The Project Sign Estimate: Myth or Ministry?
Episode 588
Published 1 week ago
Description
In 1948, the U.S. Air Force’s Project Sign drafted a confidential "Estimate of the Situation" that allegedly weighed evidence on whether unidentified objects might be interplanetary. Though no copies survived, interviews with former signers and declassified documents reveal a clash between early openness to extraterrestrials and later suppression. This episode traces the estimate’s creation, disappearance, and the political forces that shaped its legacy.
