Good interview. Give it a listen or read. Aliens don't pop up 'til the end.

Kinda wild the interviewer just let "they're real" slide by with no follow up.

    Was he not just being facetious?

    Yeah, it seems like just a way to debunk the area 51 conspiracy. And we can't really say alien aren't real, because there's like billions of planet and some ought to be in a goldilock zone that has the exact condition we have.

    Yeah, to assert that there is no alien life out there is really the more bold position. We don't have real evidence to support either side of the argument so any strong assertion (for or against) is rather dubious.

    He probably meant some mundane explanation, but it'd be nice to have clarity as to exactly why. I guess it was a lightning round though.
