Being an advocate and voice for UFO reality (as in actual alien craft) is not easy, as the late Carl Sagan knew. Which was why he held up sharing his acknowledgment of that reality (with Northwestern Astronomy professor J. Allen Hynek) until very late in his career.
Unlike Sagan, Bill Maher is a comedian so there's no chance of him - or very little - of losing funding, and he'd likely laugh off any snark from deniers and critics.
But still, he had to display some nerve in his Real Time episode Friday,
New Rule: The Disclosure Moment | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
sharing with viewers that it was now time for a 'come to Jesus' (at least in scientific terms) UFO-Alien moment. He based his acceptance, after years of agnostic stance, on the growing number of credible sightings by military personnel (such as seasoned Navy pilots) and intelligence officials, who have said openly alien life is already likely on Earth and having its way in our skies. As Maher put it:
"My opinion changes when the information changes,"
Adding:
"Yes, there was a time when the only actual contact we heard about aliens was from rural people who had been abducted and anally probed,. But you don't hear about that anymore. Why? My guess is the aliens gathered all the information they needed about us … [and] now they seem to be in a different phase.
They seem to want to be spotted. Why else for this constant ‘playing peek-a-boo’ with our military? And it's serious people [saying this] now."
And of course there was the documentary with dozens of officials, intel specialists, scientists from last year:

Maher then showed the infamous video of a Hellfire missile clearly fired at a UAP but bouncing off it like a rubber ball, e.g.

This is related to a post I had made previously:
Maher then pointed to reports from military pilots and government officials who have described encountering unidentified objects exhibiting capabilities far beyond known technology, saying:
"They keep seeing things move through air and ocean in ways that defy our physics. Military pilots who say, ‘Yeah, I saw something doing Mach 10, and then it stopped on a dime and disappeared,. That's not a drone. That's not something from another country. Even Elon is like, 'Not me.
"It’s not weirdos and beardos saying this," he said. "It’s guys with buzz cuts and security clearances who are spilling the tea, and politicians who you don't think are crazy people."
Maher noted that Congress has already held historic hearings on unidentified aerial phenomena, noting how seriously the government is now treating sightings it still cannot explain. See again, an earlier blog post:
Maher again, on the govt suppression basis:
"The government's official public line is, 'We don't know what these things are.'" he said. "But, in private, what they say is, 'No, seriously, we don't know what these things are, but they didn't leak from a lab in China."
Incredibly, Maher will still likely take lots of flak from the deniers, despite the fact the late Cornell planetary scientist Carl Sagan eventually saw the light decades ago. Sagan - once a debunker of the idea of real UFOs, aliens - did finally come around to accepting the validity in a one-on-one with Northwestern University astronomer J. Allen Hynek, e.g.
