Oh this is an article without substance just to promote a book?

I don't understand - is it unexpected that the person forming an argument for the alien hypothesis has written a book about it? That's not usually what people mean when they say "bias", and it's even further from being a good reason that the entire article "shouldn't be posted here". Or are you just making the assumption that the book's dumb "clickbaity" title must mean the author is full of shit?

I don't know enough about the science to have an informed opinion, but it seems to me that if the main skeptic is also selling a book based in their exciting alternate theory, that's kinda a huge red flag.
