  • Seth Shostak, SETI Institute Senior Astronomer and StarTalk veteran, discovers what it’s like to host StarTalk All-Stars when he welcomes noted skeptic Ben Radford and new comic co-host Ray Ellin to discuss unidentified flying objects, government cover-ups, anal probes, and space-faring dinosaurs. Discover the true story of the Roswell incident, including how a series of public relations mistakes by uninformed local military and government personnel turned a top-secret program to monitor nuclear tests by the Soviet Union, code-named Project Mogul, into the greatest conspiracy theory of our time. In response to fan-submitted cosmic queries chosen by Ray, Seth and Ben discuss, debunk and dismiss everything from crop circles, Area 51 and the infamous “alien autopsy” to the supposedly secret, subterranean joint human/alien government base harboring Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and multiple species of aliens below Dulce, New Mexico. Find out what the protocols are for an actual alien encounter, and how the real world and the media make them practically meaningless. You’ll also hear what questions Seth would ask an alien, and how he thinks we might be able to communicate with them should they show up. Finally, explore some of the psychology behind the third of the U.S. public who believe UFOs are really alien visitors, the people who claim to have been abducted by aliens, the role of the “Men in Black,” and the apparent alien fascination with cow anuses.

    *Correction "Roswell👽" instead of Area 51.

    There are crop circles that are extremely complex and would take a lot more time that one night. And in the dark it would be a lot harder.
    That's one of those things that you can't just explain away by saying that some farmers did it

    Obviously you should play Welcome to the Jungle. Or anything with welcome.

    Aliens have a beacon in space that says caution no intelligent life here!

    Project Mogul? Why does that sound familiar? Perhaps I've just heard about it before.

    I've probably never seen a real UFO (I have seen the ISS several times, that's always cool), but I did see something last spring that I'll never forget. A massive disc, silent, with a sparkling, rotating diamond-like top. It looked like a shadow flying slowly (and 100% silently) over the neighborhood, and then went off into the distance. My only reason for not freaking out was because I watched it slowly turn and head into the direction of the local municipal airport. I knew about MUFON, so I reported it and spent a month or so back-and-forthing with a kind gentleman who ended up deciding what I saw was a surveying drone. So who knows. My biggest disappointment is that he confirmed that he was not able to look at actual flight charts or radar records (if they even exist). I want to know what it was!

    I’m wondering if this channels name is an infringement on Neil’s StarTalk? 🤔

      So I'm not sure if you're joking but if not no, Star Talk All-Stars is a spin-off of the Star Talk channel with Neil

    What if the Roswell event was an alien and said alien wasn't coming to the planet, but trying to escape?
    DUN DUN DUNNBBB!

    This new Star Talk white mode is neat, but I think I prefer dark mode

    They would keep the information from us to keep us from trying to get to space. Duh 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

    please, stop talking about UFO crash at Roswell on 1947, it is a waste of time.
    Instead, I suggest another interesting UFO topic: please take a look inside the old SciFi book -The invisible spy- by Eliza Haywood on 1754. She was a british writer, she wrote a lot of stuffs, but this scifi novel is very odd, especially on reading the 1st chapter, the alien tablet appears quite weird, and the operational description and the functions of the alien tablet are very suspicious, for an observer of the XXI century, simply because the novel have been written on 1754 by a person, who was not a scientist and was not a modern engineer of nowdays. Are you able to see, on reading the 1st chapter of the ebook -The Invisible Spy- (1754) by Eliza Haywood, what are the true alien evidences of an alien contact on 1754 or what?!
    Bye

      I may be a little late. I've glanced through this, especially the description of the Tablet, which first appears on page 250 of volume 1 of The Invisible Spy. Not impressed. This seems to be completely within the tradition of Gulliver's Travels from 25 years earlier, where he visits a land of tiny people, a land of giants, a land of intelligent horses, and a flying island of scientists (OMG it must be a mothership!) In Invisible Spy the hero had already seen a Shrinking Cap, and now came into possession of an Invisibility Belt and a Wonderful Tablet. (In fact, in speaking of the Shrinking Cap, Lilliput is mentioned.)
      We have things called tablets because tablets of paper, and before that tablets of stone, were already things. The only function this Tablet had was speech-to-text. As you say, the author was no engineer, and imagined that recording speech as text must be done by some special paper, described as a glass-like substance, as thin as a water bubble, which can be folded multiple times until it is very tiny, and then unfolded again until it is the largest sheet of paper the hero has ever seen.
      The only way the text can be erased is for a virgin over 12, who has never even thought of the differences between boys and girls, to blow on the Tablet for 7 and 3/4 seconds, then wipe it with the finest feather of a swan's left wing, which was plucked when the moon was in Virgo.
      None of this screams alien tech to me. I think it is just imaginative writers. If one thing has to be aliens, doesn't it all?

    Area 51 is on THE 33° LATITUDE. Research 33° latitude and a possible correlation between the Egyptian Goddess Isis birthday.

    The person said dinosaurs that evolved. Meaning they got thumbs and stuff.

    I think the better question would be what reason would WE have to go to a planet like Earth.

    Sure it's impossible to travel millions of miles and just crash on a planet... Oh wait, it's a story of Mars exploration! PS. No, I know aliens don't visit us in flying saucers.

    Its embarrassing watching these three pinheads discuss Roswell. The hubris on show here is cringe-worthy.
