What happens when the people reporting UFO encounters are trained observers whose careers depend on getting the details right? British police inspector Roy Teague joins me to discuss his book Close Encounters of the Police Kind and the remarkable accounts he has collected from hundreds of police officers. We talk about why serving officers are often reluctant to come forward, the stigma that still surrounds the subject, and why Roy believes law enforcement witnesses can bring a uniquely valuable perspective to the UAP mystery. Roy also shares several extraordinary cases, including police helicopter crews encountering unexplained craft over London, officers reporting missing time after a massive triangular object passed overhead, and a bizarre glowing object that appeared to follow a police car before interfering with its radios. We get into alleged abductions, the so-called hitchhiker effect, encounters that seemed strangely aware of the witnesses, and how years of interviewing officers transformed Roy from a skeptic into someone convinced that something very real and very unusual is happening in our skies.

People across Texas have been reporting creatures built like men for generations, from a hulking figure with glowing red eyes watching a family's ranch house near Amarillo in 1970 to a white humanoid with wings that a driver says overtook his car on Interstate 37 thirty years later.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/TexasHumanoidsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5n8jax4rFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Reports have been coming in for decades of hairy creatures in Texas something like a bipedal wolf, or maybe a Sasquatch. Other reports have the creature with no hair at all. Even stranger – whatever this creature, or creatures may be, it's not always on the ground that they are spotted, but in the sky as well. (Hairy Humanoids of Texas) *** In October of 1973, two fisherman reported seeing a space ship – and two extraterrestrials emerge from the craft when it hovered near the ground. Was this a true case of a close encounter of the third kind, or was something else going on? (Close Encounter in Pascagoula) *** 
The subject of Interview with a Serial Killer — streaming on Netflix now — speaks out in his own chilling words. We'll reveal the killer inside the thoughts of Arthur Shawcross. (Inside The Twisted Mind of Arthur Shawcross) *** The two most famous goat-like cryptids cause havoc in their respective American hometowns. We'll look at both the Maryland Goatman and the Pope Lick Monster. (Cloven-Hoff Cryptids) *** Weirdo family member Tyler shares some of the numerous odd things that happened at his house while growing up. It sounds like the woman who used to live there may have decided to return after death to continue her residence.

Hello listeners! Thank for joining me here at Sphere HQ for another episode of the podcast. My guest for this episode is Sian Sibley. Sian is a writer, witchcraft practitioner, and ecologist from Wales. She holds master's degrees in Biological Science and Ecology and Spirituality and has over thirty years of experience in plant spirit magic. Her writing explores the intersection of plant and tree spirit work, ecological philosophy, and magical practice. She joined me to talk about her book Black Paths and Green Cathedrals:  A Guide to Ecological Paganism, whose second edition was published earlier this year. In it, Sian writes about the damage human separation from nature has wrought on the planet in the Anthropocene age, and how practices such as animism and paganism offer both a way to improve that relationship but can present challenges in terms of sustainability and impact on local environments. The latter part of the book is focused on working with tree spirts, inspired by the work of the Welsh mystic Charubel. Sian's book can be purchased from Aeon Books and her Ecological Paganism Patreon can be found here.

Did the CIA arrange—or help promote—the marriage of an American citizen as part of a Cold War intelligence operation?In The CIA's Secret Marriage: The Strange Case of Angela Boyer & Petros Moutsos, Dr. Tim Mounce of All Things Unexplained follows a remarkable trail buried in declassified CIA records, FBI files, JFK assassination records, and forgotten newspaper archives.At the center of the story is Angela Boyer, a young American woman drawn into the Communist underground, and Petros Moutsos, the Greek sailor she fell in love with and married. But Petros had a secret Angela may never have known: he was providing intelligence to the CIA while operating inside the communist-linked Greek maritime organization OENO.Then comes the line in the CIA's own records that changes everything: Petros's marriage to Boyer “was promoted in order to improve his position in OENO.”What exactly does promoted mean?Did the CIA simply exploit a real relationship after it began—or did American intelligence actually help engineer a marriage involving an unsuspecting U.S. citizen?What follows is a Cold War mystery involving secret intelligence operations, FBI surveillance, Communism, Cuba, deportation, clandestine meetings, JFK-era intrigue, and a paper trail that ultimately leads into the JFK assassination records.After President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Angela appears again in the historical record. And then, almost as mysteriously as this story begins, the trail goes cold.Was Angela Boyer unknowingly living inside a CIA operation? And what ultimately happened to Angela and Petros Moutsos?This documentary examines what the surviving records actually say—and the disturbing questions they leave unanswered.

