The 1970s were wild! These days you either get gray aliens, a lizard creature, or maybe a tall nordic type. But back then there were little guys with jetpacks, disembodied pants, 11-foot tall sheets with buttons on their faces, and all kinds of wild stuff. On this week's episode, we're taking a look at some 1970s humanoid encounters as documented in Flying Saucer Review. Make sure to subscribe to our new podcast, Finding Quantum Quest. The first episode launches next week!
