You’re listening to Short and Interesting – the podcast that reads to you short excerpts from old, weird, interesting books. This week is a “working hypothesis” about the U.S. government’s coverup of UFO activity since the 1950s, by John Lear. Are aliens real? Are they here on Earth? Are they calling the shots? Much to think about.

This is technically subject to U.S. copyright law, but it was “published” by a whistleblower and presumably no rightsholder is in a position to object to its distribution in this manner. Download and read the statement here: https://www.sacred-texts.com/ufo/coverup.htm.
