As a biologist, I understand the scientific principles being applied. However, I strongly think the lack of interest done by both surveys mentioned is appalling. The reason why we are here is nobody has conducted studies on this phenomenon sooner, leaving it to amateur researchers who don’t have the money, resources, and expertise to conduct and retrieve data. And the data collected is never taken seriously. Your survey shows that none of the most closely related experts (astronomers) were willing to investigate and seek grants for this. This is, in my opinion, the principle flaw in how science is conducted. It’s never for the search for truth but for the search for fake and money. It always relies on someone to take on a huge risk because everyone in the community judges you. And the funding dictates the outcome both by special interest and in the amount of funding dictates the methods and resources used. And the community is quick to throw out your data and research, making years of hard work pointless. I don’t know a single scientist that is willing to throw their career away like that. Not to mention this hypothetically interested astronomer doesn’t live in a bubble. They have a mortgage, a family, children, student loans, etc. it would have to be a billionaire bachelor astronomer, which none exist.

As an alien this is pretty well made! Almost as good as the stuff on Expero IV
@IgnisKhan
That very last interview nailed it. I've always thought UFOs should be investigated, simply for the "unidentified" part. No aliens needed to still learn something new about our own world.

My dad was in the US Army in 1952 and saw three flying saucers, heading south into Mexico airspace. As far as I know, he never discussed his witnessing this spectacle with anyone professionally. After the Korean War, he went back to school for 10 years and became a doctor of science in metallurgy. He told me the same story four separate times over 50 years. So much ridicule about UFOs and spaceships. I don’t think my dad ever wanted to risk his reputation so he never reported it or spoke professionally about it.

I love ambiguity personally. It reminds me that we live in a beautifully complex and nuanced world where almost anything is possible, although few of those things are very probable.
@coreysayre1376
I am not a scientist by training or profession, I do however subscribe to the scientific method and follow a lot of scientists in a lot of differing fields. Your survey of the top people in this field is approximately what I would have expected, although I am plenty aware that this is just my own conformation bias, it is still comforting. Cool video Cool Worlds!
@RandJohnson
The old medical adage of "when you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras" definitely rings true here. These objects dont have to be alien to be interesting. If more data becomes available, I'd imagine they'd at least warrant a look-see!

In 1978 I had a two week old baby ( she is now 44) and I was getting my washing in, it was late November in South Wales uk. I looked up and saw a sphere with lights traveling around the meridian, I screamed dropped my washing and my husband came running, it just disappeared. It didn't fly away, it was there one moment and gone the next. We both saw it, we had no phone and mobiles weren't invented, no wifi or computers. So I walked to the payphone to tell my parents they believed me. I told the man in the post office the next day and he obviously laughed at me and thought me an idiot, but he didn't laugh that evening when it was all over the local newspapers, it was seen all over South Wales within two hours and reported by two policemen. I know you only have my word for this but I am not an idiot. I am a maths teacher. It happened, I've thought of it often over the last 44 years but I wonder if it could be time travel - us - humans? Or could it be interdimensional? I really don't know, I know what I saw
@randywatson2103
I'am no scientist but my field of work depends on evidence based practice. Thank you Dr Kipping for a wonderful explanation. It is so easy to let the horses bolt from the stable on this topic at the moment. I look forward to more conversation over the coming months and years

It's never aliens - until it's aliens.👽

@eollin2097
I sincerely appreciate these videos. I'm about halfway through this one, but I wanted to let you know that it is a shining example of why I love your content. You balance having an open mind and letting our imagination run wild, while simultaneously reeling that in and respecting the empirical data and the rigor of the scientific approach. Please continue your outstanding work - your insights not only enrich our understanding of the cosmos but also inspire our curiosity.
@John.0z
My primary problem with the UAP reporting over my 70-year life has been the people making the claims. They have all taken a non-scientific approach to even presenting their data. Many of them have displayed disturbingly gullible approaches. Your interviewees were far more interesting to hear from. I am very open to the possibility of things well outside our present understanding. This is why I contributed processing time to SETI over many years. My mind remains open; but not so open that I will just accept wild claims. This presentation has much the same approach as Neil DeGrasse Tyson took when asked about UFOs/UAPs - the statistics on the number of possible worlds in the galaxy allow for the possibility of extra-terrestrial UAPs; but we do not yet have viable evidence. And that is just looking at UAPs as being extraterrestrial. The photographic material I have seen so far is not good enough, or having 2nd sources, to make any determination. All the presentations have relied heavily of the viewer/reader accepting the presenter/author as being both honest, and not mislead in some way. Unfortunately a few are not the sort of person you would trust to tell the time of day accurately!

I flew paragliders in the UK for about 450 hours between 2007- 2019. Twice I saw weird things in the air. Both were balloons I think but astonishingly strange movements and shapes. Very easy to imagine they were 'alien' especially if you want to. A lot happens in the sky that pedestrians don't know about - I mean natural and man made phenomena.
@arielsorensen9192
For the most part I agree with the statements put forth in this video. One exception though, is the Grusch interview. In the video it's discussed as being hearsay with no verifiable data. Grusch establishes that it is second-hand knowledge, but also provides testable, verifiability. He has named names and details that make his information verifiable. Unfortunately, he had to provide this information to the US government behind closed doors, so it may take some time to verify, but some government sources have verified the claims that he provided such information, and that others have also made similar claims. Like any research, it will take some time to verify Grusch's account, but it is verifiable. I also appreciated the terminology Grusch used, not saying the UAPs were spaceships, rather he used the term technical vehicles. He also called the pilots "non-human", rather than calling them ETs / aliens. One problem with the evidence Grusch has is that it cannot be determined to be false just by not finding the vehicles and non-humans, as it could be claimed that there was a cover-up, but if they are found, this would be amazing news when it breaks publicly.
@KardashevIII
Love your videos. I’m a 64 year old accountant who discovered your channel about a year ago. If I could travel back in time (which, by the way, I recently learnt was impossible after watching one of your videos…you provided a very easy to understand scientific explanation), I would pick your field as a career choice.
@kirk1147
Thank you so much for this video. I have been watching all of this unfold with a skeptical eye, but hope that evidence surfaces that is incontrovertible. I was hoping Cool Worlds would weigh in and you didn't disappoint. Great work Dr. Kipping and team. I want to believe...❤
@MCsCreations
Dr. Kipping, let me tell you something... More than a decade ago I found some spots in pictures I took. Long story, but I used to do painting classes at the time. So I started as a believer, then I sent the pictures to be analyzed by an UFO group here in Brazil, which skeptics were part. My spots in the pictures turned out to be only birds or insects close to the camera... But I learned a lot from them, read a lot about picture analysis and ended up helping them, but as a skeptic. Either way, I worked with them for a few years and I only learned about humans. Nothing about aliens. But, still, I believe this area should be studied. And there are a few REALLY interesting cases, like the Brazilian official UFO night. But... We can't milk any data from those cases. From almost all cases, to tell the truth. So, for me, the only way to go about it is to collect our own data, as Project Galileo is doing. I don't know if it's going to work out, but well... I don't see any other way. About claims from people from the government... I'm going to believe them when they show up some evidence. Until there... Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa
We always hear "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" but I think it's worth adding at the end "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof *to be investigated*" The issue I have with this debate is how often people go "No, don't look into it, don't investigate, it's dumb" which is such a deeply unscientific stance to take. In the congressional hearing David Fravor said he has no idea what he saw and that he thinks scientists should try to find out what the hell it was, which sounds like a very rational stance to me. If having evidence beyond a reasonable doubt is a prerequisite to go looking for evidence, then nothing can ever be looked into.
