Credible or non-credible. What does it mean to be credible source? To me it means that you know your subject. But beyond that you can back up and support what knowledge you vomit out to others.

Second reason is because he’s fricking Neil deGrasse Tyson. Third this was on NASA’s website which is a .gov.
The second article hails from the SETI Institute, which is the place when looking for life outside of Earth. SETI stands for “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence” meaning it is looking. For those aliens we keep hearing about. The author of the article is Seth Shostak and the article takes about the MAVEN spacecraft picking up an transmission from unknown origin. I mean that’s pretty cool.
I feel this article is credible because it comes directly from the SETI Institute, where they don’t take anything for granted when it relates to aliens.
The last one is about aliens within the fictional world of Stargate SG1. This is a complete
