The History & Science of UFOs

In this episode, we're revisiting the UFO phenomenon by taking a detailed look at their history in the United States, and how we ended up with the UAPs of today. What did Kenneth Arnold actually see on that fateful day in 1947? Why would the Air Force ever think it was good idea to reassure the public about UFOs by naming one of their investigations "Project Grudge?" Why is the Western U.S. the best place to spot UFOs?

It's (Finally) Nessie Time!

Can you believe we haven't done a Loch Ness Monster episode before now? Neither can we! In this episode, we take a look at the foundational stories that established Nessie as the legendary cryptid we know and love today and discuss the geologic and biologic feasibility of a large, carnivorous reptile existing in a cold, not-so-ancient, Highland lake. ** Uncropped Surgeon's Photograph: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lochness/legend3.html 2025 Nessie sighting: https://nypost.com/2025/03/04/lifestyle/loch-ness-monster-sighting-reported-first-in-2025-fantastic/ ** WE WROTE A BOOK!
