Paranoid Planet

Episode 9.4C: "INVASION: UFO" (part 4), feat. veteran UFO skeptic Robert Sheaffer


Listen Later

The one where we shoot down some unidentified objects with a cross section of American East coasters, dig up the remains of the infamous 1947 Roswell crashed "flying disc", and discuss the ideas and influence of Ufologists J. Allen Hynek, Jacques Vallée, Leslie Kean, and Avi Loeb, with Science writer and veteran UFO debunker, Robert Sheaffer.   

(This episode was NOT funded by the South Carolina Department of Tourism--though we dare say it should have been.)
