Understanding the State of UFO Evidence
I speak with Rod Burley about the state of UFO evidence and the problem of fragmented standards. We examine why the public conversation so often outruns the actual evidentiary basis.
We also discuss the framework behind UFOevidence.com and what it is designed to clarify.
The goal is not more noise, but a more serious way of evaluating claims. If this subject is going to mature, the standard of evidence has to mature with it.
