This chapter discusses the likelihood of the existence of extraterrestrial life and the lack of concrete evidence for it. The speaker emphasizes the need for stronger evidence beyond unexplained videos or photographs.
The recent congressional hearing on unidentified aerial phenomenon–also known as UAPs– gave a high-profile platform to what we used to call UFOs. But why now–and was this a substantive government inquiry or a summertime Washington diversion?
Bloomberg’s Roxana Tiron and Megan Scully join this episode to make sense of the hearing and claims that UAPs may pose a threat to national security. And astronomer Seth Shostak gives his view of theories that some UAPs may be alien spacecraft.
