Episode Notes In this installment of the Zine Scene, we're going to look at all four issues of my favorite short-lived UFO mag, Alien Worlds , published out of the UK in 2008. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, I was able to complete my collection recently, so I thought I'd share my thoughts with you.

Episode Notes This is something a little different. About a month ago, Associate Producer Simpson J. Hanover III and I went on a little field trip to Hopkinsville and Kelly, Kentucky. Our mission? Basically to locate some of the places associated with the legendary goblin encounters described in our Kelly Goblinsville episode from last October. We didn't go out of our way to bother anyone, didn't pester the locals with our questions about goblins, UFOs, men in black, or anything else. Just two w...
Episode Notes Thanks to listener Martin K., we got our hands on a few issues of The Woodrew Update. This was the newsletter of Greta Woodrew's S.T.A.R. Foundation . In this mini episode, we look at a few goodies from the January/February 1986 edition. Highlights (that may be overselling it) include her classical music tastes, unattributed poetry, and a glimpse at what the S.T.A.R. Foundation was doing with its donations in 1986.

Episode Notes So a while back, I got an email from a listener asking what I thought my top ten important UFO books were. Not being one to waste a good idea, I decided that instead of telling them, I'd make it into an episode. I was going to put links to purchase the books here in the show notes, but it's kind of a spoiler, isn't it? So you're on your own! None of these are obscure and I played by the rules of "Important" books rather than "favorite" books, so some of these are not my favorites! ...
Episode Notes I've got some upcoming online presentations (which would have been in person if that was currently an option). While streaming events might not be everyone's cup of tea, they provide a great deal more access to those who can't make it to on-ground, in person events for any number of reasons. So in lieu of putting "commercials" in the next few episodes (most of which are already finished...), I thought I'd provide a little more detailed rundown of what I'll be discussing at these ev...

Episode Notes It's our first interview! We're talking with Matthew Kresal, who wrote a volume on the classic 90s show Dark Skies for Obverse Books's Silver Archive range on classic cult television. Whether you're familiar with the show or now, we hope you find the interview enjoyable! Also, keep in mind that I've never interviewed anyone before... It looks like Amazon has some used copies of the Dark Skies DVD set . You can purchase Matthew's book directly from the publisher in either traditiona...

Episode Notes A while back, we looked at Ceto's New Friends , a controversial children's book by abductee L.A. Haley. In this episode, we examine the books that came before and after, detailing her experiences with the phenomenon as well as its effect on her life and relationships. Along the way there's a significant presence of government chicanery, touches of mind control, and assorted strangeness. Lost was the Key is available used on Amazon .

Episode Notes Sometimes plans change, and a combination of factors have necessitated me pulling out this emergency backup episode. I hope you like it--and it's better than a rerun! We have snippets from Truman Bethurum, George Adamski, and Ivan Sanderson talking about the Flatwoods Monster. I talk a bit about the clips as well, which were chosen for their manageable length and listenable audio quality. These clips, and more like them, were collected by Wendy Connors and are available at the Inte...

Episode Notes Perhaps one of the most infamous UFO books of the 1990s, in this episode we examine whether or not Leah Haley's children's book Ceto's New Friends deserves its reputation or the vitriol with which it was met upon its release. We'll also touch on the wider issue of children and UFOs--particularly a decidedly odd seminar that apparently took place in 2000. The video where I look at the book is here !

Episode Notes We're back to Contactees in this episode where we look at Dana Howard, whose contacts were somewhat unique but whose message was very much in line with what we've seen before. I found her story fascinating and frustrating at the same time. You can get some of Dana's books at Amazon. Warning! My copy of Diane- She Came from Venus had quite a few pages in the wrong order--not sure if it was just my copy or a broader production problem. Diane- She Came from Venus Over the Threshold Up...

Episode Notes In this episode, we begin the first in a series of occasional looks at the crossover between flying saucers and American presidential politics with a couple of updated ideas about the Obama campaign's appeal to the exopolitics crowd. Yes, it's just about the closest thing to "up to date" that we do here on the show. These ideas appeared in a slightly different form in my books Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist and The Chaos Conundrum . Check them out, if you haven't! You...

Episode Notes So a few months back , we encountered an ad for a flying saucer trivia game called UFOria. This episode is the result. Roberta, Sasha, Nelson, and I had fun doing this one.

Episode Notes So. There's been a clamoring for an episode about Contactee Daniel Fry for a long time. This is it. In the episode I go into a bit of detail about why it's taken me so long to get around to him, but one of the main reasons is that there is so much available information that it's a bit daunting (see the link below to get an idea). Hope you enjoy it! Sources and Further Information The indispensable Daniel Fry Dot Com . This really is all you need. Support The Saucer Life and get som...
