 They been here before us! And still here.
I don't know. We have done the fly by for all the planets in our solar system as well as their moons, asteroids, comets, and the sun. But, as he pointed out, there should be footage by now.
if they have advanced technology this logic does not apply
So, as a consequence of our inadequate sensory organs, if we ever do find a way to communicate with aliens, would we be surprised to find that they think we have evolved into the best storytellers in the galaxy? :-D
Interesting idea. Kind of reminds me of Galaxy Quest. But they didnt know we were telling stories.
No doubt
Based on what I've heard from people who have an interest in UFOs, the question is not "I don't know what it is, therefore ALIENS?" People ask "I don't know what it is, so what is it?"
NASA - ASAN - SATAN is a lying creation of the satanic earth system we are in right now. We never went to the moon, all the moon landing records were "mysteriously lost" and the copies were "corrupted". The idea of space is to give up on God and make us think of ourselves as meaningless little details in endless space, when the opposite is true. Also, you represent the demons - 'aliens' - as the 'superior race' for us, when the opposite is true. Have you noticed that all 'space shuttles' always tilt down after a while, none of them keep going up after launch? Lies and deception, everything. Christ made us and looks at us every day.
Who is more humble the scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us or somebody who Says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind the fallibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book.We must not believe because we want it to be true.
All the books and stories or that someone had something in mind when he wrote a book looks like an invention compared to the book that many say is the only real book, I tell you to close your KZhead account and whenever you go online you you don't read anything and don't watch anything anymore, you don't send your children to school to learn because it's all a lie. Take that real book that you and those like you think is real and lockable in the house, and sit there locked in your mind, and don't try to be open-minded because you are locked in your mind.
I think your going to be very shocked in the coming weeks. I'll be very interested to see Neil's opinion after June ✌️
Rumors re though that may will be some new information that could be pretty big as well
You know the report on UAP/UFO's that is supposed to be released isn't suppose to be a public thing and there wont be a press conference or anything like that right?

He's brilliant
"The government isn't that competent of keeping such a secret" I instantly thought of Bob Lazar.
a felon
@@treehouse7861 Look at timeline, and ask yourself: If I would work for government and I would like to discredit someone like Lazard, how would I do that ? Joe Rogan somewhat believes Lazard and Rogan is a guy who won't take BS from you - check interview. Personally I am not saying that I believe Lazard, but I remain open minded. Also worth watching is documentary "The Phenomenon" from November 2020.
Literally
If Lazar did what he said, he would have had a US government Top Secret clearance. If you decide to blab gov secrets, you get to live in a federal penitentiary. The colleges don’t have records of Lazar. He’s disarming and convincing. But no way he’s legit.
@@danielpaulson8838 his records were erased.
Neil is treading on shaky water here... David Fravor, the navy pilot, not only confirmed the object with his eyes, but also with tracking equipment and radars. And not just himself, but multiple people part of Fravors crew also confirmed everything seen on radar and in sight.
100%
Did NDT say the pilot didn't see what the pilot is claiming to see?
There are many down-to-earth explanations for that. Many of them you can find in scientific youtube videos. BTW, “unidentified aerial phenomena” or “anomalous aerial vehicles.” are NOT THE SAME as alien aircraft. Period. The rest is just pure speculation.
@@jjt1881 there are no “down to earth” explanations for objects breaking the sound barrier without making a sonic boom, while documented on radar. Can you link me to these explinations if they exist?
@@WDE1121 yeah, except it wasnt just his “word”, there is literal military radar data.
I love to dive into UFO stories, and I love to believe in it, but I also love NDT’s take on the whole subject.
Would Mr. Tyson do an updated video on this discussing the information released by the U.S. military/government in 2023
First of all, my respect for Dr. DeGrasse Tyson is enormous. That said, if he frames the UAP problem as a conspiracy, as he says in the title of this video, he introduces unnecessary bias that serves the causes of science and truth very badly. The absence of proof is not equal to the proof of an absence. Therefore, we must keep an open mind. That's science.
But the Earth and everything on it is uninteresting, like a worm.
These UFO's are scary Russian Drones AND apparently the 9M730 Burevestnik AND THE Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System HAD A BABY !
"the absence of proof is not equal to the proof of absence" - this is faith, reason why religion still exist to this day.
@@borgz1352 but there is countless accounts and sightings over 100 years amounting to 100s of thousands of accounts. In my opinion there is something happening
@@Cho0segoose yes its called military weapons
Tysons second point about the worm is incorrect, we do , as humans, study "lesser " animals and insects, in fact some people spend their entire lives doing so, many times we call them..... wait for it....... scientists.
