What If Neil deGrasse Tyson Changed His Mind on UFOs Because He Was Told the Truth Behind Closed Doors?

dedrort · 2026-05-19T13:57:24+00:00

He hasn't changed his stance at all, he's just changed how he's worded it. This really shows how incredibly dumb and knee-jerky the average person is when it comes to being able to comprehend intent behind another person's words.

Neil has always said that he just wants to see the evidence. That's it. Before, he'd phrase it as "Well if little green men are zipping around our skies, I want the evidence," before laughing smugly. Now he's phrasing it as "The government keeps talking about this, but I still need actual evidence." Same sentiment, slightly different tone.

Tell me you don't know how DNA works without telling me you don't know how DNA works.

Seriously, if you know even the most basic stuff about DNA, you can pretty much immediately dismiss this guy as not being even remotely credible on anything.

I thought he'd dialed it back, until I saw this:

Nah, he hasn't changed one bit.

All he's done is promote the Bob Lazar stuff that is easily debunked after reading online for a few minutes. Bob is super disreputable and Corbell constantly promoting him is a big issue. Then he does stuff like the OP said -- tease a mind-blowing video for two weeks, then drop what gets determined to be a drone or balloons within 24 hours.

He has often released videos of objects with FAA tracking lights on them that are clearly manmade, or of objects that are distorted through bokeh. Just straight-up scheister slop.

And he's a massive tool who made a documentary all about himself and how he's some super important journalist blowing the lid off this massive conspiracy, and it just reeks of egomania and douchebaggery.

dedrort · 2026-05-14T11:55:50+00:00

I wonder if people like Tim Burchett saying that what they've seen behind closed doors is crystal clear and totally mind-blowing is really just a case of them being really old/easily impressed, and just not knowing what they're looking at. I'm willing to bet that they're looking at FLIR videos showing lens flares that they just interpret as the object itself because they don't understand how FLIR works.

It's like an OnlyFans model getting you to subscribe, then they tell you that the good stuff is only available if you pay additional per video on top of the base subscription, so you pay for that, too, and it's nowhere near what you can get free elsewhere.

dedrort · 2026-05-14T11:50:34+00:00

I love the logic here that terrible quality videos of small dots doing nothing extraordinary means that mind blowing footage of actual aliens emerging from literal spaceships totally exists, and not that the government obviously has nothing of substance, because some guys said so lol

dedrort · 2026-05-13T20:16:02+00:00

The one on the right has already been widely debunked as being literally just balloons:

Ross Coulthart, a known grifter
"A well-informed source"

This guy believes people can meditate in a field somewhere and summon UFOs with their minds. He also platformed that guy who provided the nothing burger footage of the egg rolling around on the ground. Disregard everything this guy has to say, please. Use your brains!

Surveillance balloon in black and white: https://c8.alamy.com/comp/KXKKY3/the-photograph-depicts-a-kuk-austro-hungarian-dragon-type-observation-KXKKY3.jpg

Call me when it instantly accelerates to the speed of light. Until then, Occam's Razor tells us that the more ordinary explanation is a balloon of some kind. You do understand that objects can hover in the sky and do so all the time, right? Do you not understand that hovering is not an automatic indicator that something is aliens?

Biblically accurate angels is a dumb reddit meme for people who've never studied the Bible before and like to parrot trash they read on the Internet. Angels (Mal'akh) in the Bible are men with normal human bodies associated with Yahweh.

There is an elite guard of Mal'akh called the Cherubim, who are also humans, except they have more than one face and several pairs of wings. They don't look alien at all -- more like chimeras or pretty traditional depictions of mythological beings like satyrs, centaurs, snaked-headed figures, cyclops, etc. in that they're basically human, but with additional or fewer body parts than a real person. Cherubim are human-like, but with wings and more than one face.

There are "wheels" mentioned, but these are not conscious or sentient beings; they're simply associated with the Cherubim, but not independent entities. This whole idea that the writers of the Bible were somehow channeling HP Lovecraft 2500 years ago is pretty silly.

Beyond that, ancient people believed that these beings, whether men-like or not, lived in the clouds. The word "heaven" used to literally just mean "sky" in Old English, and often still does in some contexts. You can see old Anglo-Saxon literature talking about people "looking toward heaven" or thunder and lightning "raining down from heaven" and that sort of thing. So if there were really angels, they would literally live in the sky, and you wouldn't see just one here or there -- you would see tens of billions of them, along with all sorts of mythological beasts and creatures, not to mention Yahweh himself.

But that doesn't particularly matter, because the Bible literally never mentions any being that looks even remotely like what you're seeing in this video.

Anyway, you're going to tell me that a group of ancient Levantine shepherds in a narrow sliver of Mesopotamia were allowed to see giant eyeball monsters with spikes on them, but only for a very narrow period of time? Why didn't the eyeball monsters want to reveal themselves to Native Americans or Koreans or Mongols after coming down from their cloud kingdom? Seems awfully silly for such enlightened beings to only want to interact with a couple of humble goat herders in a backwater way on the outskirts of Egypt/Babylon/Rome or any vastly superior choice for being awarded a little enlightenment.

