I stumbled across this link to an interesting video Neil deGrasse Tyson: Aliens & UFOs explained by astrophysicist.

UFOs from the perspective of a world-renowned astrophysicist.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and Space and a research associate in the department of astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, explains his thoughts on reports of unidentified flying objects, extraterrestial life on Earth, and the Roswell aliens.

If this offends you, then chances are you are thinking he said something that he did not say. The lesson being that no matter how hard you try, at least some are bound to misinterpret what you say. That’s life, and there is only so much time worth worrying about it.
