I don't understand the vitriol against Bill. He is simply exercising his rational intellect. Being skeptical is not a bad thing- in fact, it's wholly necessary for our survival. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, no need to get so angry about someone questioning your beliefs.
science is true Bill? explain the fucking neutrino going faster than light you prat, oh you cant because your an idiot...how about its not traveling faster than light, its showing up time dilation, meaning gravity is local and not a field and time is part of the same effect, its an atomic effect and not a dimension, meaning, the UFO's you have been slagging off calling people retarded because you "right" physics wasnt right, was it Bill. You smug egocentric fucktard.
they are advanced race of humanoid species aka angels protecting the earth from human destruction because god is the one who destroys the earth at the end cause it says in the bible and other books such as the karan. the earth just needs to be recycled ever once in awhile not contaminated by nukes
Bill Nye exemplifies the egocentric, arrogant Western scientist, always barking, "If you cannot bring ME a piece of spacecraft, or an alien being, then you are simply gullible and living a myth based on a moment of human misperception or (in the case of multiple witnesses) mass hysteria!"
Mr. Nye: Neither your credentials, nor your skepticism serves to substantially rebut the testimony of educated, decorated and highly credible 1st-hand witnesses. You will understand your errors soon enough
I don't blame Dr. Bob Jacobs for being insulted by Bill Nye who did call them liars...maybe they should have asked Gordon Cooper to tell Bill Nye that he saw a UFO land at Edwards AFB in 1957 which was filmed by military cameraman and the film was sent off and never seen again ..I don't know what the photograph a car wreck has to do with anything ?? that was dumb as shit
lol bill nye gets ownd! this is funny, lol @ the baking soda jk, and when he said in 1967 he was trying to figure out what girls where lolol. awsome vid
If you read the many books, articles, interviews, etc. on UFOS, there has to be something to it. Similar sightings of UFOS have been recorded hundreds of years ago. Even if 1/4 th of the info out there is accurate and true, there is something going on. I am a Christian & believe in God but I am far from close minded. It's one thing for a regular Joe to misinterpret what they see, but it is quite another when retired military, astronauts, pilots, & other credibles come forward. Logic is logic.
This is just a cat and mouse play to prepare the people for the disclousure. All the evidence poitnt straight to E.T-.explanation. I'm just tired of hearing this bullshit about "not any evidence". "In the sceptical world we look at data at the way our superiors tell us"
I believe in UFOS but I think this thing was military stuff,secretive.Why the fugg would a ET give a shit about our nukes or us nuking someone.Ridiculous.
im open minded...totally...i amy have even seen something myself...but the thing that worrys me are the people who bileave in aliens visiting us are not open to debate..thats as bad as covering up
Bill Nye is an extremely intelligent and respectable person. He's one of the very few skeptics I actually respect.
There was no need for Bob to patronize Bill that way; Bill was saying that just because something was seen or captured on film that was unexplainable, did not mean DEFINITIVELY that is a craft from another planet.
Nye has never denied the possibility of alien crafts; simply, as a scientist, he is prone to look for more logical conclusions first (unlike hacks like Jim McGaha).
I love how, when confronted with simple questions about their accounts, these UFO believers can only throw around insults and attack Nye personally and provide zero in the area of rebuttal.
Hehe: "we're not making ad hominem attacks, YOU are!"
These guys are so wrapped up in their "theories" that they take reasonable criticism as a personal attack. They're not dumb guys... why do they believe such weird things?
While I could simply rip apart your strawmen arguements against me, I would rather debate the topic at hand. So, let me ask you this: Do you or do you not buy the alien tripe these people are trying to purport, or so you think that they could be wrong? Especially since their only "evidence" is a goddamn filmstrip they purport to have seen?
bill nye is nothing more than a kids entertainer.he is not a biologist or physicist(research it) so he has no qualifications to be a skeptic.hes not a aerospace engineer or a engineer of any type. while scientists try to uncover new ways of helping humans(cures for disease, alternative propulsion, etc.) he's doing kid experiments on t.v. hows he even on here? i would like to hear from a reputable skeptic not bill nye who i watchd in grade 6 fill a glass with water above the rim without spilling.
