Marsha Barnhart deep-dives into a just-closed case in Medina, Ohio of a large V-shaped low-flying craft. Upon closer examination, the Witness in this case displayed common characteristics found in other "high strangeness" witnesses.

Paul Carr discusses his presentation at this year's Mysteries of Space and Sky Conference held in Gambrills, MD November 9th.

Savannah Dollison conducted research into psychological barriers that explain why UFO and anomalous experience witnesses are often reluctant to report sightings.

Kenny Biddle has investigated hauntings, cryptids, and UFOs for years, and has solved many of these cases. He is persistent, patient, and creative, just like any good field investigator. We talked about some of the principles he applies to his work and he gives some examples, from ghosts to Elvis Presley. These principles apply broadly to solving any mystery. Our topics included EVP, photography, and serial experiencers.

While researching his book, the Justin reached out to Marsha in an attempt to get detailed information on API case 12-001. The Witness in this case was the night manager at a hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. On October 14, 2008, both he and the hotel night time security manager were outside talking when they saw a large Triangular UFO rise up from the Horseshoe Falls and silently glide over them.

The most unusual aspect of the case occurred in the early afternoon of May 10th 2009 when two men dressed in black came to the hotel looking for the Manager. Hotel Lobby Security cameras captured a short video snippet of these two men. This footage, made available during the original investigation, is perhaps the ONLY known case of genuine MIB captured on video.

Justin has written the most complete accounting of this case covering not only the original UFO sighting and the accounts supplied by the hotel employees who interacted with the men in black, but also in-depth information gathered directly from the Witness detailing a long series of unusual paranormal and anomalous experiences. And this fascinating story is but one in a book filled with unusual and provocative true, first-hand accounts of weirdness.

During this podcast, Marsha and the author discuss his book, The Spectrum, and examine a wide range of topics encompassing UFO's, anomalies, and paranormal experiences. Justin works in Marketing and Design and lives in the Philadelphia area. He writes a blog and maintains a website, Normal Paranormal.

Paul Carr welcomes Simone Mendez, whose contact with what appeared to be an official document detailing detection of extraterrestrial spacecraft by the US Government when she was in the US Air Force caused her several months of grief and resulted in the loss of her Top Secret security clearance. Here we give Ms. Mendez a chance to tell her story and set the record straight. Her story turns out to have many unanswered questions.

Host and Producer Marsha Barnhart welcomes API investigators Paul Carr and Savannah Dollison. The three cover a few of their recent investigations in-depth during a round-table discussion. They examine sightings in New Jersey, New York, Utah and Georgia, which covered the gamut from overhead "fly-by's" to unnerving close encounters!

What do photos and videos of Unidentified Aerial Objects add to the tangibility of "evidence" within the UFO research field? In fact, what IS "evidence" and what IS "proof"? Paul looks at these issues in episode 10 of his Unidentified Science series.

Host Paul Carr in conversation with Dr. Kevin Knuth, author of a recent article in The Conversation entitled "Are we alone? The question is worthy of serious scientific study."
