With the government recently issuing a new report on UFOs, Sirota talks to journalist Laura Krantz, whose new podcast series, “Wild Thing: Space Invaders,” looks at our culture's obsession with the idea of extraterrestrial life.

They also discuss whether or not the recent UFO mania is being driven by a military-industrial complex looking for justification for even larger Pentagon budgets.
