Caleb is still recovering from that high-speed football to the nards, but the show must go on. Today we cover the man, the myth, the legend, Michael Jordan.

BONUS #05: TTO/DoS Crossover: Intellectual Whack-a-Mole Edition (Chris Birkinbine Interview) Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

Two weeks ago we teamed up with Chris Birkinbine from A Dash of Science Podcast! Chris serves his community by participating in STEM programs with the local schools, and the Chief Science Officer for the Organization of Space Flight Professionals. When he isn't podcasting or volunteering, he works as a Range Systems Engineer for NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center.

We have been fortunate to be able to have a knowledgable guest help us run through our research before recording day. TTO is collectively scientifically illiterate, but we are dedicated to stating our biases, and getting our facts right. So we brought a smart guy to give us dumb guy explanations. Chris, it was a pleasure to have you on our show. We look forward to working with you again!

TTO 46: Unidentifiable Flying Flapjacks (UFOs Part 1) Jun 19, 2019

Show notes

Caleb grew the pony tail. Scott took his homework so seriously he turned into a UFO truther. Shea moved to Portland. Kasey paid money for the DVD box set of Ancient Aliens.

We've all made sacrifices to pull this one off.

This episode is the first of a two-part series on the spectacle of the UFOs, Ufologists, the truthers on Yahoo Answers, and an otherwise carefully curated selection of interesting sightings and reports. We sourced our friend, NASA scientist Chris Birkinbine, host of A Dash of Science podcast, to be our subject matter expert and fine tune our research. To hear his take on our research on UFOs listen to our bonus episode attached to this drop!

In this episode, we discuss six UFO encounters in depth. They are: 1. The Rosewell UFO Crash/Incident 2. Japanese Airlines Flight 1628 3. The Ariel School Sighting in Zimbabwe 4. The USS Nimitz "tic tac" sighting 5. Charlie Red Star 6. The Minot Air Force Base incident, and associated sightings.
