The Welcome back to the UFO Rabbit Hole podcast. I'm your host, Kelly Chase. So now we're really starting to get to the good part.

As we discussed in the last two episodes, the Pentagon is confirmed that UFOs are real.

However, they very conspicuously avoided public speculation about what they could actually be.

What they have said basically boils down to this. There are

intelligently controlled technological objects being tracked in our skies and in our oceans that can do

things that we can't explain. We don't know what they are exactly, and we don't know who they

belong to, but they aren't ours, and we don't believe that they belong to any other country.

So what the heck are they? And does this mean what it sounds like it means? Although the Pentagon

has very purposefully not said the words, alien, or extraterrestrial, they have yet to offer

any other explanation. And so the natural conclusion for many is that

if they aren't from here, they must be from out there. So what evidence is there that it's aliens?

Like everything else that has to do with this topic, the answer is more complicated than you

might think. So get some snacks, clear your schedule, and buckle up, friends.

We've got a lot of ground to cover today.

And a great place for us to start is with Fermi's paradox.

In 1950, Enrico Fermi, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, who, as a side note, developed the first

nuclear reactor, was having lunch with his friends when he wondered aloud, where is everybody?

Fermi had been thinking about the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life, and it just didn't

make sense to him. After all, if the universe is 14 billion years old, and there are over a billion

trillion stars, how could we possibly be alone? And if we're not alone, shouldn't we have heard

from some of our neighbors by now? Just look at our own development as a species. In less than a million
