Podcasts about close encounters

In this SITS classic from 2017, we speak with Mark O'Connell. With UFOs once again dominating headlines through government hearings, whistleblower claims, and renewed public interest, we're revisiting this conversation with O'Connell about his book,The Close Encounters Man: How One Man Made the World Believe in UFOs, chronicling the life of legendary astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Originally hired by the Air Force to debunk UFO sightings, Hynek's years investigating unexplained cases led him to a startling conclusion: UFOs deserved serious scientific attention. Through unprecedented access to Hynek's personal and professional files, including his time working with Steven Spielberg, O'Connell paints a compelling portrait of the man who transformed from skeptic to pioneer in UFO research. At a time when many of the same questions Hynek raised decades ago are resurfacing today, this episode remains more relevant than ever.

Congressional hearings, whistleblower allegations, and the release of new government records in recent weeks have continued to fuel public questions of whether long-hidden information about UFOs may finally be coming to light. And part of that fascination also extends to Hollywood, with the forthcoming release of Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day, which early reviews have called one of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind director's best films in decades. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at the possibility of a real-life "Disclosure Day," and how a scientific committee long involved in the serious search for evidence of intelligent life on other worlds is working on establishing new protocols for how final proof of alien life should be revealed to the public if we find them.

THE SOLO CUP has arrived. With Ripley Scott currently serving a short sentence at the KX-113 Interdimensional Detention Complex for an absolutely irresponsible amount of docking tickets, parking violations, and restricted wormhole tolls, Joeba Fett finds himself unsupervised aboard The Black Swirl. In the very first edition of The Solo Cup, Joeba digs through years of listener hails, answering Dimension Hopper questions ranging from favorite Blink songs and sci-fi movies to cryptids, conspiracies, shipboard disasters, and a few questions that probably should have remained classified. Then Joeba debuts a brand-new recurring segment:

Close Encounters of the Third Kind came out in December 1977, made $116 million in the US alone, and lost the box office crown for that year to exactly one movie: Star Wars. Not a bad second place.Josh, Garrett, and David kick off Spielberg in Space Month with Spielberg's pre-E.T. love letter to alien optimism. They get into why Richard Dreyfus was the right guy for a role Steve McQueen, Al Pacino, and Gene Hackman all passed on, why the mashed potatoes scene is actually the emotional center of the whole thing, and what it means that this is basically the only alien movie where nobody tries to blow anything up. All three hosts land at four and a half stars. Josh finally wins the Letterboxd guessing game. David's son watched the aliens and said they looked like naked five-year-olds.So Many Sequels is your book club for movies. Follow along at somanysequels.com and @somanysequelspod on Instagram.

John Williams has written some of the most famous film scores ever, from Star Wars to Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park. But before the blockbuster success, there was a kid growing up around jazz musicians in New York, and a young composer trying to find his voice. In this episode, journalist Tim Greiving takes us through John's early life and career, from his years as a session player to the meeting with Steven Spielberg that changed everything. Along the way, we unpack the stories behind John's early iconic scores, including the two-note terror of Jaws, the symphonic world of Star Wars, and the mysteries of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

WE'RE ON the verge of the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Or so we're supposed to believe. Steven Spielberg's new movie Disclosure Day will be released June 12, 2026. In interviews, he's made it clear that he's moved from wanting to believe in the existence of ETIs (Extra-Terrestrial Intelligences) when he directed Close Encounters of the Third Kind and ET: The Extra-Terrestrial to actually believing. It appears his new film is intended to convince the rest of us.  There are biblical answers to the questions posed by the UFO/UAP and alien abduction phenomena. We lay those out in this episode, and for a deep dive we direct you to Destination: Earth (https://amzn.to/4vj7S1E), the book co-authored by Derek with Donna Howell and Allie Anderson.

Bizarre News | Paranormal Podcast This month's Bizarre News has us covering four stories that somehow all ended up connecting — starting with renowned physicist Michio Kaku going on Diary of a CEO and laying out his case that alien life almost certainly exists, UAPs are real but we're still at Close Encounters of the First Kind, and if they wanted us gone we'd already be gone, which is either very reassuring or something we're choosing not to think too hard about. Then we got into a longtime CIA-connected UFO researcher claiming the US government has bodies from four different alien species including Grays, Nordics, Reptilians, and Insectoids, followed by creepy security footage from an oil field in Argentina where workers have been reporting screaming in the night and a traffic cone that very confidently moved itself while nobody was around — local folklore pointing to a duende, a mischievous goblin. We wrapped up with a woman named Kathy McDaniel who had a near-death experience and instead of the peaceful light and deceased relatives everybody talks about, found herself surrounded by fog, shrieking, and a booming voice asking her if she knew where she was.

Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

The question isn't whether the lights in the sky are real. It's what doors you're actually opening when you go looking for them.Something strange has been happening at the intersection of UFO culture and spirituality. People are gathering in the dark, meditating in circles, performing rituals, and then pointing cameras at the night sky and calling it contact. Steven Greer has built an entire ecosystem around it with documentaries, paid expeditions, and a protocol he calls CE-5 or Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind. And long before Greer, a man named Albert Bender was sending telepathic transmissions into space from a room he'd converted into a chamber of horrors, complete with an altar.What is the Christian response? Many believers aren't sure how to engage the UFO conversation without dismissing it entirely or getting pulled into frameworks that are functionally occult. This episode names that tension and gives you a theological map to navigate it. 2 Corinthians 11:14 says Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. His strategy is not to appear monstrous, but to appear luminous, benevolent, and higher. The CE-5 framework, examined through that lens, looks less like a spiritual frontier and more like a very old deception wearing a new coat of paint.And underneath all of it? The desire is real. People want to know they're not alone. That contact with something higher is actually possible. That desire isn't wrong — it's just aimed at the wrong door. John 10:9: "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved."0:00 – Introduction0:53 – Albert Bender's Origins2:47 – World Contact Day5:40 – Steven Greer & C59:18 – Benevolent ETs Claim13:26 – Prophet Yahweh's Hoax15:21 – Genuine UAP Phenomena17:07 – Demonic Spiritual Danger20:06 – The Gospel AnswerSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

My guest for this episode is historian and filmmaker Dean Bertram. Dean's current project is The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers, a documentary about the relationship between science fiction pioneer Raymond A. Palmer and the writer Richard Shaver, whose stories about his encounters with terrifying subterranean beings called Deros captivated readers in the pages of the magazine Amazing Stories (which Palmer edited at the time) in the 1940's. The ‘Shaver Mysteries' as they came to be known would also set the stage for the emergence of the UFO phenomenon in post-war America. In the interview I begin by talking with Dean about how the idea for the documentary came about, after which we discuss Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver and the subtle way that their lives seemed to complement one another. We also talk about the Shaver Mysteries and the themes they explored along with Ray Palmer's connection to Kenneth Arnold and the enigmatic Maury Island incident.

WE HAVE RETURNED! In this extra-terrestrial episode of Sorry, We Tried, we come out of hibernation (sorry about that, by the way) to continue our SPIELBERGATHON. We're going through some of iconic director Steven Spielberg's greatest hits to get ready for his new movie this Summer; this time, we talk about his groundbreaking UFO flick, Close Encounters With the Third Kind from 1977! Also in this episode, Harrison says possibly the worst thing he's ever said. Jessie reveals one reason she quit the music industry. Spencer sees a bizarre ad on Facebook that shakes him forever.

Ashwin, Amartya, Dhruv, Varun, and Cris convene in a divergent manel to tackle Steven Spielberg's association with science fiction. This first in a series of three episodes looks at "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", and "A.I. Artificial Intelligence". Minor digressions to address the cinematic spectacles known as "Jaani Dushman — Ek Anokhi Kahani" and "Koi Mil Gaya" aside, this is one of the saner offerings from the QID studio, all thanks to host and chief Spielberg champion Varun.The second episode will revolve around "Minority Report", "War of the Worlds", and "Ready Player One", and the series will close with "Disclosure Day", the latest film by the Father of the Blockbuster, back in the director's chair after a hiatus of four years, the longest time he has taken between films in fifty-two years of feature filmmaking.MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL 3 MOVIES & MINOR ONES FOR "THE FABELMANS"TIME CODESIntros to Spielberg's Sci-Fi Cinema - [00:00 - 17:13]"Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - [17:13 - 01:25:41]"E.T.

