What a dumb argument. Of course it always remains unidentified, but if this thing makes unnatural movements and is able to accelerate to Mach10 from standing still, it is not strange to say that the UFO is under intelligent control and is probably using technology that we humans don't have. Mind you, these reports are numerous and started surfacing already in the 40's and 50's. Tyson is just playing a stupid word game and doesn't look at the facts. How scientific...

@NLPCPNL And your credentials are? Are you an astrophysicist?

Neil is like a modern Carl Sagan with a wicked sense of humor (humour for our friends in the UK.

@dondude69 Hes very entertaining :D

There are UFOs, there is alien life. Unfortunately for us, these aliens are not the UFOs that we see.

@camelotradio a minute, his premise is true, if something goes from mach 10 to 0 then it is probably being controlled intelligently. that is probably true. in this, if A then B. his conclusion is false. He says B, therefore there has must been an A. In this argument, he has already assumed that something is intelligently controlled, therefore it makes sense to him that it was going mach 10 to begin with, without even looking at the possibility that his eyes were mistaken.

Wait a minute, he says there are less UFOs sightings by astronomers. Does that mean that there ARE UFOs sightings by astronomers? Of course, zero is less than any sighting, but he could have said "none" instead of "less".

I'd pay to see this dude in concert, stand-up style.

Nicely said, I don't buy into the extraterrestrial visitor hypothesis. We are just too far out of the way for such a casual encounter. Also, try to realise that any ET further than 100LY from Earth, would have little chance of actually knowing we are here.

Watch out, we got a badass over here.

UFOs make sense. Consider an advanced civilization 200,000 years ahead of us. Im sure they know a few things we dont. The aliens most likely have their own version of SETI. Earth would be a prime target to search. An analysis of our atmosphere would make interesting data. Objects peforming in ways we cant, would be a characteristic of craft from advanced races. Take an apached helicopter to the middle ages, and try to explain it. Thats only 400 years or so.

@camelotradio It's painful reading you attack his probable lack of credentials when there is an alarming and much more glaring complete and utter failure of logic in his or her post.
