API Case Files

Released: 30 July 2023 Duration: 54 Minutes 21 Seconds This is our first anonymous API Conversation, although we are using his real first name of our Witness. A former Air Force F111 technician tells us his story about a UFO encounter captured on RADAR at Cannon Air Force base in New Mexico in the mid 1970s, and what followed after that. If you served with Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the mid 1970s, or if you were in Clovis, NM at that time, we'd like to hear your side of the story. Music by the Mini Vandals and Carl Goddeu.

Recorded: May 5, 2022 Duration: 1 hour 47 minutes Marsha Barnhart talks to Dr. Joan Bird, author of the book Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Extraordinary Stories of Documented Sightings and Encounters. Dr. Bird is a Zoologist who specialized in animal behavior. She moved to Montana in 1973 to pursue graduate studies in zoology at the University of Montana, and in 1983 she completed her Ph.D. on inter-island variation in West Indian finches. Dr. Bird worked as a conservation biologist for the Montana Environmental Information Center, The Nature Conservancy, and Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. She has also worked as a fire lookout in both Washington and Montana. Joan freelanced as a nature interpretation writer and has written numerous articles for scientific and conservation publications. Actively involved in women's empowerment, she was a columnist for Crone Magazine. A lifelong student of unexplained phenomena and long-time member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, she has worked as a community educator and change agent.  When Joan was a teenager, her mother had a near death experience. This engendered a lifelong interest in exploring paranormal and esoteric subjects. And, although steeped in scientific materialism from her academic training, Dr. Bird eventually began to study and attempt to understand the inexplicable. In this episode of API Conversations, Marsha and Dr. Bird discuss the contents of her book, Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials, and delve into a host of related philosophies, concepts and theories regarding UFO's, the ET Hypothesis, the Nature of Reality, the possibility of Past Lives and the value of Consciousness Studies.    Links Dr. Joan R Bird, Montana UFOs and Extraterrestrials: https://www.amazon.com/Montana-UFOs-Extraterrestrials-Extraordinary-Documented/dp/1606390570 https://www.humanitiesmontana.org/programs/ufos-and-extraterrestrials-in-montana-with-joan-bird/ The Nick Mariana UFO Incident: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nick_Mariana_UFO_Footage_1950_Great_Falls_Montana.webm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_UFO_incident The Malmstrom AFB UFO Incident https://www.cufon.org/cufon/malmstrom/malm1.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgziDyPSUog http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/ufos/malmstromufo.pdf ET 101 The Cosmic Instruction Manual: https://www.amazon.com/T-101-Instruction- There is a River, the Story of Edgar Cayce: https://www.amazon.com/Story-Edgar-Cayce-There- Passport to the Cosmos: https://www.amazon.com/Passport-Cosmos-Human-Transformation-Encounters/dp/0609805576 The More Beautiful World: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Hearts-Possible-Sacred-Activism/dp/1583947248 Credits Producer and host: Marsha Barnhart Music credits: D.J.

Released: 26 July 2021 Duration: 42 minutes, 41 seconds This episode of API Case Files covers three recent cases. Paul reports on a daylight sighting from the Isle of Man (Case 21-023) detailing how two men pursued three orbs until the lights disappeared. This encounter took place May 27th, 2021 and is especially provocative because a day before some else on the Island of Man saw and reported a single orb just like what our Witness saw. Two days before the Isle of Man sighting, a Witness in Brooklyn, NY shot footage of three self-illuminated orbs in a triangle configuration cruising up the East River towards Manhattan. Marsha interviewed the Witness in that case. Marsha also details a case from central Ohio of a mother and son who had a close encounter that so startled their senses they became sick to their stomachs for several hours afterwards.  Witness Sketches in case 20-018 (Ohio) Links: Video in Case 21-023 (Isle of Man): https://youtu.be/nm8m_UuAyOk Witness submitted video in Case 21-026 (Brooklyn): https://youtu.be/RBdRMDU9z_A Report of Investigation for Case 21-018 (Ohio): https://aerial-phenomenon.org/redacted-report-of-investigation-for-case-21-018-ohio/ Our Investigations page: https://aerial-phenomenon.org/api-investigations/ Report your UFO sighting: https://reportaufo.org Our Witness FAQ: https://aerial-phenomenon.org/witness-faq/ Our Ethics policy: https://aerial-phenomenon.org/about-api/api-ethics-statement/ Credits: Producer and host: Marsha Barnhart Post production: Paul Carr Music credits (order of appearance):  Alien Chronicler/Box Cat Games Pinckney Z-Arc Alien Chronicler I am Free DJ Spooky  

