Its really inspiring that you are bringing this topic frequently so that scientific community takes a look on this . Bravo!

[@JCsammy]

I agree. We maybe don’t understand how important it is for a Brilliant man like lex to be bringing attention to the topic

[@aplaguedoctor406]

And it's also really uninspiring to see the "smartest people on Earth" roll their eyes and say a polite variation of "I don't really give a fuck" every time.

[@vaibhav9015]

@Surreal 99I had similar skeptic review of UFO like you. But Check out his podcast with Commander David Fravor, this topic isn't bullshit anymore, but ya, dismissing it purely on the basis of skepticism is bullshit indeed.

If our understanding of the laws of physics are limited then we will never determine if something strange is an Alien. Therefor it is wrong to call a unidentified object an Alien. Dont you think?

[@peterpipe9015]

@Free Speech bro the hologram thing crossed my mind when i saw a daylight disc vanish into thin air . It just dematerialised .. i pondered it may not of been a solid object . Who knows . The whole subject is a total cluster fck designed to mock any attempt us puny chimps make at decoding its unfathomable mystery

[@johnege7352]

With all due respect, i didn’t hear one scientist commenting on the tictac ufo footage say, ‘that’s interesting. Can i get more footage of this?” They scoffed, sir. How is rejecting something science? And don’t you, as a scientist, at least hope that our military officers can distinguish between something alien and a weather balloon?

[@clifcarothers8559]

In 1976, I, and 4 of my friends, stopped our station wagon on a dark road and watched a saucer rise out of a corn field a hundred yards in front of us. We exited the car and watched it slowly rise to just above the tree line. It then turned bright orange and immediately, yet quietly, shot horizontally across the trees out of sight. Nothing in this world could explain what I saw. They say technology is 20 or 30 years ahead of what the public knows. This was 44 years ago and nothing exists that could come close to doing what I saw then......

[@spalkin]

You're asking this question to someone who absolutely cannot concede or budge an inch toward alien visitation. He even mentioned the weather balloons. I'm not saying we need to ask someone who gives us "what we want", I'm saying it gets us nowhere to ask someone who categorically cannot get near it.

[@Nonduality]

Between these two guys, their understanding and knowledge of the entire body of knowledge of the UFO phenomenon may have a 15% penetration, if that.

[@johnnydeleon8210]

Lex really didn't give a great explanation into what fraver saw

But right now they don't look at all these "evidence" because they know it is BS.

[@Computer-User]

Check out the youtube channel called The Nimitz Encounters. Absolutely incredible interviews with the personnel of the military ships involved. These beings pick exactly who they reveal themselves to, and to who they don't.

[@allenroisen2386]

"He saw something weird" well that's one way of downplaying it 😂. I dont know if Fravor saw aliens or not, but a phenomena that defies a navy pilot's understanding (despite extensive experience and education) of propulsional physics is definitely worth extensive investigation in my opinion. Even if its just another country having incredibly advanced tech...that's still huge!

[@rexrocker1268]

And it wasn’t even just the pilots seeing these things. It was going on for weeks and picked up on multiple radar systems on warships. It’s a very convincing story when you look into it. These objects seem to be real things and they were doing extraordinary things that no one can explain.

[@joegarry8983]

So how about the understanding of a run of the mill person like me, a carpenter and a farmer, when we see a phenomenon that defies our understanding of the laws of nature. I have seen these objects at close range, in broad daylight, and like many like me have also seen what I believe to have been actual Aliens.They can not be scientifically investigated for the very simple reason, they, so far as I am aware, leave no physical footprint behind, except in the memories of those who see them, a cast iron ploy of theirs, so they come and go at will and the vast majority deny their very existence

[@rickjason215]

They always say what Fravor saw, but it was Fravor and 3 other aviators. They watched this object for several minutes. It was radar operators, for weeks observing these objects. These Physicists have a vested interest in their beliefs.

[@SuperDudesnow]

Dear Mr Fridman and Mr Filippenko, Thank you Mr Fridman for your humble interviewing style that allows viewers to interact in your videocasts as if we were in the same room. Thank you Mr Filippenko for undoing some of the knots that bind us to believing in things that you have helped better explain. May I ask both of you gentlemen to watch a Jerry Kroth videocast about UFOs that will cause you to question this opaque phenomen. Mr Fileippenko will be pleased to know that Jerry Kroth has held material in his hands that was probably manufactured on another planet. I realize I can only offer this as proof of UFOs, but when you hear Jerry Kroth explain it, there's no doubt in my mind he's telling the truth.

[@caravaggiosaccomplice5103]

It’s incredibly perplexing and illogical to think we could have the entire cosmos to ourselves, so why are so many people so quick to scoff at UFO reports, even from NASA astronauts and pilots, etc.?

[@hazyhalfmoon]

They have reputations to uphold and their social communities are reliant upon their reputations. They cannot say “Aliens are real” unless they literally bring an alien to the table, because they will lose their status and reputation.

[@Myrzghe]

We know that there are no planets with life close to us, plus the secret projects that would benefit from people believing in aliens. Most people agree that there must be life in the universe, but people who meet aliens always say they are from a planet that we later learn is not ideal for life. Mars, Neptune etc. Plus the saucers match our knowledge of aerodynamics in a noticable way, back in the 40's they almost had wood paneling. So there is enough reason to doubt it, most of all how they started appearing as we conquered the sky, and mainly in the country with the biggest defence budget. There could very well be aliens on earth, I don't know, but there are a lot of people who would like for us to think that.

