Greg Eghigian | After the Flying Saucers Came
<p>On episode 361 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we welcome author and historian, Greg Eghigian. Greg is a Professor of History and Bioethics at Penn State University. We discuss his recently-released book, After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon. The book tells the story of the world's fascination with UFOs and the prospect that they were the work of visitors from outer space. While accounts of great wonders in the sky date back to antiquity, reports of UFOs took place against the unique backdrop of the Cold War and space age, giving rise to disputed government inquiries, breathtaking news stories, and single-minded sleuths. The book traces how a seemingly isolated incident sparked an international drama involving shady figures, questionable evidence, suspicions of conspiracy, hoaxes, new religions, scandals, unsettling alien encounters, debunkers, celebrities, and so much more.</p><br><p>Buy Greg's book at: <a href="https://a.co/d/0b2M0J87" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://a.co/d/0b2M0J87</a></p><br><p>Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/somewhereskies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/somewhereskies</a></p><p>PayPal: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.somewhereintheskies.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.somewhereintheskies.com</a></p><p>Store: <a href="http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12U" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12U</a></p><p>YouTube Channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYH8m4zyehr0rN3feBZ4mCA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></p><p>Order Ryan’s new book: <a href="https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4</a></p><p>Order Ryan’s older book: <a href="https://amzn.to/3PmydYC" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3PmydYC</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SomewhereSkies</a></p><p>Read Ryan’s Articles by <a href="https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CLICKING HERE</a></p><p>Opening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per Kiilstofte</p><p>Copyright © 2024.
