Episode notes

Skeptic: Why we have already found extraterrestrial life? Oh, really? How did that escape our attention here at Skeptic? Of course, Bud Hopkins intruders, the incredible visitation at Copley Woods. We're not alone. And this is actually an old idea. A thousand page, 820 page book listing all of the alien encounters just up to 2001. The mammoth encyclopedia of extraterrestrial encounters.

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.”