Yeah but that's looking at it completely differently. Traveling across the galaxy to study another "insect" is not logical.
@@mahchestro9144 we travel to the depths of the oceans to to study other "lessor" life forms. Scientists, like Tyson salivate at even the prospect of finding even just a micro organism somewhere on Mars or any other planet, If we had the tech to grab samples of dirt, hoping to find just a single celled organism from a planet on the other side of the galaxy, we would, so far from being completely different, it's not different at all.
@@mahchestro9144 For these alien "scientist" or "school fieldtrip", traveling across the galaxy might be like us driving to the next state in your car to study insects.
Can confirm, lol I've spent my life studying insects as an entomologist and know many people that do the same. Some of Darwin's theories and conclusions came from studying small things like moths and beetles.
Seems like he's never heard of entomology
that was a great video! thank you for creating this, Mr. Tyson.
I find it intriguing how many times religious texts say. Do not be afraid in reference to being met by outside forces. It seems religion has become more cultural than spiritual. And that most deny the modern events, while assuming ancient events are people with wings. Or something completely different. Thanks for being you Neil. Just giving my thoughts
Did the pentagon UFO video not happen in this time line? Omuamua? What am I missing? Is this the mandela effect all over again? Lol
Oumuamua was proven to be a pancake-shaped asteroid, not a ufo. NDT had also previously discussed oumuamua before btw, but there was less information as to what it was at the time, it was only a month or two ago scientists were able to identify what oumuamua was composed of being mostly rock.
@huncho farm I didn't include the video because the objects are unknown, oumuamua, however, is.
@@arcadian3090 we will have to see what the classified ufo info is about in june
Those videos show nothing remarkable.
@@twonumber22 craft flying at speeds and maneuverability we’ve never achieved before with ease is nothing remarkable?
I've actually been thinking about this same exact thing as well! Just got into this series and I love it!!
Hi, love your show, please keep it up. I dare to disagree with one thing but obviously we are talking theoretically here. I think there are options why an alien spieces would be interested in us, I believe like everything must look from many if possible all angles. You mentioned why would be interested in a worm,but there are people who are interested in them, categorize, name, look at them in their natural habitat etc. Therefore possible that not their entire race but some individual are interested in us. Also possible that they are us (as mentioned The Arrival, that is pretty much the scenario, also in Interstellar). Please don't take it wrong I brought up this, I just wish I could join one day in your discussion as a "generic human being" :) Peace
Insightful! (Those from my planet -- Gugu-Gee -- are benevolent, and we love humans. We also enjoy vacationing here.)
The aliens in “Arrival” were amazing.
They’re not regular aliens we see in countless movies and tv shows, they’re inter dimensional being that came to ask for help, they don’t fly out of Earth when they leave, they just disappear into the cloud. Arrival is a brilliant movie and it have a deep meaning to life.
Took my DMT trip to another level..
@@HY31494 true that, but still the best representation so far I've see so far.
Neil is amazing 🙂
Yeah, arrival was amazing... The way their language was in linear form opened my eyes to a different level
8:30 Ah but think about it this way - there's an entire scientific field that occupied with the study of worms, AND there are tons of people fascinated with worms.
Lol right!? Worm farms are an actual thing. When we were kids did we not pick up worms out of puddles and play with them? Well weird kids like myself at least 🙂 Thousands of people are fascinated by worms. And I think humans may be slightly more interesting than worms.
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe those potentially visiting us are scientists, or even anthropologists!
Question for Dr. Tyson regarding communication with Voyager 1 and 2. Considering the fixed power output of Transmitters, the Sensitivity of Receivers, the Fixed Gain of the Antenna Systems and Finally Free Space Loss; There must be a Maximum Range of Communication, beyond which Voyager would be essentially Dead to us. What might that range be ?
Wait he came up with all this off the cuff? I couldn’t have had this much to say in an intelligent and interesting manner if it had been a writing assignment I had 2 weeks to prep for!! I love the intellect ☺️
About the worm point: There are plenty of human scientists interested in the study of “worms” why would alien scientists be any different? (Assuming the plausible presence of Aliens that is)
My thought exactly.
Microbiologist, anyone?
Not only that but I would argue humans would be more interesting to aliens than worms are to humans. Even if we could somehow communicate with worms, they would not be capable of nuclear weapons or sending a rover to mars even if you tell them exactly how to do it and give them a few million years. Humans have advanced a lot in a short period of time and are likely capable of developing the same technology as a possible alien species, especially if we have help.
