Neil deGrasse Tyson, the astrophysicist and science communicator, says the U.S. government should publicly release evidence related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP/UFOs), commenting that it should “just show the alien.” The remarks come as public interest in alleged UAP disclosures continues following the latest release of related government materials. In interviews and coverage by U.S. outlets, Tyson frames disclosure as something Americans are prepared for, referencing years of congressional hearings and the ongoing appearance of UAP-related files. He also adds a perspective on what any potential extraterrestrial visitor might look like, suggesting it would likely differ significantly from humans and may not share the same biological traits such as DNA. The articles characterize his statements as a call for clearer transparency rather than a confirmation of extraterrestrial contact. Across the sources, Tyson’s central message is that if such evidence exists, it should be made visible to the public.
