The Paracast — The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio

August 3, 2025 — UFO Hoaxes with John Keeling


Listen Later

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present skeptical UFO researcher John Keeling, author of "LANDED! The Great British Flying Saucer Hoax & Other Extraterrestrial Spoofs." It asks some important questions: What would we do if aliens landed? Would we offer greetings? Would we panic? Or would we shoot to kill? In 1967, a maverick group of British students wanted to know. As apprentices at Farnborough’s prestigious Royal Aircraft Establishment, they hatched an ingenious and audacious plot to test the authorities; landing multiple flying saucers across the width of England. Not only would "The Great Flying Saucer Hoax" challenge the Police, the Royal Air Force, the Army, and numerous government ministries, it also confronted Ufologists with the scenario they continuously prophesize (and claim to be prepared for). John's book also chronicles many other instances of extraterrestrial spoofing, to examine what such incidents might tell us about our hopes and fears of potential contact. After years of research, John does not embrace the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the phenomenon. John has written for The Fortean Times, and in addition to creating social media content for the East Anglian Astrophysical Research Organisation’s proposed UK SETI project, is completing his next book. He lives on the Essex coast, close to his two daughters. His web site: https://johnkeelingmedia.blog