Thank you, @StarTalk for this brilliant video and important insights about perspectives.
It is more likely to be inter-dimensional as opposed to intergalactic or interstellar if anything at all. In that scenario we are not dealing with speeds and distance. I grew up on the Jersey shore near near three major airports and three more not that far away and a few municipal and county airports. Watching planes at night can be tricky. Coming straight at you may see one bright light, they bank and all of a sudden the one light turn into four or six of different colors etc. I have seen quite a few odd things that at first seem to be something they are not but turned out to be aircraft of one kind or another.. Maybe 55 years ago a large fireball streaked across the sky passing over NYC. It turned out to be a meteorite that hit in northern Canada somewhere. It was pretty spectacular. I tried finding reference to it on the net but didn't find anything.
I have a question Mr Degree, when we are looking at night sky, we see stars, but do we see galaxies. What is the difference visually between the two?
Yeah except for the fact that the ships advanced radar had been tracking these objects for weeks going from 80000 ft to sea in a couple seconds, which is why the jets were dispatched in the first place. Kinda rules out the human pilot error.
Lol. Sure they did.
It wasn’t a couple of seconds it was one second. They went from 80000 feet to above the ocean in a second. Actually they said it could have been higher because the radar only reached to 80000 feet.
@@raytruant9497 What do you mean "sure they did"?
"80000 ft to sea in a couple seconds," CORRECTION: 1 second
@Nonya Biz really??? So in order to make it that your not wrong because you probably have said that ufos are nonsense your whole life you have to think of some outlandish excuse like maybe the censors were off. Haha. You think a multi million dollar battle ships censors are gonna be off
Just a quick reminder: UFO means an Unidentified Flying Object. No one ever meant it to be aliens, technology or even real thing at all ;)
Indeed. And our own governments admit there have been weird things in the sky that were unidentified. It doesn’t mean aliens. And there are tons of videos of strange phenomena in the sky, just it’s usually miles and miles away taken from old cameras or cell phones and you can’t see anything clear. Could be a bunch of birds or mylar balloons. But I keep an open mind. If there are alien visitors it would probably be probes, not actual corporeal life. I think it’s possible, but one in a billion chance if not way more, like a trillion even.
Agree! But if we really think about this, what else can it be? US have the largest military budget by far and have for a long time. If someone could create something that seems to defy physics then wouldn't it be the US? Barack Obama just confirmed that there were flying objects they couldn't understand. The eye witnesses in the navy have told that they move like nothing they have ever seen and the radar data supports incredible speeds. To think this isn't real you have to discredit all that..
@@charlesbrown8737 exactly that ....why is no one talking about it ....its all aliens or nothing
NEIL I LOVE YOUR PROGRAMS MY HOBBY IS ASTRONOMY, NOW I HAVE A SMALL TELESCOPE AND LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE UNIVERSE BUT LET ME TELL YOU I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF WEIRD THINGS I CAN'T EXPLAIN 1 ST) I WAS LIVING IN MEXICO CITY CLOSE TO A SUBWAY STATION IT WAS IN THE EARLY 70'S I ALREADY KNEW STARS PLANETS CONSTELLATIONS AND ONE NIGHT I ARRIVED AT HOME AND SAW ABOUT 15 PEOPLE AT THE SUBWAY ENTRANCE LOOKING TO THE NIGHTSKY THEN I IMMEDIATELY NOTICE 2 BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE SKY I ASK THEM ABOUT HOW LONG THOSE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN THERE SOME SAY 10 TO 15 MINTS THEY WERE BIGGER BY FAR THAN VENUS,JUPITER SIRIUS ABOUT 10 TIMES I WATCH THEM FOR A WHILE AND I RAN TO MY HOUSE TO FIND MY BINOCULARS IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIND THEM (MY MOTHER STORE THEM IN DIFFERENT PLACE) BUT THEN THE LIGHTS WERE GONE I CAN'T TELL HOW FAR THEY WERE NO SOUND CAME FROM THEM I WATCH THEM FOR 5 MINS AFTER THAT I RAN HOME I NEVER KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SOME NEWSPAPERS REPORT THE INCIDENT
I disagree with this popular mindset that it is hubris that we assume aliens would want to study us. Despite our shortcomings as a species, we are still very curious, and we have dedicated centuries to studying organisms that we perceive as less intelligent, yet we still study them. And if we were to one day discover life on another planet, even if we did not consider that life to be intelligent, we would be fascinated by it and we certainly would study it. So what makes you think aliens would be any different? Curiosity is a trait that accompanies intelligence because it is the urge that drives intelligent beings to learn more about the world. If an alien species is intelligent enough to reach earth, and if they had the desire to explore space in the first place, chances are quite high that those beings would have curiosity much like we do. And even if those aliens considered us to be less intelligent or "interesting" than them, I can assure you their curiosity would compel them to study us. As a biologist, I have never met a fellow biologist who refused to study an organism because it was a "lesser being." I have never met a single person who was so snobby that they refused to study biology because "most biological beings are not intelligent enough to warrant my time as a highly sophisticated being." Everyone loves to assume that aliens are overly pretentious and have zero curiosity, but that seem unlikely. Again, why would an alien species bother to explore space if they had no curiosity? It's not like stars are intelligent beings, yet they fascinate us.

