New! Unidentified--Diane Pasulka and the Bigfoot on Mars

Yeah, the title is weird, but trust me, it's in there. We transition this week from talking about Jacques Vallee to dig into DW Pasulka's American Cosmic, a book that's equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Plus, you know...Bigfoot on Mars. What more do you want, for god's sake. PS: Sorry it's a day late, but Willem UFO needed an extra day, and I didn't want to post without his art. I think it was worth it. Hope you agree. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
