Are we alone? Have aliens visited Earth? An age-old question that has been reignited by recent
declassified UFO/UAP footage and intriguing ‘whistleblower’ congressional hearings. Before jumping
to interstellar conclusions, join us as we examine the latest 'evidence' and evaluate the credibility of
these claims, seeking a grounded perspective on whether aliens have truly touched down on our
planet.

Honestly, the gov't is incentivized to keep alien conspiracy theories going. A good conspiracy is a great way to cover up something else that they don't want the public or enemy nations to know about. And the fact that UFO conspiracies about an event tend to discredit the idea that anything occured at all is a bonus deflection for them.

That's more of a pre-internet idea about propaganda. The internet, social media, and the ubiquity of digital cameras and smartphones democratized information to a remarkable degree. The US government does not control the flow of information. Whether a deprived and devastated global population *cares* about this or that terrible thing is more of the issue. Capitalism still is popular enough to exist, for example.

[@ct5625]

My contention has always been that a lot of the things people have actually seen (not technical blips misidentified by trainee pilots using new IR equipment they're unfamiliar with) are probably classified military projects. A good example of it is the "Ghost Rockets" reported by countries neighboring the Soviet Union after WW2. Those mysterious craft were very likely experimental missiles the Soviets secured from occupying half of Germany after the war, in the same way the US secured the other half and built NASA from that science. People seem to forget that there was a hell of a lot being developed in Germany at that time, and the Allies only secured half of it.

It's a great quote and a really good song by Tim Minchin. In this context I don't approve of using it though, the scientific community has been cynical towards UFO sightings to the point that it used to ridicule them much like Galileo Galilei was ridiculed by his peers. Similarly, it's about time to start acknowledging that it isn't such a crazy idea that we're being visited by NHI. Considering the witnesses, experts, whistleblowers, videos, famous incidents, leaked classified documents, we have gathered a wealth of data that strongly suggests an extra-terrestrial origin. Comparing this logical conclusion to a brain falling out is just acting like Galileo's peers did towards him.

False on all counts. There has been ZERO credible evidence whatsoever. Everything thus far can be easily explained simply by showing it to the correct experts. VERY few things are unidentified/unexplained, and NONE of them suggest anything extraterrestrial whatsoever in ANY way. Likewise while the math almost guarantees the existence of alien life SOMEWHERE in the universe, the same math and physics as we know it also guarantees it has never reached Earth and has no clue Earth exists.

@@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38 Radar didn't operate outside of our understanding of the laws of physics at the time. If people are seeing craft that lack any visible propulsion technology, that can hover silently and accelerate at rates that should turn any biological occupants into jelly, they're probably not of human origin. There are many, many accounts of this with radar signatures to back them up (see the USS Nimitz incident, the Stephenville TX mass sighting for example). People shouldn't take every reported UFO sighting at face value, but it would be equally foolish to dismiss the many cases with multiple credible witnesses and strong evidence backing them up. Hundreds of witness testimonies backed by radar data would be good enough for a conviction in a court of law, it should be good enough to open one's mind to the possibility that the phenomenon should at least be taken seriously.

Then outta nowhere the govt acknowledges authentic video and a few fighter pilots (who are IMO easily THE MOST credible person you could ask) open up, oh and they change the name to "UAP", maybe to pretend they didn't ruin countless lives by labeling people crazy and nuts for decades on end. Only thing that's really irritated me about all of this. Unnecessary and seemingly to bypass a fucking stigma THEY created.

[@Ryanowning]

The reason the US government is calling them phenomenon is because it's a possibility that rival nations created them, they're brand new science we don't know anything about, or really any number of possibilities. Calling them "flying" discredits the idea of weather, for instance, and if there's some kind of weather that can be generated by our radars that introduce a flight risk it's kind of important to know about. Which is kind of why I don't really like this video. Sure, they're probably not aliens, but science is not about looking at what we all agree that we understand.