Can I disagree with the "hubris" argument? Our species is intelligent, technological, and space faring, if only rudimentarily. I think aliens would at least be interested in us scientifically. As much as we are interested in lost cultures in small rainforest pockets. Give our species credit for the progress weve made. Love the show!!
Would they ? How many other planets and species have they ran into ? At most they would want to know why we can’t get along on our one planet
@@jewsco Depends how many other species are as undeveloped as we are.
@@filthycasual8187 probably a lot as the amount of livable planets out there is near infinite and that is assuming no life developed needing different life sustaining conditions
Would we be interested in worms? Uhhh yes... ? We have scientists that study literally every known organism on our planet.
I thought about this several times, What if There's sentient life out there pondering if They're not alone in the universe as Well ! Maybe They're trying to develop similar technology to answer that question too ?
That shouldn't be a… A what if? We may not be able to prove it, but just by knowing the rest of the Galaxy and Universe are made of the same elements we know… or even some more, and that life on this planet started from those elements, the obvious conclusion should be that this insignificant part, 0.00000000000000000001% of the Universe, can't possibly be the only little spot that contains millions of life species, and among those, a few species* of human beings and a few more in the past ages. *in my opinion, that we call races

@Ryan Keuter true ( ex Navy so I've meet a few) and yes they are just people, but to be qualified to fly a Naval war craft, you have to be highly qualified, highly trained. These people are must have 20/20 vision in addition to knowing inside and out everything about their vehicle...and land on an aircraft carrier. And I'm putting things lightly! I enjoy Mr Tysons star talks, but he was Very dismissive concerning this Naval Pilots. I hope the USNavy invites him for a ride!
@@kathysarden2689 Yes, they have a 20/20 vision, not 200/200, meaning they have human eyes and, as NGT pointed out, eyewitness testimony is the lowest form of evidence in science, whether they're coming from a homeless man in the street or from a Navy pilot. Also one thing bugs me about these latest video "evidence" put forward by the Navy. They claim that they were experiencing these events multiple days or even weeks in a row. So you're trying to tell me that nobody thought about taking a highly powerful video camera to track these events? Nobody? All they had were heat sensors? One would think that the US Navy could spend a million dollars on a camera if necessary, to record this world changing event in a visible spectrum of an advanced video camera..
It's an interesting point. We tend to view in our own perspective on how we treat each other. But on the other side, an entire species could have evolved in their own conditions with limited species or variations in their own genetics or environment. So studying us may be like our fascination with reefs or rainforest vs say studying and arid region with less life.
I often hear of extraterrestrial beings being spiritual and/or higher or other dimensional and that a lot of them choose to help mankind. I’m not saying I’m a big believer of that but it’s just what I hear and read. Interesting thought
Before starting this video I'll say what he has to say "UFO doesn't mean Aliens"
Um have you guys not been watching the news. The pentagon has acknowledged the existence of exotic flying craft of some kind.
😂 he said the news
Because the Pentagon would never lie or spread disinformation about anything, right? Snark aside, I still want to believe...
Nothing makes it alien though just unidentified .
Can’t you see they don’t want to see. how could an intelligent reasonable scientist dismiss the MOUNTAINS of data that has been collected up to and including the photographic evidence he is so ignorantly blind to.
