Podcasts about allen hynek

Paul Hynek, son of the legendary Dr. J. Allen Hynek, sits down with Stephen Diener to discuss everything ranging from his father's work, being on set with Steven Spielberg, why we shouldn't rely on the government for disclosure, and why Neil deGrasse Tyson is so skeptical about the idea of extra terrestrials. All that and so much more in this fun and compelling conversation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Jacques Vallée seems to have a talent for being in the right place at the right time. He was a newcomer at a French observatory when he saw evidence of a UFO incident being tossed aside, and it ignited a lifelong interest in the phenomenon. He was at Northwestern University working on a precursor version of what evolved into the internet, earned his PhD in what we now know as artificial intelligence. And he was on the ground in Silicon Valley, guiding investments in companies and ideas that revolutionized modern technology. Throughout the different phases of his life, he's maintained an abiding interest in the UFO mystery. His work inspired the Lacombe character in Steven Spielberg's monumental film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Vallée worked hand in hand with Dr. J. Allen Hynek during and after the infamous Project Blue Book program, has written the most influential books in the history of the UFO subject, was directly involved with research that led to classified projects to train remote viewers, and later had an essential role in Robert Bigelow's groundbreaking organization (NIDS) as well as the DIA's classified investigation AAWSAP. So, what is he focusing on these days? Is a form of disclosure on the way? Can Congress force the secret keepers to divulge what they know? Vallée has acknowledged that UFO crashes are real, as are crash retrieval operations, but where are the retrieved articles stored and studied, including the Trinity craft he spent years investigating? In this wide-ranging interview, Jeremy and George ask Ufology's most serious thinker and writer to address the thorniest issues now facing Congress, the public, and science itself in trying to understand the multiple layers of secrecy and confusion that continue to befuddle scientists, governments, and everyone with a serious interest in figuring out the truth. Dr. Vallée also describes the most significant roadblocks that remain today, and offers advice on how we might move forward. The conversation is long, complex, and serious, much like Vallée himself.

In the improbably convoluted corridors of cosmic bureaucracy, where advanced civilizations traverse light-years only to suffer from basic provisioning oversights, the 1961 Simonton Encounter stands as a beacon of underwhelming revelation. Joe Simonton, a steadfast Wisconsin plumber and chicken farmer, interrupted his mundane morning chores by a peculiar noise, only to confront a metallic saucer hovering insolently in his yard—not landing with dramatic flair, but lingering aloof like a guest who'd forgotten the invitation. Inside, three five-foot figures in dark uniforms, one bedecked with inexplicable red stripes, wordlessly bartered a two-handled jug for water, offering in return four hot, greasy pancakes—thin discs riddled with holes, prepared on a flameless device that mocked earthly kitchens.Simonton's taste test yielded cardboard blandness, sans salt, prompting a cascade of absurdity: he reported to authorities, surrendering the artifacts to Project Blue Book under Dr. J. Allen Hynek's gaze. Analysis revealed hydrogenated fat, starch, buckwheat, soy, and bran—terrestrial staples with an enigmatic wheat variant, leading to wild speculations of alien dietary woes or frugal foraging. Officially "unexplained," the case evaporated into ridicule, with Simonton regretting his candour amid community scorn, and the pancakes mysteriously "disappearing" from Air Force vaults, a testament to administrative incompetence over conspiracy.This episode of "That Unconventional Ufologist" delves deep into the encounter's satirical splendour: contrasting high-tech levitation with culinary catastrophe, drawing parallels to 1954's "angel hair" filaments (mere spider silk?) and 1965's Valensole soil sabotage. We explore ufology's mundane motifs—ephemeral evidence, behavioural whimsy—and philosophical fallout: if aliens crave unsalted carbs, what does that say about universal evolution? From Hynek's endorsement of Simonton's sincerity to the event's TV adaptation, we unpack how cosmic contact favours slapstick over spectacle, urging listeners to question if the stars hide profound truths or just poorly seasoned snacks.