One final point. In a later section of the show, Nye claims that the witnesses at Rendlesham mistook a lighthouse for a UFO.I've heard many pseudosceptics claims that. It is nonsense. David Clarke (a sceptic of the ET hypothesis) has taked to one of the witnesses who said that the lights he saw were DEFINATELY not the lighthouse. Nick pope has been to Rendlesham forrest at night and says that the lighthouse is a tiny pin-prick of light in the distance.Nye doesn't know what he is talkiing about.
Most of you are making fun of Bill Nye because he is the only one here who *wonders* about the possibility of people's memories being somewhat flawed. He takes a practical approach to the issue, and this is the reason he's mocked?
These four immature brats being interview sit and dick the guy because he filmed a kids show? Last I checked, a specialist in chemistry is still a respectable career, and making an educational show out of it seems admirable.
No, Nye doesn't *wonder about the possibility* of the witnesses having flawed memories - he BELIEVES that flawed memory explains these cases. He fails to mention that memory also gets alot of details RIGHT. He is a pathological believer in the ability of normal explantions to account for all UFO testimony however implausible the explanation. If he were reasonable and rational, he would admit that they witnessed somethinf truly weird and unexplained.
Uh, actually, he does mention that memory gets things right:
He admits that they "saw something," but that it is possible that their memories are inaccurate or that their knowledge about what they saw is insufficient.
oh, and for those people asking "WHY WOULD THEY LIE? WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO GAIN?!?!"
Are you people serious? If the only proof is that they 'don't seem like liars' then that isn't really all that solid. PS: What do they get? A free all expenses paid trip and air time on the most viewed CNN show.
Saying that they "saw something" is not even close to saying that memory gets things right. Memory gets SPECIFICS correct, such as seeing a large pulsating red sphere of light hovering above your military base for a matter of MINUTES. You and Nye are saying that person is not capable of accurately perceiving and remembering such an event? How convenient that pathetic sceptics like yourself drag the old 'imperfect memory' argument out whenever it suits you.
You know what else is super convenient? Just believing ridiculous things without a shred of proof except a whole lot of vague stories!
I'm not saying these guys are 100% wrong, or that there isn't life out there. What I am saying is that they are absurdly childish for attacking someone who merely posits that a person's memory during what was arguably a stressful moment isn't the best way to draw huge conclusions like "oh, aliens attacked our air force base."
Ah, the old "not a shred of proof" proclamation. You say this despite all the eye witness testimony, photographic, physical trace and documentary evidence. What immense levels of denial. Vague stories? Wrong. DETAILED eye witness testimony with accompanying physical evidence from separate cases describing the same basic phenomena - flying discs that defy known physics. No matter how much you, Nye and the silly guy from SETI are in denial, the RATIONAL people will continue to listen and learn.
Do you have the evidence that ALIENS shut down the facility?There is nothing physical (no shreds of alien flesh or ships).
Regardless, what did or didn't happen is irrelevant. My point is that it is pathetically immature that these supposedly 'grown men' can't stand having their stories challenged by a scientist who is rightfully skeptical. If you think it is 'irrational' to question the stories people feed to us, then you have issues.
No, there is no hard evidence that aliens shut down the facility but Nye tries to pass it off as a power failure even though he KNOWS that a power failure cannot have been responsible (triple redundancy on power). Why would a supposed rational sceptic put forward an explanation that is demonstrably false? It's because he is NOT rational. The other guests on the show are quite rightly pissed off at the man for this reason.
I think we are calling the same thing by two different names.....you think he is unequivocally claiming it was a man-made failure, I think he is merely bringing that up as a possibility, and that the way they react to him is completely immature.
Regardless, kudos for not just name-calling on a YouTube thread.
The way typical 'scientists' like Bill Nye think is more or less as good as when our loved ones tell us that they love us, then we just say "really? prove it. scientifically. show me empirical evidence. No? then how can you say you love me? Stop bullshitting."
bill's conclusion is unscientific, he says it was military prject going on as well, He does not have proof to validate his claims, so to be honest here, bill nye is making a giant leap, not them. And he saw the film, He is telling the truth, who would go to the trouble of covering up something purposedly,, C'mon this doesn't make sense, a 6th grader can figuere this out.
He suggests we think more carefully about conclusions, and he *hypothesizes* that it *could* have been military. He doesn't conclude anything at all. When you DONT KNOW something, you don't conclude anything. That is his whole point.
