William Dudley Pelley

Episode Notes It's our long-awaited (by some) look at William Dudley Pelley--fascist mystic, convicted seditionist, and a figure long associated with the dawn of Contacteeism.

Listener Feedback and More- Bielek and Montauk

Episode Notes It's time for listener feedback, and some additional things!

Al, Preston, a Chair, and a Monster

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 als...

Listener Feedback- Now with Added Allende!

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.

The Strange Case of Carlos Allende

Episode Notes The man who wrote those letters; who annotated The Case for the UFO... Who was he? We try and figure out what people have decided and come up with some interesting stories about the man himself as well as of the ongoing development of the Philadelphia Experiment saga. Note- there's some dead air after the closing music: don't worry, I know it's there! From de173.com Allende's "Confession" Keel's Letter on the Philadelphia Experiment Allende&#...

Zine Scene: The ParaUFOlogist

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 Lecture...

The Story of Shoichi Harukawa

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?

MILABS: Part Two

Episode Notes NOTE: I misspoke in this episode and realized it as soon as I posted it! I am aware that the Tuskegee Experiments did not give people syphilis. My apologies. 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...

MILABS: Part One

Episode Notes MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abductions by Helmut and Marion Lammer is an exceptionally difficult and expensive book to find. Thankfully, loyal listener Mark P gifted me this copy on the condition that I do an episode about it. Well, he's going to get two, because in Part One here we didn't even get to the book itself.

George Adamski's Cosmic Philosophy

Episode Notes In this episode we're looking at the philosophical ideas of George Adamski, such as they are. Key to helping our understand was a George Adamski site from the Netherlands , which is full of valuable material and links. If you're an Adamski fan, it's well worth checking out for a sympathetic and supportive view of his work. Website Twitter Instagram Facebook This podcast is powered by Pinecast ....

Harold J Berney

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 . And if you like saucer swin...

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.

Episode Notes Is it an abduction tale? A contactee story? A little bit of both? Sure, why not!
