Skeptical science writer Mick West has taken on the chore of analyzing the spate of UAP videos released by the U.S. military, steadfastly investigating how some of the incidents could merely be mirages from flaws in newly deployed radar systems, as well as various sorts of well-understood visual artifacts regularly seen in cameras.

Hartmann was a photography consultant and a co-author of the Uni...
Sarah Scoles is author of the recently published book They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers.
