S1/E5: David Grusch Has Never Met This Rock on Mars

David Grusch just told Congress under oath that the US government has recovered non-human spacecraft. I'm not going to tell you he's lying — that's a separate and genuinely complicated question. What I will tell you is that the internet's immediate response was to start finding alien skulls in every blurry Mars image ever taken. Today we're going through the five oldest tricks in the misidentification handbook: pareidolia, compression artifacts, terrible lighting, wishful thinking, and the specific crimes committed by YouTube thumbnails. I also managed to do a little gardening in NASA's less-public backyard so strap in for an adventure that will make UFO Twitter blush.
