Through the annals of UFO lore and literature, there are tales of short humanoid beings with long ears, beings that seem to be ripped straight from the pages of fairy lore, beings that resemble bridge trolls and fauns.

Here is the early release for the week of 2/21
In 1994 it was not uncommon to see experiencers featured on shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show or Geraldo Rivera. The public attention that the Roswell Crash, Whitley Strieber, Budd Hopkins, and John Mack received pushed the UFO into the mainstream like it had never been before.
In Australia, a country who's UFO beliefs were very conservative, a story started to spread about a woman who had been involved in a multiple...

Hello Patrons, we've got an early release here!
Often when UFO cases are written about in journals and reviews, particularly when they're from other countries, there is a lack of nuance and cultural background. They are experienced in a vacuum.

Hello Patrons! Here is the early release for the next episode!
Through the annals of alien and UFO lore lives a population of beings so vast and different that it confuses the mind and the senses. The vast differences from sighting to sighting leave so much room for speculation, especially as it relates to the origins of these beings.
But what happens when the beings among us try to disguise themselves as humans. On this episode, 2022-01-20 19:58:46 +0000 UTC View Post

When one of his crew members called out sick, Everett "Carl" Higdon, a resident of Rawlins, Wyoming, borrowed the company truck, and set out for McCarty canyon to hunt elk with his new 7MM Magnum rifle. Along the way, he ran into two guys who were having trouble with their truck. As a nod of appreciation for helping them out, they directed Carl to a remote are of Medicine Bow National Forest.

Hello Patrons! Here is the early release for next week's episode
For decades, UFO reports from inside the Soviet Union were leaked to various UFO researchers and writers. Flying Saucer Review often printed UFO accounts from behind the Iron Curtain, which was risky, because it was forbidden to write about UFOs in the Soviet Union.
And then, in 1989, UFO secrecy seemed to drop overnight. News of a now infamous landing in Yuzhny Park (South Park) from the industrial city of ...

In the second case, a young couple moves into a small cabin on the outskirts of Woodstock only to experience an incredible spate of poltergeist p...

Back for another round! I'm joined by Brent Hand (Hysteria 51) to discuss the repeater problem. Throughout most of the modern age of UFO lore, those who had repeat UFO encounters were looked at as less credible. Brent and Rob dive into the topic, and some of the cases that seem almost too weird to be believable.

George Wheeler never expected to see two, let alone one, but his second sighting was different. From the top of Tuttle Hill in Elmwood, Wisconsin, a bright, glowing object hovered 100 feet in the air. George knew what to do this time, and he picked up the radio, and described everything he could to dispatch. And then, the radio went dead...

Hey folks! Here is the corrected version!
Dionisio Llanca awoke in a strange place in the early morning hours of October 28, 1973. He was inside a corral that stored a bunch of different carts with no memory of who he was, where he was, or even where he lived. He wandered out onto a road before he blacked out and woke up in the hospital a few days later.
What happened in the moments before Dionisio attempted to change his tire and after are subjective at best. Under hypnosis a sto...

Do you miss Car Talk and when people talk... about cars. Well, this isn't that show, but strangely, we talk a little bit ABOUT WEIRD CARS. Brian Hastie joins me to discuss a very strange alien report from Wisconsin. We also chat about the current state of UFO research, the cases we've come to champion, and how to handle THE GONDOLA MAN!

The earliest abduction cases, like those of Betty and Barney Hill and Antônio Villas Boas, were strange and new. Cases in which people were kidnapped by alien beings were rare. So rare, in fact, that they had never appeared in print before. But when they did cases started to emerge, slowly, into the ufological psyche.
One of the earliest cases involves the abduction of a Brazilian soldier, José Antônio da Silva, who was kidnapped by short hairy humanoids, taken to a strange roo...

Hey y'all, here is the early release of Monday's episode!
The ufological landscape of 1989 was very rigid. Long since gone were the humanoids of old, replaced with the greys: short humanoid beings with grey skin, big heads, and terrifying eyes that resembled black inky pools. Cattle mutilations were happening in record number, and by 1980 they had been linked to the UFO, and secret government tests. 1989 was the year that Bill Moore shocked the world at the annual MUFON conference in La...

It wasn't long after Kenneth Arnold's infamous sighting, in June of 1947, that the humanoids appeared. First in Brazil and then in Italy. Early humanoid cases were few and far between, and and when they did appear, they were devoid of detail or the beings that piloted their UFOs were very strange. Some were 7...

On this installment, I present you with a few additional cases from Africa, including a pair of sightings from Legionnaires from Algeria and Madagascar, as well as the mysterious disappearance of Bennie Smit's dog, following the June 26, 1972 encounter on Braeside Farm and a very strange ...

Aside from a few stray cases, such as that of Elizabeth Klarer, and the roadside encounter of a disc shaped object by two constables in Pretoria, the UFO was an unfamiliar sight in South Africa. That all changed in 1972 when "Bennie" Smit opened fire on a strange egg shaped object skulking around his farm. The shots heard 'round Braeside farm led to a wave of UFO activity that caught the attention of those that lived in The Republic of South Africa.
