The Saucer Life

Are aliens demons? Are demons aliens? Does it matter? Is Hell a planet? Come along as we look at how some have answered these questions, mainly though the very fun Round Trip to Hell in a Flying Saucer, a 1955 Contactee pamphlet by Cecil Michael. Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer: UFO Parasites […]

We’re finishing up our look at The Mothman Prophecies with a glimpse of the weirdness that was Keel’s interaction with Mr. Apol (as it was spelled in the book). There’s so much more we could have talked about with this stuff. Be sure to check out the best source for all things John Keel, johnkeel.com.

We’re back! Sorry for the extended hiatus–non-serious-throat-affecting health issues intervened. Today, we’re beginning our look at The Mothman Prophecies in a way that, hopefully, doesn’t rehash our other two Mothman installments. Next time, We’ll be looking at the Mr. Apol encounters and examining a bit of what came afterward as far as Mothman lore goes.

We’re going to Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, and you won’t need a flying saucer. William Denton studied the use of “psychometry” allowed his colleagues (well, his son, wife, and sister) to travel to far off times and places. The 19th century was a spacier place than you might have thought! Read The Soul of Things, volume […]

In this Encounter we spend a little time with Woodrow Derenberger, Indrid Cold, and try to figure out how a Contactee book that belongs in 1957 managed to appear in 1971. Website: saucerlife.com Twitter: @saucerlife Instagram: saucerlife Facebook

We’re taking a deep-ish dive into Gray Barker’s account of the Point Pleasant events, 1970’s The Silver Bridge. Fact? Fiction? How much does it really matter? Reprint edition of The Silver Bridge on Amazon. Caveat Emptor: the print in this copy is not what you’d expect–like whoever repubbed it didn’t scan the original pages at a high […]

We’re beginning our look at the Mothman complex of events in the late 60s in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. To start off, we’re going to examine the story as it happened throughout 1966 and 1967, using newspaper reporting, personal correspondence, and other contemporaneous documents. This approach would not have been possible without the resources at […]

Sometimes, the stuff that gets left out of the episode actually got recorded and even edited. Here’s a selection of the most cogent deleted scenes. There’s a bit of information about real underground bases from Encounter 507, an announcement about Buck Nelson’s saucer convention from Encounter 601, and selection of material from our most recent episode, […]

A new thing–short (5 minutes or so) diversions when something cool comes up that has nothing to do with UFOs, but is still within the broad paranormal flavor of the show. Our pilot attempt: The King of the Wild Frontier Meets the King of the Forest. Bigfoot! Coonskin Caps! A Dire Prophecy!

We’re kicking off a series of stories about the intersections between flying saucers and…other stuff… a look at Bigfoot, Sasquatch, any variety of hairy creature. I can almost guarantee that you’ll hear Bigfoot stories, theories, and the like that you’ve not heard anywhere else. Some of the books and sites mentioned: The Eighth Tower by […]
