Hey Bill. So there are many videos online claiming to be extraterrestrial sightings.
嗨 比尔 网上有很多声称是外星飞行物的视频
At times it seems that the government is aware of extraterrestrials yet they reject the idea.
有时政府似乎知道外星生物存在却封锁消息
Possibly they’re hiding the truth from us in fear of the knowledge greatly changing our daily lives.
或许他们担心这一消息会使我们的日常生活产生巨变而有意向我们隐瞒事实
Do you believe these aliens exist and if so would you tell us?
你认为真的有外星人吗 真的有的话 你会告诉我们吗
No I don’t believe the aliens exist coming to visit you and the government knows about it and hasn’t told you.
不 我不相信真的有外星人来访 也不相信政府在知道外星人访问后会不告诉你们
No. Sure with that. Two more things.
不会的 我确定 两件事可以证明
First of all the whole alien thing really got revved up in 1947.
首先在1947年整个外星工程已经全部竣工
There was a project called Sky Hook and the U.S.
曾经有一个叫天钩的项目 美国
Government had these very cool super high altitude balloons and they were going to have
政府拥有异常高端的超高海拔气球并且他们为了监听
a constellation of them or an armada of these balloons off the East Coast of the former
核武器试验 将在前苏联东海岸外制作像星群一样多的气球
Soviet Union with microphones tuned to listen for nuclear weapons tests.
或者组建一个气球无敌舰队
This was going to be big fun.
这会是一件轰动的大事
And so they were testing the balloon in New Mexico and it was complicated and the winds
他们还会在美国新墨西哥州检验（设备） 检验过程复杂 大风
blew the thing around and it crashed and it was impractical.
把气球刮得到处飞 （在天上）互相碰撞 一切检验都不切实际
The idea was kind of cool but it was a cold war idea that just didn’t work.
这个想法很好但完全是一个行不通的战略
Now this project was secret. So yes, government people showed up
现在这个项目是一个秘密 是的 政府人员让我们看见的是

the U.S. Army swept up all the debris from the crash and took it away because it was secret.
美国陆军打扫并且清除了所有撞击碎片后的场地 因为这是一个秘密
And they also experimented with parachuting dummies from very high altitudes in the same area.
他们还在同一地区的高空进行假人跳伞测试
And this has led to all these fabulous myths about aliens and the government knows stuff you don’t
这已经引起了现在这些关于外星人的谬论 而政府知道一些你不知道的事情
Now I look like nobody and I am but I had an engineering job, several of them over the
现在我看起来像个小人物 但我管理的工作职责在他们几个之上
years, and during one of them I had security clearance.
很多年 其中一个项目是安全清除任务
And I worked on a secret airplane for a little while and I never went myself but I worked
我在一个隐蔽的飞机上工作过一段时间 从来不可以私自行动 但是
with several guys, they were all men, who went to Area 51 to Groom Lake which is an
和我一起工作的那几个家伙 都是男人 他们会去位于内华达州空军机地51区的
Air Force base in Nevada where we fly around these secret airplanes.
格鲁姆湖 那就是我们的飞机秘密飞行的那一带
And it’s a real place.
那是真正的秘密基地
And these guys went there and when I was doing it it was called level five security clearance.
这些人去的就是那 我在那工作的时候 那个项目叫五级安全清除计划
I only had level four. I never went to Groom Lake.
我只能接触四级的任务 从来都没去过格鲁姆湖
But the big thing they wouldn’t talk about was how fast these planes could go.
但是关于飞机的速度 他们守口如瓶
That was a big secret.
那是高级机密
But anyway these are people that worked on the F117, a stealth fighter.
但无论如何这些人都是在战机F117上秘密工作的
If you ever go to the Air Force Museum in Ohio you can see the Have Blue secret planes, very cool.
如果你去过俄亥俄州的话 你就可以看见拥抱蓝天秘密战机 非常棒
As a kid I always asked myself why don’t they paint spy planes light blue to blend in with the blue sky.
我小时候一直想为什么不把间谍机喷成浅蓝色让它和蓝天混为一体
Well sometimes they do. Anyway you can see one of those there.
