See Neil DeGrasse Tyson Debunk 'Alien Believers' After Biden Pentagon's UFO Report 

I keep forgetting my phone has a camera

Although, the news stations were showing several videos, recorded by multiple citizens, on the night of the Phoenix Lights. I remember seeing this in Los Angeles. The very next day...Nothing. No follow up news report. No discussion. Coincidence? I think not.

Instead, MUCH better 35mm film cameras were fairly ubiquitous.... (Not as common as Cellphone cameras, but certainly in 20% of households)

@@mattfinleylive Problem is people wouldn't be carrying those on their person all the time, everywhere they go. Even professional photographers would've had to go back to their cars to retrieve them. Fairly ubiquitous doesn't compare with now, which would be "completely covered." We're far better equipped to snapshot or video UFOs than we've ever been. Unfortunately, we're also very well-equipped to fake them.

Exactly! But there was some video from a news network I believe and also the governor came out years later admitting he also saw the lights

@@linlaodenis2933 F-15 superhornet pilots can tell the difference between wool and a significant object. The telemetry alone from their radar systems would debunk that at the time of the encounter. It doesn’t make sense that we’re seeing abundant evidence of these craft from established modes of observation and acting as if they’re not real.

These things are real and they may also be ours, but the real question is where did the technology come from?? Officially anti gravity technology does not exist in known physics?

@@rodbutler8069, I've always thought that there are 2 types of gravity, Micro & Macro, and it would easy to manipulate them both.

Yep, Exactly. I just commented something similar above and hadn't seen your comment yet. You're spot on though.

Yep!

I can't thumbs up this comment enough. It is insanely difficult to take a high quality image of something small at a great distance. A 30ft object at a mile is grainy even in 4k.

@@timothyhingham3672 Apparently most debunkers do not care about the truth so much. Their moto is to debunk and they do not check all aspects of the data. The most decent researcher in UFOlogy that did his job right was Stanton Friedman. It is a serious subject that must be taken seriously.

@@eytansuchard8640 Yes, Stan's recent demise has been a great loss to the UFO community. We need WAY more scientists with his courage and openmindedness to speak out for the cause of truth.

Humans are wearing hubris blinders and always have.

More like: Would you go into an insane asylum where they carry guns?

Fair point. I’ve known several raccoons and been on friendly terms. Not sure I would trust them to drive my car, or watch my house, or even share an apple for lunch.

@@michellegaylord6142 I agree 100%. Think about what the human enterprise is doing right now. Look at the changes in the oceans, the climate, the entire biosphere really, and ask yourself "Is this really an intelligent species or is it just a self-deluded species that is high on its own hubris?" If you saw all that, would YOU want to talk to us? I wouldn't. I'd come back after humans have destroyed themselves in a few generations.

So aliens are more likely than hardware failure or the many problems of eye witnesses? Look up Ockham's Razor. We know hardware fails, we also know eyewitnesses are unreliable. Going for ALIENZ might be fun, but it's hardly demonstrative of even the most basic logical thinking skills.

@@nunyabidness9895 you definitely voted for Sleepy Joe. Easy to spot.

@@jimmer1047 only a trumper is dumb enough to believe this is aliens.

@J there have been multiple eyewitnesses who saw things with their eyeballs as well as their sensors. At least 4 in the Nimitz case alone (two pilots, two WSOs. Plus another pilot that only saw the whitewater under the tictac as he was flying away). Two pilots in in the Roosevelt case didn't see anything on their sensors but saw a cube in a sphere go between the planes (either they split around it or it shot between their planes). The fact that they didn't see anything on their sensors is actually bad news for the Navy.

@@micah7492 LOLOLOLOL it was easy.

Nahw, just people not mistaking their own curiosity for fact.