[@VoltisArt]

@@Ryanowning You had half the story... The change in terminology has nothing to do with rival nations. They're not all objects, as well as not all flying, so the old term was not accurate enough. Ball lightning isn't an object, and atmospheric reflections aren't flying. The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena descriptor is simply more concise and less presumptive, along with purposefully stepping back from the public connotations of UFO=alien spaceship OMG. I'm sure if there were a more concise word than unidentified, they would have jumped on that too, especially if it made a clever acronym. No, seriously, the Air Force has a unit called Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force. Prime BEEF. They like fun acronyms when they can get away with them. Tell me GAP wouldn't be perfect for something we're missing knowledge on. I bet the planning committee spent a week trying to kill that U before giving up. As for "this kind of video," this kind of video IS science. Jumping to "it's aliens" is such a comical leap and bound in logic it really doesn't deserve serious consideration until there's serious evidence that it can't be anything else. To think otherwise is to, as was said in the video, have one's mind too wide open. Plop.

There are 100 other, real, provable events and circumstances available to people to show those things. If you hadn't noticed, even if these hearings were for the things you'd mentioned no changes have even been proposed to fix those problems. No new legislation has been drafted, no new bills have been making their way through congress, nothing. If the committee in charge and headed by the republicans intended to use this person as a way to highlight inefficiencies in order to fix them, they have not. It seems to me that the main goal of these hearings was to attempt to do something popular yet ultimately knowingly useless to pretend like they are governing, when in reality the house has a 5 seat republican majority yet hasn't passed a single piece of legislation in over a year.

[@student99bg]

UFOs do have strong evidence behind them. You can ignore them, lie that they don't exist or pretend that they aren't strong, that won't change the reality. The evidence for non human intelligence making UFOs, sometimes being in them is strong and it proves beyond reasonable doubt that UFOs are real, they are made by non human intelligence and they defy our laws of physics and our current understanding of reality. First and foremost I have in mind the Varginha Brasil case in January 1996, Ariel school Zimbabwe case in 1994 and countless other reports from military pilots and anti aircraft crews on the ground seeing and interacting with these intelligently made UFOs of much greater performances than human fighter jets, UFOs whose movements defy our laws of physics (the nights of the UFOs in Brasil 1986 is just one out of dozens of examples of this). If this goes against your logic it only proves that your logic is wrong. If it goes against your science it proves your science is wrong. There is only two possibilities, UFOs are intelligently controlled or they aren't. The behavior that UFOs displayed when David Fravor and his unit was chasing them, as well as when other US military aircrafts, Brasilian, Yugoslavian and many other countries' military aircrafts were chasing them proves that they are intelligently controlled. Nothing without a power source and intelligent control can hover in the air then accelerate to speeds far greater than fastest human jets in the blink of an eye then come to a full stop just as fast. Which brings me to another question. Either they are made by humans or they are made by non human intelligent beings. Their behavior far exceeds anything that human aircrafts can do and their behavior 50 years ago far exceeded what best fighter jets can do now. Therefore, they were made by non human intelligent beings.

"I do think we should investigate weird stuff in the sky and keep an open mind but not so open that your brain falls out" is the HARDEST quote I've ever heard

[@dalegaliniak607]

I'm of the mindset that if there have been aliens on earth, they probably know how to hide their tracks. It's kinda like how those animal caretakers use masks to convince baby animals that they're also animals. It seems obvious it's not real to us humans, but in this scenario, we're the baby pandas. If one of the caretaker's masks slipped off one day, before they quickly put it back on, it would probably freak the baby panda out, but they would also be completely unable to describe the experience to other pandas. It's just so outside of their frame of reference of snacking on bamboo. Or we're all just living in the dark forest. That's always possible too.

[@Snyphen356]

As I recall the Navy Tic Tac video (in which the object mirrored the spiral movement of the pilot's plane) was corroborated by ship's radar. These are not all instrument distortions and swamp gas. Yes let's be skeptical and not assume the origin of UAPs, but to dismiss evidence out of hand because it doesn't fit our current understanding is equally unscientific.

One of my favorite theories is that humanity is really early. Humans are the great old ones.

[@Bob.martens]

I too see that as very probable.

