I think the propulsion system is based on a thought I have. The CMBR is consistent throughout the universe. At 2.72K, dark matter is in superconductor state. Light passes through dark matter and generates the CMBR. Light has to be a specific luminocity and after it passes through dark matter, it is stretched into redshift. Using the CMBR, Planck Constant & E=mc^2, DM mass calculates to 1.181 X 10^-39 kg. Dark matter fills the void in the electron cloud and is the glue that binds it. (The weak force) Dark matter is more tightly bound in the nucleus, therefore the strong force. Dark matter is responsible for electricity (the electromagnetic force) And, Dark matter generates the CMBR, and is the fabric of space that moves the galaxies. We do not have 4 fundamental forces, we have 1 fundamental force that we observe in 5 configurations or states.

We didn't know of any technology at the time that could fly like that. It was incredibly fast, and moved abruptly, changing angles, and then was gone. Cell phones, even in our hands, would not have been fast enough to capture it before it was gone. We assumed it was a secret military craft, with technology that we were not familiar with.

1. I appreciate David taking this seriously instead of just chuckling and mocking. 2. David says he doesn’t have a clearance; perhaps the lead of the panel should have a clearance so they can look at all the data. 3. Regarding the question of why “every image is classified”, which isn’t true, when they are classified (I say this coming from 30 years in the Intelligence Community (IC)) it is most often “to protect sources and methods”. For example there is radar data, but the nation does not want our adversaries to know how well (or poorly) it works. There are documented cases of sources, in this case people, being identified as spies by adversaries and killed because a picture that leaked was traced to the source. 4. It’s more than a stigma. Even reporting an unknown flashing light can and has caused flight surgeons to ground pilots - not just a stigma, but a loss of livelihood. 5. I suggest starting with the “Tic Tac” incident. Happened in daylight and perfect flying conditions, was visually observed by six people (3 pilots, 3 WSOs, from three different aircraft with different perspectives), was seen on multiple sensor types (human visual, camera visual, IR, and radar) from multiple platforms (3 F-18s, USS Nimitz, USS Princeton an Aegis cruiser with one of the most sophisticated radars, and an E-2 Hawkeye), reportedly actively jammed one aircraft (technically an act of war), appeared to have insight into our systems (it moved to the CAP point of the operation), and exhibited no means of propulsion and moved at near hypersonic speed. (Again, I like David, but the lead needs a clearance and should see all the data. It also took place in 2004, 3 years before the first iPhone FYI. 6. The Gambler’s Fallacy: just because there have been many debunked incidents, does not imply this one is wrong and the laughter at the subject tells me that a biased view has been normalized. 7. I’m definitely not saying this is alien in origin, not at all. I am saying that scientific rigor and national security suggests this should be investigated seriously. Being a huge Carl Sagan fan Neil will probably know the quote better than my recollection, but didn’t Carl say we should investigate such things even if we think it is ludicrous (and it was in context of UFOs)? I am highly skeptical of 99% of UAPs, but there are enough odd events happening that warrant investigation - and please don’t tell me it’s swamp gas or ball lightening.

"Tell military HD cams exist" - military does have HD content (e.g Senators see them behind the scenes). As discussed, military is inteterested in not revealing those images and capabilities, and they release a lower quality image on purpose.

I believe the content of this video helps to increase the stigma around those who do sightings of unidentified objects as pilots. The attitude of science is to collect data and experiment, not to spend most of the time laughing at other people who may naively have a credulous attitude.

As a person whom had the experience of seeing a very fast moving object similar to the one in the “tic-tac” video (I don’t have F16 cameras for of eyes), I find it disheartening that some respected scientists spend more time looking at camera glitches and all other potential issues with equipment rather than trying to take it slightly more serious when so many believable witnesses are reporting the same matter while nuking they’re on carriers in doing so.

Lt Ryan Graves, in 2014 stated, "We were trying to figure out what the heck these things were. We were seeing them pretty much daily. We would go out there and they would be out there in the morning, they would be out there in the evening." Of course, the military would be very interested in the technology, so how are we to believe that they haven't rigged jets with imaging devices that can gather incredible images, video and other critical data.