@@lrrrruleroftheplanetomicro6881 I don’t see any curiosity expressed by the scientist interviewed. When something is observed by credible witnesses and you spend most of your time saying it’s not actually observed due to glitches that the credible witnesses have a due process to filter out and avoid, then you are just actively trying to maintain your own world view. And that’s fine, if you are a lay person. I would expect a different reaction from a scientist. Just my opinion. There is a point at which we should all say hey, maybe there is still more to discover and understand about our world and what we observe in nature. There are actually scientists doing just that. If something is being observed in nature and a scientist turns a blind eye to it, and says nothing to see here, I already know everything there is to know, I don’t really feel particularly compelled by that scientist.

@@Livingrentfreeinyomind77 healthy skepticism is not the same as lack of curiosity. He's a professional, he knows not to let what he wants to be true to cloud his judgment.

@@TheKrstff the thing is no one wants it to be any one thing or the other. The people bringing this to light are just saying hey we don’t know what this is and should investigate it. If you listen carefully to what they say they don’t jump to conclusions about what it is - but I think it’s fairly normal to offer possibilities of what it could be based on how officials have described it, until we get more and better evidence from those who have it. Saying let’s wait for more and better evidence is different from essentially saying this is stupid don’t bother me with it, I don’t care.

@J I think our imagination gets the best of us. If there were no movies involving aliens would we still look at those images the same way.Hollywood has a huge influence on our perception of life as we know it.

@@bolochongli9267 nobody cares

To debunk something you have to have a better answer. Where is it?

@@vernpascal1531 he just told you that Alien life has not been proven. He has debunked that this is not definite proof. That is his point. Try and take that away and have a lie down maybe.

@@vernpascal1531 So, why do you think these are aliens? Why do you ignore other explanations? Please understand that aliens are the LEAST LIKELY explanation for these anomalies. There are many reasons why: 1. The size of the universe prohibits interstellar travel. 2. IF a civilization achieved interstellar travel, it would still take far too long to be useful. Any meaningful travel would still take thousands of years. 3. The chances of aliens discovering us is incredibly unlikely. We are technological infants and have barely made a splash in the ocean of stars. We've only had radio communication capabilities for roughly a century and our signals haven't traveled far enough to be of any consequence. 4. IF a civilization discovered us, they'd need to travel faster than light to reach us. Not to mention, they'd have to be close enough to see us, not dinosaurs. As far as we know, matter cannot be accelerated to exceed the speed of light. There is a reason photons are massless... 5. Why would they be interested in us? Even if they were interested, why would they spend the past ~70 years abducting people and killing livestock and flying around the skies at night with their lights on?!?! It's ridiculous. For the time and effort required for their studies, you'd think they'd have gathered everything they need by now... There are other points, but I'll keep it short. The conclusion is this: If you apply Occam's razor to the situation, it becomes very clear that any number of explanations would be more appropriately applied to these phenomena than the notion that visitations by extra terrestrials have been occurring for nearly a century, which have left no evidence whatsoever... Unless you consider ridiculous stories and fuzzy images/videos to be good evidence. It's so funny how "The Grays" didn't exist until they were introduced into popular culture, and then "everyone" started "seeing" them.

@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE thank god there’s someone here who can think logically. I swear about 95% of people aren’t even understanding what NDT is saying lmao.

He says "Go catch the aliens!" Yeah at FTL velocity sure Tyson, sure. Wish they would stop asking him anything about the phenomena.

Who, NDT? For being rational? How do you figure?

@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE he is the catholic church who refuses to look through galileos telescope.

@@MrBrainneeded Haha, not at all! That's an awful analogy, because NDT isn't basing his conclusion on his religious convictions. He's more like Galileo because he is sticking with science while others are, very cultishly, sticking to an unsubstantiated alien narrative.

