Summary
It’s a subscriber only episode of Angry Planet where we sit down with drone and UAP journalist Kelsey Atherton to deliver on an old promise: making up for a balloon-related episode from February some of you didn’t like.
But first, we got into the news of the drone attack on the Kremlin, which occurred a few hours before we sat down to record. After that, Atherton takes us through his thoughts on the great high altitude object panic of 2023 and we dig into the meat of the episode: why it’s so hard to report on UAPs and why it’s often deeply professionally unpleasant to do so.

| 0:25.0 | Some scheduling stuff just didn't work out while also getting to record a |
| 0:30.5 | bonus for the subscribers so we kind of don't have anything for the main feed and |
| 0:34.2 | we have something that was explicitly promised as a bonus to the subscribers. |
| 0:38.5 | So what you're about to hear is about like the first 10 minutes of that. Back in February we had recorded an episode about the kind of the high |
| 0:47.0 | altitude balloon panic and the shooting down of those balloons and some of the subscribers |
| 0:52.0 | they weren't super happy about it and |
| 0:55.2 | they said that we were a bit condescending which I think we were and fair enough and I promised |
| 1:01.1 | a do-over kind of both an episode about UAP's taking it a little bit more seriously, kind of digging into it, |
| 1:10.0 | but also explaining why journalists are condescending on the topic and hate writing about it. |
| 1:17.6 | And that is what this is. |