These objects are primarily entering/exiting the atmosphere over the ocean. And they create no wind drag somehow, so no thermal radiation to pick up with cameras easily at sea level. This is the main reason these things are so interesting. They run colder than ambient air while flying... It would probably have to be a observation point from orbit to see the reflected sunlight.

And then worked as an air traffic controller for 25 years, during which I saw many odd sights either while looking out of the tower windows or observing on radar.

The stigma against people reporting UAP comes from our nature, culture and leaders. The age old notion that we are the center of the universe is still at play. Consider these events and how the people were treated. Frank Mannor - Dexter, Michigan, USA 1966 (harassed by community) Andrew Greenwood - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 1966 (threatened by officials) Kenju Terauchi - Alaska, USA 1980 (temporarily reassigned to desk job) Also look at The Phoenix Lights in 1997 and the Chicago O'Hara Airport flying saucer 2006 to see how institutions and people in positions of authority reacted. These are just a few examples but there are very many cases of people silenced or suffering because they said what they saw. That's slowly changing for the better.

Very interesting conversation! It was great to hear from dr Spergel, especially on the topic of national safety, very important points. Just a little thing I've been meaning to say to dr Tyson in light of the recent events, and please let me preface it by saying 2 things: 1. I do not personally believe those reports to indicate aliens either. I'm not from the hype circle, although I sure am curious to know what these things are (or aren't)! 2. I've been a long-time fan, and I really appreciate what you do for the widely understood popular science in social media, kindling curiosity (reviving Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series - brilliant!) - in my humble opinion it's one of the most honorable things we can do as scientists and science enthusiasts (cognitive sci bachelor here, hey :D). This is important moving forward in my comment below. What I've been meaning to say, and I hope I can express myself correctly, is that there seems to be a certain amount of what I've been struggling to avoid calling ridicule coming across in many of the recent discussions on this topic. That 'vibe' also present in Startalk's episodes on UAPs, while of course fitting the comedy-popsci format of the show and bringing some laughs, does several - I believe unintentional, but very unfortunate - things: It increases the gap between the seekers (people who want to try to understand something) and the explainers, that is figures like yourself, who have the specific knowledge of stuff we laymen might not even realize half of what we don't know about (courtesy of the Dunning-Kruger effect) solidly grounded in the scientific method. By that I mean it carries that unfortunate element of ostracism where it's not ok to have a different starting point of view on things, because one will be laughed at and the discussion will be over with a nil result, with no encouragement to go further and look deeper, which seems to go against what I've been taught by my alma mater. Again, this is not about who's right or wrong or whether aliens have or haven't visited us. I'm sure if you're anything like me, you'd LOVE to see or talk to aliens, you'd be absolutely extatic to find out that here, yes, demonstrably we are not alone in the universe, the whole thing is greater than we thought (or just AS great as we imagined!), share the technological and cultural achievements etc. I'm saying this to touch base, and to signal I'm on the same side of cautious skepticism when it comes to the recent situation. But: While there are many who just slap the alien label on stuff very willingly, come any shape of semi-credible testimony or second-hand witness material, to satisfy their (powerful, as we know) confirmation bias, there are people in that same community who genuinely, sincerely wish to see this thing under the magnifying glass of science, who look to scientific figures of authority such as yourself, and want to see there a willing conversationalist, who - as he was academically trained - looks at ALL the categories of the presented material (not to say 'evidence' yet), avoiding cherrypicking, patiently explaining all the bits and bobs of WHY something doesn't classify as proof, of what exactly would be required to make it so. Instead of repeating a catchphrase about fuzzy aliens for example, why not do a detailed look into what might have caused 2 navy officers to testify that an unknown shape appeared between their crafts? What possible phenomena could explain such an event (if it was an alien craft, what could it be doing there, and how?), or what could motivate people to conjure up such claims in high stress environments? I'm talking deep-dive! I know very intelligent people who happen to be part of that community, who want to explore these phenomena and see what there is to learn about them (and the US and other countries' government's politics regarding said reports). People with interest in - say - the military technology, and a good dose of common scientific knowledge, while not being scientists themselves. These people sadly turn away from your content, because of the ridicule I've mentioned, and the lack of multi-layered approach, whereby we would consider some "what if"s for example, or talk about what would need to happen for it to demonstrably BE aliens, and why it is so. I just think the discussion around this topic needs a bit of work in order to make it a more constructive environment - while again I don't think we're looking at aliens here, I just sincerely believe that those who happen to exercise that possible scenario in their minds shouldn't be thrown in the same bag as the conspiracy theorists who deny hard scientifc facts. I hope my little essay here will not cause any grief on either side of the fence, I just wanted to voice my opinion on the importance of how science communicators' input in such discussions might shape future discourse, how we should strive to remain kind and open to one another, and go through those interesting times as colleagues in curiosity, emphasizing the crucial aspects of good science and discovery, while maintaining a healthy discourse regime that encourages both sides to actively listen to one another, with respect, even when faced with extraordinary claims :) Keep looking up!

