What happened
Neil deGrasse Tyson has spent his entire career telling people to calm down about UFOs. But this week, on national news, he changed his tune. He said the conversation has shifted from 'are we alone?' to 'are we ready?' — and he pointed to sworn testimony from military and intelligence officials about recovered craft and bodies.
Why it matters
The context behind the story.
When the person who has been the loudest voice of skepticism for decades suddenly says we need to take this seriously, that's worth paying attention to. Sworn government testimony is very different from blurry videos. These are people who faced legal consequences for lying under oath.
Takeaway
If even the skeptics are changing their minds, maybe the rest of us should start asking better questions.
