Is the Government Hiding Aliens?
The Michael Shermer Show # 358
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.
