The episode opens with a look at Tehran in the 1970s, a modern city under the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, with one of the strongest air forces in the Middle East. We set the stage for the night of September 18–19, when dozens of residents began calling the control tower at Mehrabad International Airport, describing a brilliant object glowing above the city.

The first act covers the initial sightings: how air traffic controller Hossein Pirouzi saw a pulsating multicolored light that moved erratically across the sky, not a star, not a plane, but something entirely different. The Iranian Air Force took the matter seriously and scrambled a U.S.-built F-4 Phantom II interceptor from Shahrokhi Air Base.

Listeners will hear how that first pilot’s approach ended in disaster when every instrument in his aircraft failed, radar, communications, and flight controls, only to return to normal as he turned away from the object.

In the second act, we follow Major Parviz Jafari, one of Iran’s most skilled pilots, as he takes off in a second F-4. His encounter reads like a movie: a radar lock on a massive object the size of a tanker, a visual sighting of a sphere flashing red, blue, and orange lights, and an attempt to fire a missile that fails the moment he presses the trigger. Then comes the most chilling moment, a smaller, glowing object detaches from the main one and speeds directly toward his jet.

Listeners will experience Jafari’s adrenaline and fear as his controls die, his jet goes silent, and the object stops just short of collision before returning calmly to its “mother ship.” We’ll recount the strange descent of another smaller object that seemed to land near the city of Rey, and how a dawn helicopter search found nothing, no debris, no crater, no explanation.

The episode closes with the aftermath: how U.S. intelligence took immediate interest, producing a Defense Intelligence Agency report circulated all the way to the White House. The report called the case “a classic” that met every criterion for a genuine study of the UFO phenomenon.

I’ll reflect on why the Tehran incident remains one of the most credible military UFO cases ever recorded, a perfect storm of technology, testimony, and mystery, and how its legacy continues to influence today’s discussions about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

Is there life in space? Mainstream science is converging on a positive answer. So why are people still talking about the so-called Fermi paradox?

We examine the evidence for some important questions: Is there water beyond our little blue ball? Is there life in space? If so, what do we know about it? Where is everybody? Have they already arrived?

Bio

Ken is the author of several books, including UFOs In the Bible, Before Roswell, and Fermi’s Paradox is Bullshit. I have also authored commentaries on two of the major Sumerian creation myths, the Enuma Elish, and the Atrahasis Epic, and am the lead translator and commentator for the Bara Bible, a completely new Old Testament translation like nothing you have seen before, based on a fresh etymological deep dive into the original ancient Hebrew texts. I have also written a couple of novels and a lot of poetry just for fun.

As a professional systems analyst, I have come to realize that any system is only as good as its data, and that one of the key factors in data quality is consistency. While my degree from the University of Northern British Columbia is in computer science, I minored in anthropology, and have studied a broad range of other topics including physics and electronics engineering at the College of New Caledonia and Vancouver Island University, religion and philosophy at Briercrest College, and business administration at the University of British Columbia. These further studies cemented the fact that there exists a set of universally consistent patterns, the true essence of which we have only scratched the surface of. Even with our limited understanding, we have developed truly miraculous technologies and have come to understand our place in the universe as a unique one.

However, the consistent story that is becoming more and more evident is that this uniqueness may be somewhat misinformed. The big picture of patterns emerging from phenomenology, mythology, archaeology, astronomy, and physics is beginning to form an emergent view of consistency across these varied disciplines – a view where modern man is not the pinnacle of creation as we have been led to believe.

My writing thus far has endeavored to begin exploring some of the puzzle pieces, in a way that is consistent with an overarching paradigm that includes seemingly disparate views. It is my hope to continue to bring these viewpoints one step closer together, with an eventual goal of possibly integrating more of them in an explicit way. So far, I am working with a lot of hints, but each of these hints is solidly evidence based. The more I dig, the more amazed I become at where the evidence seems to lead, but only when we have defined a more complete and widespread dataset can we truly draw meaningful conclusions with a foundation stronger than speculation. It is my dream that soon the evidence will coagulate in a truly meaningful and incontrovertible manner, and it is to this end that I will continue to aim my efforts.

