Extra: "Just Show the Alien" ... Neil deGrasse Tyson on Pentagon UFO Files & AI

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

Are we truly alone in the universe, and if we aren’t, could humanity actually handle the truth? As public curiosity about extraterrestrial life continues to grow, every unexplained sighting fuels intense speculation about what the government might be hiding. Following President Trump's pledge for greater transparency, the Pentagon is gradually unsealing and releasing classified files on what are now officially called UAPs—Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, host Lisa Brady caught up with world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson to discuss the interest in UFOs and his new book, Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter. The Director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City breaks down the reality behind the Pentagon's newly released UAP data, evaluates who—or what—might be out there, and examines whether human civilization is intellectually and emotionally prepared for a real alien encounter. Tyson says Earthlings are ready for a "real-life" Disclosure Day and that the government should "just show the alien" if it has one. We often have to cut interviews short during the week due to time constraints, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson to let you hear even more of his thoughts on aliens, artificial intelligence, and space travel.
