This Week in Space 51: UFOs and Occam's Razor

Since at least the 1940s, UFOs and alien encounters have been a part of popular culture, and with tens of millions of true believers across the globe, these are powerful ideas with staying power. What makes these stories so appealing? Do alien visitations even make sense? If so, why are they so interested in us? Dale Skran, Chief Operating Officer of the National Space Society, joins us to apply Occam's Razor to these and other questions about what's out there.
