Edge of Reality with Lee Speigel

It's been nearly five years since The NY Times revealed the Pentagon's secret behind-the-scenes investigation of UFOs. That story also told the public about numerous aerial close encounters between UFOs and U.S. Navy jet fighter pilots. And the public was shown videos of real UFOs in flight. The Times article even mentioned possible UFO materials that were being researched. We're at the point now, historically, where the powers-that-be finally admit unexplained UFOs are real, how it's important we learn where they come from, who makes them, and why they're here. On this week's “Edge of Reality Radio,” I welcome back astrophysicist, astronomer and computer scientist Jacques Vallee, who's always at the center of UFO research. In addition to what I've already mentioned, Jacques and I will discuss UFO sightings that go all the way back to biblical times, as well as very intriguing things that have been photographed by NASA's three rovers on Mars. Join us Thursday at 8pm, Eastern / 5pm, Pacific on kgradb.com.

It can be heard in the howling wind. Or the aroma in a store where pounds of sugary delights are purchased and given to neighborhood youngsters on the one night of the year when it's really OK to roam the streets, asking for candy. Halloween is just around the corner. And so are alleged ghosts, spirits and haunted houses. Are they only the subjects of horror and comedy-filled books, movies and TV shows? Or, after centuries of wondering, do they provide any legitimate clues to possible life after death? It doesn't matter if you believe in ghosts or not – they are, literally, everywhere, and their otherworldly presence seems more at home as All Hallows' Eve inches its way to October 31st. On this week's “Edge of Reality Radio,” historian and connoisseur of the bizarre, Marc Hartzman, will be our tour guide on a journey through America's supernatural history. We'll look at famous haunted places and people – in other words, all things strange and spooky.

ICER, the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research, is an organization of scientists, academics and leading UFO researchers who believe that we are not alone in the Universe. Representing 27 countries on five continents, they believe “it's time to start preparing for contact” with extraterrestrials. On this week's “Edge of Reality Radio,” I'll present ICER's Vice President, Gary Heseltine. Formerly with the UK's Royal Air Force Police, he's an ex-­­police detective who created a national UK database: PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFO Sightings). Gary will describe upcoming ICER efforts to get all countries involved with possible ET Contact and its global implications.

Have you ever wondered why more scientists don't come forward to talk about their own interest in and research of UFOs? Even though, in recent months, the American government has quietly, AND publicly, admitted that UFOs are, indeed, real objects that require serious scientific attention. For decades – even centuries – scientists have been in denial about the whole range of paranormal topics, afraid of stepping into these areas with an open mind. On this week's “Edge of Reality Radio,” I welcome Dr. Irena Scott, who has worked in important institutions involved with UFO research – like the Defense Intelligence Agency. AND, she has first-hand knowledge of UFO-related cases stemming from her own experiences. Dr. Scott will discuss the possibility that the UFO phenomenon could be interactive with human thoughts. http://irenascott.com/

This week’s “Edge of Reality Radio” offers a unique look at the making of a long-awaited UFO documentary, “The Phenomenon,” by filmmaker James Fox. Program host Lee Speigel also served as co-producer and co-writer on the film during the past three years. He and James will share the microphone and discuss the behind-the-scenes adventure of stitching together this thought-provoking film. From the gathering of previously unseen credible testimony of high-ranking government and military officials, visual evidence and archival official documents, Speigel and Fox describe how “The Phenomenon” -- which premiered digitally worldwide this week -- finally came alive after almost seven years in the making.

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel explores the long history of the U.S. and Russia research into Mind Over Matter and Remote Viewing with award-winning film producer, director, writer and host, Caroline Cory. She’ll offer many stories from her newly-released film, “Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible” -- accounts of incredible experiences by individuals with possible extra-sensory powers that appear to defy the laws of physics. Caroline will also reveal how each of us can learn to raise consciousness and enrich our lives.

What’s the foreseeable future of UFOlogy – the good, the bad, the ugly? On Thursday’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” acclaimed investigator/author David Marler will reveal up-to-the-minute rare and never-before-seen archival materials ahead of his appearance on this week’s History Channel episode of “Unidentified.” We’ll also explore the growing trend of triangular UFO reports.

One word describes why so many millions of people around the world are aware of and interested in UFOs or flying saucers or the idea that Earth may have been and is currently being visited by intelligent beings from somewhere else. And that one word is: Hollywood. On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel talks with Hollywood producer, screenwriter and news media veteran Bryce Zabel, who will take us behind the scenes of things he created which almost never made it to movie and television screens. Tune in Thursday nights, 8p-10p, Eastern, on kgraradio.com.

On This week's "Edge of Reality Radio," Lee Speigel dives headfirst into The Black Vault, the largest privately run archive of declassified government documents in the world. Join us with Black Vault creator John Greenewald.

Some countries have experienced a breakout of UFO sightings in recent months. And many astronomers are upset that it will interfere with their nightly astronomical observations. This background image shows 60 Starlink mini-satellites over the Netherlands after space tech company SpaceX launched them from Florida. These were the first of almost 12,000 that will offer more global internet coverage to the world. UFOs or astro-headache?

Why doesn't the public hear more from scientists who actually want a serious global examination of UFOs (or UAPs: Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena)? This week on "Edge of Reality Radio," Lee Speigel looks at the SCU, or Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies. It's a think tank of scientists, former military officers and law enforcement personnel who actively investigate the UFO phenomenon. Tune in Thursday nights, 8p-10p, Eastern, on kgraradio.com.

If you'd like to see something wondrous, exhilarating, amazing, even a little overwhelming and scary, just go outside at night and look up at a clear sky and gaze at the stars in our tiny corner of the Milky Way Galaxy. Every moment of every day, there's something incredible going on in outer space. On this week's "Edge of Reality Radio," Lee Speigel's KGRA Radio colleague, astronomer Marc Dantonio, will take us on a tour and make us believe that we're not alone in the Universe.

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel looks at the growing number of Earthlings who believe they’ve had very close encounters and abductions by non-human beings. It’s not just a handful anymore, but it’s becoming an actual sub-culture of people who are known as “experiencers.” Lee will talk with Kathleen Marden, one of the world’s foremost authorities on this subject. Tune in live Thursday nights at 8p-10p, Eastern, on kgraradio.com.

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel explores the very close encounters of author Whitley Strieber, whose 1985 New York Times best-seller, “Communion,” terrified and fascinated the public. Strieber has always maintained he was abducted from his upstate New York cabin by non-human beings.

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel looks at the intriguing theory that some UFOs and alleged aliens might simply be US from the future, coming back in time to study their early beginnings. In his recent book, “Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon,” Dr. Michael Masters of Montana Tech, considers the idea that, at some distant point in the future, our human descendants have figured out how to travel through time and they might be visiting and studying their own evolutionary past, or, in other words: US! Tune in Thursday nights at 8p-10p, Eastern, on kgraradio.com.

On this week’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” Lee Speigel looks at the idea that more than 75% of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life, and how this level of belief may rival a belief in God. Dr. Diana Pasulka, a professor of religion at the University of No. Carolina discusses scientists who believe their innovative technologies are inspired by alien artifacts.