[@alexdupaix]

This has been my theory entirely. The concept is very simple. Many planets are thousands, if not millions of lightyears away from us. Taking into account range of radio waves, we would never be able to hear things. And for things that far away, anything we see now would be millenia out of date. Beings there would see stone age humans still banging sticks together while in fact we are trying to find them instead. It was either kurgasat or Kyle who stated that humans evolved as soon as they could. Assuming the same on other planets, it's going to be a very long time before we will ever hear from them. And visiting? I doubt that will ever happen.

[@LuvLikeTruck]

I'd think because of the astronomically large number of planets in the universe, the likelihood that we are among the oldest races is extremely low. More likely we are in the center of the Bell curve

[@zomgelok]

Except mathematically that's not accurate. To our best understanding the universe is 13.7 billion years old. Our planet is 4.5 billion years old which means the universe was around for 9 billion years before our planet formed. Let alone if you think about it we has a species have only been around for a 300k years. which means that whole solar systems and planets have been born and died before our planet was even formed let alone us as a species

[@numbah16]

edit- this is largely about the Nimitz encounter, I should mention. When you have more half a dozen trained observers provide accounts from the perspective of their specialties (radar operators, fighter pilots, even the chief-master-at-arms) that should bring pause. It makes me want to see the Radar data- except the Radar Data hard drives were taken by some dudes who landed on a helicopter and took them (reported by radar techs Kevin Day, Gary Voorhis, and other I can't remember the name of. Third guy had a red beard if I remember correctly). So assuming that all three aren't lying and SOMEONE landed on those ships- there should be a paper trail. COs like Ghilman should be able to say if someone landed on their ships- we just had 2 pilots and a Mil.Intel officer provide testimony under threat of perjury, so why aren't we calling in some of the on-site decision makers? If it was a Jet engine through FLIR there would be heat or other exhaust seen on the screen- these had no visible means of propulsion- even in IR. That's anomalous when you combine it with the movements it was reported to have made. btw I don't give an eff what the real answer is, but there are blatant attempts at obstructing access to data that would even confirm the events were prosaic. And it's so irresponsible to dismiss this because of the stigma- and unfortunately these pseudo-scientific "debunks" are easier to digest (or you could go full r/aliens- another problem in itself) for casual observers and it just makes the stigma worse. Stigma erodes at every useful part of data collection. And it's so sad to see this channel peddle dogma instead of simply acknowledging the lack of actionable data. You can't just say "Oh the FLIR videos were obviously just planes or balloons" without an earnest attempt at telling me WHICH plane or weather balloon: where were they going? Who (if anyone) piloted them? How close were they to the restricted military training area? If you won't attempt to answer those questions- you're spouting dogma. All those answers should be available with more access to the data. And saying we should discount the multitude of expert testimonies before we even look for the actionable data is unscientific. Science is a tool, not a belief. Stop treating it like that, Kyle. Saying we should discount Grusch because the information he handed to the Inspector General of the Intelligence community was 2nd hand is a bad faith argument. It was his job to investigate! Do we equally criticize Judges, Police Detectives, District/Crown Attorneys for not being direct witnesses to the crimes they prosecute? The data we want gets hindered by stigma, purposeful obfuscation, and Freedom of Information Act exemptions. It should be fairly easy to debunk if we can actually collect and analyze the information and data- why not ask for it from the entities that are actually allowed to do it instead of strawmanning Grusch for coming through the legal channels offered?

[@isaactippetts882]

Thanks you, I'm glad I found one of the real comments.

[@GJM-]

You said it better than me in my comment, but I agree with you, specially about the USS Nimitz (aka Tic Tac) case. Here, Kylle is playing the same "tactic" as other scientific communicators by just mentioning Grush. Furthermore, is he implying that Navy pilots and radar operators are stupid enough to not know how to differentiate a weather balloon or airplane from an unknown object? These people have years of training operating the most advanced military systems in the world and then a skeptic or a scientific communicator appears to tell them: You don't know what you saw, that was probably just a balloon. (I apologize for my english).

