  • A Second Chance at Goodbye with Roz Mugford
    What if death isn’t the end? And what if love finds a way to reach us anyway? In this deeply personal episode of Contact, producer and co-host Roslyn Mugford shares her own story. After the passing of her stepdad Jack in January 2024, Roz experienced something she still struggles to fully explain — a vivid dream filled with overwhelming love and what felt like an unspoken apology. Hours later, she learned he had died during the night. What followed were moments that felt less like coincidence and more like connection: signs, synchronicities, and eventually, birds landing gently in her hand […]

  • Michael Ian Black on UFOs, Consciousness, and Peter Thiel
    What happens to the human story if we get conclusive proof we’re not alone? This week, we’re joined by comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster Michael Ian Black (Wet Hot American Summer, Have I Got News For Your Ears) for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about UFOs/UAP, consciousness, and the strange edges of reality. Michael shares a high school “orb/fireball” sighting that still haunts him.. made even stranger by the fact that the other witnesses don’t remember it. From there, we go big: why the “nuts and bolts” don’t interest him as much as what the phenomenon means for humanity, how testimony (especially near-death experiences) shifted his worldview, and why the most […]

  • UAP Update: Nazca Mummies Debunked, FLIR Orbs, Pluribus Breakdown
    Season Two starts exactly how we like it: coming out swinging. Dan and Roz are back to break down the latest in UAP culture and credibility, starting with a military FLIR clip of “orbs” that might be something extraordinary… or might be birds (yes, we’re devastated too). Then we dive into the Nazca mummies saga, where the internet’s favorite “alien bodies” run headfirst into niche expertise: skeletal radiologists and bioanthropologists pointing out bone grafts, amputations, mismatched growth plates, and why “unknown DNA” doesn’t necessarily mean “alien”. From there, we take a sharp left into Pluribus (Vince Gilligan’s unsettling hive-mind thought experiment): a virus delivered through a decoded signal, a […]

Today’s highlights include: ⏳ Richard Hatem (screenwriter, The Mothman Prophecies) on “time stuff,” precognition, and why questions about time can feel more unsettling than monsters. ️ Maya Cowan (cultural anthropologist) on Indigenous perspectives, UAP in history, and why space exploration can mirror settler colonialism—plus the ethical responsibility that comes with “the final frontier.” Dr. Michelle […]

  • Stanton Friedman: Cosmic Watergate
    Join us as we delve into the enigmatic world of UFOs with the legendary Stanton Friedman, in a never-before-seen interview recorded by Roz in 2016, before Friedman’s passing.

  • Geraldine Sutton-Stith : Night of the Goblins
    In August 1955, a quiet farmhouse in Kelly, Kentucky became the center of one of the strangest UFO encounters in history: the Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins case. Eleven witnesses claimed their home was surrounded all night by small, glowing, goblin-like beings that floated above the ground and seemed immune to shotgun blasts. In this episode, Dan Zetterström talks with Geraldine Sutton-Stith, daughter of lead witness Elmer “Lucky” Sutton, about what really happened that night. Geraldine walks us through the full Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter: the UFO seen dropping into a nearby gully, the “little men” at the windows, the gunfire, the glowing substance found on […]

  • CONTACT: It Follows | David Pearce
    This week on Contact, we follow the astonishing life of David Pearce, a man whose experiences with the unknown began in childhood and have shadowed him for decades. What starts as a simple night of stargazing in South Wales becomes the first chapter in a lifelong pattern of encounters—structured craft rotating silently in the sky, UFOs chased by RAF jets, and a recurring dream so vivid and terrifying it feels more like a memory than a nightmare. As David grows up, the phenomena grow with him. Strange lights glide through the valley. A house alive with inexplicable activity turns threatening. And then, […]