On the morning of April 6th, 1966, in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton South, hundreds of schoolchildren were enjoying their morning recess when the ordinary became extraordinary. Over the playing fields of Westall High School, a strange silver disc appeared in the sky, silent, gleaming, and moving in ways no aircraft should. Within minutes, one of Australia’s most intriguing UFO mysteries had begun.

In this episode, we explore what really happened on that clear autumn day when a whole school witnessed something unexplainable. Students described a metallic disc-shaped object, round with a domed top, gliding across the sky and descending toward a nearby open field known as The Grange Reserve. Some said it landed. Others said it hovered just above the ground before shooting away at incredible speed. And hovering above it all, literally, were several light aircraft, seemingly chasing or circling the mysterious object.

More than 200 people, students, teachers, and locals, witnessed the event. Their accounts, though varied in detail, shared a striking consistency: a strange object, a sudden descent, and a rapid, silent departure. In the minutes after it vanished, several students raced to The Grange and found a circular patch of flattened grass, as if something heavy or hot had pressed down upon it. One girl reportedly fainted at the site and was carried away by ambulance, a name that would later vanish from the school’s records.

Then, the men in suits arrived.

Witnesses recall that uniformed officers and possible air-force personnel showed up soon after. Teachers were told not to speak to the media, and students remember their headmaster warning them to stay silent. But the story leaked anyway. Local papers ran headlines like “Flying Saucer Mystery: School Silent.” Reporters came knocking, and for a short while, Melbourne buzzed with talk of flying saucers over the suburbs.

The official explanations came quickly: it must have been a weather balloon, or perhaps a secret military experiment. Some researchers later suggested the HIBAL project, a Cold War program using large silver balloons to monitor radiation, could have been responsible. But no HIBAL launches were logged near Melbourne that day, and witnesses insisted what they saw moved with purpose and speed, nothing like a drifting balloon.

Almost six decades later, the Westall UFO incident remains Australia’s largest mass sighting of an unidentified flying object. No official report has ever surfaced, and the mystery has only deepened with time. The children who once looked up from their schoolyard are now adults, still wondering what it was they saw that morning, and why they were told to forget.

Sheryl developed a deep interest in the UFO phenomenon, catalysed by her father-in-law who attended a UFO meeting in Brisbane in the 1960s, where the famous alien contactee, George Adamski, was guest speaker.  In 1988 she joined UFO Research Queensland, and three years later was asked to take on the role of President. In 1992 Sheryl and her late husband, Dr Martin Gottschall, established the first close encounter support group in Brisbane, facilitating 3 support group in total during the 1990s.

On a parallel path Sheryl also has a life-long interest in the paranormal which began in her teenage years, but in 1980 she began seriously studying the phenomenon of Near Death Experiences (NDEs). Soon after she joined the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDs) and in 1995 hosted Dr Ken Ring for the Brisbane leg of his Australian tour where he presented research for his future book Mindsight: Near Death and Out Of Body Experiences In The Blind.

Dr Rings book “The Omega Project: Near Death Experiences, UFO Encounters, and the Mind At Large” (1992) ignited Sheryl’s interest in the connections between UFOs and NDEs which was also being reported in the lives of UFO witnesses she was interviewing. Some years later in 2012, she established the monthly Afterlife Discussions group, an associated IANDS chapter now known as Strange Encounters, where she continued to find links between UFOs and the afterlife in the stories experiencers shared.

In 2021, Sheryl was invited to become the Australian representative for the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER), the first truly global international UFO organisation which aims to prepare the public for alien contact.

