Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature filmmaker Darcy Weir. He's on a mission to bring the world's most captivating mysteries —UFOs, Cryptids, and beyond into the spotlight. Over the past two decades, he has crafted over 15 feature-length documentaries, making these enigmatic topics more accessible and shedding new light on them for the general public. Weir's eye-opening series "Pascagoula 73" explores the shocking UFO abduction in 1973 Pascagoula of Charles Hickson, Calvin Parker, Maria and Jerry Blair. A gripping tale of alien encounters, fear, and resilience that changed their lives. A true story blending mystery and humanity, in this documentary series. Our second guest is Dr. Irena Scott, whose work experience includes the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which employed her in Ph.D. level (GS-11) research in satellite photography, including its Air Order of Battle section. Dr. Scott served on the MUFON Board of Directors (1993 to 2000) and is a MUFON consultant in physiology and astronomy as well as a field investigator. She was a volunteer astronomer at the Ohio State University Radio Observatory “Big Ear” (noted for the WOW SETI signal that might be humanity’s only signal from ETs). Her books include: "Aliens And The Apocalypse: The Meaning of Alien Messages," "Beyond Reasonable Doubt — The Pascagoula Alien Abduction" (with Philip Mantle) and "Beyond Pascagoula: The Rest of the Amazing Story."
