Is the government covering up aliens? What even is a UAP? We take a look back at Neil deGrasse Tyson breaking down claims of aliens, whether they’re here, and if they are anywhere with various guests including SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak, investigator Ben Radford, and astronomer Jill Tarter.

Is it aliens? We discuss what makes us think the aliens built the pyramids and other conspiracies. Why would the government want to cover up aliens? What would happen if they were really here? Learn about how much of the galaxy we have actually searched for life and how there’s so much more to discover. What would actually happen when we find aliens?
