The Paracast — The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio episodes

August 31, 2014 August 31, 2014 — Chris Rutkowski
Explore 25 years of UFO sightings in Canada with long-time investigator Chris Rutkowski. He and his colleagues have accumulated a huge archive containing some 15,000 UFO cases in Canada. The new survey covers the years 1989 through 2013. When you check the report at his Ufology Research site, you'll notice that the number of sightings increased in 2012 before settling down to a somewhat lower, but still historically high, level in 2013. Says his bio: "Chris Rutkowski, BSc, MEd, is a Canadian science writer and educator, with a background in astronomy but with a passion for teaching science concepts to children and adults. Since the mid-1970s, he also has been studying reports of UFOs and writing about his investigations and research."

August 24, 2014 August 24, 2014 — Robert Sheaffer
Gene and Chris present a special episode featuring UFO/paranormal skeptic Robert Sheaffer. According to his Wikipedia bio, "Sheaffer writes for Skeptical Inquirer (for which he writes the regular "Psychic Vibrations" column), Fate Magazine, and Spaceflight. He was a founding member (with Philip J. Klass and James Oberg) of the UFO Subcommittee of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (formerly Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal), and is a fellow of that organization. He is a member of MENSA." In other words, he's a real smart dude, and he'll be asking the hard questions about the potential reality of UFOs.

August 17, 2014 August 17, 2014 — Micah Hanks with Goggs Mackay
In response to a recent article from New York magazine about the alleged sad state of the UFO field, cutting-edge theorist Micah Hanks joins Gene, Chris and forum moderator Goggs Mackay to suggest that the most productive research is actually going underground. He expresses the thought in a recent blog, Micah Hanks | News From the Edge. So is it time to give up on Ufology and let it die a well-deserved death, or find ways to make it relevant all over again?

August 03, 2014 August 3, 2014 — Stanton T. Friedman
If there was ever a person who could be declared the "dean" of UFO researchers, it might very well be Stanton T. Friedman, a long-time UFO investigator and a nuclear physicist. Friedman is one of the key researchers into the Roswell crash and other events over the years, and has posited a strong case that the phenomenon is the result of extraterrestrials visiting Earth. His recent books include "Flying Saucers and Science" (2008) and "Science Was Wrong," (2010) co-authored with Kathleen Marden.

July 27, 2014 July 27, 2014 — Stan Gordon
Gene and Chris present long-time paranormal researcher Stan Gordon. During this segment we'll be bringing you up to date on the December 9, 1965 Kecksburg, PA UFO crash. Was it possibly a test aircraft, and what about the weird hieroglyphic-style lettering on the alleged craft? Are there any new developments that will help advance research into this classic UFO case? You'll also hear about this year's Kecksburg UFO Festival, along with the extensive range of Bigfoot, UFO and other strange events that have occurred in Pennsylvania over the years.

July 20, 2014 Classic Episode: July 20, 2014 — UFO Researcher James Carrion
Gene and Chris present James Carrion, a former Director of MUFON and author of a unique book about what is called "The Greatest Deception in History." "The Rosetta Deception" is a fascinating piece of detective work explaining how "a master group of magicians" found ways to, among other things, unearth Soviet spies in the U.S. But it doesn't stop there. What about the early UFO cases, such as the Ghost Rockets, and were they real events, or the products of a carefully crafted program of deception and disinformation? And do such activities continue to the present day, and how do they impact research into UFOs?

Gene and Chris present an episode featuring the ever-prolific Nick Redfern, who will be discussing his latest book, "Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind: Suspicious Deaths, Mysterious Murders, and Bizarre Disappearances in UFO History." So was there really a plot to cut short the lifespans of people heavily involved in UFO research? What about the untimely deaths of Secretary of Defense James Forrestal or UFO researcher M.K. Jessup? Did they truly commit suicide or was there something sinister in their deaths, and those of others who may have had some connection to the UFO mystery?