She speaks about the UFO phenomenon, the Afterlife and Strange Encounters at public meetings, podcasts, conferences, community groups, schools, libraries and has given hundreds of media interviews. Sheryl has written for many UFO and New Age magazines and in 2018 was a regular guest on the weekly Spooky Action radio show. In 2019 she co-hosted the weekly Strange Encounters radio show, then in 2022 she co-hosted the Strange Encounters podcast on you tube. She continues her role as president for UFO Research Queensland, receiving and documenting UFO reports from the public as well as hosting the monthly online member meetings.

Sheryl has had many paranormal and UFO experiences herself including an NDE, OBEs, bi-location, automatic writing, UFO sightings and contact with “greys”. Recently retired, she previously offered clinical hypnotherapy for clients and taught a wide variety of workshops on esoteric subjects which enrich her understanding of UFO and paranormal phenomena.

On a cold November evening in 1986, a Japan Airlines cargo flight became the center of one of the most credible and mysterious UFO encounters ever recorded. In this episode, we dive into the strange and chilling story of Japan Airlines Flight 1628, a routine journey that turned into a 30-minute chase across the skies of Alaska.

At the controls that night was Captain Kenju Terauchi, a seasoned pilot and former fighter aviator with nearly three decades of experience. Alongside him were his co-pilot, Takanori Tamefuji, and flight engineer Yoshio Tsukuba. Their mission was simple: fly from Paris to Tokyo, with a stop in Anchorage. Everything was calm until 5:11 p.m., when the captain spotted two bright lights about thirty degrees to the left and slightly below their Boeing 747.

The lights didn’t behave like normal aircraft. They mirrored the plane’s speed and direction perfectly. For several minutes, the crew watched as the lights danced alongside them, until they suddenly darted forward and stopped just outside the cockpit windows. The cabin filled with a warm amber glow. The captain described feeling the “heat of the light” on his face and seeing two square-shaped objects about fifty meters across, each with rows of bright circular lights.

When the co-pilot called Anchorage Air Traffic Control to ask about nearby traffic, controllers reported nothing in the area. Yet the crew insisted they were seeing two objects less than a mile away. Their radio began to fill with static whenever the lights approached, a strange interference that made communication nearly impossible.

Minutes later, the objects disappeare, but radar at Anchorage picked up something unusual trailing the Japanese flight. The military command center at NORAD’s Regional Operations Command also confirmed radar returns that matched what the crew was reporting. At one point, the object appeared on three separate radar systems at once, yet none of them could identify what it was.

As the plane neared Fairbanks, Alaska, Captain Terauchi saw something even large, a massive, dark shape hovering in the distance. He described it as a “gigantic spaceship,” nearly twice the size of an aircraft carrier. Terrified, he requested permission to change course. Air traffic control agreed, and the captain took sharp turns and dropped altitude, trying to get away. But the unidentified object seemed to follow, matching every move.

When Anchorage offered to scramble military jets, the captain refused, fearing an escalation. Moments later, the object vanished from view. A nearby United Airlines flight and a military aircraft were redirected to confirm the sighting, but by the time they arrived, the sky was clear.

The Japan Airlines cargo plane landed safely at 6:20 p.m. The incident became the subject of official FAA and military reports, totaling hundreds of pages of radar data and transcripts. Captain Terauchi was later reassigned to desk duty, though he stood by his account until retirement.

To this day, the JAL1628 incident remains unexplained. Multiple radar detections, visual sightings by three experienced pilots, and maneuvers far beyond known human technolo, all recorded in official document, make it one of aviation’s most enduring mysteries.

This landmark new UFO research takes Close Encounter, CE, phenomenon to new dimensions, not only is Pascagoula considered the best documented CE, but it now may be the only one reported in a nuclear and military involved area. And it was also involved in bringing about today’s disclosure. On October 11, 1973, shipyard employees, Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson went fishing in the Pascagoula River.

