The Saucer Life

Episode Notes We're beginning our long-awaited examination of the Gulf Breeze sightings and the experiences of Ed and Frances Walters with a look at their earliest encounters with...whatever it was, and corroborating sightings from other people in the area. This has turned out to be a much more complicated story than I initially expected so this is going to be a multi-part extravaganza. Hooray!/Ugh! depending on your point of view...

Episode Notes Back in 2019, we did an episode on 1973, the Year of the Humanoids and now we're back with more really, really strange humanoid stories! And this time, the Saucer Wife joins us to provide some analysis. What we found is that the brief descriptions in the book sometimes raise more questions than they answer. We do, however, have a deep desire for someone to create some artwork of the Feathered Catfish Person... So join us for a light-hearted romp through some of the most fun stories we've ever encountered on the show. The form to share your thoughts for our 5th anniversary episode is here!

Episode Notes In lieu of a new episode this week, I thought I would share one of the bonus episodes that went our to our Cheeso Media Patrons back in March. On November 2, 2003, I had the singular experience of driving in the icy fog, overnight, listening to an amazing episode of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell: with John Lear and his Lear test. On this bonus episode, I go a little into my history with paranormal radio and Art Bell, and then we look at the Lear Test. What would I do in Art's place? What would the Saucer Wife (as a much more normal and level-headed person) do? Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon!

Episode Notes I am aware of the editing error in the long Gerald Light letter! It will be rectified as soon as I have a chance! In this episode, we're looking at a book from the Borderland Science Research Associates about Eisenhower's supposed visit with aliens at Edwards Air Force Base in 1954. We're also going to trace how that story evolved over the decades.

Episode Notes So this is it: the final end to our Philadelphia Experiment adventure. The Al Bielek/Montauk development of the story has always been daunting to me; I don't have the affection for the Al Bielek Coast To Coast episodes that a lot of people do. I have a hard time following the twists and turns of the story. I hope, in this episode, that in making it clear in my own mind, I've made it clear for you as well! Send in your comments and questions! I'll get to them next week, and I'll also be talking a little about a few books that either arrived too late or were a little too tangential to include in the main episodes. The defunct-but-archived Bielek Debunked website has a good account of tracking down the facts behind the Cameron family here. Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon!

Episode Notes Some great listener comments and questions on our recent Carlos Allende episode. There are some bonuses in this one, folks--we've got some poetry from listener Zachary which I quite liked, and to finish the whole thing up, a tip from listener Brian led me to a 1967 conversation between Gray Barker and Carlos Allende which I found pretty cool.

Episode Notes In this installment of the Zine Scene, we're taking a look at one of the many, many publications produced by Allen H. Greenfield over the years. The one chosen, The ParaUFOlogist, gives us some interesting insight into the state of the UFO field in that weird period during the early 1970s where Blue Book had closed down and things seemed at a low ebb. The Archives for the Unexplained has four issues of The ParaUFOlogist, and Issue 3 contains the very good story "The Saucer Lecturer." Like the show and want more? Subscribe to our Patreon!

Episode Notes We return to the pages of the Japanese "UFO Contactee" newsletter to begin an occasional look at the contact story of Shoichi Harukawa. If I had to sum up his story in one word, I think it would be "charming." It's sweet and innocent and a little weird but in a good way. We also have some fun questions and answers from George Adamski and, overall, it's a nice, light respite from the mind control terrors of the last few weeks! Like the show and want more?

It's the second part of our examination of Helmut and Marion Lammer's book MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction. We've got lots of great stuff here, including creepy reptoids, strange hypnotherapist websites, attacks on Lammer and counterattacks, and some information on whether or not Lammer still agrees with his earlier theories.

Episode Notes MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abductions by Helmut and Marion Lammer is an exceptionally difficult and expensive book to find.

Episode Notes In this episode we're looking at the philosophical ideas of George Adamski, such as they are.

Episode Notes Harold J. Berney, a long-time swindler, decided to use flying saucers to push a scam back in the 1950s. It's a fabulous story that got a lot of press at the time, but has seemingly dwindled into semi-obscurity (although Nick Redfern's written about it a bit). We cover the basics in a fairly fun way here, but for an ultra-deep dive into Berney's long criminal life, I recommend checking out the definitive piece on him over at The Saucers that Time Forgot.

Episode Notes In this episode, we conclude our examination of Frank Johnson's book The Janos People: A Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind. If you haven't listened to Part 1, I suggest you do so before diving into this one. I provide a bit of a recap, but not much! Also, the Q and A episode on Part 1, featuring the Saucer Wife was quite good and--if you're particularly daring--Simpson J. Hanover III developed a recipe for Space Kebabs that's quite tasty.