I agree, most of the UAP are BS, but as a scientist he would have a sceptic view like he proposed. I saw in another video one lady scientist was citing the search of fish in one glass of water from ocean as example of life in universe. That should be the way of communicating ideas.

“Kirkpatrick described these perplexing encounters in greater detail as he presented footage of a “metallic,” “spherical orb” recorded by a surveillance drone in the Middle East. Referring to the object in the video, Kirkpatrick stated, “this is a typical example of the thing that we see most of. We see these [‘metallic orbs’] all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent maneuvers.” Kirkpatrick’s comments should have immediately piqued the scientific curiosity of every individual in the room. How, after all, can spherical objects, lacking wings or apparent means of propulsion, remain stationary or travel at the speed of sound? Moreover, how could they conduct such remarkable maneuvers without emitting any heat signature?” From AARO

Scientists don't think they are anything yet. What evidence has been put forth to be evaluated as support of aliens? Or ANYTHING else, for that matter? Scientists don't jump to conclusions and immediately demand to fill in the blanks in their misunderstanding or lack of understanding because scientists are trained to recognize where the limits of human knowledge are and make it their career to outline those boundaries as transparently as possible. That means not jumping to ANY conclusions if data are insufficient. Unless you have some REALLY good evidence you're hiding, you can't blame them.

So what would said phone app have as features? - Image capture at full raw resolution - Full metadata capture including GMT, location, angle, GPS location including elevation, Star field, temperature - data encryption - upload to central server with user account and classification - broadcast alerts for those in proximity to participate - possible those in trajectory The point made of fuzzy images being ambiguous is very relevant - perhaps the alert could engage those with high end automated telescopes to immediately home to the area of interests. Nothing is better than a big lense and hires camera. Unistellar has a network for its automated EVScope users. Connect with that.

A group of 4 recently graduated HS students in the mountains of Colorado very far up a trail from Meredelith (no cell service) is shown a lighshow from space at 2am that they could only see because they just put out the campfire. They seem to be stars moving at impossible speeds and then splitting up into patterns that aren't possible to replicate from that distance, directly over their campfire. All denied it at first, but as the stars started to move and come together repeatedly, everyone agreed that it's very incredible. Seemed to be purposefully targeted at their group of 4, nobody else in any direction would be able to see them, and the stars seemed to shoot thousands of miles toward just their campfire before dancing back up. They were very alone up the trail and very much alone for miles and miles. The stars would appear to actually be in our atmosphere or very close, then they would shoot towards the group of 4, 3 at a time, and dance backward again. Aliens must know that their group couldn't have been legitimate whisle blowers, their cameras could barely see stars, if it was aliens then they had to have known that. They showed them just enough for every one of them to really believe it was very much aliens, then they came together into what looked like one star and turned off the shimmering rainbow lights and once again disappeared, we all knew they were still up there. Cole frantically asked me to take a picture after I suggested that people have been claiming to see ufos in this area, and I told him right away that the camera wouldn't be able to see it.