A sixth grader can also write in proper sentences; give it a shot.
I wear a fly and that means that Iam an intellectual.Science boy, I take you on without qualification and a language of your choice...sceptic image chaser.
think about it. If it were just a government conspiracy, then how come its only happening in America? Do you think developing nations or poorer governments would spend ther time trying to deny something? Would Mexico work that hard to keep a secret? think about it
What he doesn't understand is that each Missile on a Missile Silo is individual.
None of them are connected to the other, they're all isolated with their own triple power sources.
So if there is a wiring issue, a short out, a loose connection or power failure then each silo will have its own power. These missles are seperated by miles. A cooling system affecting more than 10 silos at once is nonsense. Least of all, one cooling system can't effect them all
And think about it, they're so passionate about it, and they're getting kind of emotional because bill is just totaly making them sound like anything they say is not credible. It would piss me off too.
thats not skepticism, thats a poor attempt at debunking. why do they have to put these clowns on larry king live? "the Skeptic Society"?!? WTF... i dont get why he's on the show in the first place.
Sure, its testimonial evidence from very credible witnesses, its all it is, dismissing it as hearsay or nonsense is not being skeptical, its being retard.
First of all, Bill didn't make any ad hominem attacks that I was aware of... He was very rational and calm. The other dudes were the ones attacking Bill just for being a skeptic. Skepticism is the heart of science!
And how dare they attack Bill's honorable teaching career? Bill taught me many things when I was a teenager... I can't even imagine why anyone would attack such a career...
I just watched the rerun of this show last night. How Bill Nye kept his cool is a mystery. Dr. Jacobs was belligerent, sarcastic, and belittling of Nye's opinions and experience. King was clueless, misstating Nye's opinion about UFOs and suggesting that Nye was refuting Jacob's sighting rather than his conclusion. Spaceships - such lack of imagination. Try extraDIMENSIONal incursions - they'd produce weird and varied shapes and bizarre motion.
For being a university professor this old fella just made an ass of himself and didn't really sound all that bright. No way, Bill "made an ass if himself" quite the contrary. He was made to look like the smart one on the panel next to these conspiracy nuts!
BILL Im ashamed of you! Really dude, This is the not the oly way to make money. Whatever they paid you it wasnt enough. Your completly out numbered and your lack of knowledge in the situation... I really feel sorry for you. We are monkeys! People wonder why havent they come here to share the gifts and advancements... Well would you hand a loaded gun to a monkey?? the ansewer is obvious. But! try to teach them! share with them the recipe and they gain the respect for the potential power.
The dudes here are all irrational and should be ashamed of themselves, especially that belligerent one that attacks Bill. He makes logical fallacies left and right and talks over him as if being louder makes him right.
You're a moron, saying Bill was being ignorant and closed minded is like saying that anyone who doesn't accept astrology and an afterlife as completely true is ignorant and close minded.
He wasn't using science because you cant use science for something as asinine as blurry photographs and hearsay. He was using Critical Reasoning skills, something morons who swallow ufo tripe have no grasp on.
Bill Nye is also right, all they did was gang up on him when he presented more parsimonious reasons for the causes. The dude at the end after claiming he wasn't making assumption made a ton of assumptions and took the infantile tactic of attacking Bill Nye instead of arguing.
" Are you gonna do this with baking soda & vinegar bill" LMAO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. that was classic. By the way. I dont believe in the supernatural...BUT... I do beleive that we are not alone and that thier are aliens. I HUGE POSSIBILITY!!!
Do you also believe that aliens can break the laws of physics just to mess with earthlings? Special relativity means that it would take thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to travel here.
Thats not entirely accurate, it would be closer to the truth to say we have a knowledge of physics that is incomplete. But thats not whats being argued here, what people don't understand is that this doesn't have anything to do with science, its all using reasoning skills. The thing I find ridiculous is how people take evidence and draw conclusions that just don't follow logically, all Bill Nye is doing is using reason properly.
@HarvestGroup Because e=mc^2, it would take thousands of years to travel amongst LOCAL stars. If they were traveling from another galaxy at least that would give them enough time to accelerate to within a margin of C and the hundreds of thousands of years would seem instantaneous to them after spending many years to accelerate to within that speed.
