Episode Notes We're back with a zine scene installment that is going to segue into our next episode--clever, right? This issue of FSR has it all--bizarre humanoid encounters, weirdly shaped UFOs, and complaints about the economy! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes action, and more!

Episode Notes So this is a new thing I've wanted to do forever: there are a lot of early Saucer Life Episodes which are short--really short-- and could use some additional oomph. So we're trying it out with our January 2018 episode on The Robertson Panel. Following the original episode is an examination of some of the ways the Panel was discussed in the newspapers from the 60s to the 21st Century....

Episode Notes This episode is sort of a continuation of our exploration of Bryant and Helen Reeve's Flying Saucer Pilgrimage --we're looking at the story of Salvador Medina, who the Reeves christened "The Mexican Adamski." It's an interesting tale, and deviates a little bit from the contactee norm! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes action, and more! Website T...

Episode Notes In this episode, we're looking at Flying Saucer Pilgrimage , a 1957 book by Bryant and Helen Reeve that details their 23,000 mile road trip to meet various contactees, their role in promoting Contactee lectures in Detroit, and more! This Techtopia episode has an interview with their grandson that was a valuable resource! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes...

Episode Notes It's the second part of our AMA extravaganza. In this episode: a dinner party, beer choices, UFO novels, my view on the most credible phenomena, and more! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes action, and more! Website Twitter Instagram Facebook

Episode Notes I got so many questions that I need to stretch this over two episodes (which works out well since I'm going on vacation...). Some GREAT questions here in this first half--nice, thinky questions that I'm going to be reconsidering over and over for a while, which is always nice. Here's the link that I mention at the end of the episode! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episod...

Episode Notes It’s a new episode category—join us for Saucer Law! In this installment, we’re going to be looking into the groundbreaking case of Ground Saucer Watch vs. CIA. In the second half of the 1970s, the newly strengthened Freedom of Information Act was put to good use by researchers and advocates of all kinds, including the UFO community. Would the government play ball? Or would THE TRUTH...

Episode Notes In this episode, we conclude the story of this years UFO-related road trip. Join us for some discussion of the Piedmont Lights, the Cape Girardeau UFO crash, and more!

Episode Notes It’s time for the first part of our our annual(ish) road trip adventure. As usual, these are fairly light and breezy, perfect for a bright spring day. Or something. This year, I went down to Missouri on the trail of Buck Nelson , the Piedmont UFO sightings, the mysterious happenings in the “Marley Woods” area, and the alleged Cape Girardeau UFO crash. In this first part, I'll be cove...

Episode Notes The Zine Scene returns with another very early issue of (California) UFO Magazine! Like the first issue, this one shows off the diversity of the UFO scene, from articles and opinions that range from the nuts and bolts to the more etherial side of the UFO spectrum. There are some interesting ads, fun contactee stories, letters to the editor, and all sorts of other amusements, along wi...

Episode Notes In this episode we look at the 1997 video Area 51: The Alien Interview. It’s a wild ride featuring convicted fraudster Sean David Morton, who I urge you to read about at ufowatchdog.com ! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes action, and more!

Episode Notes In this episode, we’re going to look at “Flying Saucers and the Father’s Plan” by Laura Munro. This is an interesting book; it’s part Contactee tale and part commentary on other Contactees (which was more rare than one might expect). It was published by Gray Barker’s Saucerian Press and, thanks to Barker’s record keeping, we have some interesting insights into the book’s development...

Episode Notes In this installment of the Zine Scene, we’re looking at the very first issue of UFO Magazine, from 1986, and a number of other very early editions from 1987. For those of us who came to the magazine much later (the late 90s, in my case), these early issues are a bit different than what we might expect. You can purchase these issues for download as PDFs at a very reasonable price at t...

Episode Notes The Rockefeller family was a frequent target of conspiracy theory in the United States. One of their detractors was Peter Beter, a conspiracy theorist whose frequently outlandish conspiracy theories also targeted the Federal Reserve system and the Soviet Union. He spread his message through recorded messages distributed on cassette tape to subscribers, released monthly from 1975 to 1...

Episode Notes A popular request for a topic, we're going to look at Bill Moore's famous (infamous) speech at the 1989 MUFON International UFO Symposium that threw a spotlight on the topic of government disinformation in the UFO sphere.

Episode Notes We conclude our initial examination of Robert Renaud's 1960s contact experiences. There's another Korendian base on earth, Lin-Erri shows up to beguile our hero, and we get alien lectures on geopolitics, economics, and birth control!

Episode Notes So today, we're going to look at a contactee who was active from the 60s all the way up into the 21st-century, which may be a first. At least in my experience. His name is Robert Renaud and he had some very interesting experiences and a very distinct, entertaining way of writing. There's so much material that we cannot hope to cover it all, even over multiple episodes, so be sure to...

Episode Notes It's the Zine Scene, and we're checking out the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization's Bulletin! This episode covers 1972 and it's an oddly low-key year. But there are some significant books that come out, and some fascinating sightings, including some very odd humanoid encounters! Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon !

Episode Notes Today, we're going to take a look at a Contactee named Eugene Drake. Never heard of him? Neither had I. What's his claim to fame? Um.... He might have been the source for the original Contactee-style account, years before George Adamski or Truman Bethurum did their thing. It's a strange story. Much thanks to The Saucers that Time Forgot for their work on this story, as well as Håkan...

Episode Notes It's a straight-forward, good old fashioned UFO sighting story! No mind control! No underground bases! No weirdness! It's just a story of solid witnesses, strange things in the sky, and military bureaucracy. Which, in a way, makes it the quintessential UFO tale. Like the show and want more?

Episode Notes In this episode, we finish our examination of the Gulf Breeze Six with a closer look at the work of Vance Davis, including some clips of appearances with Art Bell and, in one case, with Richard Hoagland! Do Vance's appearances and book make the story more intriguing? Less so? Tune in and find out! Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon ! Website Twitter Instagram Faceb...

Episode Notes This has been one of the most request Saucer Life topics--seriously--and it's wild. I only ever knew the basics of this story and while it's not the deepest rabbit hole we've ever been on there are definitely some twists and turns. Enough that it's gonna be a two parter. Doing this episode would have been difficult without online resources such as Jack Brewer's post on the subject at...

Episode Notes We're finishing up our look at the Ed Walters's Gulf Breeze sightings with his book about the abduction hypnosis he underwent to try to find out THE TRUTH about what happened to him in 1987 and 1988. And, as we find out, much earlier.... Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon ! Website Twitter Instagram Facebook This podcast is powered by Pinecast .

Episode Notes We're back for the second part of our look at the Gulf Breeze UFO sightings! This time, we'll be focusing largely on investigations of Ed Walters's claims and his debunkers. Guest starring Phil Klass! Additional sources The Randle Report: UFOs in the 90s by Kevin Randle A pretty good archive of clips from the "For the People" radio show from the early 90s A collecti...
