Dead Cows, Aliens, & Ghosts: How Kevin Knuth Connects Them All

NASA physicist's UAP math survives. His conclusion doesn't.

Mayim Bialik ran the razor first — Brian finishes the cut.

Kevin Knuth is a tenured physicist, former NASA Ames researcher, and published exoplanet scientist who has done the actual math on the Nimitz encounter.

We cover:

• - Whether Tic Tac flight physics rules out conventional explanations

• - Why the 60% cross-cultural abduction pattern isn't what it looks like

• - The Malmstrom missile shutdowns and the three hypotheses Kevin ignores

• - What years of neutron analysis on alleged crash debris actually found

• - Why Mayim Bialik dismantled the light-day argument before Brian could.

The inference move — not the data — is what fails the razor every time.
