In this episode of Haunted Talks, we explore one of those simple-sounding but incredibly complex questions: What counts as evidence?

Using the dramatic December 2024 sightings over New Jersey as a starting point, we investigate how UAP encounters are reported, investigated, and often dismissed. From schoolyard landings and military accounts to fleeting videos and solitary experiences, we examine the fragile boundary between what is witnessed and what is believed.

We also draw comparisons to paranormal investigation, where researchers face many of the same challenges: limited tools, elusive phenomena, and the constant push to validate the unexplainable.

Because sometimes, the real mystery isn’t what happened.
It’s how we can prove that it did.