@HarvestGroup Well, the initial point is that the entire "they" notion is nothing more than an unsubstantiated and unwarranted assumption. Even ignoring that nearly all ufo's are easily explainable, there's still no point in assuming aliens at all for the ones that remain unidentified. Basically people go in already thinking ALIENS, point to a ufo and go "Omg! We dont know what that is! It MUST be aliens!". A complete lapse in logic that Bill Nye points out but they can't seem to fathom.
@animecha [Even ignoring that nearly all ufo's are easily explainable, there's still no point in assuming aliens at all for the ones that remain unidentified.]
Easily explainable my ASS!
I don't waste my time debating with cockroaches UFO Debunkers like you.
I will just say this, the ET presence is a hard cold inconvenient FACT, and if you are still debating this FACT you're just completely insane & fucking joke.
I don't think it's too hard to connect the dots that there are extraterrestrial visits here once anyone actually researches some major cases. Airline pilots, police officers, military officials, radar specialist, and polygraph specialist from all around the world simply can't play a hoax of this scale and magnitude. It's totally impossible and beyond coincidence. If that threatens some religion or someones monopoly, hey, that's just life opening peoples eyes more and more It's not going to stop.
this is a petition for you, the people of youtube, (should you choose), to ask in unison for the disclosure (by THE present political powers) regarding the reality of visitation by others to our planet. (copy/paste name below into yt search engine)
Bullshit Bill Nye. I see military documents every day. There is never a "home address" on a Department of Defense form(what you were describing). The only phone number will be the office phone number and it will be in the main paragraph. I dare you and your cute lil' bow tie to confront that.
Despite the fact that I personally believe in extraterrestrial life, Dr. Jacobs was a complete jackass in this clip and makes himself sound rather dumb for someone with a PhD.
1) He thinks Bill Nye is calling him a liar when in reality Nye was not doing that at all. Nye was simply suggesting that he misinterpreted what he saw.
2) When Bill says it's a leap to definitely say it was a spacecraft from another civilization, Jacobs retorts by saying he didn't say that, but then a few seconds later implies exactly that when he says no government in the world had that technology. He contradicts himself in the span of 15 seconds and never even realizes it.
3) Jacobs accuses Nye of ad hominem attacks. Anyone who even remotely pays attention to the clip will realize how hilarious and ridiculous it is for him to make that accusation, as he was the only one guilty of it. Nye was politely debating; Jacobs was being a hostile jerkoff.
University professor or not...PhD holder or not...Jacobs was a complete prick and a terrible debater. The alien believers camp (or w/e you want to call it) is doomed if they have to rely on embarrassments like him.
What do Jacobs' stereotypical attacks against Bill Nye even have anything to do with UFO's? It's kind of sad to see all of these people lob senile remarks at someone who's generally known to be an extremely kind, intelligent and respectable guy, Mr. Bill Nye.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bill Nye didn't said he didn't question what he saw, yet he claims we could have had that technology in 1964. If we had technology to do the things he said he saw in 1964, then why don't we see this technology coming out today? Whether it was an alien craft or our own technology, and the man really did see what he says, then the government is covering it up. It would be a big story to be covering this up for this long no matter what it was, and Bill Nye is shrugging it off like its nothing, dick
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The answer is really, really simple: you can't let "something" technologically advanced to "come out" without proving that you developed it. You can't sell, let's say, a "teleporting device" and then people ask you "how did you buld such a thing?" and then you go "er... well...". You can't let out a technology that works on principles that our physics doesn't understand (yet), but for sure there's people interested in it keeping it secret. I think that the "fulcrum" is there.
Bill Nye kept his patience on scale with Mr. Rogers while Jacobs lost it entirely too early and personally attacked him even before Bill had anything to say to him. You can tell Nye is a genuinely kind man when he barely got in, "Sir, you can attack me but that doesn't...", gets cut off and didn't lose his temper once.
still think the guy with the PHD was the one making the ad hominem attacks on Bill Nye... Clearly the guests have to agree to disagree, and larry king needs to keep his ish from turning into jerry springer
guy with phd has beef with mainstream perception, not specifically with the wellspoken bill nye