In this in-depth interview, host Martin Willis welcomes veteran UFO researcher Donald Schmitt, protégé of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the famed astronomer behind Project Blue Book. Schmitt shares rare personal insights into Hynek's life, his shift from skeptic to believer, and the behind-the-scenes struggles with government secrecy. They explore pivotal UFO cases including Socorro, Roswell, Pascagoula, Travis Walton, and reveal how Hynek quietly investigated Roswell before its public rediscovery. Schmitt reflects on Hynek's legacy, his influence on modern UFO research, and what Hynek might think of later landmark encounters such as the Ariel School Incident. A moving conversation about mentorship, truth-seeking, and carrying forward Hynek's mission to legitimize the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon.SHOW NOTES

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In the late 1960s, Dr. J. Allen Hynek was a key figure in getting members of the scientific community to take flying saucers/UFOs seriously. He was a prominent astronomer who was involved in the mystery at the very beginning as a consultant for the Air Force's investigation, which operated for most of its existence as Project Blue Book until its termination in 1969. He was born in Chicago in 1910 and worked and lived in Ohio from 1935 until he became chair of the astronomy department at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, in 1960. In 1973, he founded the Center for UFO Studies, which was based in Chicago. Then, in 1984, after spending his entire life in the Midwest, he rather suddenly moved with his family from Chicago to Scottsdale, Arizona. In this blog, we'll explore what was going on behind the scenes. Read more →

BASED ON A TRUE STORY (BOATS EP. 376) — This special three-in-one episode is a thorough exploration of the true story behind the U.S. government's top secret program investigating UFOs called Project Blue Book. In 2019, the History Channel released a dramatized version of Project Blue Book's reports starring Aidan Gillen as Dr. J. Allen Hynek.Ufologist Rob Kristoffersen will help us uncover the true story behind each episode of the twenty episodes in the TV series. Then, the third part of our episode today is to talk to David O'Leary (Creator of Project Blue Book) and Sean Jablonski (Showrunner of Project Blue Book) to go behind what it took to make a series about UFOs that is based on true events.Where to watch Project Blue BookListen to Rob's awesome podcast, Our Strange SkiesRead the U.S. Air Force fact sheet on Project Blue BookAnswer this question from the episode: What do you think people are seeing when they report UFOs?

