UFOs, or rather, UAPs, have been in the news a lot lately, mostly thanks to the US Congress discussing the matter with three ex-military people who claim they have evidence for non-terrestrial spacecrafts. In other words, aliens. This hearing gave the movement a lot of legitimacy. But do we really have evidence for aliens visiting Earth? I speak to Brian Dunning, creator and host of the Skeptoid podcast, about UFOs, aliens, and the quality of evidence we have. It just so happens, Brian's non-profit company has released The UFO Movie They Don't Want You to See, and has done a lot of research into astrophysics, space flight and a lot of claims of UFO sightings. If you want to believe, or already do believe in aliens and UFOs visiting our planet, you need to hear what Brian has to say.

I started my journey into atheism back around 2010. Seth's podcast was one of the first I started listening to. It really kind of had a really nice approach to it. It was very down to earth. It was very real, very human. And finally, I get to speak to him face to face.
