The newest Pentagon report on UAPs \u2013 or Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon \u2013 reflects long standing public interest about what\u2019s in our skies. Now, NASA is investigating for themselves.\nShould we assume that what we can\u2019t identify is alien visitation? In our regular look at critical thinking, we look at the history of UFO sightings, visit Roswell on the 75th anniversary of the crash, and ask how our desire to believe influences our interpretation of evidence.\n\ufeffGuests:\nPaul Hynek\xa0- Teacher at Pepperdine University and son of the late astronomer J.
