Researchers have been trying to solve the UFO mystery for nearly 80 years. Yet, we aren't really any closer to getting answers. Is it time to rethink how we approach UFO research and modify what we expect to get out of it? Jason McClellan explores that on this episode, with assistance from GenAI.

In recent years, many media outlets and UFO researchers alike have been enthusiastically presenting “UAP” as the new term of choice by the US government when referring to UFOs.
