You're speaking of a time when blondes were airheads and women would ACTUALLY be proud they didn't know how to do anything but raise kids and shunded anywomen who would even TRY to have an opinion on something. Go to Oklahoma: you can still find this shit.
@nextgengaming2077 don't you think a bit strange with the exponential increase of available camera phones and quality improvements that they is less "evidence" now than they used to be.
Idk why people think their phones can hold up to actual military satelites systems and fucking NORAD tracking. Which one do you think is more likely to catch anything screwing around our solar system let alone on the planet itself
Carl sagan was the best. I've always said. If there are intelligent beings capable of flying through space, they would want to make themselves known.Just as when we send explorers into space we don't try to hide behind rocks and things we are out there looking to make contact.
Or perhaps, if they’re “intelligent”, they don’t want to make contact because they’re aware of the malice and egomania that plague the human race. If I were a visitor from another world, I sure as shit wouldn’t want to park my spacecraft within any proximity of a repugnant human.
Would love to hear Sagan's thoughts on the current UFO situation. I'm sure they would be fair and insightful. Edit: I understand that UFO does not mean alien. :)
Sagans Standard - one of the Razors to know, in conjunction with Hitchen's and Occam’s. If I was to teach my two daughters three things - thees would be the three mind rules I would pass on.
He never said there weren't aliens. He just said that there is insufficient evidence for him to believe so; and that was in regards to "if we have ever been visited". The man believed in aliens. He helped convince Congress to send a satellite out into space with messages embossed in gold from Earth greeting any species that would find it
If only everyone back then had been carrying megapixel cameras with full video recording capability we'd have all the proof we need... wonder why they stopped coming.
Later, he said in an interview, I think on Johnny Carson that it would be arrogant to think that we are the only ones in the universe. I think the government stifled him.
Both can be true. It is very likely that there is life in other parts of the universe, however it is also very unlikely that they have been able to visit us. The universe is a mind-bogglingly big place, and life is probably just spread too far apart to visit each other.
And the United States Government Military denied the fact that UFO's existed for over 70 yrs and now we now different. Perhaps Carl Sagan was under pressure to say this about that then :)
With millions of cameras --- almost every adult and most teens own and carry cameras everywhere they go, yet, none has taken pictures of the Loch Ness monster, Yeti's, Sasquatch, Lizard men, floating gurus, flying saucers, ghosts. There should be thousands of photos of each. All myths, like angels, devils, gremlins, mystical healings, the sun stops it's movement, giants are made up to satisfy man's need to imagine the unreal.
A light-year is quite far in time and space to a human. We live in the countryside of our Galaxy, if we lived near the center of our Galaxy things may be different.
Such a great thinker and so interesting to listen to but Let me explain where he is wrong in this instance and i make this claim based on his own thinking. First let me tell you a short story as someone who used to deer hunt. When finding a spot in the woods to set up your tree stand you look around and visualize where deer might come in from and set your tree stand angle up accordingly. Yet so often that deer comes in from an area you never dreamed it would and is on the wrong side. Well if the deer steps up to your bate pile good for you but this doesn't always happen. With that said, Carl and many other so called experts have all said we probably wouldn't understand anything about any intelligence that may have the ability to visit us. To make a long story short, Carl is making 2 mistakes. First he is imagining what a visitation would look like and he is deciding that those who have made claims to have witnessed something they believe to be alien are mistaken. I've never seen anything i considered to be a ufo or alien but i did see a bird fly above me that was the size of a small plane with its wings spread out. Everyone says you must be mistaken but i know what i saw not because i wanna believe it but because i did indeed see it. It was just above the trees and was just about 50 feet high so low enough to certainly comprehend what it was and how large. We can never be sure what an invasion or simple visitation would look like or where or how it would come. I hope someone understands this because it may help to see things outside the box and when you can see outside the boxn your vision is much better.
I believe that there are other beings somewhere in the universe, but I think that they are just so so far away from our planet, and when they'll reach our solar system earth is already gone..
Good for Sagan. If you're a bad guy that wants to make people disappear then "alien abduction" is helpful. The same with strange deaths. Blame "aliens" that enter and leave the planet is helpful too. 🤔💯
Nor is there evidence for Nessie or Bigfoot. Yet people believe in them....usually these are the people that give churchfolk a hard time about evidence.. 😂
Visited? Been here way before us. Revisiting for replenishing supplies seems logical. Maybe an evaluation of our progress. A lot of E.T. heads are a shakin'!
Appatently he did meet or read about two government employees from 1965 (teacher + postman, a middle aged couple married to each other). Their sudden severe insomnia lead to many medical doctor visits, finding nothing wrong, that one dr suggest they try hypnosis, and thats when it was accidentally revealed one night they where abducted from the car, while being separately inspected, the teacher's abilities kicked in and asked many questions of their captures, of which one showed her the constellation they traveled from. Originally no one took them seriously until 40 years later NASA discovered a new constellation that match planet for planet what the teachet drew up. So today it considered true, THE BETTY AND BARNY HILL abduction in the state of New Hamphshire.
Those videos prove that there is science out there that we don't fully understand.. and we still don't know what controls them. And watch the videos again, there was a craft that enters the ocean at incredible speeds with no backsplash. I believe it was filmed by an f-18
They would probably want to come to visit us if they have scientists who might be interested in our planet. But I don't think they'll make it some secretive mission to abduct some ppl lol if they're advanced enough to come here then they won't care about our borders and politics.
Why is that idea absurd? Have you ever visited a zoo? We are a highly intelligent, space-faring civilisation. We have art, literature, music, science and a beautiful & diverse planet. Regardless of their level of intelligence, of course they would would want to come and visit/observe us. Neil deGrasse Tyson is dead wrong on this one.
The same thing Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox said today. Look it up, they think it is not good evidence and they were students of Carl Sagan's philosophy.
@@chrisp3083 Maybe not evidence, but if the US government openly admits they have observed UFOs (vessels) moving in ways beyond our ability and comprehension, then this should dilute our skepticism considerably. And Brian Cox actually said "it is possible". Tyson said aliens would not be interested in us...which is just silly considering our tech, culture, etc.
I knew this guy. He was a lying traitor. He knew darn well the truth. He sold mankind out for cash and lots of it. Very few people inflicted more damage or harm on mankind than this guy. I'm glad he's gone.
He talked about UFOs and aliens every day of his life. He just saw no evidence of aliens visiting Earth even if they have which is obviously a debate these days. And, UFO has the word "Unidentified" in it. What job would he lose anyway? He was an Astrophysicist who would jump at the chance at real proof.
@@jasondauenbaugh9060 I was waiting for someone to bring those up. I don't think that would be enough to convince Carl Sagan. My guess is he would assume that was secret Earthling technology.
Hmmmm. This is the first time I find myself in dispute with ol' Carl. To me, the cases of Travis Walton & Betty (& Barney) Hill are evidence enough. Some lies, fakes, are too extraordinary to be conceivable. So in the end both those cases are literally inexplicable, certainly not conclusive to be simply seen as lies
@Kombat Kompanion That's pretty rude. Yes, maybe if you make an effort to understand those particular cases you'll understand a bit more. Try learning something before writing. Important advice for you personally
Still the gold standard of critical thinking in a world that's getting dumber by the minute. Sagan was a true treasure.
Just wait until you learn he actually knew it was true the entire time. Can't help but wonder if you'll still have him on a pedestal after that.
@@skepticalbeliever5001Bullshit. Show some proof please.

