I'm probably certain we are not alone in the universe but have we just been contacted? No, that’s not the question I have for you today. That would be way too obvious.

From Area 51 in Roswell to flying tic-tacs over the ocean we as a society have been obsessed with the idea of contact with extraterrestrials. Claimed sightings of unidentified flying objects, or as the US government now calls them - unidentified aerial phenomena, have been the stuff of legend. And it’s not just the past several decades. Claimed sightings date back centuries - if not millennia.

Perhaps we can brush off some ancient historical accounts with excuses such as the lack of science, technology, and a healthy dose of skepticism. But it’s now the 21st century and one would expect us to have the ability to decipher fact from fiction. However, according to an article in Scientific American,  the U.S. Department of Defense has been quietly cataloging and investigating scores of bizarre encounters.  which ultimately spurred the US Congress in 2017 to demand that the Pentagon produce a report summarizing everything the U.S. government knows about UAPs.

I for one am curious to know if THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

Continue listening to hear about some more historically interesting reports about sightings including one about the Foo Fighters as well as what the conclusion was from that Pentagon report.
