Episode 21: The Great UFO Debate

Are UFOs a worthy subject for scientific study? Is it really possible - or likely - that the Earth is currently being visited by extraterrestrials from other planets? On this controversial issue, how does one separate truth from fiction, myth from reality, and hoaxes from fact?

In a series of congressional hearings, at least one high ranking member of the American intelligence community has claimed that multiple crashed UFOs with alien creatures on board have been recovered in the United States. This claim is not new. A famous announcement about a crashed flying saucer was made in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. But is there any truth to this account?

The subject of UFOs - both historically and in the present day - is worthy of cauatious, skeptical, and objective consideration.