@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE mh kind of disagree. you have a point with the traditional science, but he clearly lacks of a certain curiosity. For his explanation of those videos, he isolates them completly from the eyewitness acounts and from the radar data just to ridicule those who want to have a closer look at those images of the video. He is accusing dozens if not hundreds of people of lying just that he can explain away those images as a sensor failure. Maybe you got another one, with the unsubstantiated alien narrative. Okay therefore we clearly lack of hard data cause we probably havent seen those entities, but have we seen images of the molten part of the earth? We dont have images of the boundary layer where the continents slip away on top of that molten earth. But do we call plate tectonic an unsubstantiated theory? I mean sometimes sensor data is enough to proof extraodinary claims. If you dig deeper in the current investigations you'll see that it more and more becomes unlikely that they are manmade, just by looking at the sensor data. Thats why i think he lacks of this special kind of curiosity, to think the unthinkabe, like the plate tectonic. His explanation of whole fleets having collectiv hallucinations and to the same time multiple sensors have malfunctions on the same lat/lon-coordinates is equally wacky. Hope you could understand me, I'm not a native speaker. Have a good one :)

@@MrBrainneeded I appreciate your candid honesty and your willingness to concede certain points. However, the core of the Earth and plate tectonics have been studied for a long time and have hard data to back them up. I agree that there are tons of eyewitness accounts and stories and even some (extremely poor quality) pictures and videos of unidentified phenomena in the skies, which many people immediately link to aliens. I think NDT is basically just saying, "We don't know what they are, but we also have no evidence they are anything more than what they appear to be." Speculation is fine, but for people to claim he isn't curious isn't accurate...I mean, he's a scientist, so he's automatically more grounded and curious than most people. He also understands how important it is to approach everything rationally, so he doesn't let his imagination or bias dictate his conclusions. People just don't seem to understand how unlikely alien visitations are. The universe is incomprehensibly vast, and that alone limits interstellar travel. Even at the speed of light, it would take thousands of years for us to travel anywhere meaningful, as our lifespans are incredibly short on a cosmic scale. When I say meaningful, I mean anywhere that is beyond our immediate field of view, which would appear as much older versions through our telescopes, due to the excruciatingly slow speed of light. We already know much about nearby stars and planetary systems, so we'd want to shoot for much further stars if we wanted to discover anything of consequence. Also, people assume aliens of equal or higher technological capabilites exist in the same sliver of time that we do. The universe is billions of years old and there's no good reason to believe civilizations would exist simultaneously while being so close to each other (which they would have to be). Of course, they could, but in order for a civilization to find us, they'd almost have to know we're here, since all they would see with their telescopes (or equivalent technology) would likely be dinosaurs, or some other period before we existed. They wouldn't pick up any of our signals, because we've only been using radios for about a century. That leaves chance, and the odds of them stumbling upon us is astronomically low (pardon the pun). Of course, they could be here, but a thinking person would need far more evidence before jumping on the bandwagon. Im not saying it would be impossible for aliens to have the means to reach us, but like I said, they'd realistically have to already know about us. Also, physics suggest that FTL travel is not possible, and we're as close to certain on that as we can be. So unless alien lifespans are thousands or even millions of years, they'd probably have little interest in visiting our planet. I hope you take care as well.

Life on this planet, yes .. intelligent life, not so much....

@@linlaodenis2933 , I don't believe that aliens visited us, but you don't need to post the same comment over and over.

Flat Earthers could also use that dismissive argument

Thats on a screen of an IR camera , you cant see anything when flying in speed of sound ... like with cars at 100 mph everything is blur on side of you , imagine now flying 1000 mph , you travel half a mile in time whats your normal reaction time , and you cant see small object , like birds , half a mile away . What your eyes see is what your brain thinks its seeing ... not seeing the gorilla on the screen test , its good example , gorilla is there but people wont see it . Camera hardware is shutter , lens , dead pixels in the sensor , is there dirt or damages outside or inside a.s.o

Eyeballs arent reliable for identifying things. They can identify that some thing is present, but not always what it is. In court, eyewitness testimony, especially descriptions of strangers, is very flawed. Optical illusions are a thing for a reason, to exploit this flaw in our perception and reasoning.

NDT is using logic. Not just guesses. The "eyes on" are not accurate assessments obviously. NDT knows the science behind what it would take for them to be alien craft. It is extremely unlikely for a variety of reasons.

​@@DaveCM Neil is using logical guesses. Scientifically, no one knows what these objects are, or how likely or unlikely they are to be alien.