Released: 7 June 2021 Duration: 59 minutes, 30 seconds   Central Casting Saucer Spotted Outside Louisville; a Colorado Campout Overhead Light Show; and a Terrifying Idaho Orb Encounter Several really good cases to cover in this episode! A mother and daughter saw a right-out-of-central-casting flying saucer maneuvering over them in the early evening of December 11, 2020. They were in a large urban area just outside Louisville. And we hear from a Colorado camper who got more than he bargained for under the stars the night of May 13, 2021: a mass of seemingly connected white lights cavorting in the sky for several hours as he and a companion took in the spectacle. A Witness in Caldwell, Idaho on May 17, 2021 recorded an orb flying along that seemingly changed directions to fly towards him. It stopped momentarily over his house as he took cover under an awning in fear of what it might do next!  Also in this podcast, Paul Carr presents another in his series of Unidentified Science episodes. He covers the issues surrounding fallible human recall. We also introduce you to our newest API Investigator, Roger Draper. He hails from the San Francisco area and, with a background in law enforcement, investigation, and his DOD experience, he's a real bonus addition to the team!  Links: Case 20-045 Middletown, KY Witness Drawing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NQJZtgsw1huwyygaDTnIlMEB8x-oNg2c/view?usp=sharing Case 21-021 Pueblo, CO Link to Witness Drawing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vS8e78BbTtoUGbmriL2k09e09TkVIT_D/view?usp=sharing Link to 21-021 Witness Footage: https://youtu.be/NokywRtMy0E   Case 21-019 Caldwell, ID Link to Footage on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/nf2udx/i_just_saw_this_tonight_i_hope_theres_an/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf   API Website http://aerial-phenomenon.org/ Make a UFO Report: https://reportaufo.org API Investigations: http://aerial-phenomenon.org/api-investigations/   Credits: Producer: Marsha Barnhart  Post production: Paul Carr   Music: Alien Chronicler: “TractorBeamed” and “Pretend It's Just a Dream”  https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Alien%20Chronicler Rhennessey: “Feelings” https://soundcloud.com/rrhennessey RainSleep: “Translucent Heart” https://freemusicarchive.org/curator/Creative_Commons BoxCat Games: https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Box%20Cat%20Games Alien Chronicler: https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Alien%20Chronicler D J Spooky: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/DJ_Spooky/none_given_1098/14_-_DJ_Spooky_-_Check_Your_Math   This podcast is released under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-alike license.

Released: 11 November 2020 Duration: 60 minutes Lots of cases to discuss! The API team is joined by two new members, Molly and Dan. Paul goes into detail on a dazzling Ohio sighting with terrific night vision camera footage, and talks about a recently reported 2014 close encounter experienced by a woman in San Francisco. Marsha presents cases in TN and GA that COULD be drones, but may be true unknowns. She also highlights the issue of hyper-sensitivity to UFO sightings by some Witnesses. Paul and Marsha discuss a case in Estonia, new Investigator Molly talks about her first case, and the team ruminates on a brief blue flash seen in the sky near Tokyo bay.

Recorded: 24 November 2018 Released: 3 December 2018 Duration: 70 minutes, 1 second While researching his book, the Justin reached out to Marsha in an attempt to get detailed information on API case 12-001. The Witness in this case was the night manager at a hotel on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. On October 14, 2008, both he and the hotel night time security manager were outside talking when they saw a large Triangular UFO rise up from the Horseshoe Falls and silently glide over them. The most unusual aspect of the case occurred in the early afternoon of May 10th 2009 when two men dressed in black came to the hotel looking for the Manager. Hotel Lobby Security cameras captured a short video snippet of these two men. This footage, made available during the original investigation, is perhaps the ONLY known case of genuine MIB captured on video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xwUUlQMkOE Justin has written the most complete accounting of this case covering not only the original UFO sighting and the accounts supplied by the hotel employees who interacted with the men in black, but also in-depth information gathered directly from the Witness detailing a long series of unusual paranormal and anomalous experiences. And this fascinating story is but one in a book filled with unusual and provocative true, first-hand accounts of weirdness. During this podcast, Marsha and the author discuss his book, The Spectrum, and examine a wide range of topics encompassing UFO’s, anomalies, and paranormal experiences. Justin works in Marketing and Design and lives in the Philadelphia area. He writes a blog and maintains a website, Normal Paranormal.