I have a lot of respect for Alex and I've heard some of his great lectures regarding blackholes. But it's disappointing to hear him say like many other skeptics have said that it's not likely that extraterrestrial beings could travel lightyears in a short period of time. I'm so sick of hearing that bs. Go back a few hundred years and tell people of the past that you could traverse the world in a matter of hours. Of course they're going to call bullshit because they think "How in the hell could that be possible!? There's no way a horse drawn carriage could go that fast!" It smacks of ignorance and arrogance. Just because our knowledge of physics is incomplete, doesn't automatically mean all other races of intelligent beings in our universe are just as ignorant. Especially when you consider that other intelligent races have been around for millions of years before our solar system even began!

One summer night, back in 1965, I was gazing up at a beautiful, clear star filled sky. Suddenly what I thought was a star, moved quickly to the right, stopped, dropped straight down, stopped again and shot across the sky to my left. It had red and green flashing lights, and sped at a high rate of speed, out of sight. When I say, high rate of speed, I mean compared to passenger planes, which I was used to seeing coming and going from Buffalo airport.

We all looked at our sober friend and managed to spit out a few words: What is that man?! His eyes squinted and all he kept saying: I don't know! There are some things in this world far away from our current understanding.. but our minds have the ability to find them.

@Bobby Rubarb ... they cannot possibly believe it's a health risk any more than the flu is... they just need their jobs to pay mortgages... unless you're right... then absolutely, they are simply idiots and i hope they are first in the queue for the poison vaccine.

[@sprj7792]

Last one, the scientist he's referring to don't generally come out with any theatrical theories because these vehicles that they're studying the parts that are retrieved from the site are not our unidentified to them, they know what they're looking at and working on and they're trying to figure out why it failed and crashed...

What are you talking about lex? Being apologetic about Ufo sightings? This guy knows NOTHING about the subject and you didn’t exactly enlighten him. You dismissed it in fact. Wtf

[@DMH-bb2ds]

We all know someone or something else is here. They seem to be the ones that hold all the cards .we don't know anything more than they let us know. We aren't the ones at the top of the brain chain though we like to think we are. Simple as that.

[@zavierorlos1948]

And... how do you know that?

[@FalconMasters]

Why can't you just accept universe is boring? Why do you have to believe in something spectacular ?

[@DMH-bb2ds]

@@FalconMasters because I have seen a few, (ufo's) far from boring. But I never said it's aliens. I just said somebody else is here with us. Hope u have your own sighting. You will be in awe. Why would you believe that it's a belief ? If you see something, u see it. No belief required.

@@DMH-bb2ds When I was a kid I also saw objects moving in the sky at unimaginable speeds, and I thought it was aliens, then I grew up I realized that I was just an ignorant kid and those objects were just shooting stars. Us not being able to explain things doesn't mean that that its something special. It just means that we are just ignorant on the topic and need to learn more about it.

All these people who think Venus is a UFO are out there driving on our highways! 🤣

[@scarlettfever9483]

I love you Lex. You bring such light and wonder to me. It’s so dark right now in the world. You take me away from all that and my brain starts dreaming of this incredible universe. Thank you!

[@bryceelischer819]

Yeah too bad no one will ever take it seriously. You can have all the evidence in the world and unexplainable phenomena documented and the intelligentsia will still dismiss it all out of hand. Most ppl, regardless of how much evidence you present, will obstinately fall back on what they believe their worldview to be. Politics, science, you name it. When ppl invest their identity in certain ideas there is no divorcing them from those ideas because that is asking them to re examine their entire self and identity. Good luck with that.

[@ay5948]

It’s sad to see two otherwise intelligent and well studied people speak so unintelligibly about a topic that interests millions.

[@brianconner664]

The fact that we are here is the evidence. It baffles me when so called smart people say stupid things. Just because something can’t be quantified through our human developed scientific method doesn’t mean it isn’t so. The universe doesn’t play by our rules.

Ghosts in the sky ,they will never be explained

[@Josbi]

Lex, I love you and your show so much, your respect for the subject is much appreciated, but if you are seriously interested in this subject, and want to give it a fair hearing, PLEASE have Jacques Vallee and Richard Dolan on. They will not disappoint you!

[@tecnina]

This guy said professional astronomers never report ufo's....yeah because they want to keep their jobs and reputations.

[@cdcaleo]

Exactly. This guy is trying to protect his reputation by pretending there is nothing serious to investigate. And, for the record, astronomers have absolutely reported ufo's... they just didn't report them to him.

[@dirtypure2023]

It's always about protecting respirations with academics, not the spirit of discovery of the unknown (maybe I'm being slightly facetious here but whatever). Their entire careers depend on their reputation, though, so I get it. That just leaves it to others to investigate.

[@peterpipe9015]

Astronomers expertise is stars ,planets,heavenly bodies light years away . Ufos are mostly seen close up . The field of view through a telescope is very narrow . An astronomer is no more qualified to talk of ufos than a pilot or policeman . In fact the last person i would ask about unknown phenomena is an astronomer . The comment he made about astronomers he just copied from carl sagan because he is too lazy to think of a better answer,by the way carl sagan was wrong