He does so cuz there are none who are as blind as those who refuse to see
Ok. After 8 minutes of stigma and rumbling we finally have the good stuff... 8:00 We look at the stars, planets, moons, galaxies, everything we can, even if we don't find life we are interested. The question is why wouldn't this planet be interested?. Nobody claims they study our behaivior or at least is not exclusive. 8:30 We study worms intensively, the soil and the surroundings. We even try to communicate with apes, and dolphings. So this is a cherrypicking example. 8:50 Why us? The planet is way bigger than us. 9:00 there are thousends if not millions of videos and photos that are disregarded because of stigma and, sure, lots of fakes, that nobody cares or investigates the ones that might be true. It's not true that there are not there. 10:20 This is a proof of how little research and how fast you are in jumping into conclusions you are. Most, if not all, abductions reports are not a happy meeting drinking tea freealy, it's not like hey ET can I stream your craft. 10:45 Finally the good good stuff UFO is unindetified, we don't know what it if. The fact that we don't know what it is not evidence that we know what it isn't. 10:50 First thing I agree with. We need more data, sadly stigma and cover-ups make it hard. Scientist like you have huge telescopes looking far away galaxies, but not a single one in our skies. Science should research out of curiosity at least. But they don't. The stigmatize just like in this video. 15:00 We don't have even great pictures of Titan or Europa with the most expensive tools in science, but you expect a person to record an alien and craft with an iphone. Don't ask public to give you evidence, you are the scient, you give us (oh wait, you don't even try). 16:00 Wow, stigma again. Yes Neil, they only revel to the navy, there is literally no other video, photo, report since Roswell to the present day. There are only 3 videos. It is not that the Navy might have better tools than an Iphone. Very serious. Bring them on you say, why don't you help dissclasifing everything the DoD has. Pressure. 17:00 The goverment is good enough keeping secrets, but we have leaks, that's the expected result of an organized incompetence. 18:00 Google Earth has no resolution in the skies, is pretty silly that that would be the most scientific tool you could mention. Telescopes are pointing at the stars. It's funny that the first to say Aliens is you, when we were talking about UFOs. That's one of the reasons I think you are part of the problem. You have to be part of the solution. Where is the SETI-UAP ? Google Earth is not it.
These 2 Brothers are AMAZING!!!!!
I saw a Triangle craft 100ft above my friends house in 2003 that was completely silent and just sitting there. We had no idea when it arrived and we stopped throwing a football and looked up at it then at each other and asked "Are we really seeing this?" We stood there a moment frozen and in the middle of the craft there was a pulse and the craft shot straight up out of view. There was no wind, sound, shockwave, it was just gone. I remember seeing a almost orange glow coming from each corner of the craft and it was completely smooth except for markings on the side. We didn't feel a presence of life and figured the craft was unmanned and there for surveillance. But we were also 12 so it was more confusing than exciting we just kinda lost interest when it left and didn't really talk about it because people thought we were making it up.
That sounds just like the lights over Phoenix that I and 10,000 other people saw in 1997. Dr. Tyson is sadly misinformed and closed minded about aliens.

Knowledge, a flame illuminating the night, Guiding each one to their own vision, their own tale. Open-mindedness, a precious key, To approach the world with a curious soul. In the labyrinth of ideas and choices, Reason intertwines with emotions. May our thoughts intertwine in search of harmony, Beyond beliefs, towards infinite wisdom.

possible, even with the relative rarity of planets that are capable of developing life - but if there are, they are incredibly far away and unlikely to be able to visit us... for one their radioshell should hit us way before any craft of theirs would ever reach us, simply because thats how physics work even with FTL travel, assuming that its possible... they would have to go straight in the right direction with their exploration to overtake their radioshell...

NASA - ASAN - SATAN is a lying creation of the satanic earth system we are in right now. We never went to the moon, all the moon landing records were "mysteriously lost" and the copies were "corrupted". The idea of space is to give up on God and make us think of ourselves as meaningless little details in endless space, when the opposite is true. Also, you represent the demons - 'aliens' - as the 'superior race' for us, when the opposite is true. Have you noticed that all 'space shuttles' always tilt down after a while, none of them keep going up after launch? Lies and deception, everything. Christ made us and looks at us every day.

What if the aliens used to show up more frequently, because humans haven't had enough devices to record, but now that we do, aliens are hiding better or they just left? ;)
Problem is when people do record these ufos people like these two just instantly dismiss it and make fun of it. Sure, it's hard to believe.. until you see it with your own eyes. Once you do see a ufo with your own eyes then these two jokers become the nuts. Normal people are dismissed because it seems only when people like Neil say ufos are real, then it's credible. Just shows how blind the human race is, probably better ufos don't become real because most people couldn't handle it.
