Marc Hartzman, friend of the show and author of We Are Not Alone: The Extraordinary History of UFOs, Aliens, and Our Hopes, Fears, and Fantasies, returns to the Casual Space Podcast to dive into the intriguing world of UFOs!  Marc’s new book goes way beyond the familiar stories of iconic UFO sightings, (Roswell and the Phoenix Lights).  Marc discusses how these events have shaped both public perception and government disclosure over the decades. Children’s encounters with UFO’s? The government acknowledgement of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena)? We Are Not Alone is not afraid to tackle these topics. Marc’s research and thoughtful storytelling make this episode an intriguing journey through history, pop culture, and the enduring question—are we truly alone? “The nature of UFOs is that it remains a mystery. But that’s what makes the search for answers so fascinating.” – Marc Hartzman About Marc Hartzman: Marc Hartzman is an author and historian deeply interested in the unusual and unexplained.
