🗣️ Extended Discussion Questions
🔵 The Government: The video mentions the Pentagon and UFOs. Do you think governments know more about aliens than they tell us?
💡 Think about: trust, secrecy, human curiosity, the unknown
🟢 The Appearance of Aliens: The video suggests that if we find alien life, it might just be a tiny microbe instead of a smart alien flying a spaceship. Would you be disappointed if the only aliens we ever find are microscopic bugs?
💡 Think about: expectations vs. reality, what’s more exciting