Hello listeners! This time I welcome back a returning guest, Jeremy Harte. Jeremy is an author and folklorist whose writing and research is inspired by landscape and stories of encounters with other worlds. His latest book is Treasures on Earth: Buried Wealth in Landscape and Legend. In it Jeremy examines the history and folklore in Britain of hidden treasure – stories not just of gold and silver, but of ghosts, curses and forbidden knowledge. In the interview I talk with Jeremy about the ideas behind the book and the interesting relationship between the folklore and storytelling of buried wealth and the written accounts of such discoveries. We also discuss the relationship magic and paranormal phenomenon have with the search for and finding of hidden valuables, and the social factors that have influenced the use of occult techniques in such endeavours.

Is That Really a Flying Saucer? Adam Kirsch on Why We Want to Believe in Aliens

Keen On Democracy

“We might have invented the aliens that we've been looking for.” — Adam Kirsch First he took on the transhumanists. Then the settler-colonialism fanatics. Now Adam Kirsch aims his critical pen at the ultimate crazies — the flying saucer crowd. In We Want to Believe, Kirsch explains how aliens went mainstream and why this once-crackpot conspiracy theory has become a mainstream political and cultural fact. The beauty (if that's the right word) of the subject, Kirsch argues, is that because UFOs don't really exist, the flying saucer rumor mill encapsulates the paranoia of our populist age. Ever since the 2017 New York Times exposé of the Pentagon's secret UFO program, it's an industry that has fed off both the crisis of traditional authority and the suspicion that the people in power know more than they're letting on. Elites, in other words, know nothing and everything. Simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). Underneath this silliness, Kirsch notes, is something more substantial. Perhaps religion itself. Where people once saw miracles or demons, they now see little green-headed creatures packed into flying saucers. In other words, they provide a vocabulary for experiences that we can't explain, as well as a community with which we can share that mystery. So what happens when the aliens finally show up? As I suggested, maybe these transcendental creatures arrived. We've built them ourselves in the form of artificial intelligence. Kirsch agreed, seeing AI as a kind of nonhuman mind that doesn't experience the world as we do. Such a Copernican moment is “very imaginable,” the sceptic concedes. Disclosure Day. Starring Adam Kirsch. Five Takeaways •       A Pure Thought Experiment. The trilogy's logic, completed: three short books on popular ideas, this one distinguished by the fact that its subject doesn't exist — which is precisely its value. UFOs, Kirsch argues, let us think “in a very sort of almost consequence-free way” about who decides what's real, whose authority we trust, and why people need to believe — the defining questions of a populist moment in which vaccines, public health, and yesterday's common sense are all contested. The hinge was 2017: the New York Times's “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money'” exposé revealed the Pentagon's AATIP program, and the paper of record saying the government knows more than it admits took UFOs from niche conspiracy to mainstream issue. Kirsch himself started paying attention — smoke that might lead to fire. “Unfortunately, in the years since then, no fire has been discovered.” What he learned instead: how easy it is to be misled, and what scientific evidence actually is.