Beam Up To Podcasts About Aliens, UFOs, And ETs On Spotify

 

In scenes that felt eerily similar to that of a 80s sci-fi film, the U.S. Congress held a public hearing earlier this week on claims that the government has been covering up its knowledge of UFOs. 

Apparently, there have been sightings of a creature with orange skin, weirdly coiffed hair, and a poor command of the English language.

Following this week’s out-of-this-world hearing, Spotify thought it was a good idea to remind listeners of some podcast series and episodes that are available for free on its podcast app about aliens, UFOs or how to prepare for the inevitable, impending alien invasion.

Here are a few podcasts on Spotify that can satisfy your quest for the answer to the age-old question: Is there intelligent life on other planets?

• High Strange: From Tenderfoot TV and Audacy (Up and Vanished, Radio Rental), this investigative series finds host Payne Lindsey separating fact from fiction and breaking the stigmas surrounding the topic of UFOs – highlighting real-life cover-ups and infamous cases, all while leaving the tinfoil hat at the door. Could alien invasion explain Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert?
  
• Extraterrestrial: Extraterrestrial, a Spotify Original from Parcast, explores tales of alien encounters. Millions of people claim to have seen alien life, but no one can confirm any of it. Is there a more grounded explanation for these incidents, or is there really something lurking out there? Every Tuesday, a different alien occurrence is examined, in hopes of landing on a plausible explanation. No word on when the show will investigate the location of Spaceballs and its evil leader, Dark Helmet.
  
• ALIEN: Ancient Aliens: This episode of the Spotify Original podcast, Supernatural with Ashley Flowers, investigates the mysteries that make aliens seem plausible. The jury is still out on whether Flowers is actually plausible.
  
• Ancient Aliens: Who Really Built the Pyramids?: This episode of the Spotify Original podcast, Science Vs, aims to uncover whether the pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built with a helping hand from aliens, speaking with author Erich von Däniken, paleoanthropologist Dr. Shelby Putt, Egyptologist Dr. Mark Lehner, and archaeologist Prof. David S. Anderson. According to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, it's entirely possible that these ancient aliens were "woke."
  
• What the Heck Is Going on With These U.F.O. Stories?: New York Times original podcast, The Ezra Klein Show, breaks down David Grusch’s explosive claims from June 2023 where he testified under oath to Congress that there are long-standing covert programs within the U.S. government that possess crash materials of “nonhuman origin.” No word on the planetary origins of Rudy Giuliani.
  
• Wait, Are There Actually Aliens?: This episode of the New York Times podcast, Matter of Opinion, discusses what the government is and isn’t telling us, and what the obsession with classified extraterrestrial cover-ups says about our complicated relationship with power.
