To most, a personal experience is nothing more than an anecdote that cannot be followed up on. On this episode, I share a myriad of my personal experiences with strange and anomalous phenomenon. You will hear about my spirit encounters, UFO sightings, an encounter with a strange creature, and much more. I don't claim to know what these experiences are or mean, but in some ways I hope that you will listen and share your own stories.

Pull out your humanoid catalogs and put your flaps on a map, it’s time for the season (maybe series?!) finale of Our Strange Skies. On this episode Nicole and Noëlle from The Quite Unusual Podcast stop by to talk about the landmark publication, The Humanoids. With the even longer subtitle of “a survey of World-Wide reports of landings of unconventional aerial objects and their alleged Occupants…” this special edition of Britain’s Flying Saucer Review was the first of its kind, devoted solely to the humanoids that UFO investigators and the press had largely ignored to this point.



We dive into this document, the larger implications it offers, what the true meaning of alien contact is, and we put all of these flaps up on map. Is Earth basically just a timeshare for aliens? Do they visit us at our most mundane moments? Are the Men in Black real estate brokers and did they pay Ed Walters to make Gulf Breeze more attractive to alien tourists? Why is the onesie the most efficient form of clothing? We explore this and so much more!

We're going to be taking a break from the Great UFO Conspiracy series, but before we do, I wanted y'all to hear this episode I recorded with Adam Gorightly (Historia Discordia), the author of Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius. We discuss Tal Levesque, and the origins of the Dulce Base myth, Bill Moore's role in disseminating disinformation, the Pratt Tapes, the UAP Hearing, Myrna Hanson, how some groups in ufology are becoming more militarized, and much much more.

164: Paranoid Skepticism with Emily Louise

Here is our uncut interview with David Riedel, son of Pat McGuire and author of "My Dad Was A Famous Alien Abductee. I Thought He Was A Joke — Now I'm Not So Sure." David talks about his time growing up in an abusive cult, the existence of the well and what that means to his life, spending time with Pat growing up, and what it means to get his story out there. 
We also talk about a FOIA request he made with the FBI, David Paulides' shitty YouTube video, David's own personal experiences, and much, much more.
For those interested in seeing that stupid David Paulides video, here it is.

An Interview with David Riedel

Ten miles from Bosler, Wyoming sits a ranch with a rather unusual feature. A well over 350 feet deep. A miracle well whose builder was told that he would never strike water. And yet, he did.
Pat McGuire's well is an enduring mystery. It's the largest artesian well ever dug in Wyoming, and it was dug in an area that everyone said would be dry. But Pat had faith and a little guidance from an alien angel named Michael. This well would bring with it a host of UFOs, alien abductions, hypnosis sessions, bids for governor, nationwide publicity, and a small cult.
Pat's story is a cautionary tale, and one that should be handled with care. And as his son, David Riedel put it, “...we should feel impelled to investigate and rescue a community living with the trauma of the unknown and indescribable. A community we greeted with sneers and derision for so long, a community we pushed to the outskirts of our cultural limits to be safely ignored. If it is all true ― or it is all lies and sickness ― w...