What happened next changed the world. They reported that humanoid entities abducted them in what became international news. But because of the general lack of documentation such abduction reports are often considered low-life, hoax material and unrecognized even by ufologists. They were harshly harassed. However as our investigation continued, this one differed. It had so many witnesses to the object and events that now it is considered the best documented of any CE. But important questions dogged its credibility: ‘Why them?’ and ‘Why there?’

This new information can provide answers. They worked for an installation that was closely associated with and near one that made nuclear submarines, some armed with nuclear missiles. The CE occurred in this area. This sheds a new light on the events; UAP are reportedly interested in nuclear sites and accounts of UAP near our most secured areas receive respect and critical examination. This could be comparable to the activity over missile silos. It also included strange abductions; the world’s largest UFO wave; an unidentified sound with many witnesses; prophecy and weird hypnosis results; a large US military reconnaissance; and mind control elements, such as people in trances behaving like machines.

Additional reports of an Unidentified Submerged Object (USO), underwater activity, and trans-medium travel were well investigated also. Even sightings near nuclear facilities are considered dangerous, let alone abduction. UAP mental effects near nuclear sites are just as dangerous as physical ones; hence, CE phenomenon should now be recognized. Moreover, Pascagoula was instrumental in bringing about the Tic Tac events and today’s disclosure. Thus Pascagoula is extraordinary but this is for a combination of solid reasons: the large number of credible witnesses, it is a nuclear and military sighting, there were mind-control effects, and it helped to bring about the most consequential UAP incident in modern history, the Tic Tac event. Written with help from Robert Salas.

These stories, from Ukraine in 1982 and Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1964, have stunned military insiders and UFO researchers for decades.

What happens when unidentified flying objects appear at the most secure nuclear sites on Earth? And what does it mean when those same objects seem to control or disable missiles with ease?

In Ukraine, 1982, Soviet missile officers witnessed something that defied all logic. A huge, glowing disc-shaped object appeared over a nuclear missile base near the city of Bershad. Within minutes, control panels in the underground bunker lit up, the launch sequence had begun. The codes were entered automatically, and the countdown started. No one had touched the controls. The officers could only watch in horror as their nuclear weapons prepared to fire. Then, as suddenly as it began, the system shut down. The glowing craft rose silently into the night sky and disappeared. Moscow’s official investigation listed the cause as “unknown interference.”

Eighteen years earlier, a similar event took place on the other side of the world. At Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, U.S. Air Force officers were tracking a test missile over the Pacific Ocean. During the flight, radar and cameras picked up a bright, disc-shaped UFO that approached the missile at incredible speed. The object circled the missile several times, fired flashes of light at it, and the warhead was instantly disabled. The missile dropped out of flight. The entire encounter was filmed, but the footage was confiscated and classified. The officers involved, including Lieutenant Robert Jacobs and Major Florenze Mansmann, later confirmed that what they saw was no illusion. They said it was intelligent, precise, and deliberate.

Both incidents reveal a pattern that can’t be ignored: UFOs and nuclear weapons seem to be connected. During the Cold War, similar reports came from bases across the United States and the Soviet Union, glowing discs hovering over missile silos, nuclear systems shutting down or activating on their own, and radar contacts showing unknown craft moving with impossible speed.

In this episode, the host of the Alien UFO Podcast explores these two historic encounters, drawing on witness testimony, declassified information, and research by UFO investigators like Robert Hastings, who has spent decades studying the UFO–nuclear connection.

Were these UFOs showing us that our weapons are not as secure as we think? Were they sending a warning, or protecting humanity from itself?

Tune in to this episode of the Alien UFO Podcast to discover how these extraordinary events may prove that someone, or something, is keeping a close watch on Earth’s most dangerous weapons.

The nonfiction book, “It Never Happened” Volume 1, confirms and validates a colossal cover-up of the “UFO question” by the U.S. Air Force. It is authored by retired Air Force Captain David Schindele who was a former Minuteman ICBM launch control officer stationed at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota. It was there in 1966 when he was involved in a very serious incident where a flying object managed to take down all ten of his nuclear-tipped missiles and render them unlaunchable! This very grave situation involved the strategic U.S. nuclear deterrent force, which was America’s first line of defense in the Cold War.

