Matt Berg: My students and I discuss the importance of basing final conclusions on accumulated data. When looking at a data set, at what point does a piece of data move from what is considered to be an anomaly to something that is just considered part of the data set overall and an expected result? Mm. So I think in a sense, once you can explain it, it's not anomalous. Right. Those that Chinese balloon is not a UAP anymore. It was when it was first seen. We didn't know what it was. It's like a real phenomenon. Ironically, it was copied off of the those balloons that Google was, was, was designed in the US
Are the UAP sightings aliens here on Earth? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian co-host Paul Mecurio discuss the congressional hearings on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) with astrophysicist and chair of NASA’s UAP independent study team, David Spergel.
