Episode notes

CNN's John Sutter challenges UFO believers to put up $1,000 for proof of extraterrestrial life. No one has responded so he sets a new date: December 31, 2024. He says the government does disclose actual aliens and it's obvious like the Chinese spy bloom. But that doesn't mean your pet theory is right or you can figure out what they are.

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.”
