Thom Reed is a successful businessman from a family whose UFO related experiences over the past fifty plus years are among the best documented in the world of UFO studies. So much so that the Reed's "Berkshires UFO" incident of September 1, 1969, became the first (Off-World incident) to be officially recognized and formally archived in the United States as historically true by the office of governor of any state, in this case, the Governor of the State of Massachusetts. The State induction appeared on the front page of the Boston Globe and was covered live by ABC News NY. In 2015 a park was created at the location and a commemorative sculpture erected. The UFO Monument Park" is located on Covered Bridge Lane in Sheffield, MA and is now a popular filming location for shows including Ancient Aliens, Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix, and Travel Channel. The history-making incident is displayed in the International UFO Museum in Roswell. Reed is currently a Fox Prime-Time and News Nation contributor, with respect to the UAP Hearings and/or his Berkshires UFO incident via Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix.

Contrary to popular belief and the stubborn insistence of academia, the man named William Shakespeare, a lifelong resident of Stratford-upon-Avon in England, was not the world-renowned poet, playwright and actor who wrote under the pen name of ‘William Shake-speare,’ nor did he ever claim to be. Who then was the real ‘William Shakespeare,’ and how do we know this for a fact? By reviewing the phenomenal amount of evidence supporting this conclusion compiled by my guest during her intensive, in-depth, seven year-long investigation into the question. It’s the subject of Monday’s “Meanwhile, Here On Earth.”Katherine Chiljan is an independent scholar who has studied the Shakespeare authorship question for more than 28 years. Chiljan is a graduate of U.C.L.A. (B.A. History) who first became interested in the controversy when Charlton Ogburn, author of The Mysterious William Shakespeare (1984), appeared in a TV debate with a Shakespeare professor. She then started doing her own research, eventually publishing two anthologies about the 17th Earl of Oxford, and acting as editor of the Shakespeare-Oxford Newsletter. In 2003, she debated English professors on the topic at the Smithsonian Institution. Chiljan was inspired to write Shakespeare Suppressed: The Uncensored Truth About Shakespeare and His Works (2011) after hearing a prominent English professor insult doubters of the traditional Shakespeare on national television. The book took almost seven years to complete and earned her an award for distinguished scholarship from Concordia University, Portland, OR, in April 2012.