I said it wasn’t before, but it is now because hopefully it would be more convincing. The point is he won’t believe until someone caught an alien as Will Smith did in Independence Day.

Go catch one, do it. You'll make history. You'll be famous. I'll wait.

@Ro Baas Yes, it's obvious that we don't know what they are.

Agree Andrew!

I think it's pretty clear that these things are non human technology. The most compelling piece of evidence is the technology itself (which has been officially acknowledged to exist). I mean these things literally break our physics as we know them, it is clearly at least a thousand years ahead of us probably much more. Before you say it's Russian or chinese remember these things have been seen since the 1940s. People seem to think the 2004 Nimitz encounter was the first time a UFO has been seen but really it's just the first that is being taken seriously because its impossible to just dismiss as swamp gas and crazy people hallucinating. I think it's even more insane to think that America, Russia or China have not only made this incredible leap in technology but have managed to keep it secret for over 70 years and that doesn't make any sense cause if they had this world changing technology they would definitely use it.

@Frank Marano I too have done a lot of research in this subject the reason being I once saw something I couldn't explain, it wasn't as far fetched as some other peoples accounts but was still enough to trigger my interest. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions saying it's aliens that's why I just said I think it's not human technology after all it could be interdimensionals, intraterrestrial or time travellers (or maybe even all of the above). I just think that aliens is the hypothesis that best fits the evidence especially when you consider the countless accounts of alien body's. And who says we haven't detected them? Just because the government says they haven't seen any evidence to suggest it's alien doesn't mean they're telling the truth. After all they've been lying about it for over 70 yrs and are only just now being forced to admit that the phenomenon is real, it's obvious that some people in the government don't want this stuff in the public eye and are still doing what they can to down play the subject.

Debunking is the right term. You cannot prove a negative, but debunkers can show that the evidence is lacking.

Yep. If we're following the scientific method to find out, there is volumes of observational evidence, some physical evidence, but we can't really test the ET hypothesis until we have a body or one of them comes up to someone important who records it and shake hands then submits itself for scientific study for confirmation.

Not really impossible, but it's the least likely explanation of any possible explanation

@@lordfarquaad5358 Not really. A. If your gonna use the Report, they say not US Tech. Therefore Foreign or Other...other means non-human or not of this world.

​@@Soonerking The ET hypothesis is the most likely explanation as being correct, just difficult to prove conclusively.

@Moon Shine I'm not claiming aliens don't exist! I don't know why people assume that's what skeptics are implying. I think it's extremely likely that other civilizations exist, I just don't think they're casually visiting Earth. Interstellar travel is an absolutely insane concept. The universe is prohibitively massive and traveling between stars would take an absurd amount of time. Sure, science fiction makes it sound like a non-issue by assuming that FTL travel is the solution, and it works fine for works of fiction, but in reality, it would require an obscene amount of energy to accelerate even the smallest object to those speeds. There's a reason photons are massless and are the only particles that can achieve the speed of....light. The chances of two civilizations existing at the same time and being in relative close proximity is extremely unlikely. Even more unlikely are the chances any two civilizations would cross paths. They'd honestly have to find us by chance, because it's not like any of our radio signals have traveled far enough to be of any consequence...we're technological infants.

He’s creating an ad hoc hypothesis to try to explain the radar data while ignoring correlated visual data; both the sightings by pilots and the flir data. It’s ludicrous. We’re not talking about just some glitch in the radar. When the radar, the aviators, and the flir camera are all tracking the same object simultaneously, then it’s obviously not just a glitch in the radar. Someone needs to teach these guys about epistemology.

@@cqtaylor Not thinking? Uh no. There just isn't anything here to think about. When videos the UFO cultists are promoting are turning out to be birds and airplanes? Who has the time to think about the deluded people who believe?

