Summary

Gabe Lenners is the host of the new podcast Obscurum: Invasion of the Drones, which explores a mysterious wave of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena that happened in Nebraska and Colorado back in 2019, an event that has a lot in common with the recent wave of supposed drones seen in New Jersey and surrounding states. For this episode, I don my flexible skeptic hat while Gabe tells me about his illuminating experience reporting from the ground, first seeing drones himself, and then interviewing locals about their bizarre and sometimes frightening encounters. We also discuss some of the explanations from different government officials about the 2019 phenomenon, what people believe these flying objects could be, and the similarities to our recent media circus in the sky.

0:00.0	I very much air on the skeptical side, but at any moment I can throw that completely out the window, and I'm ready to believe.
0:12.0	Oh, I'm right there with you.
0:13.5	Maybe we're molders.

0:29.9	the Drones, which explores a mysterious wave of unidentified anomalous phenomena that happened in
0:37.2	Nebraska and Colorado back in 2019.
0:40.6	This event has a lot in common with the recent wave of supposed drones that filled the skies
0:46.7	of New Jersey and the greater northeastern United States, leading to a couple weeks of online
0:52.9	and offline panicked pandemonium, and of course,
0:57.2	unsatisfactory answers. For this episode, I don my trusty old, flexible skeptic hat, while Gabe
1:05.7	tells me about his illuminating experience reporting from the ground, first seeing the drones himself and then

1:25.9	what people believe these flying objects could be, and the
1:30.4	similarities to our recent media circus in the sky. With Gabe's help, I try to get to the heart of
1:37.9	whether these waves of mysterious drones are truly unexplained, and whether none of it, some of it, or all of it,
1:47.0	could be yet another American hysteria. I'm your host, Chelsea Weber Smith, and this is
1:55.3	American hysteria. I'm so excited to be here with Gabe, who I know will bring a very interesting conversation to our show today.