The Halloween Jack-o'-lantern, made from pumpkins in the US and originally turnips in the UK, began its existence as a wisp of glowing marsh gas or "spooklight." We begin our episode with a montage of modern American spooklights including that of Oklahoma's "Spooklight Road," North Carolina's Brown Mountain, and the flying saucers sighted in Michigan in 1966, famously identified by investigator Allen Hynek  as "swamp gas." "Jack-o'-lantern"  was just another name given to what's more widely known now as a Will-o'-the-wisp -- a wavering, bobbing light seen in marshy places, understood as mischievous spirit intent on leading travelers off course and into their doom in muck and mire.  Flaming methane produced by rotting vegetation in such environments, is said to the the cause of the phenomenon, though the mode of ignition is still largely a matter of debate. The Latin name for such lights, ignis fatuus  (ool's fire), was also applied to phenomena having nothing to do with swamps, as it's been used interchangeably with "St. Elmo's Fire" to describe electrical discharges seen on ships; masts and other rodlike protrusions when atmospheric conditions are right. We hear a dramatic first-person account from 1847, in which St. Elmo's Fire (identified by antiquarian Henry Duncan as ignis fatuus) appears on a coachman's whip during a storm. A mirage in a marsh. Coloured wood engraving by C Whymper. Gas. Contributors: Charles H Whymper (1853–1941). We then hear what scientists of the 16th and 17th century made of ignis fatuus, often relating it  unexpectedly to meteors or luminous insects, while mocking "the superstitions" who imagined it as wandering spirits alight with the flames of Purgatory. Along with marsh spirits exlusively dedicated to misleading travelers, ignis fatuus could also be a temporary  form  taken by shapeshifting fairy folk like Puck or Robin Goodfellow.  We hear an example of this from  the 1628 pamphlet, Robin Goodfellow, his Mad Pranks and Merry Jests. We also see the term appearing in literature of the 16th and 17th century as a metaphor for treachery or deception, in works by John Milton and William Shakespeare. We run through the variety of colorful regional names by which Will-o-the-Wisps were known: Bob-a-longs, Pinkets, Spunkies, Merry Dancers, Nimble men, Hinkypunks, and Flibberdigibbets, as well as some female variants including Peg-a-lantern and Kitty with the Candlestick. In Wales, these mysterious lights could be omens of death, also known as "corpse candles," or "death lights." Appearing around the home of the dying or at the deathbed, they were also called "fetch lights," as they would arrive when required to fetch the soul to the other side. In Cornwall, fool's fire is associated with the piskies, in particular Joan the Wad and her partner Jack-o'-the-Lantern, the former having acquired a mostly positive reputation in the 20th century as a luck-bringer. Mrs. Karswell also reads  some tales of ignis fatuus in the western counties, where the lights are called "hobby lanterns" (from hobgoblin) or  "lantern men." We then shift gears to discuss the pumpkin form of Jack-o'-lantern, beginning with a well-circulated Irish origin story. A quick summary: the light carried in a hollowed vegetable (a pumpkin in the New World or turnip in the Old) represents the spirit of a notorious sinner, "Jack," or "Stingy Jack," who upon death finds he is too wicked for Heaven and too troublesome for Hell. Consquently, he is condemned to wander the earth till Judgement Day, given the peculiar lantern to light his way. This, at least, is the most recent version of the tale, but when it first appeared in print, in a 1936 edition of the Dublin Penny Journal, there's no mention of any hollowed vegetable, much less of Halloween -- meaning this "ancient legend" actually evolved as Halloween folklore in the second half of the 20th century. We then do a bit more myth-busting on the other side of the Atlantic...

We continue our exploration of J. Allen Hynek's life, but also take a sharp left turn to explore bayesian analysis, and how it can help us understand why aliens are not a particularly likely answer to the mystery of UFOs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who really controls the UFO narrative?This episode of the Deep Dive Podcast explores the shadowy networks behind decades of secrecy, manipulation, and controlled disclosure. From the 1980s Aviary to the modern TTSA initiative, we trace how scientists, intelligence officials, and even rock stars have shaped public understanding of the phenomenon—often from behind the curtain.We begin with Bill Moore, whose bestselling book “The Roswell Incident” reignited public interest in crash retrievals. But Moore's success made him a target. Just days before publication, he was approached by a figure known only as “Falcon,” offering classified information. Moore accepted—and soon found himself promoting the infamous MJ-12 documents, which remain controversial to this day.Was Moore being used? The Paul Bennewitz affair suggests so. Bennewitz, a scientist near Kirtland Air Force Base, began intercepting strange signals and believed he was tracking alien craft. In reality, he was detecting classified military tests. Rather than confront him directly, the Air Force fed him disinformation—wild stories about treaties, underground bases, and abductions. Moore later admitted he was part of that operation, passing along misleading information to protect national security.This pattern—using civilian researchers to leak, shape, or distort the narrative—didn't end with Moore. It evolved. Fast forward to 2016, and Tom DeLonge, frontman of Blink-182, steps into the role. His organization, To the Stars Academy (TTSA), was staffed with former intelligence and aerospace insiders. Their goal? Managed disclosure. TTSA became a corporate vehicle for revealing UAP information outside government channels.But the launch wasn't smooth. A PR blunder involving a misidentified balloon photo cast early doubt. Still, TTSA's roster was impressive: Luis Elizondo, Chris Mellon, Jim Semivan. These weren't fringe believers—they were seasoned operatives. And they believed the public deserved to know more.Behind these efforts lies the “invisible college,” a term coined by Jacques Vallée and J. Allen Hynek. It refers to an informal network of researchers, scientists, and intelligence officials who operate outside traditional oversight. Figures like Kit Green (Blue Jay) and Ron Pandolfi (Pelican) exemplify this. Green, a CIA analyst, managed the “weird desk,” overseeing investigations into UFOs and psychic phenomena. Pandolfi, often described as the CIA's UFO gatekeeper, reportedly briefed the Clinton White House during the Rockefeller disclosure push.These individuals weren't just theorizing—they were studying experiencers. Green, Puthoff, and Nolan began looking for biological markers: unique DNA, brain anomalies, signs of heightened intuition. The hypothesis? Some people might be biologically tuned to perceive the phenomenon—antenna brains, if you will.And the phenomenon itself? It may be more than craft. Hal Puthoff described symbols appearing at Skinwalker Ranch—deliberate signs, not random events. Bigelow echoed this, calling the phenomenon a game, a messaging system. It's not just about propulsion—it's about interaction.This reframes the entire debate. If the phenomenon is consciousness-linked, then disclosure isn't just about revealing documents. It's about confronting a truth that may be, as Jim Semivan put it, “indigestible.” Not because it's too strange, but because it challenges our fundamental understanding of reality.So who's best equipped to tackle this? Maybe not just generals and engineers. Maybe it's time for psychologists, philosophers, and experiencers to take the lead. #ufo #ufotwitter #disinformation #President