Maybe not, but it can be tricked into seeing something that's not there by other means: "The aspect of the technology that raises eyebrows, however, is the use of laser-induced plasma filaments to create floating images in the air. According to the patent document: “...it is possible to generate a 2D or 3D volumetric image in space. This is analogous to the rastering of an electron beam in a cathode ray tube based television. In one potential embodiment, a laser system would be mounted on the back of an air vehicle such that the beam can be rastered using optics and mirrors to generate a large ‘ghost’ image in space. This ‘ghost’ image would appear to detract the homing missile away from the tangible air vehicle." The patent does not make any mention of using plasma filaments to fool anything other than missile seekers. That having been said, the ability to draw objects in the sky would seemingly account for one aspect of the UFO sightings reported by the U.S. Navy in 2004 and 2014-2015. It might be possible to draw the “tic tacs” and “spheres encased in a cube” sighted by the U.S. Navy. As Forbes points out “it is unlikely the Pentagon would release videos of their own secret weapon in a bizarre double bluff. But other nations may have their own version.” (from Popular Mechanics May 2020)

@@photonboy999 There is most certainly a debate. There is plenty of affirmative literature to strongly suggest non-human visitation on Earth, among other hypotheses. Nobody can make definitive conclusions when peer review cannot have the opportunity to thrive in this subject, because it isn't considered a genuine field of study at universities. Why don't you read up on Carl Sagan's university classmate, Stanton Friedman? (nuclear physicist, who went on to have a more interesting career, in my view). Sagan was far more interested in UFOs than you know.

@King DJ The relevance being that this report directly associates unknown craft with the 5 observable characteristics and it's relationship with national security in America. Any intellectual with any integrity would then read any or all relevant literature. Dolan, Oxford educated, wrote 3 history volumes of ufos and the national security state. Tyson has not done his due diligence, at all, and so his opinion means less, if anything, at all.

@@photonboy999 They’re making a fundamental epistemological error in demanding that pure scientific principles be adhered to in studying this phenomenon. People keep wanting to apply the standards of scientific methodology to this subject when it’s essentially not appropriate. Science was developed to help us understand the natural world, with it’s regular, repeatable forces and processes. Given that what people are seeing are described to be structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that are impossible by known physics and aerodynamics and appear to be intelligently controlled, we have to assume there is intelligent intention behind these craft; and thus are not natural phenomenon following the predictable laws of nature. Put more simply, given the apparent nature of the phenomenon, it’s reasonable to assume that such technology isn’t going to “naturally” be left for us to find; “scientific proof” will not be forthcoming as if we were studying plate tectonics or biological functions. Therefore the question isn’t, “do they exist?” The question is, “is there enough evidence to warrant serious research?” Although it is true that we do not have the kind of evidence that can prove the existence of the phenomenon in such a way that satisfies consensus, we have to keep in mind that evidence that does not provide proof is still evidence that can contribute to increasing the probability of a given hypothesis being correct and of such phenomenon existing. It’s not an either/or equation. Science is not a simple polemic with only two bifurcatory choices. When multiple lines of evidence converge, it greatly increases the probability that evidence supports an hypothesis; even when none of those lines of evidence can provide a crucial test to constitute what would be considered proof. For example, before the science of genetics was discovered, which allowed us to understand the actual mechanisms involved in how evolution works, the theory of evolution was not technically proven. There were many supporting lines of evidence that greatly increased the probability that the theory was correct, but there was little in the way of direct proof that could demonstrate the actual mechanisms involved until genetics became understood (the closest direct proof was Mendeleev’s experiments; but since it applied only to seed types, it was unknown how it applied to other organisms). In the case of UAPs, the sheer volume of evidence requires that we take the subject seriously and seek additional evidence so that we can technically prove it’s existence. We can’t obtain the evidence that will prove the existence is such craft until we actually look for it and take the subject seriously. It’s impossible to find what isn’t looked for in the first place. And if we are intentionally being denied such evidence, then we have to consider indirect evidence until such time that direct evidence (constituting proof) is available. The sheer number of pilots, military personnel, police, scientists, etc. reporting witnessing craft that cannot be explained by any known conventional technology is staggering. The Japanese pilots who saw a craft the size of a small stadium in Alaska and which was correlated on radar. The many ICBM base personnel who witnessed craft at their launch sites while the missiles stopped functioning. The trucker, four police officers, and a teacher who tracked a huge triangular craft across the Midwest in successive sightings. The man who filmed a test ICBM launch for the military who stated the film showed a UFO disabling the missile in mid air. The Rendlesham Forest incident in which a craft was approached on the ground the first night, and another craft/s was seen on the second night flying through a forest and then over a field by Colonel Halt and his team while the craft sent beams of light to the ground. The film recorded by the team that Gordon Cooper was overseeing that showed a disc shaped craft land not far from the film crew. The witnessed events just go on and on. It would be one thing if people were only seeing mysterious lights in the sky from a distance, but large numbers of credible witnesses have reported seeing structured, metallic craft performing maneuvers that cannot be explained by known physics; often from fairly close distance too. It’s very difficult to ignore the mass of evidence that has accumulated over the decades. I have to ask myself: what if there is an alien civilization that has decided we’re a threat and has decided to invade us. We would be extremely remiss to ignore the evidence just because it didn’t fit our preconceptions. Note: I could go further into the probabilistic nature of scientific inquiry, but that would require an entire paper to explain. Suffice it to say, since there’s no such thing as absolute knowledge, no privileged epistemological viewpoint from which to determine the absolute correctness of any idea or hypothesis, all determinations of whether a given hypothesis in correct can be assigned a statistical value, a confidence interval if you will, that determines how well the evidence contributes towards proof. When a given hypothesis includes a crucial test, it can be said that it has a high statistical probability of being correct (that it always below 100%). If the evidence includes multiple converging lines of evidence AND a crucial test, that probability goes even higher (much closer to, but never meeting, 100%). But in lieu of a crucial test, when only multiple converging lines of evidence exist, the probability is lower (such as evolution prior to genetics being discovered), but still enough to consider a given hypothesis being correct a somewhat high likelihood. So science is often not a simple determinative process in which something is either proven or not proven; and that’s, as I noted, in a normal scientific inquiry. As stated, when evaluating a phenomenon that possibly has intelligence and intention behind it, these determinations become far more complicated and require considerations beyond normal the methodological constraints used in science. We can’t ignore evidence just because that evidence doesn’t technically prove the existence of the phenomenon due to the specific nature of the phenomenon.

