Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks UFOs are FAKE

[Serinebanders]

At last someone who doesn’t entertain the woo woo crew just for views.

"it's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled".

[russmarasheski]

Neil is very good at putting things into perspective...

Smartphonecameras are not really designed to film Objects that are very far away. That is why videos of UAPs are often fuzzy. And there are a lot of them.

To be honest, the aperture on an average phone is way too small to take such a distant shot. I’ve tried to capture airplanes and such with my iPhone and I have a very hard time unless they are very close.

I spent most of my life hearing Dr Tyson say "Be curious about the world around you!" Except I guess the lights in the sky nobody knows what they are.

Ignoring the congressional testimony last month of an airforce “top gun” who witnessed his systems becoming inactive at contact with a UAP. Other aircraft corroborated his sighting as did surface radar. Under oath - “pilots see this frequently, only 5% of what is seen is reported because the information doesn’t go anywhere”
“We don’t have their capabilities and would have no response if they became hostile”

[abu.nahiyan]

to pretend that the earth is so small that we have everything covered in high enough resolution to have clear pictures of something that's trying to avoid being seen

[diobama]

there are different layers or altitude in the sky where the commercial airplanes and militery flights seperately opperate. the altitude for civilian use is so packed thats why ufo often be observed by the military. Footage captured by smartphones? well they are still in the sky, so there is why.

[Fluffysweep]

I think its safe to say that if an Alien race exists, which is a million years more advanced than we are currently, would only be detectable or visible to us, if they wanted it that way.

[woodrowtaylor]

They stopped showing up when we all got cameras

[JaceEntertainment]

6 billion people not looking in the sky but staring at social media lol

[morbid]

I doubt he can explain the UFO sightings before smartphones were invented.

[georgebronte]

They don't even see the traffic lights change to green right in front of them because they're so fixated looking at their phones!

[jonvig]

This is the best breakdown yet. I never thought of it in this light.

[asodalis]

You have 6 billion staring downwards at their phone not looking at the sky at all :D

[eddievilla]

Those arguments are out of this world.

[siegfriedkleinmartins]

Well....if you pay attention, almost every smartphone owner is looking down to the phone, not up to the skyes. The number of not registered ufo sightings is astronomic. I saw ufos on three different occasions, well before the invention of drones. My dad also saw, as many of my friends. Greetings from Brasil

Tbf my phone is a POS and doesn't take a good photo five feet away let alone 25000 feet away

[bobbelleci]

Well. That Air Force pilot described what he saw out over the Pacific which he described as a tic-tac. Even his or another Air Force pilot captured it on FLIR. Infrared. There's a good 5part series on Disney.
