New! Unidentified--Astronaut sees ETs disassembling space lasers

After a brief hiatus, we continue our journey through Diane Pasulka's American Cosmic, where we meet a couple of interesting chaps--one, an astronaut who believes UFOs are guiding humans toward peace, and the other a well-respected immunologist who analyzes UFO debris. It's a weird world, folks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

No new episode this week, but listen for a quick show update

Sorry--schedule just caught up to me. But if you care to listen, I'll give you a quick overview of the end of the UFO series, as well as the next phase of The Paranoid Strain, coming in 2027. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.
