Welcome. It's episode 32 of UAP.

Stephen Deanor right here. Karen Curtis over there.

Hello.

We're glad to have you in another UAP adventure here today.

That's what it always is, right? Karen, it's always an adventure as we go through these crazy and wild stories that we have.

Always an adventure. You never know what to expect.

That's true.

But know that it's fully researched and very interesting.

And you know what else is always interesting?

Before we get into our topic here today, which is the Vatican.

Ooh.

Oh, you're like, what does the Vatican have to do with aliens?

Actually, science and astronomy are big parts of the Vatican. They are, and we're going to talk about all that today, and what secrets might be hidden in their archives and all that good stuff. The Pope has a telescope. He does, and I can talk about this. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to let you know this in the first minute of the show today. I am a Catholic, so I am allowed to say all the things that I'm going to let you know this in the first minute of the show today.

I am a Catholic, so I am allowed to say all the things that I'm going to say here today.

In fact, Stephen struggles with this podcast because he tries to keep his Catholicism in one little box,

and then he has the aliens in the other little box, and he doesn't want the aliens to influence the Bible. I try not to cross streams when it comes to both of them. But actually today,

it's funny you say that, Karen, because I think what we're going to find today is that there's

actually a bridge here. There is. Between religion and... Oh, big one. And, you know, the

possibility of life on other planets and throughout the universe.

So before we get into all that and what secrets might be hidden away in the Vatican,

how about a fact toy?

Do you have a fact toy today?
