December 17, 2017Read This Book- Flying Saucer OccupantsIn this Encounter, we’re looking at an incredibly popular book from the late 1960s, Coral and Jim Lorenzen’s Flying Saucer Occupants. The stories told in this slim volume range from the weird and obscure to some that were groundshaking in their saucer significance, including the Antonio Vilas Boas case and the Betty and Barney Hill […]...more22minPlay
December 11, 2017Ashtar Watches Over UsIn this Encounter, we’ll take a look at the the entity known as Ashtar and the cast of extraterrestrial characters that he commands. From his emergence through the writings and teachings of George van Tassel, the development of the Ashtar “brand” to the concept’s evolution during the following decades, this is a fun jaunt through […]...more38minPlay
December 04, 2017A Good Old Fashioned Ether FrolicWelcome to series 3, in which we’ll focus on the broad themes of mind, body, and spirit. It’s “mind” this week with Meade Layne, Mark Probert, channeled messages about the Etherians, and a story of some early, somewhat different interpretations of the coming of the saucers. Guest starring the spirits of Lao Tzu and Thomas […]...more34minPlay
November 27, 2017And then the Feds Showed Up…It’s the Series 2 finale! We’re digging deeper into an entity we saw briefly in Encounter 204:the Detroit Flying Saucer Club. We’ll see one example of “government interest in flying saucers” and why it really was never about the saucers, in some cases. We also look at a useful illustration about the way one story can connect […]...more29minPlay
November 22, 2017Bonus Encounter 2: I Spoke with an Earth-Man!A quickie that got left on the cutting room floor from Encounter 203 and Encounter 204. It’s a Contactee story in reverse from the pages of Nexus and you’ll probably recognize at least one of the characters. And yes, Melvin Morbid sounds like Johnny from The Room. It was totally unconscious. Have a good Thanksgiving if you’re in […]...more10minPlay
November 20, 2017Airships over AmericaThis week it’s some Flying Saucer pre-history with the Mystery Airship Wave of 1897. There was a bit of this in the talk released here as Bonus Encounter 1, but we’ve got even more aerial weirdness this week. Thanks again to CUFOS for their vast archive of historical UFO goodness. You can find out more about […]...more35minPlay
November 13, 2017The Zine Scene, 1954 (Part Two)This week, we conclude our epic look at 1954 through four flying saucer zines and newsletters (The APRO Bulletin, Saucerian, Nexus, and Vimana).

November 06, 2017The Zine Scene, 1954 (Part One)This week we start our look at 1954 through the pages of four flying saucer newsletters and magazines. While this wasn’t the biggest year for sightings in the US, there was no lack of news or controversy. The Al Bender mystery (see Encounter 102), the growing popularity of contactees (see Encounters 105 and 106), and […]...more37minPlay
October 30, 2017The Saucer (Love) LifeRomance and flying saucers certainly aren’t an unheard-of pairing (check out Encounter 106 if you doubt me) but few interplanetary romances were as intense or interesting as that of South Africa’s Elizabeth Klarer in the 1950s (although she didn’t write her book Beyond the Light Barrier until much later. This week, we’ll be looking at Klarer’s story […]...more34minPlay
October 23, 2017Will the real OH KRILL Please Stand Up?Welcome to Series 2! In this encounter we travel to the heady days of the 1980s and look at a number of documents, events, and people who would have a lasting effect on the direction of saucer culture. Meet O.H.
