Renowned scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson tells US government to ‘Show the alien!’ after latest UFO disclosure

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson wants the US government to ‘show the alien’! After the Trump administration’s latest UFO disclosure.
67-year-old Tyson attended Fox News Summary On Monday, he announced that the overwhelming amount of irrefutable evidence should finally be complemented by a picture of an extraterrestrial being.
‘Is it too much to ask at this point for them to just show the alien? That’s all, I don’t think I’m asking for too much here,’ said Tyson.
The astrophysicist’s request comes after the Trump administration released a third tranche of previously classified UAP files on Friday.
The materials were uploaded to the War Department website that morning and included a number of cases that investigators were unable to explain, leaving the nature of the incident unresolved.
“We’ve already been told, so if they introduced an alien, we’d kind of freak out given the alien movies and alien stories we’ve seen for a century… I don’t think we’d be scared at all,” said Tyson.
‘This may even be unexpected, given our expectations of what might happen.’
The astrophysicist went on to explain: ‘I would be shocked if the alien was actually humanoid because judging by the biodiversity statistics on Earth, our DNA is shared with all other life and most life on Earth is not humanoid.’

He argued that any alien visitors from another planet would likely look very different from humans and might not even share the same DNA structure.
“So if it was humanoid, I would be shocked,” Tyson said. ‘But otherwise I think we’re ready for it. Of course we are ready. We were ready.’
Newly released records include a 2025 FBI report describing a video taken by a citizen in the northeastern United States.
According to the witness, a shiny object in the form of a ‘bright red sphere’ about the size of a basketball was flying over their backyard.

Friday’s statement also includes dozens of secret CIA files related to mysterious sightings; It reveals the agency has formed a panel of top scientists to investigate ‘flying saucers’ amid fears the reports could clog military warning systems and trigger mass hysteria.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a statement: ‘The War Department is aligning with President Trump to provide unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Events (UAP).
‘Hidden behind classifications, these files have long fueled justified speculation, and it’s time for the American people to see it with their own eyes. ‘This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s serious commitment to unprecedented transparency.’
According to the Pentagon, there is an “unprecedented level of interest” in UFO files, and the War Department’s website has received more than 1.7 billion visits worldwide since its launch on May 8.
A second release took place two weeks later.
Many of the photos and videos featured in today’s broadcast were submitted by American citizens, and officials noted that the images were captured using an iPhone.
