If you haven't read Ben Miller's "the Aliens Are Coming!", it's a really good and accessible primer on the search for extraterrestrial life, contextualized with what we think we know about how life on Earth evolved. It reminds me a lot of Douglas Adams's nonfiction. Specifically for this conversation, it explains why the Fermi Paradox might not be such a big deal by comparing it to a rock star looking for specific lighters at specific moments in time during a show.

The most recent season of the podcast Strange Arrivals just wrapped up, which focused on some of the personalities in ufology. I think you fine goons would like it, and it resonates with Lampsacus's post right above this one, because it really gets into the weeds about how ufology is a pseudoscience and how some of the most famous UFO cases stem from poor scientific and journalistic practices borne of having a pre-arrived conclusion ravenous for evidence. It also gets into some ufologists being creeps and how (not unique among boys' clubs) the community worked to expunge accusers and protect itself, so be mindful of that if listening.
