The Spectral Voyager Episode 6: The Socorro Saucer

I love this show. It’s like an upgraded version of the classic “Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell” show, (when journeys into the paranormal sphere use to be fun, before George Noory, far right evangelicalism , and politics, ruined that subculture for everyone else). Jake and Brad tell great intriguing stories, and for at least a little while, take me out of this dumb reality and into something fun and carefree. Thank you a million times, for the great work and show.

Archaeology and paleontology: this is not that!

I really really like this new show. I listen to the heavier episodes of the normal podcast but its nice to have a chaser like these or the funnier regular/patreon episodes, nice to laugh a lot instead of worry at the mess of things. thank you for all the hard work and if able keep slinging a few less horrifying in every now and again, all the best to ya's.

Just adore you these. Happy to hear some UFO talk. I thought for sure I had seen some in my early twenties. I lived in the city most my life, so when I moved to the suburbs, I was jazzed about all the stars you could see at night. My ritual was to lay on the ground, put on some good tunes, and watch the stars and the satellites go by. One night, what I thought was a satellite ended up stopping, then another light joined, and another. There were five, and for some reason, for someone who had been terrified of ufos since she saw Fire in the Sky at age 11 “by accident,” I just zoned out, and watched, because it was just so odd. The way they moved was almost the way a pin on an etch a sketch moves, but they stayed within the same area of the sky. Finally one left, then another, until they were all gone. About an hour in total had gone by. Now in my late 30s, I told my beau this tale a few years back, saying I still had no idea what it was. He, a a sweet science nerd, didn’t hesitate and said, “It was probably just something entering the atmosphere, burning up and moving oddly until it burned out.” I was floored, because it made total sense and it had never crossed my mind. He pulled the rug from under me quite effortlessly. 😂

Absolutely love the music for this show.

Great show. I used to live in New Mexico. The sky at night was mesmerizing, especially when we lived in mountains. If one were to see something, it would be there.

I moved to New Mexico a couple years ago and it’s crazy how many people have UFO and/or alien stories. NM’s desert is absolutely gorgeous but there is something almost alternate dimensional about the state, especially as you head south on 25 outta Albuquerque.

Jake’s Dan Ackroyd impression is flawless.

I used to live in new mexico, and it seemed like more people than not had ufo stories about this area of nm specifically. I've never been a big alien believer, I'm more inclined to believe they exist in an alternate, parallel dimension outside of our human brain's perception of time rather than within this one. But there is one thing I saw that I always think about, when I was on a low-flying 6 seater plane going from Albuquerque to a town directly south at the bottom of the state. You could see the ground for most of the plane ride, and I saw a huge (like 3-4 football fields long) perfectly circular indentation in the desert ground where no roads were leading in or out of (or anywhere in the distance really) I took a photo and showed my friends, everyone always agreed it was really strange.

Ironically, I would be inclined not to believe the story were it not for the patently ridiculous alternative explanations offered up. That actually convinces me that actually goes a long way toward convincing me something unusual really did happen.

Brad Plumb

Twin brothers named Rex and Ray?!? As in Metal Gear Rex and Metal Gear Ray?!? Twins, like Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake? I think this confirms Hideo Kojima is actually Q. (P.S. I love the show and the theme song is an absolute banger)

I just wanted to say again how much I appreciate what Brad brings to the table here. As a documentarian he has so much respect for the people he researches and interviews, he is never parading them around like some circus sideshow as you see a lot with these kind of subjects. Instead he brings out the humanity in their stories and deeply appreciates the weirdness in this world. His empathy is what makes him stand out among his peers. We need more people like him in this dark and cold world.
