Have Aliens Visited Earth? | StarTalk 101 with Neil deGrasse Tyson

When my daughter was freaked out by the guy who testified to congress about aliens, I sent her a picture of Neil and said that I will worry when this guy gets worried. It actually helped her calm down.

I feel this video should of addressed the recent congress hearings where several high ranking personnel testified about alien existence. Would have been good to have your view on that. A lot of what’s in the video has been posted before the recent hearings.

As a child I saw the Twilight Zone 'To serve man' episode. It made such a deep impression on me that I still remember it vividly.

I've been suffering from anxiety and depression lately, but watching StarTalk has helped me a lot to not feel alone, to keep my mind busy and to feel like I'm actually using my time for something fruitful, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Keep up the good work!

Do you think there might be alien life out there? If so, have they already contacted us?

“No, the government is not that high-functioning.” Best statement of truth I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you!

Whenever aliens show up camera technology goes backwards 60 years.

One of our favorite cartoons: A couple is standing in their front yard, and the man points to the sky and says, "Look Marge, a UFO, hurry up and run in the house and find the crappiest camera we own."

I hope first contact is the aliens trying to order fast food in a drive thru.

incredible conversations on this channel.
