Episode notes

Skeptics have been studying whether UAPs represent extraterrestrial off-world spacecraft since the early 1990s. Carl Sagan has been studying it since the 1950s, and all's for government disclosure go back to the 1940s. Millions of leaked documents through WikiLeaks, Afghanistan papers, Pentagon papers, as well as Freedom Information Act documents,. Nothing has confirmed any of these claims. Zip, Nada, Zero. No evidence whatsoever.

A commentary on the latest UAP/UFO story about the whistleblower and the government UFO retrieval program.

In this special episode of The Michael Shermer Show, Dr. Shermer addresses the latest claims by a whistleblower that the U.S. government and its allies has spacecraft that are “off-world,” meaning extraterrestrial in nature.

If true, it would be one of the greatest discoveries in human history, but is it, in fact, true?

Very very unlikely, for a number of reasons that Dr. Shermer considers as he puts this story into historical context after 30+ years of studying UFOs, a topic of regular coverage in Skeptic magazine.

Also, read Dr. Shermer’s article in Quillette: “Aliens…Again! This time, they always say, it could be different.”
