I listened, and I might believe it if any of these things were verifiable. I'm pretty sure there was an X-Files episode with the same exact plot.

On one hand, the government was throwing plutonium around everywhere and injecting it into children, but they had to work on an elaborate, expensive, and time consuming alien scenario with flying saucers and genetically engineered child pilots--assuming there were some years spent on research before they grew and raised those "13 years old or older" kids and trained them how to pilot a flying saucer--in order to panic people?! The X-Files episode was more realistic.