Released: 24 March 2018 Duration: 62 minutes   Marsha Barnhart talks to Cheryl Costa, co-author of UFO Sightings Desk Reference. This is a one-of-a-kind reference book covering 15 years of UFO sightings within the United States. The information was gleaned from more than 120,000 raw reports made by citizens to either the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) or the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) between the years 2001 to 2015. The information is a statistical bonanza annotating the frequency, distribution and shapes of reported UFO’s, with accompanying graphs charts and charts, and broken down into states and state counties for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.   But this body of work, as amazing as it is, showcases just a portion of Cheryl’s talents: she is a published playwright, a film maker, a blogger with an international following, a talk radio host, an ordained Buddhist Nun, a Disclosure Activist and a devotee of Mind and Consciousness study. Cheryl is a native New Yorker. She is a US Military Veteran. Anyone who reads her blog, New York Skies, can easily reach her at her published email account. Part one of this interview with Cheryl Costa was recorded on February 28th, 2018.   Bio Info/Book Reviews: 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/24/science/ufo-sightings-book.html 2. http://ufocongress.com/cheryl-costa/ 3. http://www.destinationamerica.com/thehauntist/qa-with-ufo-research-expert-cheryl-costa/   New York Skies Blog Site   Music: DJ Spooky/Check Your math Scott Holmes/ Colossal Stillness API Website: http://aerial-phenomenon.org/   API Case Files/API Conversations: http://www.apicasefiles.com/ http://apicasefiles.libsyn.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/api-case-files/id783673990?mt=2

Recorded: 12 June 2017 Released: 27 July 2017 Duration:   Marsha Barnhart talks to Dr. Mark Rodeghier, President and Scientific Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies. The Center was founded originally by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was a professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University, and later, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University near Chicago, where the Center for UFO Studies is based. It is a privately funded UFO research group.   Dr. Rodeghier—who holds a BS in astrophysics from Indiana University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Illinois at Chicago—has headed the Center since 1986. He was a colleague of Dr. Hynek's and shares the same passion for approaching the UFO/UAP phenomenon from a scientific point-of-view. His work at the Center for UFO Studies dovetails perfectly into his position as science director with the UFODATA Project, which is the subject of this episode.     Bio Info: 1. http://www.cufos.org/mark_rodeghier.html   Center for UFO Studies 1. http://www.cufos.org/org.html 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_UFO_Studies   UFO DATA Project/Team, 1. http://www.ufodata.net/team.html 2. http://earthsky.org/space/scientists-ufodata-monitor-skies-ufos 3.http://www.openminds.tv/mark-rodeghier-scientific-ufo-data-collection-october-27-2015/35429   Music DJ Spooky/Check Your math: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/DJ_Spooky/none_given_1098/14_-_DJ_Spooky_-_Check_Your_Math Alien Chronicler/Time Surfer: https://soundcloud.com/totality_music William Tyler/Cadillac Desert: https://soundcloud.com/mergerecords/william-tyler-cadillac-desert

Recorded: 19 January 2017 Released: 1 February 2017 Duration: 76 minutes, 14 seconds Norio Hayakawa Welcome to API Conversations. I'm Marsha Barnhart API's Chief of Investigations and your host for this Conversations episode. My guest today for this edition of API Conversations is Norio Hayakawa. Norio is a resident of New Mexico and probably best known for his work investigating the anomalous activities in and around the Dulce New Mexico area. He is a blogger, an activist and, as such, the driving force behind a citizen oversight committee...the Civilian Intelligence Central. Norio for a very long time has been looking into the strange world of what we colloquially term "UFO's" . His research and examinations in this area has taken him on quite a journey. In the beginning his belief centered on the ET Hypothosis. Now, after many years immersed in this field, he has come to see the phenomenon in a much more nebulous light. Our conversation was wide-ranging and he took great pains to maintain a skeptical approach but still face head-on the scope of what he feels is more akin to the philosophy embodied in John Keel and Dr. Jacques Valee's work. Keep an open mind as you listen to the thoughts and reasoning set forth by Norio Hayakawa. I think you'll find our Conversation quite engaging. By the way, our show notes include links to Norio's blog, and selected guest appearances on several recent nationally syndicated radio shows. Here now is my interview with Norio Hayakawa conducted on January 19th, 2017... (interview) OUTRO: That was Norio Hayakawa, blogger, researcher and activist. You can find out more about Norio in our shownotes links at apicasefiles.com. I'm Marsha Barnhart, your host for this Episode 4 of API Conversations, which is a spin-off off of API Case Files.

Recorded: 19 October 2015 Released: 24 October 2015 Duration:66 minutes, 14 seconds   Paul Carr in conversation with host and producer of Podcast UFO, Martin Willis.   About our Guest, Martin Willis: The subject of UFOs has fascinated Martin since his youth, yet he was on the fence about the subject. He experienced a sighting in 2006 in Carmel Valley, CA, that solidified his beliefs that UFOs really do exist. Since this time, Martin has paid attention to what others have to say about the phenomenon with an open mind. Pondering what UFOs may be, or if they are possibly extraterrestrial helped spark his interest to another level. In the last number of years, Martin has become interested in astronomy and always maintained a strong scientific fascination of our vast universe. Martin feels certain that we are not alone and thinks it is possible that some small part of our government knows that and keeps it from us. As an armchair UFOlogist, Martin created Podcast UFO in November, 2011. Martin’s mission is to provide a place where anyone could interact and be heard who had a UFO experience or insight on the subject. Martin is an artist as well as a longtime antique & fine art appraiser.