Natty shares an intriguing account from 1966, when a small town in Michigan experienced a spate of unusual UFO sightings. After a local family's encounter with a football-shaped craft emitting pulsating lights, the sheriff's office received 50 more reports of similar sightings. Despite skepticism and even vandalism targeting the witnesses, the community's unwavering response led to an official investigation by Project Blue Book. The next episode promises to delve deeper into the events that followed, including further sightings in Hillsdale.Click here for merch sites, patreon site, website, to donate, and join me on social media!Guest Links:Click here for OUCH!

Tucked snuggly into the original Project Blue Book files was a two-page memo that easily could have been lost to time. However, in 1967, noted astronomer and computer scientist, Jacques Vallée, was helping organize the overwhelming amount of backlogged files of Dr. J. Allen Hynek. That's when Vallée discovered a letter amongst the files that both fascinated and shocked him. It was stamped in red ink ‘SECRET – Security Information.' and signed by a man Vallée would refer to only as "Pentacle." Was a secret UFO study running parallel to Project Blue Book and were those involved actually monitoring UFO events in real-time? Even more mysterious, was this secret group simulating planned UFO events as well? We are joined by Micah Hanks of The Debrief to break down the highly intriguing Pentacle Memorandum from a historical context and its possible connections to modern day UFO programs.

In 1978, Grenada's Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy brought UFOs to the floor of the United Nations—backed by researchers like Jacques Vallée and J. Allen Hynek. Their goal? A global investigation into UAPs. However, despite their efforts, the UN dismissed the initiative, citing political and scientific resistance. Today, as interest in UAPs surges worldwide, we ask: Was Gairy ahead of his time? Should the UN revisit the issue now? And what would it take for global cooperation on this mystery in the skies? I sat down with Jacques Vallee, an astrophysicist, computer scientist, author, and UAP researcher, to discuss the first United Nations meeting he attended in 1978 and the current effects that will one day make this a reality.  Join us as we get rebelliously curious.

