The ufological landscape of 1989 was very rigid. Long since gone were the humanoids of old, replaced with the greys: short humanoid beings with grey skin, big heads, and terrifying eyes that resembled black inky pools. Cattle mutilations were happening in record number, and by 1980 they had been linked to the UFO, and secret government tests. 1989 was the year that Bill Moore shocked the world at the annual MUFON conference in Las Vegas, when he exposed his involvement with the government's disinformation campaign against Paul Bennewitz. There was also another big case that would receive a great deal of exposure when a story about it was aired on the television program, Unsolved Mysteries. The story, of course, was that of the infamous Roswell Incident.

Tucked neatly into 1989 were two UFO incidents that didn't seem to fit in. The Veronezh Incident, which took place in Veronezh, Russia, on September 27, 1989, seems like a story out of a science-fiction film. A UFO lands, a giant alien gets out, along with a robot,; it disappears, reappears, the tall alien pulls out a wand and makes a kid disappear briefly, until the craft departs. Two days later, and even stranger, less well known case would occur in Conil de la Frontera in southern Spain.

Noted Fortean researcher, writer and artist, Red Pill Junkie joins me to discuss the Conil Case, a story that features red moons, shapeshifting aliens, hovering giants, and maybe some spy activity. We also discuss the UFOlogy Tarot deck, which was recently funded on Kickstarter, and boat loads of high strangeness!