[@BinkoBunko]

I think the biggest flaw in it all is just the lack of things to show. People need visual confirmation. The public has a generalized distrust of Congress and its going-ons and sentiment about the armed forces can be similar depending on where you are. So hearing a Military Intelligence Officer give a testimony before Congress using second hand reporting (even if his job put him in the best position for valid information) is not a foundation many people are going to support if its real or not.

[@numbah16]

@@BinkoBunko I totally agree. But these direct witness names, project names and locations, fraud methods- those have been given to the IGIC, and potentially now some members of congress. Congress is mad that the DoD has never passed an audit and this dude is saying "I can tell you what they are up to, just not in public and that it is up to the elected representatives to follow up through legislation". That's not unfair to me, but what is unfair is if those congress people don't share the information. There could be information that exposes it all as BS, I dunno- but I want to see the data before I dismiss it all. True claims or false; I agree it needs to be shown.

[@jhonhdhcb7495]

Hard agree, this is such an incredibly bad faith video. How can he go on about witness/ expert testimony and then completely ignore the pilots and just assume that the *trained* military pilots couldn't tell the diference between a uap and thermal signatures of regular planes. Not to mention all the other people with claims you brought up. And yeah crazy to complain at Grusch for following the legal whistleblower route instead of ruining his life and having to flee the country fearing life in prison. Really dissapointed in this video, he could've been perfectly fair and said the evidence is still weak and fairly unsubstantiated but instead he treats everyone who is waiting to see more as idiots.

Again, missing the point entirely. Have you even bothered to actually watch the video? Or did you just casually listen to it as background noise while playing online or something? One thing we _all_ know is that there isn't only one government on Earth, not even only one with advanced tech to survey air and space. There is no worldwide consensus or collusion between those governments, some of which being actively and constantly hostile to the USA. What would be _their_ incentives to not stomp the US by releasing information on those supposed alien visitations? Do you think Russia and China care about what the US decides to keep from their populous? Actually, they would take _any_ major chance to destabilize the US government, and keeping such a secret would certainly be one. The truth is, people are generally ignorant of basic optics, so when they use the camera sensors they now have in their pockets or backpacks, they can't tell the difference between a genuine UAP and a well known glitch, optical artefact, or just about any atmospheric phenomenon or misinterpreted infrared reading. The same shit applies to the proverbial mark one eye balls by the way. There's a boatload of well known optical illusions and mistakes people constantly fall for, simply because they never bothered to learn that stuff, often for very basic and understandable reasons (it's particularly time consuming, and often times quite boring). What's fascinating however, is how people can come up with all those kinds of shitty convoluted 'conspiracies', while disregarding if not actively denying the very obvious, very real conspiracies happening right about now and in the recent past, right before their eyes.

[@altrag]

Unfortunately you can't prove a negative. No matter how much information the government releases, if it doesn't include solid tangible proof of aliens then people will continue claiming that they just haven't released everything. If they simply don't have any evidence of aliens (which is by far the most likely scenario), then there is absolutely nothing they can do to convince you of that fact. Its on each denier to individually decide to trust them at some point and there will always be people who will never reach that point.

So far, in my limited anecdotal experiences, most people seem to be indifferent or uninterested in 'UFO' sightings and 'aliens' visiting earth. I think, in part, because almost all of the big space missions since the 90's have been about, at least in part, looking for signs of life beyond planet earth. All of the martian rovers, in their own ways, have sought out evidence of life on mars. Hell even the Voyager missions included the golden record in the optimistic hope sentient life may one day find it and seek us out. Add to that a more than healthy skepticism bred by years of online misinformation campaigns and so on, and it's hardly a surprise that most people are indifferent to mexican alien corpse hoaxes and unclassified government files with blurry pictures and lots and lots of hearsay and anecdotes. Wait until there is clear, genuine evidence of alien life and then people will care more, I'm sure.