Mark O'Connell returns to Casual Space to discuss one of the most extraordinary scientific collaborations in human history: the 1957 International Geophysical Year. With his signature wit and storytelling style, Mark takes us on the journey behind his NEW book, The Year Science Changed Everything, revealing how 6,000 scientists from 66 nations put aside political differences to study Earth's greatest mysteries—from the depths of the ocean to the edge of space. Beth and Mark explore the ripple effects of this global effort, including the formation of the Antarctic Treaty, the surprising roots of the Artemis Accords, and what IGY can teach us about tackling today's climate crisis. You'll hear how a Steely Dan song sparked Mark's decades-long curiosity, how scientific rivalries shaped history, and yes—even how a penguin nap could put you in violation of an international agreement. It's part history lesson, part love letter to science, and all kinds of fun. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at Mark's next creative project: a comedy script about astronomers Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe—think Amadeus meets Knives Out, with a golden nose and planetary motion thrown in.     About Mark O'Connell Mark O'Connell is the author of The Year Science Changed Everything: 1957's International Geophysical Year and the Future of Our Planet, published by Prometheus Books.

“Even for nonbelievers, the author's palpable excitement over the subject matter is endearing and entertaining. Ufologists won't want to miss this work.” —Foreword ReviewsIn 1972, American astronomer and ufologist J. Allen Hynek first coined the term “close encounter.” He also identified three types of close encounters with UFOs. Since then, several more types of encounters have been proposed. A close encounter of the fourth kind is an alien abduction. A closer encounter of the fifth kind is voluntary, bilateral contact with an alien species.We are no longer just looking at strange flying objects in the skies; now we are beginning to interact with the actual pilots, crew, and passengers!Do aliens exist? In 2013, one poll showed that nearly half of all Americans (48 percent) believe UFOs may be a sign of extraterrestrial visitation; another found that 10 percent of Americans claim to have actually witnessed an actual UFO; and yet another showed that 2.9 million Americans believe they had actually been abducted by aliens.If aliens exist and are visiting us, we need to talk!Who will speak to them on behalf of planet Earth? Who can translate their intentions—good or evil—toward the human race? How can we learn about their advanced technologies? Can aliens speak human languages?These and even more fascinating questions are all addressed in How to Talk to an Alien.“Nancy du Tertre covers the various considerations involved with extraterrestrial communication, including the use of alien technology, ET linguistics, and the possibility of using telepathy and dreams.

After Project Blue Book was shut down in 1969, private UFO groups were the only organizations left in the U.S. that would take UFO reports, and the two biggest were the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. Donald Keyhoe was ousted as NICAP's director just three days before the December 17, 1969, press release announcing Blue Book's termination, and NICAP quickly became a shadow of its former self while APRO, run by its founders Jim and Coral Lorenzen, remained a formidable and influential organization. That same year, a group of APRO investigators living in the Midwest organized by Walt Andrus as the Tri State Study Group, decided on May 31st to branch off from APRO and operate as the Midwest UFO Network. This was in reaction to the Lorenzens' move towards a more centralized management strategy seeking to direct all field investigations from their office in Tucson, Arizona. The Lorenzens, particularly Coral, who had a reputation for being contentious (she frequently took out her ire in the pages of the APRO Bulletin, and her earliest targets as far back as 1952 were Albert K. Bender and James W. Moseley) took the Midwestern group's decision personally and held a grudge for years to come. The Midwest UFO Network soon outgrew its Midwestern boundaries and the name was changed to the Mutual UFO Network in 1973. A rivalry developed between the two, and this resulted in clashes when they happened to converge on a given case, and a prime example of this is the 1981 Cash-Landrum case. Read more →Part IIn last week's blog, we began looking at documents that provide a behind the scenes look at the rivalry between the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the Mutual UFO Network. APRO was founded in 1952 by Coral and Jim Lorenzen and MUFON was founded in 1969 by members who split off from APRO amidst bad feelings. Things came to a head during the investigation of the 1981 Cash-Landrum incident. As it was reported to have taken place in Huffman, Texas, APRO handed the case over to the director of the Houston-based Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team, John Schuessler, who was also the deputy director of MUFON. Coral wrote an article one and a half years after the reported incident that was published in the June 1982 Vol 30, No. 6 APRO Bulletin headlined “Rumors Permeate Cash-Landrum Case” wherein she claimed to know that what witnesses Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and Colby Landrum saw was a “U.S. experimental aircraft.” She also insinuated that Schuessler, MUFON director Walt Andrus, and former Project Blue Book consultant and founding director of the Center for UFO Studies J. Allen Hynek were part of a cover-up as they all had ties to various government organizations. Schuessler responded with a five-page letter to Jim Lorenzen defending himself and pleaded that if APRO had real knowledge of what it was the witnesses saw, he should share it as all three witnesses, particularly Betty Cash, seemed to have suffered the effects of radiation poisoning. This week, we'll begin with Coral's response. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