Carl always says interesting and purposeful things.
Nostalgic for the time when empirical evidence was respected and debate was honest and open. Hopefully humanity will circle back to that one day.
Science is important but winning elections is importanter
“A stolen logbook of the ships, captain” this guy is amazing. Love and respect his intelligence..
RIP one of the greatest minds ever
The contempt in his voice when he says the word ‘abducted’ is a thing of beauty.
As it should be.
Carl Sagan was magnificent, concise, thorough and to the point no matter what he was saying! What a treasure he was!
Despite everyone carrying a camera with capabilities unthinkable in his time still no evidence.
You must be dumb as a rock
cameras we have right now are not good at capturing fast moving objects
Try taking a close-up photo of a fly in mid-flight. That's how hard it is to photograph UFOs.
@nextgengaming2077 don't you think a bit strange with the exponential increase of available camera phones and quality improvements that they is less "evidence" now than they used to be.

Ufo ≠ aliens
I’m sure his opinion it would be the same! The “new stuff” is not compelling either.
UFO doesnt mean Alien .
I miss Carl Sagan, and his Cosmos.
NDT canNot touch him.
NDT and Druyan continued Sagan’s Cosmos, and by no means wanted to be better than the original. It’s a continuation.
Well yeah Sagan seems like someone who'd actually listen to you in a conversation v.s NDT who clearly just wants to one-up everyone.
But I miss Carl Sagan and cosmos as much as you

he isn't talking about existence of aliens lol... he is talking about alien visits to the Earth!
Interesting fact Carl Sagan was lead singer of Talking Heads.
Lol
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
Absolutely!! Bang on, Carl!
But my great great great great grandfather's dog was abducted by aliens and he'd never lie!
If only everyone back then had been carrying megapixel cameras with full video recording capability we'd have all the proof we need... wonder why they stopped coming.
Brilliant guy.
I wonder what he would have thought of watching the U.S. Navy fighter jet in 2014 filming a tic-Tacom shaped object flying through the sky and water?

👍🏼rest in peace
Turn on like visibility.

Look at the size of those monster ears
That's exactly what a alien living amongst us would say! 😮
I believe aliens exist out there. But we'll never make it out of this solar system to meet them
I like what he said when he was much younger. But ya, what he said

About government made UFOs smh
Apply this to every religion on earth if you dare..not one would survive.