It resulted in the Air Force “instructing” Captain Schindele to never speak of the incident again and telling him that, “As far as you are concerned, It Never Happened.” Captain Schindele maintained his silence for nearly forty years until other former missileers began to speak out about their incredible unearthly incidents. It was then that he attempted to learn the long history of Air Force cover-up. He needed to find out why the Air Force publicly insisted that flying objects didn’t exist, that they posed no threat to national security, and that there was “nothing to investigate.” He also found he needed to confirm to the world the awesome Truth that “We are not alone in the Universe.”

The book reveals the enormous amount of attention given to Unearthly Flying Objects by the Air Force, which is documented in its own investigative efforts code-named Project Sign and Project Grudge. Those projects are examined in detail, which outlines a trail of convoluted and contorted investigative activity by the Air Force to determine modus operandi of the objects and their threat to national security. This investigative activity was impacted by crucial and essential efforts by high level officials to also protect Truth of the UFO question and the closely held Magnificent and Monumental Secret of Roswell and other recoveries. Released secret and top secret government documents bring all this into the open and into perspective, which then serves to confirm the reality and Truth of the “UFO question.”

Bio

Retired Air Force Captain David D. Schindele spent his active military career as an ICBM launch control officer with both the Atlas E and Minuteman One weapon systems, and then he remained in the Air Force reserve long enough to obtain his retirement papers and retain his officer commission. After active duty, he worked as an aerospace engineer in development of the Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory, and also Apollo astronaut backpacks used on the moon. He then settled into a thirty-two year career as a computer systems analyst working for two major companies, until retiring in 2002.

For nearly forty years, Captain Schindele kept his Air Force mandated secret of the un-earthly experience he had, which put ten of his Minuteman missiles out of commission. It was only after other missileers began to tell of their similar experiences that he recognized that Truth of the “UFO question” must be released to all of humankind. He currently resides in Washington State with his wife Diana, in a marriage of twenty-one years, and they have a combined family of four adult children and eight grandchildren.

These sightings, centered on a Florida contractor named Ed Walters. His story began quietly on the evening of November 11, 1987, when he claimed to see a glowing disc-shaped object hovering above his neighborhood in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Armed with a Polaroid camera, Walters captured a series of photographs that quickly became some of the most widely circulated UFO images of their time.

Listeners will hear how Walters’ initial encounter sparked a wave of reports throughout the Gulf Coast community. Over the following months, he said the mysterious craft returned again and again, sometimes following him in his car, sometimes appearing over his house. He described beams of blue light, encounters with small glowing beings, and even telepathic communication from what he called “the visitors.”

The episode traces the chain of events that followed: how local newspapers published his photos under the alias “Mr. X,” how national media descended on the small coastal town, and how organizations like MUFON (the Mutual UFO Network) sent investigators to examine the evidence. Optical physicist Dr. Bruce Maccabee would later analyze Walters’ Polaroids and conclude they showed no signs of manipulation. For many UFO researchers, the Gulf Breeze photos were the clearest visual record of a possible alien craft ever captured.

But the story did not end there. Two years later, a model of a flying saucer, eerily similar to the craft in Walters’ pictures, was discovered in the attic of his former home. Reporters replicated his photos using the model, sparking fierce debate over whether the Gulf Breeze images were genuine or fabricated. Walters denied any connection, insisting the model had been planted to discredit him.

Through archival recordings, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with investigators, this episode examines how the Gulf Breeze case evolved from a local mystery into a national phenomenon. We’ll also look at the cultural moment it created — a time when ordinary people with cameras were suddenly thrust into the center of the UFO conversation.

Was Ed Walters documenting a genuine visitation, or did the story become larger than the truth?
