Big Picture Science: Skeptic Check New UFO Evidence - Jan 29, 2018

Reupload to fix an audio issue. Assessing the possibility of visitation. Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. It was a shocker of a story, splashed across the New York Times front page: The existence of a five-year long, hidden Pentagon investigation of UFOs. With one-third of the American public convinced that aliens are visiting Earth, could this study finally provide the proof?

We consider how this story came to light and what the $22 million program has produced. Does the existence of a secret study mean there’s now decent proof of extraterrestrial craft in our skies? We take a look at the evidence made public so far.

And why, six years after the study ended, are we learning about it now?

Guests:

Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley, The Big Picture Science radio show and podcast engages the public with modern science research through lively and intelligent storytelling. Science radio doesn’t have to be dull. The only dry thing about our program is the humor.

There is much more than UFOs around us on Earth !
The term high strangeness pertains to many different types of events and things  observed by witnesses !
One person woke up is his car 300 miles away from home in the UK, its ok he drove home after calling his surprised wife as he went to the store ????
Green fog on the ground in many reports have very strange things described as one military guard called for backup guards,  the sounds from crickets stopped and all sound stopped but no one could account for the time 1 hour of the event when it seemed like 10 minutes !

People see icons of there beliefs Ferries, elfs and little people and lepracauns oops !
People see owls that are really ET grays !
Seeing is believing and we must go on with our life, no worries they do not mean harm but help in our mental awakening !

We have spirits that reincarnate as most NDE experiencers and children who remember have proved to me of there past lives 3000 documented so far in other countries !

These skeptics ignore the comments that the pilots made where they said the target they were tracking was traveling at speeds that were way beyond what our jets can do. Apparently no one qualifies as a "trained observer" except for Mr. McGhaha. He seems to have a very high opinion of himself. His name alone makes me want to laugh. I guess when Mr. M was trained forty years ago he learned a lot more than the pilots trained only recently. Reminds me of my old grandpa telling me how to deal with the high tech world.