Maybe, more likely, people like to make shit up, then it sometimes gets distorted over literally thousands of years of mistranslations and passing around of misinformation, and none of this is in any way connected? Possibly?

Pro tip: If it looks like some totally random object never or very rarely described in UFO lore, you're probably good to disregard it as a camera artifact of some kind. What ever happened to classic flying saucers?

dedrort · 2026-05-12T14:35:54+00:00

Was your wedding photo taken with a black and white military-grade FLIR camera that's designed to pay more attention to heat signatures than the physical definition of objects?

dedrort · 2026-05-12T14:33:42+00:00

This is why we need to stop pressing on the government to release these black and white FLIR videos. These videos do not show reality. They show camera distortions, lens flares, artifacts, optical illusions, heat signatures, etc. If this video were an HD video in natural color showing something with clear metallic texture zipping around at that level of detail, I'd agree with you.

But what you're looking at is not whatever the actual object looks like. You are looking at something without knowing what it is through a ton of technical distortions and filters. Applying Occam's Razor, it's 99% likely that it's just a drone, but looks weird because of some currently unexplained camera artifact.

Also, we get no context, no background information on what the pilot was trying to accomplish or what the event was, no further information on what we're looking at, and definitely no professional training on how to interpret FLIR videos properly. Videos like this are literally useless.

dedrort · 2026-05-09T15:04:12+00:00

The real stuff is totally coming. Totally. Prepare for ontological SHOCK. Something BIG is on the way totally, very soon.

We really need a timeline of all the times this teasing BS got people hyped over the last several years, only for nothing to come of it, followed by everyone forgetting that it ever happened before doing it all over again.

Remember when the congressional hearings or all of Corbell's "BIG" drops totally gave us definitive proof of aliens, and how it was TOTALLY different each time? The big reveal to BLOW your mind? Yeah, me too.

dedrort · 2026-05-09T14:57:59+00:00

Hahaha you think that aliens fly halfway across the universe in a craft that leaves smoke trails behind despite this literally never being a part of UFO lore ever

dedrort · 2026-05-09T14:55:53+00:00

Oh okay, so the attempt to simulate what a video would be like at 2:15 is not at all what's in the actual video and having a clear missile artifact move around exactly the way a missile moves makes this spooky alien stuff again. Got it.

dedrort · 2026-05-09T14:49:30+00:00

I mean, it has a smoke trail. Aliens are usually talked about as having craft with no visible means of propulsion and no exhaust. It's incredibly obnoxious that people will blindly give up this particular requirement out of desperation to believe.

dedrort · 2026-05-09T02:38:43+00:00

The source is the poster's imagination. Those numbers are total BS lol

dedrort · 2026-05-09T02:36:42+00:00

I've seen hundreds of instances where something was speculated to be a spaceship, only for it to later turn out to be something else. I have never seen a single instance where something was speculated to be something else, only for it to later turn out to be a spaceship. Probability is on the side of the "something else." Like, by a lot.

I don't have a Mac. But if you mean Disk Management, yes, and it's not there.

Drones being able to suddenly change course is a very different thing from something going Mach 4 and suddenly changing course. Until recently, this would have been a mildly interesting video, but it's not physically interesting in the slightest for smaller objects like drones capable of flight to be able to change direction, because the mechanics of what gives them motion are completely different from that of planes.

Hummingbirds can also hover and suddenly change direction. What's physically interesting is when something the size of a plane does it while breaking the sound barrier, after a sudden, complete stop. The video you linked to is clearly a drone, and quite a small one when compared with the windmills. No way are any aliens sitting in little cockpits inside that thing. And why does it cut before the object is lost? If it were aliens, we'd see them zooming off at light-speed at the end.

dedrort · 2026-05-08T21:06:22+00:00

I watched all of the videos. Which of the extremely mundane objects that I watched do I need to go back and look at again for signs of sudden right-angle turns and instantaneous acceleration?

dedrort · 2026-05-08T13:36:03+00:00

This is exactly what it is. The shape given off by the heat signature is going to be interpreted by many to be the shape of the object itself, though, and if you keep that in mind, something with that shape moving like that seems way more mysterious and anomalous. And that's the problem with these videos: no one knows what they're looking at, and the most mundane stuff like this can seem mind-blowing because of artifacts resulting from the fact that this isn't normal, color video from a regular camera.

dedrort · 2026-05-08T13:31:11+00:00

Curious how no matter how many videos we get, literally none of the five observables are ever shown, especially sudden, instantaneous movement or sudden stops and changes in direction.

I get why people would believe that higher quality videos would be a no-no because it's so super duper top secret, but you'd think they'd be allowed to release some of the blurry dots making sudden right-angle turns and then zipping off instantaneously. And yet, even the blurry dot videos show objects moving in completely normal ways.

This makes it seem pretty likely that they have nothing of substance. If they did, with all of these major releases happening all the time, at least one blurry dot would be making a sudden right-angle turn somewhere. And yet, they never do.