•       'Oumuamua's Wager. The book's treatment of past guest Avi Loeb is a study in the seduction of credentials: an astrophysicist of unimpeachable standing willing to entertain what colleagues won't — that the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua might have been a broken light sail from an alien probe — “kindles the imagination,” Kirsch's included. But the metal globs from the Pacific floor and the fresh candidates each year breed suspicion, and the standard remains Carl Sagan's: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Loeb's reply reworks Pascal — ‘Oumuamua's wager: believe, because the benefits of an open mind outweigh the cost of being wrong. Kirsch's honesty cuts through: “I would love to believe in UFOs.” Nothing would be more exciting. Which sharpens the genuine scientific conundrum — the space age promised a galaxy teeming with signals and delivered silence: “Why is Earth so important if it should be so unimportant? Where are all the other Earths?”•       The Archetype of Conspiracy. The disclosure paradigm is eighty years old, and it trained us all: the people in power know more than they're letting on, there are secret tapes and files, and the people deserve the truth — a template rehearsed on Roswell long before COVID or the Epstein files. Andrew's gloss: elites, in other words, know nothing and everything — simultaneously. Maybe, even, they're the aliens themselves (see: Invasion of the Body Snatchers). The official history runs from Truman's alarm at the early-fifties Washington flap (if the Soviets can reach our skies, we must know) through the commissions of Ruppelt, J. Allen Hynek, and Edward Condon — whose report closed the file for half a century — to the 2017 AATIP revelation that reopened it, complete with congressional hearings and annual Pentagon reporting requirements. Today's ledger: military pilots keep reporting lights that move impossibly; 95 percent get explained; the unexplained 5 percent “doesn't mean that they're UFOs — it just means there isn't enough information.” Even the vocabulary tells the story: “UFO,” coined in the fifties to sound neutral, absorbed the flying saucer and had to be replaced by “UAP.” Spielberg's Disclosure Day — fan service for believers, by Kirsch's account, and disappointing by Andrew's — monetizes the same secret-truth appeal that made Close Encounters.•       A Religious Impulse. Why do people believe? The scholar D. W. Pasulka's “book encounters” supply Kirsch's answer: someone has an experience they can't understand, reads the UFO literature, and says this is what happened to me — where a medieval villager would have named a miracle, a demon, or a god. Belief provides a vocabulary for the inexplicable and a community to interpret it with; Jacques Vallée, Silicon Valley's resident UFO intellectual, adds the perennialist claim that people have always seen strange things in the sky and that they mark “reality beyond our rational mind.” Science fiction serves the same hunger — Kirsch's own California childhood ran on The Next Generation and Asimov — a sandbox for questions religion once answered: what are humans for, why is mind so out of place in the universe? And the aliens we imagine are always mirrors: Wells's Darwinian indifference (we are their microbes), the Cold War's destroyers and moral guides, and now Musk's Mars — an insurance policy for mind itself against our own extinction. The catch that keeps UFOs at the intersection of science and belief: real aliens must obey physics, interstellar distances forbid the journey, so belief becomes “a big X” — faith that there's physics we haven't found. Even Sagan's Contact, Kirsch notes, resorts to a wormhole. Magic, scientifically dressed.•       The Aliens We Invented. The conversation's destination, via Andrew's suggestion that the aliens have arrived and we built them: “we might have invented the aliens that we've been looking for” — nonhuman minds, freed from biology, that don't experience the world as we do and may transcend or outlive us. What felt like science fiction when The Revolt Against Humanity appeared in 2023 now reads as near-future planning — and the AI lens even revises the search heuristic: perhaps advanced technology isn't skyscrapers in space but something chip-small, too compact to see. Pressed on whether a Copernican moment could leave skeptics — him and Andrew both — with egg on their faces, Kirsch concedes it's “very imaginable,” with the caveat that the loudest AGI claims come from those selling it.

