MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MICROPHONES
We’re Matt and Anna. Aliens in the Clouds is where we follow strange stories, ask honest questions, and enjoy the conversation along the way.
Expect UFOs, mysteries, thoughtful speculation and the occasional unexpected detour. We’ll tell you what the evidence supports, what’s someone’s account, and where we’re simply wondering out loud.
Our friend Chris joins as a contributor, bringing another perspective to the conversation. Skinny Ed, our resident alien mascot, brings considerably less supervision.

ED’S HIGH THOUGHT · FICTIONAL HUMOR
Whoa, dude… Chariklo's rings are changing because the outer solar system is running a cosmic onion-ring buffet. The inner ring is getting thicker from Saturn sending back the soggy ones; the outer ring is disappearing because Neptune ordered ‘bottomless’ and took that literally. JWST didn't witness orbital evolution—it checked the fryer during lunch rush. Next occultation, Chariklo will be wearing a paper hat while Mercury—already shrinking—wedges itself into the cup holder and screams, ‘No ice, I'm driving!’