Hello Dr In this rapidly evolving age of technology, Dr. Tyson, you stand as a fascinating paradox, and I don't mean this as an affront. It's an undeniable truth. In our present world, there's a single question that holds paramount importance: are we existing within a simulation? The veracity of all your equations, all your facts, they could potentially crumble if this reality is, indeed, simulated. The concept of simulation theory was once easy to dismiss, but the rise of advanced AI in this era has thrown a new light on it. Every technological advancement reshapes the way humans perceive and narrate their world. You've been focusing on the intricacies, the fragments of this grand puzzle, while perhaps missing the essence of the whole mechanism. Consider this analogy: Imagine a handful of your followers read and appreciate my comment. This comment gains significance, it takes root in the minds of people. Now, picture someone copying this comment and sharing it on another platform, where it goes viral. What goes viral may vary, but let's assume this comment aligns with the majority's viewpoint. If it does go viral, it suddenly forms a direct conduit to you. Reciting facts and presuming oneself to be an expert isn't fundamentally different from being able to hotwire a car and calling oneself an engineer. The point is, we must expand our perspective beyond fragments and embrace the intricate interplay of the whole system.

There's a saying in Western medicine: "If you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It refers to the tendency of (usually new) doctors to see a set of symptoms that could either be some mundane ailment or a rare exotic disease, and immediately gravitate toward that rare illness as the diagnosis. It also applies to UFO/UAP matters. If you see something you can't identify that's maneuvering quickly, and you eliminate the possibility of it being image artifacts, etc, and know that something is actually there, but you tend to only see it in military operations areas, think spy drones, not aliens.

This does not negate the simplicity of the fact: there are UFOs - such secret espionage equipment (flying saucers, triangles, cigars - with glowing zones, plasma propulsion panels). This technology was launched in the USA in the 40s of the twentieth century, now it is available in many places (in China, in the Russian Federation, in oligarchic and criminal structures). To cover up, the special services have been spreading various misinformation for 70 years, producing myths and fakes. It is necessary to know about it, these are elementary facts. Of course, these facts, as such, do not exclude - neither aliens, time travelers, guests from parallel spaces, otherworldly dark forces, etc. You can play ufologically with these UFOs, but believe me: espionage technology is in the first place in this phenomenon. The US Congress has already begun to declassify it little by little, but they are afraid of lawsuits and other claims of deceived ordinary people.😘😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😅😗😗😗😗😗

That's great, now please provide a reasonable explanation to what my father in law saw along with another coworker: the setting is near the Merced River at Gallo Winery around 4am while taking a smoke (tobacco) break in the grape fields adjacent to to the river. I'll be brief. Bright light in the sky begins to approach them. Comes within 100ft of them. It lands in the river. They are looking directly at it. It's a metalic disk with an array of windows around the circumference. They eminate light from within but cannot see anyone or any feature inside. Craft then lifts above the trees and shoots off completely silent at all times. The tree branches sway. They feel a breeze reach them and they heard a "swoosh" as it left. There was a vapor trail left behind that was lingering and still slightly visible as the dawn broke. What could that have been?

Some of the images we've seen are grainy because we are looking at forward looking infrared camera footage.

A commercial pilot, a military pilot, and a scientist walk into a bar….

o.0 Looking forward to this. Brb after watching this video 🙂 *1st Edit* First thoughts, we have to remember Cellphones won't and now can't be the answer. See thanks to gimmics that Samsung (who decided to put AI that "improved" / Faked photos of the moon you take) to emulate or make the photos look "more like you expect a photo of a moon to look" - Into their phones without telling anyone about it. Apple isn't free of guilt here as they are forcing tech that will automatically Zoom in on anything the AI thinks is a QR code now, and also have admitted having forms of AI on the phone modify photos to "improve them" - So we can't rely on this because one could correctly state that if Cellphone companies are modifying the Moon and other objects with AI on the phone itself - It would be possible they can or already do have such AI purposely Censoring things Government(s) don't want you taking photos or sharing. This is what happens when you secretly do stuff to peoples technology without us knowing and it leaks out or has to be admitted while products are out there, you fuel the conspiracy Real or Not.

Talk with pilots and you will find the classic mistaken depth perception issue is a common thing in humans... to the degree we train pilots to fly by instrument because eyes can be fooled pretty easy.
