The Saucer Life

This is what happened next. Did the world end? Even a little? Follow the trail of Dorothy Martin, Charles Laughead, and the prophecy’s impact on the flying saucer community in this week’s installment of The Saucer Life. The picture above is of a very elderly Dorothy Martin, also known as Sister Thedra. Website: saucerlife.com Twitter: @saucerlife […]

In this episode, we begin the story of Dorothy Martin and her prophecies of cataclysms that would strike the world. She received these via channeled messages from the planet Clarion (Aura Rhanes was not involved!). It’s a sprawling story, so hang on!

We’re starting our fourth batch of episodes and, to get you the best quality (ha!) possible, we’re going to be bi-weekly for the foreseeable future. This time around, we’re examining stories in which the saucer life touches real life, mundane life in some way. First up, Donald Keyhoe’s appearance on Armstrong’s Circle Theater. Is it […]

While we’re taking a week off trying to get ahead on production of series 4, here’s something to tide you over. This is George Adamski speaking at the 1955 flying saucer gathering at Giant Rock. George Van Tassel arranged these for many years and nearly everybody who was anybody in the saucer scene appeared here […]

This week, we look at George Hunt Williamson, one of the classic 1950s Contactees whose work stretched into a number of different facets of the Saucer world, and beyond. There’s more to Williamson’s story, but we’ll be seeing that in a few weeks in Encounter 402: The End of the World. We return on February […]

In early 1953, the CIA convened a panel of scientists to investigate whether or not flying saucers were a threat. We’re going to look at what happened next. The most complete version of the report is here if you want to check it out. I got everything else from the CIA’s electronic reading room, which […]

Normal service has resumed here at Saucer Life Central, and today we’re looking at one of the most effective takedowns of George Adamski’s initial contactee claims (see Encounter 105 for some background on this, if you feel like you want it), the reaction from Adamski and, finally, we’ll take a quick look at Adamski’s continuing […]

Happy New Year! This is the story of the time sometime-guest voice Nelson Sanat and I investigated a crop circle and the havoc it caused. (This is a substantially new telling of the tale, so if you’ve read The Chaos Conundrum, know that it’s a different thing!) The crop circle in question was, actually, investigated […]

‘Twas the Week Before Christmas, and all through the house some guy was recording a podcast episode. So: my Christmas gift to you all; here’s some flying saucer poetry for you. More accurately, here’s some poetry which appeared in flying saucer magazines. “Ode to a Spaceman” and “Reflection” originally appeared in Encounter 204. Poetry featured […]

Just a very quick take on the recent news from the New York Times about Pentagon study of UFOs, the connections to private money, and the long history of acknowledged and un-acknowledged interest in and study of the saucers. Note: this is a little unpolished, but I wanted to be timely! Some of the best […]