The problem with you discounting the Navy fighter pilot videos, is that the pilots themselves also visually saw these objects. And saw them behave the way they described. It's not just video noise. Like if it was, the pilots themselves wouldn't actually be seeing the things with their own eyeballs. They also have radar data too. The military first spotted them on radar, (apparently from the aircraft carrier?) and the pilots were sent to check out the bogey on the radar. Like, if you have something that you can see on radar, you can see on video and sensor data, and the pilots themselves physically see them with their eyes: that's pretty hard to just dismiss. There's also the case in the town in Texas where hundreds of people saw the lights, and then they were able to find radar data corroborating what people saw. Like we're getting to the point with advanced radar, cameras, etc, where it's not just shaky cam video, or someone claiming they saw something. We're now at the point where some of these instances are backed up by multiple data, including credible witnesses (like military officers, and people with current security clearances), cameras, IR, and radar. All in a single incident. That's not just something that can just be dismissed. And then say, "well we know everything there is about physics so that just can't be." You can't just claim that people didn't see something that "breaks the laws of physics", because that presumes that our current understanding of physics is complete. When the reality is that we are far from fully understanding physics. The deeper we go into quantum physics the more we find that there's a lot going on that we don't fully understand. Humans always like to think we "have a good bead on things", until every few decades we make some major discovery that totally upends our previous assumptions. It's probably not a good idea to think we know all there is about physics. Science isn't about trying to make the data fit our currently held worldview. It's about adjusting our worldview to fit the data. And if these sightings keep happening with good sensor data and multiple data points to back them up: we will simply have to adjust our understandings of what is possible. If the accumulation of data ends up showing that there are objects capable of performing maneuvers that our currently held understanding of physics says is impossible: then our currently held understanding of physics is simply wrong. Or is incomplete.

Means and methods

[@Trillyana]

I find the idea that there are alien species out there to be likely due to the sheer size of the universe and number of planets that could theoretically host them. However, the odds of them actually resembling anything humanoid would be low, plus in order to travel here they would need: 1) The intelligence and knowledge to build a craft that could do it 2) To be close enough to Earth to be able to do it 3) The knowledge that we exist, on this planet 4) The materials necessary to build it 5) To be able to survive long enough as a species to develop the technology I feel like item 4 is the most overlooked one. Even if there existed some ultra genius species theoretically capable of traveling to other planets, what if their planet just didn't have the resources they needed to do it?

[@wihdinheim0]

You're making brilliant remarks. There's an alternative that you might have overlooked. It's possible that Sol-3 was terraformed and seeded, an advanced civilizations could benefit from nurturing super intelligent life. Creating Von Neumann type probes to achieve this would seem plausible, and they'd continue their mission even after the original advanced civilization would be long gone. Seeding a planet with a genetically engineered bacteria at the right moment of a planet's life would be enough to nudge its course towards a desired path. We even have a peculiar little bacteria of our own, the _pelagibacter ubique_ which strangely has the shortest genome of all organisms, while having odd adenine and thymine chains. Scientists have so far failed to explain its evolution, and considering it's the most common organism on this planet and plays a vital role in the carbon cycle, it's something we should look closer to - especially the hyperconservative sections of its genome. In addition, the possibility of time travel adds quite an interesting possibility to the equation. Even if time-travel was impossible for beings with a consciousness, it could be used to create probes. By creating a closed timelike curve inside a particle collider we can already trap particles. By extending the time we can keep the CTC active as well as the size of the objects we can trap inside it, we're already experimenting with early queltron technology. By hooking a quantum computing process into this, we could receive the results of the computations the moment it begins. Looping this would allow exponential growth for all our AI computations, advancing instantly into a true AGI.

8:56 heres my take on this, i dont necessarily disagree with you; but i feel like these cases are still worth explaining to see whats actually behind the curtains. Yes a lot of the times you will get boriing explanations, like weather balloons and whatnot, but a great degree of these things still have yet to be explained, which causes distrust in the scientific community. You could take a "mythbusters" style approach to these sorts of things, and it could prove to be a great scientific learning opportunity for not only the "victims" but the world as a whole. I think the act of ignoring these sorts of things is what helps them spread in the first place.