What happened to Col. Marcellus H. Duffy's documents?While examining newly released National Archives audio and records from the U.S. Air Force's Roswell investigation, I uncovered a series of overlooked documents, omitted interview passages, and a mysterious 1994 FedEx package that raise new questions about one of the key figures behind the official Project Mogul explanation.In this historical documentary, we follow the paper trail from the 1947 Roswell incident through the Air Force's 1994–1997 investigations, including:• The Roswell Daily Record's famous "Flying Disc" headline• Project Mogul and Col. Marcellus H. Duffy's role• Newly released National Archives interview audio• Previously omitted portions of the Charles B. Moore interview• References to "Col. Duffy's letter"• Discussion of Duffy-related documents and FOIA• Emily Duffy's mysterious 1994 FedEx shipment to Lt. James McAndrew• The Roswell Report (1994)• The Roswell Report: Case Closed (1997)This documentary relies on primary-source documents, archival audio, and official U.S. Air Force records. Where the historical record establishes facts, they are presented as such. Where questions remain unanswered, they are identified as open historical questions.If you enjoy evidence-based investigations into Roswell, UFO history, UAP research, Project Mogul, government records, and newly discovered archival material, consider subscribing for more original investigations.

Bill Konkolesky has served as the State Director of the Michigan Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) since 2004. Following a lifetime of his own reported UFO sightings and alien abduction experiences, Bill has spent more than three decades investigating UFOs, experiencer accounts, and otherworldly phenomena. His personal journey has driven him to search for answers behind events that have challenged his understanding of reality and convinced him that the mysteries surrounding the UFO phenomenon may be far stranger than we realize.Bill is the author of the autobiographical books Experiencer: Raised in Two Worlds and Experiencer: Two Worlds Collide. His reported abduction experiences have been featured in Abduction Diaries, Abducted by Aliens: UFO Encounters of the 4th Kind, and ABC's UFOs: Seeing is Believing. He has also served as a consultant for programs including Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, History Channel's Hangar 1 and UFO Hunters, National Geographic's The Truth Behind, and Science Channel's Uncovering Aliens and Close Encounters. Bill brings a rare perspective to the UFO conversation—as both a longtime investigator and someone who says he has personally experienced the phenomenon.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

A year after the mysterious death of former NASA scientist Joshua LeBlanc, questions remain about the circumstances surrounding his final hours. In this episode, I recap the LeBlanc case from the beginning—and reveal a surprising new response to my public records request from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). Does it identify the lead investigative agency? And what does its reference to “law enforcement investigative material” tell us about the status of the case? The Joshua LeBlanc mystery may be far from settled.

My guests for this episode are Jamie Lewis and Andrew Bartlett. Jamie is a Reader in Sociology at the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University and Andrew is based at the School of Sociological Studies, Politics and International Relations at Sheffield University. They joined me to discuss their new book Bigfooters and Scientific Inquiry: On the Borderlands of Legitimate Science. The book examines the Bigfooting community sociologically. Using concepts from Science and Technology Studies (STS) as well as cultural sociology, Jamie and Andrew shed new light on what it is to do ‘science', what it is to behave ‘scientifically', and where the borders of legitimate scientific practice lie. Through detailed interviews with Bigfooters themselves, this book explores the ways in which the Bigfooting community makes sense of traces and absences to make knowledge claims that are acceptable to those within that community. It also shows how Bigfooters, in the face of scepticism, attempt to render Bigfoot a proper object of scientific inquiry outside of their own circle. In the interview I talk with Jamie and Andrew about how the idea for the book came about, after which we discuss the subject matter itself; the early history and legacy of bigfooting, the methods and techniques Bigfooters use to make knowledge claims, the challenges they face to legitimise their endeavours, and how they navigate and contextualise hoaxes. To find out more about Jamie and Andy, please visit their respective university website profile pages: Jamie: https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/lewisjt1 Andy: https://sheffield.ac.uk/spir/people/academic/andy-bartlett You can find out more about their book from the publisher, Routledge.

