UFO witnesses who describe contact with otherworldly beings are often told "do not be afraid", that the beings "mean them no harm." On this episode of the Our Strange Skies podcast, the opposite is the case.

For this episode I'm joined by Derek Hayes, the host of the Monsters Among Us podcast, a paranormal expert for the Travel Channel's Paranormal Caught on Camera and one of the creators behind the upcoming documentary Shadows in the Desert, to discuss UFOs that shoot beams at the witnesses that shoot their guns. We cover a number of cases from Brazil and Argentina, as well as a few from the US of young boys being burned by UFOs.

Take cover under the... well... covers and join us for a hair raising, spine tinglingly frightening episode!
