Probed ingest of: I Debated UFOs With America’s Top Skeptic (It Got Ugly…)
Jesse Michels debates Skeptic founder Michael Shermer over how science should evaluate UFO reports, from nuclear-site incidents and the 2004 Nimitz encounter to Roswell, Palomar transients, abduction testimony, remote viewing, secrecy, and consciousness. Michels argues that converging witnesses, sensors, and records establish a serious unresolved anomaly; Shermer presses for base rates, reproducibility, complete sensor data, and physical evidence before attributing it to non-human intelligence.
