![]() ![]() But this is what they be basing their understanding of human life on. And so aliens out to 80 light years, if they’re there, they already know all about us from our TV. And so the radio, it’s called the radio bubble, and it is this bubble of radio waves moving at the speed of light that has been doing it since the 1930s, 1940s. We’ve been sending TV signals out inadvertently ever since the dawn of television. And I feel for that because you don’t give your email address to a stranger in the street who’s your same species, right? So I understand the resistance. But just to be clear, if you worry about sending signals out there, with our home address, I understand. If they’ve got technology to reach us, they’re in charge. You know, we haven’t left low Earth orbit since 1972. Neil deGrasse Tyson: If they have spaceships coming to Earth, we are not the smarter ones. I mean, is it possible that they could be out there, and actually we’re the smarter one? But in the movies, at least, they always seem much more intelligent than us. There’s no evidence specifically of aliens. It’s unidentified, and we’re not sure what they are. And you made a good point, I said aliens, but really, it’s just the UFOs that we sort of know exist out there. The janitor will lose a job overnight, but will be the most famous, richest janitor there ever was.īrian Entin: You would think it would have leaked out at this point, Neil. ![]() Neil deGrasse Tyson: Think of the janitor at Area 51, right? Who sees the dragon, the alien, they’ll just take a picture of it. They would have just saved time keeping that under wraps. So it’s easier for me to believe that we’ve actually been visited by aliens than we’ve been visited by aliens and the government has managed to keep it a secret, locked up report. But I can tell you that anyone who’s worked for the government knows how profoundly incompetent the government is. And just because you can’t explain it, that is not equal to the statement that, therefore they must be aliens. It’s evidence for things that people can’t explain. Neil deGrasse Tyson: But just to be clear, it’s not evidence for aliens that is being presented. If there are aliens, and it seems like there’s all of this new evidence that there are, that they exist out there, why do we really want to send that kind of information? I mean, how to get to Earth? Would we want to send that out there into the universe? But of course, that’s a different question for whether we should do that at all.īrian Entin: It kind of freaks me out. These signals are moving at the speed of light. Don’t wait around for a reply anytime soon. What do I mean by way sooner? It would get there in thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, rather than millions of years. And so a signal would reach stars way sooner than if we tried to send it outside of our galaxy to other star systems. Neil deGrasse Tyson: Well, Milky Way is our own home galaxy. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist, and a planetary scientist and the author of the new book, “ Welcome to the Universe in 3D: A Visual Tour.” First thing I want to ask you, in terms of trying to send messages to these aliens, can you explain why they chose to, or why they want to be in these messages to the Milky Way. Neil deGrasse Tyson talks UFOs, the depths of the universe, and his new book on NewsNation’s “Banfield.”īelow is a full transcript of the interview, edited for grammar and clarityīrian Entin: Fortunately, I am joined by someone who knows about all of this. In other words, it’s entirely too late to worry about giving away our position.‘We’re closing in on them’: UFO expert on Pentagon findings That means that irrespective of their personal natures, they can likely detect the television, radio and radar signals we’ve been lofting skyward since World War II. ![]() And if such aliens are already that advanced, then they can be presumed to have large antennas and sensitive radio receiving equipment, and to have had such technologies for a while. Either option demands a degree of technical sophistication that’s far beyond our own. Remember, we can only be threatened by species that have the means to either come here or send their weaponry our way.
