Skeptoid

Programme 10 stories, 1918 to 2000

Brian Dunning's Skeptoid often gives the sceptical reading in this archive. It weighs in after the sightings, as part of the debate. On the Shag Harbour incident, Dunning argued in 2017 that marine flares or a meteoric fireball fit the reports. On Cash-Landrum, he noted that the US Air Force had no twin rotor helicopters in 1980, and he pointed to a doctor's diagnosis of alopecia areata. In 2014 he agreed with the FAA that the St. Clair County triangle was an advertising blimp. He called the Trinity crash claim a literal hoax.
