In reply to the discussion: Rep. Tim Burchett Aliens Are Real ... We've Made Contact!!! [View all]Polybius

I love Tyson, but he should be smart enough to know that iPhone and Android phones are not good for taking long distance pictures at rapid speeds, especially when trying to do it within seconds. Try taking a picture of an airliner, it's not great even at low speeds (low compared to military jets and UAPs). So while his analogy would work with sasquatch or yeti, it doesn't apply to high-speed UAPs.
To capture one very clearly, we would need a DSLR with a telescopic lens (or maybe a mirrorless like the Nikon COOLPIX P1100) camera with a tripod, which very few would have on hand.

Not only do I not think there's any chance "aliens" have ever visited Earth, it's even MORE unlikely

At the very most (and I highly doubt even this) these would potentially show we've been visited by alien CRAFT

LOL - I just posted right after you did and said almost the exact same thing. Honest . . . I didn't plagiarize.
