Big Picture Science - Skeptic Check: UFO Conspiracy
UFOs are back. This
time they’ve landed on Capitol Hill in the form of a public, congressional
hearing. We watched the hearing with great interest, but felt dissatisfied when
it came to evidence. Claims that the government has alien technology are
obviously tantalizing. So tantalizing, in fact, that it’s easy to overlook
logical fallacies in how these claims are presented. We identify a few of the
missteps. But what would convince you that the government is aware of alien
visitation? Is the word of an authority figure all we need to accept that
“they’re here?”