There are few voices in Ufology who have not only witnessed history but have actively shaped it. Paola Harris is one of them. For more than four decades, she has investigated some of the most compelling UFO cases, spoken to high-ranking military officials, and built personal relationships with some of the most influential figures in the field. From Dr. J. Allen Hynek to Dr. Michael Wolf to Colonel Philip J. Corso, Paola has been at the center of some of the most groundbreaking revelations about the UFO phenomenon. But tonight… this interview is different. Paola Harris isn't just here as an investigator. She's here as a pioneer, a truth-seeker, and someone who—without exaggeration—helped build this very platform you are listening to today. Before Veritas was what it is now, Paola answered every email, every phone call. She introduced me to the very people who helped shape my journey—names like Whitley Strieber, Clifford Stone, Edgar Mitchell, Dr. Steven Greer, Paul Hellyer, and many more. She never asked for anything in return. So tonight, we honor her. We will revisit her most significant investigations—the revelations of Dr. Michael Wolf, the hidden truths behind Dr. John Mack's work on alien abductions, the Remi Baca and Jose Padilla case that predates Roswell, and the mysterious human-like extraterrestrials who may already be among us. Are we truly alone? Or has the truth been hidden in plain sight all along? Paola Harris has spent her life searching for answers. And tonight, she shares them with us.

Patrick is joined by Paul Hynek, the son of J. Allen Hynek who consulted on Project Blue Book, Project Grudge and Project Sign and is widely regarded as one the top UFO voices of all time.

1169 UFOs, DMT & Bitcoin: Is Reality a Cosmic Blockchain? Aliens. Psychedelics. Bitcoin. What if I told you they're all connected—not just in some abstract, metaphysical way, but in a mind-blowing, paradigm-shattering way that could rewrite everything we think we know about reality? Paul Hynek, son of legendary UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek, joins Richard to reveal the hidden nexus between extraterrestrial intelligence, DMT, and Bitcoin. Could UFOs be AI-driven entities operating on an advanced blockchain economy? Is Bitcoin a primitive version of an interstellar currency? And could DMT function as a communication protocol linking us to higher-dimensional beings? On this episode, we go beyond government disclosure, beyond speculation—diving deep into the digital, the psychedelic, and the intergalactic. If you think you understand reality, prepare to have your mind rewired. GUEST: Paul Hynek is a Wharton MBA, finance professor at Pepperdine University, and a leading thinker at the intersection of technology, consciousness, and the unexplained. He is the creator of startup financial projections software that has raised over $1 billion for thousands and startups.

With the UAP and UFOs in the news with Congressional UAP hearings with Lue Elizondo and drones flying over New Jersey, scholars are taking the UAP issue seriously with a new organization, The Visible College.Dr. Steven Brown, Dr. Janis Whitlock, and Dr. Jed Verity join us to discuss their new organization, The Visible College, a volunteer group of scholars conducting and promoting serious research into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and related topics.Their website notes that J. Allen Hynek, the well-known scientific consultant to the US Air Force, once referred to the group of academics working on the UFO subject in secrecy or at least anonymity as "The Invisible College." Jacques Vallee picked up this designation for the title of his book The Invisible College: What a Group of Scientists has Discovered about UFO Influences on the Human Race.The Good Trouble Show: Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/thegoodtroubleshowPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheGoodTroubleShow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoodTroubleShow Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodTroubleShowInstagram: @goodtroubleshow TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodtroubleshow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Good-Trouble-Show-With-Matt-Ford-106009712211646Threads:  @TheGoodTroubleShowBlueSky: @TheGoodTroubleShow#ufo#uap #thegoodtroubleshow#mattfordBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-trouble-show-with-matt-ford--5808897/support.

