of a kind of an eccentric tinkerer, a kind of a Thomas Edison, right, savant of some kind who was behind it all. You get a little of this stuff that Shaw describes of aliens. But again, that line of argument tends to be an outlier.

The idea of beings, Martians, on the planet Mars, right, is one, again, not entirely distinctive or unique to the 19th century, but it really accelerates in the 19th century when you have Some astronomers, you mentioned Percival Lowell being one of the prominent people, who using their telescopes, they see what they believe to be canals.

Canals is a neat term to use because if there's canals, it implies engineering. And then you've got to explain, well, who's engineering them and why are they there? And, you know... An elaborate story gets concocted that if you notice them, they seem to come from the polar caps. And that means that it probably is the way in which Martians are getting water to dried out desert areas on the planet.

It's an idea that really has some legs around the turn of the century. By the 1920s, it's pretty clear from astronomers that the problem was that these canals were really just artifacts of bad telescopes. that with more refined telescopes, you could find out that these were just mistaken shapes due to the kind of inaccuracies of the instruments themselves.

So by the 20s and 30s, most serious scientists don't believe there's any sentient life on the planet Mars or any planet really in our solar system.

The thing about the UFO, right, is that no matter who's behind it, if they are real, these devices are advanced technologies. These are beyond what we are used to seeing, meaning that therefore whoever is behind it

has access to knowledge that most of us don't have, have abilities to create things using scientific and technological understanding that is beyond anything that we typically recognize in the present. In that sense, what the UFO thing has been as a phenomenon socially is a way to imagine not only the present, but the future, right? Particularly if it's aliens, right?

The idea of aliens are here visiting us in these spaceships that can do these really remarkable things. This offers us a glimpse of our potential future, right? And raises all sorts of questions about whether or not we will ever have those capabilities. Can we achieve these self-same things? But even if it's not the aliens, Then what you get is, as you do today with the U.S.
