Digging Up Ancient Aliens

8. Close Encounters - Part 2 - Guest Erik Palmgren

1561 Germany, are reports of colors in the sky signs of alien battle? 1668 an American preacher looks through a telescope and notices something on the moon. 1187, as Saladin's forces break through the gates to Jerusalem, a few soldiers smuggle out a precious artefact and hide it on a Canadian island. 

Our host Fredrik continues the mission to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV-show Ancient Aliens. This week we are joined again by archaeologist and teacher Erik Palmgren on a sightseeing tour through the close encounters of our past. 

This week we finished up episode 4 from season one titled “Closer Encounters”. In this second half we do uncover old journals, a few theories and some new travel destinations. 

Topics discussed in this episode:

1561 Celestial phenomenon Nuremberg 

Cotton Mathers UFO

Plurality of worlds theory