Blake tries to talk Jeb off the ledge as we return to the classic theme of "ancient astronauts" in this throwback episode titled: Earth Visitors. Some links relevant to our discussion: Dejah Thoris (character) MUFON/Harzan scandal Roman Dodecahedrons (archaeology) Frank Frazetta Boris Vallejo We mention Zecharia Sitchin. Research suggests humans grow more neurons than did Neanderthals. A bunch of this episode comes from the work of Maurice Chatelain, who we shall refer to as "Shadowlane." His book Our Cosmic Ancestors sports one of the more interesting book covers we've seen while researching this show. He also wrote Our Ancestors Came from Outer Space. Maurice Chatelain's credentials appear to have been somewhat overstated in the episode. We'll be talking about several "Out of Place Artifacts" or OOPAs in this episode. Let's start with the "Boot Print" aka The Meister Print. (pictured below) See also this article by Glenn Kuban. Very compelling stuff. I guess. I mean it sort of looks like show print. This interesting looking skull also sent us down some research holes. The text of the episode seems to be talking about the Del Mar Skull but the image doesn't look like a close match. A lot of "shapes on the earth" are discussed. The shapes require you to do a lot of work. We'll get into that in the episode. But one is the Maltese Cross that is absolutely stunning, so long as you ignore that some of the points are hundreds of miles from the alleged anchor points and that the temples allegedly at each point were centuries apart. Skeptical response via CSICOP. Also - this is supposed to be a "pyramid" but seems to be more of what geometry wonks call a "triangle." I'm trying to find the type of terminal behind our statistician. And - behind the scenes I've managed to contact him and he assures me that the episode required many takes and that his students reported they made him sound like he believes in the whole ancient astronauts thing... More on this if I hear back from a rather lengthy email I sent him today (12/13/24). Read even more about the Monte Carlo Method! Vintage ad for the The Outer Space Connection. According to Scientific American, the idea that indigenous Americans were here for a very long time (from across the Bering sea) really kicked off in the 1930s. Read more about The Elephant Slab hoax. This montage of Kachina dolls really impressed Blake: Nimoy Fashion Alert! Native Jewelry Artist Preston Monongye Engineer Charles Ruggles Could he be LARPing J. Allen Hynek? Finally we get to the Cosa Artifact. And - of course, The Jupiter Menace (1982)

My special guest tonight is Ann Eller who worked for the famous ufologist Dr. J. Allen Hynek in the months prior to his death and started to have her own ET experiences.     Pole Shift: The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis is a pseudo-scientific claim that there have been recent, geologically rapid shifts in the axis of rotation of Earth, causing calamities such as floods and tectonic events[1] or relatively rapid climate changes. There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet. However, in what is known as true polar wander, the Earth rotates with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200 million years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no rapid shifts in Earth's geographic axial pole were found during this period.[2] A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° or less per million years.[3] Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically-rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the magnetic poles of Earth shifted by approximately 55° due to a large shift in the crust.[4] The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an amplified event of a true polar wander. Geologically, a surface shift separate from a planetary shift, enabled by earth's molten core. Pole shift hypotheses are not connected with plate tectonics, the well-accepted geological theory that Earth's surface consists of solid plates which shift over a viscous, or semifluid asthenosphere; nor with continental drift, the corollary to plate tectonics which maintains that locations of the continents have moved slowly over the surface of Earth,[5] resulting in the gradual emerging and breakup of continents and oceans over hundreds of millions of years.[6] Pole shift hypotheses are not the same as geomagnetic reversal, the occasional reversal of Earth's magnetic field (effectively switching the north and south magnetic poles).Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