The Air Force doesn't want to admit that UFOs have invaded our most sensitive air space for decades and there's nothing they can do to stop it. That's the last thing they want to admit to the American people...

OMG Bill Nye and James McGaha are like 2 identical A-holes. I mean okay fine maybe these are ours and it is part of testing ? I mean top secret projects are in departments, so one department does not know bout the next all puzzle pieces who will never see the big picture.. If we knew about UFO's since the 40's then it is a possibility that maybe we would have this technology in the 60's so why wouldn't they mislead their own military just to keep things quiet. I believe they are among us though
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bill Nye...why the hell is a children's science tv personality commenting on UFO's? Let me talk Mr. comedian....haha. I was there pal! So Bill Nye has friends in the CIA. Probably how he got his lame ass show too.
I don't understand the vitriol against Bill. He is simply exercising his rational intellect. Being skeptical is not a bad thing- in fact, it's wholly necessary for our survival. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, no need to get so angry about someone questioning your beliefs.

I think we are calling the same thing by two different names.....you think he is unequivocally claiming it was a man-made failure, I think he is merely bringing that up as a possibility, and that the way they react to him is completely immature.
Regardless, kudos for not just name-calling on a YouTube thread.

The way typical 'scientists' like Bill Nye think is more or less as good as when our loved ones tell us that they love us, then we just say "really? prove it. scientifically. show me empirical evidence. No? then how can you say you love me? Stop bullshitting."
Science isn't everything, Bill Stupid Nye.

bill's conclusion is unscientific, he says it was military prject going on as well, He does not have proof to validate his claims, so to be honest here, bill nye is making a giant leap, not them. And he saw the film, He is telling the truth, who would go to the trouble of covering up something purposedly,, C'mon this doesn't make sense, a 6th grader can figuere this out.
foundoutthat 2 years ago
are you retarded?
He suggests we think more carefully about conclusions, and he *hypothesizes* that it *could* have been military. He doesn't conclude anything at all. When you DONT KNOW something, you don't conclude anything. That is his whole point.
A sixth grader can also write in proper sentences; give it a shot.