(I live in Portland, Oregon now and I'm still amazed every time I see Mount Hood in the distance. ) At any rate, I'm headed to work and admiring the mountain peaks and I see a platinum colored disc hovering above one of the peaks. I pulled my car over to the side of the road, got out and looked at it. There was no exhaust coming from this metallic disc. I could see that it was solid because the sun glinted off of it.

Eventually I realized I would be late for work if I didn't get in my car and continue. It was 2008 and all I had was a crappy flip phone so there was no point in trying to take a picture. The craft didn't disappear. It just hovered above the peak. I remember telling a woman at work who I had some camaraderie with and who I trusted not to think that I was a total whack job about the experience and she just smiled and said: "Yeah, Black Mountain has been known to have several sightings. I wouldn't doubt that it was a craft". Black Mountain is fairly close to Maggie Valley... maybe a 30 minute drive? I'm not saying that the UAP had aliens inside, but it was definitely technology I had never witnessed before.

That's a great point. And that's what I was thinking. Whenever I try to take pictures, especially at night, the footage is utter garbage. Considering these things are often pretty far away, the footage will often be terrible. Those that are in the best position to record this phenomena are pilots because of how close they get to these things.

True, but the first place to look is at faulty imaging. From what I’ve read, the pilots only saw the images from their cameras. Also, it seems weird that our VERY expensive planes don’t have better optics.

None of these alleged crafts have any more flight characteristics than balloons floating at wind speed.

The US played this game with the USSR during the cold war to trick them into believing we had advanced technology they didn't. Are we playing the same game with China?

The odds of there being life on other planets is there. The odds that life is evolved and advanced, reduces the odds. The odds that they are casually visiting us is beyond miniscule, given the incredible mind boggling distances and what we understand the laws of nature to be. IE. The maximum speed that can be traveled at, the speed of light.
