Today Stephen and Celine look at the news about claims of UFOs and UAP at the Congressional Hearing on July 26th 2023. This podcast has asked before, what would religious fundamentalists make of the existence of extra terrestrial life?

What do we actually know about this story? What was said during the hearing? What is the story behind characters such as David Grusch and Louis Elizondo? At a deeper level, how do existing beliefs play into how we interpret evidence? Stephen also shares with Celine some surprising reporting about just what certain officials, at and around, the Pentagon believe and how close they are to this story. A slightly different feel to this week's topic episode but we hope you like it.
