UFOs – or as they’re now officially known, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) – are in the news once again thanks to an American whistleblower’s claims that the US government has secretly retrieved crashed alien spacecraft and their occupants.

Strangely, however, these claims seem to have been approved by none other than that bastion of secrecy known as the Pentagon.

Dr Adam Dodd, a media and communications scholar at the University of Queensland and one of the foremost commentators on UAPs, joined Danny Chifley on 2SER Breakfast to discuss this story and why there’s been increased interest in UAPs over the past few years.
