One of America's most popular scientists says there is no doubt the universe is teeming with extraterrestrial life as UFO disclosure gets underway.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed astrophysicist, author and podcast host, spoke to the Daily Mail about the first wave of files released by the Pentagon on May 8 and what secrets could still be coming.
When asked if aliens really exist, Tyson said: 'Anyone who's studied the problem would answer without hesitation that we are not alone.'
'We're made of the most common ingredients in the universe. So life, if anything, was opportunistic, working with the materials that it was given in the early Earth. So, anyone who's studied the problem is ready for the universe to be teeming with life.'
While Tyson, 67, was skeptical that US intelligence officials were preparing to reveal a living alien or the corpse of one, he was certain the world was prepared for the watershed moment when the existence of life on other planets was confirmed.
'Of course, we're ready, because movies have been prepping us ever since War of the Worlds. We've already been told the government has them in the back shed; they just haven't brought them out yet. So, society didn't collapse in the face of that knowledge,' the scientist declared.
With first contact in mind, Tyson noted that humanity would need to take key steps to prove its intelligence to visitors who have the power to travel millions of miles through interstellar space.
That includes remembering a set of key facts he said every child learned in middle school - the Pythagorean theorem and the periodic table of elements.
'Science and math would be universal languages. They would need to know science and math to get here. They don't know English, they don't know Latin, they don't know any of our languages, they don't know our culture, but they'll know science,' Tyson explained.
'It'll be a first step towards endearing them to us, and that we're not just worms crawling beneath their feet.'
The astrophysicist did not believe that face-to-face contact with alien life has actually taken place yet, despite the growing interest in UFO disclosure.