I watched a number of documentaries/series on Discovery, National Geographic, etc. that discussed the Alien/UFO phenomenon, as well as the Showtime series "Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t" that also did a great episode about UFOs and conspiracy theories in general (might be two or more separate episodes, actually). One of the biggest takeaways that I got from those works is this: what makes so many of these claims compelling, if not believable, is that many of these claims are coming from people who are verifiably intelligent. They have doctorates, made careers in research and development, and are even verified experts in their fields. One of the guests featured on the P&T episode where they discussed this factor essentially said "Intelligence has nothing to do with delusion. Delusions can come from mental illness or something that someone has been taught or chosen to believe. Logic has no part in it." I think this is an important thing to consider. The most compelling piece of evidence recently is that video of the object on the thermal recording. "Visual anomaly" is a very mundane term, as is "UFO". It means nothing special, just that there is something that can't be identified at that specific moment. The reason why the military became concerned is because visual errors/anomalies were appearing on targeting screens and such for MILITARY AIRCRAFT. You do not want that kind of issue on targeting systems.

[@Xero1of1]

CoolWorlds did a video warning against shutting down ideas with little reason to do so other than 'It's not true because science.' He also warned against easily accepting ideas because 'It's what I already believe.' It was a good video.

[@MKIVD]

The best takeaway I got from that video is that saying "no, they don't exist" just because evidence is not yet present and that we are a special breed is kind of being too egoistic. It's better to say "I don't know" because the lack of evidence for something doesn't necessarily mean it does not exist, we just don't know yet if it does or does not. Saying they don't exist flat out is counterproductive to how science goes, because they're already concluding something without actually completing the scientific method. There's no evidence they don't exist, so how can one conclude they don't. At the same time, although there are "evidence" of their existence, it's not really that credible and are not peer-reviewed, so we also can't say they exist-hence the "we don't know"

[@Greippi10]

That's David Kipping's channel right? He also has a lecture where he points out that many popular scientists and science communicators are getting ahead of themselves when they claim that "surely there's life out there, just look at the number of planets and stars and galaxies", just like Kyle at the very beginning of this video. The number of habitable environments for life makes no difference when we simply don't have the slightest clue what the probability for life is with our grand sample size of 1. It really could be the chance of winning in the lottery to the power of googolplex. So the best answer, the only reasonable answer for a scientifically minded person is "I don't know", no matter how much we want to believe. Safe to say Kipping is one of the most level headed pop sci communicators out there, and I respect him immensely!

Thank you for confirming that r/UFO isn’t actually spiralling out of control with paranoia. It’s not like Reddit to spiral out of control, so I was a little worried.

[@student99bg]

Aknowledging evidence isn't paranoia. People aren't paranoid, you are a denialist. The evidence for non human intelligence making UFOs, sometimes being in them is strong and it proves beyond reasonable doubt that UFOs are real, they are made by non human intelligence and they defy our laws of physics and our current understanding of reality. First and foremost I have in mind the Varginha Brasil case in January 1996, Ariel school Zimbabwe case in 1994 and countless other reports from military pilots and anti aircraft crews on the ground seeing and interacting with these intelligently made UFOs of much greater performances than human fighter jets, UFOs whose movements defy our laws of physics (the nights of the UFOs in Brasil 1986 is just one out of dozens of examples of this). If this goes against your logic it only proves that your logic is wrong. If it goes against your science it proves your science is wrong. The way I explain to people like you is that there is only two possibilities, UFOs are intelligently controlled or they aren't. The behavior that UFOs displayed when David Fravor and his unit was chasing them, as well as when other US military aircrafts, Brasilian, Yugoslavian and many other countries' military aircrafts were chasing them proves that they are intelligently controlled. Nothing without a power source and intelligent control can hover in the air then accelerate to speeds far greater than fastest human jets in the blink of an eye then come to a full stop just as fast. Which brings me to another question. Either they are made by humans or they are made by non human intelligent beings. Their behavior far exceeds anything that human aircrafts can do and their behavior 50 years ago far exceeded what best fighter jets can do now. Therefore, they were made by non human intelligent beings.

[@student99bg]

And yes, these non humans have killed people in the past. Still, all in all their behavior towards us and other animals doesn't seem much different from our behavior towards other animals. In most encounters they don't seem to even try to hurt us if we don't provoke them first.
