Episode Notes It’s time for the first part of our our annual(ish) road trip adventure. As usual, these are fairly light and breezy, perfect for a bright spring day. Or something. This year, I went down to Missouri on the trail of Buck Nelson , the Piedmont UFO sightings, the mysterious happenings in the “Marley Woods” area, and the alleged Cape Girardeau UFO crash. In this first part, I'll be covering my search for some of the more elusive aspects of Buck Nelson's story! Subscribe to our Patreon...

Episode Notes The Zine Scene returns with another very early issue of (California) UFO Magazine! Like the first issue, this one shows off the diversity of the UFO scene, from articles and opinions that range from the nuts and bolts to the more etherial side of the UFO spectrum. There are some interesting ads, fun contactee stories, letters to the editor, and all sorts of other amusements, along with a couple of rabbit holes for us to go down.

Episode Notes In this episode, we’re going to look at “Flying Saucers and the Father’s Plan” by Laura Munro. This is an interesting book; it’s part Contactee tale and part commentary on other Contactees (which was more rare than one might expect). It was published by Gray Barker’s Saucerian Press and, thanks to Barker’s record keeping, we have some interesting insights into the book’s development as well. We previous covered Laura Munro in our episode on FBI investigations into flying saucer clu...

Episode Notes In this installment of the Zine Scene, we’re looking at the very first issue of UFO Magazine, from 1986, and a number of other very early editions from 1987. For those of us who came to the magazine much later (the late 90s, in my case), these early issues are a bit different than what we might expect. You can purchase these issues for download as PDFs at a very reasonable price at the UFO Magazine website Here’s hoping they release more! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes...

Episode Notes The Rockefeller family was a frequent target of conspiracy theory in the United States. One of their detractors was Peter Beter, a conspiracy theorist whose frequently outlandish conspiracy theories also targeted the Federal Reserve system and the Soviet Union. He spread his message through recorded messages distributed on cassette tape to subscribers, released monthly from 1975 to 1982. Beter claimed that the Soviets had planted short range nuclear missiles just off the coast of t...

Episode Notes So today, we're going to look at a contactee who was active from the 60s all the way up into the 21st-century, which may be a first. At least in my experience. His name is Robert Renaud and he had some very interesting experiences and a very distinct, entertaining way of writing. There's so much material that we cannot hope to cover it all, even over multiple episodes, so be sure to check out t he online repository of his contactee writings, here! Like the show and want more?

Episode Notes Today, we're going to take a look at a Contactee named Eugene Drake. Never heard of him? Neither had I. What's his claim to fame? Um.... He might have been the source for the original Contactee-style account, years before George Adamski or Truman Bethurum did their thing. It's a strange story. Much thanks to The Saucers that Time Forgot for their work on this story, as well as Håkan Blomqvist for his write up as well. They were very valuable resources! Like the show and want more? ...

Episode Notes It's a straight-forward, good old fashioned UFO sighting story! No mind control! No underground bases! No weirdness! It's just a story of solid witnesses, strange things in the sky, and military bureaucracy. Which, in a way, makes it the quintessential UFO tale. Like the show and want more?

Episode Notes This has been one of the most request Saucer Life topics--seriously--and it's wild. I only ever knew the basics of this story and while it's not the deepest rabbit hole we've ever been on there are definitely some twists and turns. Enough that it's gonna be a two parter. Doing this episode would have been difficult without online resources such as Jack Brewer's post on the subject at The UFO Trail , which includes a link to some great documentation gathered by James Carrion.

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 storie...