或许（有一天）会的 不管怎样 现在你能在那看见秘密飞机
So it’s a complete myth that the government knows.
政府完全以为这是一个神话
Just think how hard it is for the government to keep anything secret.
所以想想政府要保守任何秘密得有多难
With all due the government kind of sucks at keeping secrets.
恕我直言 保守秘密这方面政府做的有一点差
So they couldn’t possibly keep the secret with 10,000 people in on it.
所以他们无法在10000人中保守秘密
So let’s just set that aside.
那么我们暂且先不谈这个了
But with that said you may very well be alive when we discover life or evidence of life rather on Mars.
话虽如此 当我们在火星上发现生命或生物迹象时 你很可能还活着
This would literally be alien life.
这一定就是外星生物了
If we find it, if we find some ancient microbes still alive in some icy layer under the Martian
如果我们发现了外星人 发现了一些古代的微生物仍然活在火星的
sand it would change the world.
冰层里的话 那将会改变整个世界
It would change the way everybody thinks about being a living thing.
它会改变每个人对生物的看法
Do these things on Mars if they exist do they have DNA or did they have DNA if they have been fossilized?
如果外星人存在的话他们有DNA吗或者说他们变成化石后 有DNA吗
Or are they a whole other completely different type of life that we’ve never thought of.
或者他们完全是我们从未研究过的另一种生命体
Did life start on Mars?
生命是在火星上起源的吗
Mars got hit with an impactor and you and I are a descendent of Martians?
火星被撞击后 你我都是火星人的后代吗
That is amazing. It’s not crazy.
这太不可思议了 但不疯狂
It’s extraordinary but it’s not crazy.
奇特但不疯狂
Then furthermore you may be alive when we send mission to the moon of Jupiter called
此外 当我们送你到木星卫星时 你可能会活着
Europa which has at least twice as much seawater as the earth.
木星卫星的海水是地球海水两倍
When you have seawater for 4.5 billion years is there something alive on Europa?
当这些海水储存了45亿年之后 欧罗巴上还有生命吗
Whoa like dude, that’s out there. It would change the world.
哇 如果真的有外星人 那会颠覆全人类
It would utterly change the world.
完全地颠覆全人类
This would be real alien life discovered with tax dollars by people who are intellectually
探索这些真正的外星生活 需要人们愿意投入精神财富和物质财富以及（对外星人）有强烈好奇的人
curious who decide to devote some of our intellect and treasure to exploring our nearby planetary worlds.
还有那些愿意把智力和财宝用于探索近地行星的人们
And that’s the real stuff that I encourage you to support and follow.
那才是我真正鼓励和支持你去追寻的事情
And for that of course I encourage you to join the Planetary Society. Think about that.
因此我支持你加入行星协会 考虑一下吧
You don’t have to, I’m just suggesting because we really do advocate for the real
你不用（觉得）一定要加入 只是建议而已 因为我们积极提倡
exploration of nearby worlds really looking for alien life.
在近地宇宙对外星生命进行实质性探索
Also the James Webb space telescope is going to launch in 2018 and it may have the capability
同时James Webb太空望远镜也会在2018年发射 它或许能---
– it is hoped that it will have the capability of exploring atmospheres of extraordinarily
我们希望它可以通过穿过大气层的行星轨迹的星光
distant planets by having sunlight from those stars that those planets orbit pass through the atmospheres.
来探索那些离我们很远的行星
If we detect water vapor and methane it may mean some day that we’ve detected evidence of life on another world.
如果我们能探测到水蒸气和甲烷 也许那意味着终有一天我们能发现 另一个世界生命存在的证据
Do, do, do, do – do, do, do, do.
加油加油加油加油---加油加油加油加油
It’s all the real stuff is what I’m saying, the real exploration for alien life is more
我说的所有事都是真的 对外星人的实质探索比
exciting than speculating about a nominally secret Air Force base in Nevada. Carry on.
猜测所谓内华达州空军基地（的存在性）有趣得多 继续探索吧
