    Ep 027 - Let's Define Credible

    With everything in the news still revolving around the 2020 presidential election, many people have been posting things they have seen online as facts when in reality, there is no evidence to back up the claims. This has given rise to fact checkers on sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It is easy to look online and see stories that seem real, or shocking, and look amazing. But what makes a story credible? It comes down to evidence that is agreed upon by multiple sources. What makes UFO stories hard to credit is they tend to be single source accounts without hard evidence or physical proof. For fun, we discuss what the media has deemed to be most credible stories in regards to these UFO sightings and you the listeners can debate what evidence supports these accounts and what evidence it lacks.