Steven Spielberg doesn't want you to know his aliens aren't real. That's the standard Matthew Butler had to hit on Disclosure Day: total photographic believability, zero tolerance for anything that reads as fantasy, even when the story is about a supposed decades-long government cover-up of extraterrestrial contact. Butler has been Spielberg's go-to VFX supervisor for grounded, "make it real" work since Ready Player One, and before that, he was Chris's first VFX supervisor ever, on The Day After Tomorrow. Back in Episode 557, Chris and Daniel broke down Disclosure Day as fans, tracing its DNA back through Close Encounters and Sugarland Express. This time they bring on the person who actually built it, for a conversation about matching digitally-replaced train sequences to real-world reference plates, a shot count that came in smaller than planned going in, and why the biggest emotional gut-punch in the movie has almost nothing to do with visual effects at all. Butler walks through how Spielberg directs VFX without ever really discussing VFX, and the two of them dig into what makes his process so different: a shot list that shrank instead of ballooning, something Butler says has never happened on any other project in his career, a director who wants to solve problems himself rather than have them solved for him, and a 30-year veteran realizing mid-conversation that the AI moment VFX is living through right now feels exactly like the unsolved chaos of the 1990s. A conversation about restraint, trust, and knowing when the effects work is actually done when nobody notices it.

R. Keith Andrews is an author, researcher, and lifelong experiencer who has devoted years to exploring the connection between humanity and extraterrestrial intelligence. Through his own personal contact experiences and extensive research into UFOs, consciousness, and non-human intelligence, Keith examines the possibility that ET contact is far more common—and far more transformative—than most people realize. His work encourages people to look beyond the traditional UFO narrative and consider the profound spiritual, psychological, and evolutionary implications of humanity's relationship with the cosmos.Drawing from firsthand experiences, interviews with fellow experiencers, and years of study, Keith explores subjects including ET communication, consciousness, multidimensional reality, alien encounters, and the growing movement toward UFO disclosure. He believes the phenomenon is not simply about unidentified craft in our skies, but about expanding human awareness and understanding our place in a much larger universe. Through his books, lectures, and media appearances, R. Keith Andrews continues to inspire audiences to question conventional thinking and explore the deeper mysteries surrounding the ET connection.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran are two of the most recognized voices in the study of UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, and the experiencer phenomenon. Preston, a prolific author with more than 30 books on UFOs and the paranormal, has spent decades documenting eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings, alien encounters, healings, and contact experiences. Dolly, an outspoken lifelong experiencer, shares her own extraordinary accounts of ongoing interactions with non-human intelligences, offering a firsthand perspective on ET communication, consciousness, and the evolving relationship between humanity and extraterrestrial visitors. Together, they explore the growing body of evidence suggesting that contact with non-human intelligence is far more widespread than many realize.As public interest in UFO disclosure continues to grow, Preston and Dolly examine the complex subjects of alien abduction, voluntary ET contact, government secrecy, and the changing global conversation surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Drawing from decades of research, interviews, and personal experience, they discuss the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of contact while exploring what official disclosure could mean for humanity's future.

Almost 50 years ago, Steven Spielberg directed “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the story of an average man who discovers that humanity may not be alone in the universe. Over the decades, Spielberg has directed several movies about what would happen if humanity made contact with aliens. Would the aliens be kind like the title character in “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial”? Would they be cruel like the murderous aliens of “War of the Worlds”? And regardless of what the aliens were like, would we humans be ready to receive them? Spielberg returns to the question of whether we're alone in the universe, and what it might mean if we're not, with his new film “Disclosure Day.” Today, he sits down with Rachel Abrams, a host of “The Daily,” to talk about the film, and about what he has learned over five decades of making movies about aliens.   On Today's Episode Steven Spielberg, director of “Disclosure Day.”   Background Reading ‘Disclosure Day' Review: Spielberg Plays His Greatest Cosmic Hits What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human   Photo credit: Paolo Pellegrin/Magnum, for The New York Times Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