Bill Nye seems very full of himself.
What he doesn't understand is that each Missile on a Missile Silo is individual.
None of them are connected to the other, they're all isolated with their own triple power sources.
So if there is a wiring issue, a short out, a loose connection or power failure then each silo will have its own power. These missles are seperated by miles. A cooling system affecting more than 10 silos at once is nonsense. Least of all, one cooling system can't effect them all

I just watched the rerun of this show last night. How Bill Nye kept his cool is a mystery. Dr. Jacobs was belligerent, sarcastic, and belittling of Nye's opinions and experience. King was clueless, misstating Nye's opinion about UFOs and suggesting that Nye was refuting Jacob's sighting rather than his conclusion. Spaceships - such lack of imagination. Try extraDIMENSIONal incursions - they'd produce weird and varied shapes and bizarre motion.

Thats not entirely accurate, it would be closer to the truth to say we have a knowledge of physics that is incomplete. But thats not whats being argued here, what people don't understand is that this doesn't have anything to do with science, its all using reasoning skills. The thing I find ridiculous is how people take evidence and draw conclusions that just don't follow logically, all Bill Nye is doing is using reason properly.

HarvestGroup 1 year ago
@HarvestGroup Because e=mc^2, it would take thousands of years to travel amongst LOCAL stars. If they were traveling from another galaxy at least that would give them enough time to accelerate to within a margin of C and the hundreds of thousands of years would seem instantaneous to them after spending many years to accelerate to within that speed.

Oh, I hear ya... but who said they're coming from other stars? ;)
HarvestGroup 1 year ago
@HarvestGroup Well, the initial point is that the entire "they" notion is nothing more than an unsubstantiated and unwarranted assumption. Even ignoring that nearly all ufo's are easily explainable, there's still no point in assuming aliens at all for the ones that remain unidentified. Basically people go in already thinking ALIENS, point to a ufo and go "Omg! We dont know what that is! It MUST be aliens!". A complete lapse in logic that Bill Nye points out but they can't seem to fathom.

I don't think it's too hard to connect the dots that there are extraterrestrial visits here once anyone actually researches some major cases. Airline pilots, police officers, military officials, radar specialist, and polygraph specialist from all around the world simply can't play a hoax of this scale and magnitude. It's totally impossible and beyond coincidence. If that threatens some religion or someones monopoly, hey, that's just life opening peoples eyes more and more It's not going to stop.

Despite the fact that I personally believe in extraterrestrial life, Dr. Jacobs was a complete jackass in this clip and makes himself sound rather dumb for someone with a PhD.
1) He thinks Bill Nye is calling him a liar when in reality Nye was not doing that at all. Nye was simply suggesting that he misinterpreted what he saw.
TheMarshallTuckerMan 3 years ago 3
2) When Bill says it's a leap to definitely say it was a spacecraft from another civilization, Jacobs retorts by saying he didn't say that, but then a few seconds later implies exactly that when he says no government in the world had that technology. He contradicts himself in the span of 15 seconds and never even realizes it.
TheMarshallTuckerMan 3 years ago 4
3) Jacobs accuses Nye of ad hominem attacks. Anyone who even remotely pays attention to the clip will realize how hilarious and ridiculous it is for him to make that accusation, as he was the only one guilty of it. Nye was politely debating; Jacobs was being a hostile jerkoff.
University professor or not...PhD holder or not...Jacobs was a complete prick and a terrible debater. The alien believers camp (or w/e you want to call it) is doomed if they have to rely on embarrassments like him.

Bill Nye didn't said he didn't question what he saw, yet he claims we could have had that technology in 1964. If we had technology to do the things he said he saw in 1964, then why don't we see this technology coming out today? Whether it was an alien craft or our own technology, and the man really did see what he says, then the government is covering it up. It would be a big story to be covering this up for this long no matter what it was, and Bill Nye is shrugging it off like its nothing, dick

The answer is really, really simple: you can't let "something" technologically advanced to "come out" without proving that you developed it. You can't sell, let's say, a "teleporting device" and then people ask you "how did you buld such a thing?" and then you go "er... well...". You can't let out a technology that works on principles that our physics doesn't understand (yet), but for sure there's people interested in it keeping it secret. I think that the "fulcrum" is there.
