    We present independent journalist Terry Hansen, author of “The Missing Times,” explores ongoing news media participation in the UFO Cover-up. But this discussion goes beyond that.

But despite all the promises of UFO disclosure, especially since the secrets of latest Pentagon UAP studies were revealed, has anything really changed?

  • August 10, 2025 — Dimensional Portals: Ronald Meyer and Mark Reeder
    A rollicking episode about strange paranormal encounters, interdimensional portal areas, understanding the alien mind, and even serial killers. Joining Gene on this episode is Ronald Meyer, a seasoned paranormal experiencer, with encounters ranging from out-of-body experiences and cryptid sightings to non-dual awakenings. He is the owner of Centre Communications, a film production company, and has produced and directed feature films in Hollywood. In September 2023, Centre Communications premiered the feature film "The Mysteries of Bradshaw Ranch: Aliens, Portals, and the Paranormal" at a conference in Vernal, adjacent to Skinwalker Ranch. During the movie's production, the crew encountered intelligent alien entities and other paranormal phenomena. His partner in crime is Mark Reeder, whose novels can be found at Lulu Publishing (hard copies) and at Amazon (ebooks). He’s also kicked around the universe long enough to have more than a few bumps and bruises. Roughed up and battered like his hat, he’s still looking for the exit. Our special guest cohost is Paul Dale Roberts, aka The Demon Warrior, a Fortean investigator who looks into all things paranormal from ghosts to demons to cryptids to UFOs. He has investigated paranormal hot spots like Area 51; Skinwalker Ranch; Stonehenge; Bridge over River Kwai in Thailand; Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb; Bodie, CA (Ghost Town); Black Dahlia grave site; Alcatraz; San Quentin Prison and Folsom Prison; Edinburgh Castle; Notre Dame in Paris, France; and others.

  • Classic Episode: June 8, 2014 — UFOs: Ted Roe of NARCAP
    Gene and Chris present Ted Roe, Executive Director of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena. NARCAP was founded in 1999 by Chief Scientist Dr. Richard Haines and Roe. Their information page says, that, "Through careful planning and execution, NARCAP has grown to be a respected research organization dedicated to studying UAP and aviation safety for the public's benefit." Listeners will notice that they refer to such objects as UAP, short for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The term UFO is not used in their ongoing research, and we'll focus on the best cases they've investigated and, of course, listener questions. Curioiusly, it's a label later attached to such phenomena by the U.S. government, although nowdays it refers to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.

  • August 3, 2025 — UFO Hoaxes with John Keeling
    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
