Skeptic Check: Drone Panic Revisited
from Big Picture Science Hosted by Big Picture Science
We have an update to our recent episode, Skeptic Check: Drone Panic. If you remember, our guest astronomer Andrew Franknoi recalled the story of Jimmy Carter having seen something mysterious in the sky when he was governor of Georgia in 1969. Astronomers at the time suggested it was likely Venus, as has been the case with other sightings, and for decades that was a widely accepted understanding of what he saw. But there is more to the story, as was brought to our attention by multiple BPS listeners. So, we invited Andrew back to discuss the revised account, and its more satisfying scientific resolution. Guest: Andrew Fraknoi - Professor of Astronomy at the Fromm Institute of the University of San Francisco Big Picture Science is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.