In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! #WDRadio — May 17, 2026HOUR ONE: 7-year-old Maria went missing in 1957, and while her body was later found, her murder was never solved and the case went cold – until 50 years later when the case was finally solved and closed. But it turns out everybody was wrong. (A Cold Case Finally Solved… Then Unsolved) *** If you take State Route 375 through Nevada you will pass by the infamous Area-51. But of course they are not going to let you in, even if you ask nicely. But State Route 375 isn't called the Extraterrestrial Highway just because of one area you can't visit – there's a lot more to it than that. (The 98-Mile Extraterrestrial Highway) *** Hikers sometimes get lost in the woods, as do children of course. But those on bikes almost never disappear; but there is one tragic case of a fat tire rider who couldn't be found. (The Vanished Mountain Biker) *** In 1910 two witnesses see a pair of lights that transform into radiant beings with “human form.” You might dismiss the report as misidentification of ball lightning or some other natural explanation – but in 1952 those radiant humanoid beings of light were seen again! (Close Encounters of the Fairy Kind)==========HOUR TWO: "It was a terrible sight… I have seen horrible sights, but never anything like this.” Those were the words of the local undertaker after seeing the results of a triple murder laying before him in 1932 Pennsylvania. (The Axe Murders of Lykens) *** A gypsy once told Leonarda that all of her children would die before her.  A different fortuneteller  told her that she faced either a future in prison or in a criminal asylum. And the reason she gave for becoming a serial killer is something you'd hear out of a bad direct-to-video horror film. And that's a tiny sample of this woman's insanely dark life – which began even before her birth. (The Woman Who Made Soap) *** Ireland's Loftus Hall is considered by many to be the most haunted location on all the Emerald Isle. But the most infamous story of Loftus Hall begins not with terror, but with romance… with a beautiful young girl falling madly in love with… the devil. (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) ==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil! (The Girl Who Fell In Love With The Devil) *** Chlorosis was a frequently diagnosed disease during the 19th century that gave the skin of the afflicted a greenish tinge. As a cure, doctors told young women to get married and reproduce. As you can probably surmise, the cure was not in the least bit effective. (The Girls Who Turned Green) *** Have you heard of the poor girl who was bullied and pushed down into a sewer by those whom she thought were her friends? I'll tell you the story. And while this episode is not a creepypasta episode, so all the stories are supposed to be non-fiction, that is… true, I will be sharing this urban legend anyway – because when it comes to urban legends, sometimes it's best to err on the side of caution and simply assume they are true. (The Urban Legend of Carmen Winstead) *** Weirdo Family member Brad Hicks describes the experience as “cool… and creepy as hell”. We'll tell you his story. (The Thing In The Light) *** More of the story of Ireland's Loftus Hall and the young girl who fell in love with the devil!

The Pentagon has released hundreds of declassified files, pictures and videos relating to UAPs - Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena - more popularly known as UFOs. The materials date back to the late 1940s and include firsthand but generally uncorroborated narratives from military officers and civilians as well as grainy photos and videos that could really be anything.Various government and private investigations into whether extraterrestrials have tried to make contact have never come up with anything conclusive. But since the end of World War II and the start of the Space Race and the Cold War, UFO culture in the United States has always intersected with fear of others and distrust in the system on the one hand, and government secrecy and coverup on the other hand - going as far as the Pentagon testing planes and surveillance equipment and blaming sightings on aliens.Many questions are still open. Are we alone? Have we been visited? But perhaps most importantly, why is the Trump administration releasing these files now?Plus: Sign the petition to pardon whistleblower John Kiriakou: https://change.org/PardonJohnSupport the show

We start our Spielberg Through the Decades series leading up to his new film, Disclosure Day, with his seminal 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This marks his first foray into alien encounters, but most certainly would not be his last. In fact, next episode for our '80s selection we will discuss E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Following that is our '90s pick, Saving Private Ryan!

Did you know that the Brazilian military chased luminous aliens in 2008? Famous Brazilian UFO researcher, Rony Vernet, joins Stephen Diener to lay out the surprising details of multiple shocking close encounter stories you've never heard. One of which includes admissions from a high ranking military member about that little known, but major incident from 2008...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

James Gunn is breaking down the future of DC—and the strategy might surprise you. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we dive deep into why Gunn chose NOT to fully reboot the DC Universe, what that means for continuity, and how it impacts upcoming DC projects.

Plus, there's buzz around "Disclosure Day" sparking fresh conversations about Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and a new update on Avatar 4 that reveals a significant time jump in the story. On the Marvel side (sort of), early reactions to Spider-Noir are in—and comparisons to Batman: The Animated Series are setting expectations high.
