The first one was in 2018 When he witnessed a black triangle-like object while at a train station, then his second in 2022 where he witnessed bright lights while flying over the Grand Canyon.

A breakthrough drug gives two men access to a world where ordinary life appears frozen, turning a quiet seaside afternoon into something almost impossible to comprehend. But once they begin treating time itself like a playground, a dangerous problem emerges that neither of them anticipated. The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. H. G. Wells is best known for classics like The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man, but his shorter fiction often contains some of his most inventive ideas. Today's story asks a fascinating question: what would happen if a scientific discovery allowed you to experience hours while the rest of the world experienced only seconds? Published in the December 1901 issue of The Strand Magazine,  on page 622, The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A stranded explorer on Jupiter's frozen moon discovers that the greatest danger is not the brutal landscape but the choices made when desperation takes hold. When an alien race reveals powers far beyond human understanding, Hugh Betancourt must decide whether some discoveries are too valuable to bring home. Star Of Panadur by Albert De Pina and Henry Hasse.

Episode 152: Gaslamps and Ghostlights: The Victorian Sky Mysteries Uncover the hidden history of the 19th-century UFO craze! Long before Roswell and Area 51, the Victorian era was gripped by a series of baffling aerial phenomena. In Episode 152 of the Rocky Mountain UFO Podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating world of Gaslamps and Ghostlights: The Victorian Sky Mysteries. Based on the compelling research found in the book Gaslamps and Ghostlights, we explore a time when the skies were filled with more than just smog and soot. From shimmering metallic airships to inexplicable luminous shapes, we examine firsthand accounts from a diverse range of witnesses—including respected professors and hardworking farmers—who dared to report what they saw. In this episode, we discuss: The Great Airship Mystery: How credible Victorian citizens reported advanced craft decades before the Wright brothers took flight. Institutional Skepticism vs. Personal Truth: Why publications like Scientific American dismissed these sightings as mere "atmospheric tricks," and how that legacy of denial persists today. The Influence of Industrialization & Sci-Fi: Did the rapid rise of technology and the visionary works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells prime the public to see "the future" in the clouds? Trusting the Witness: A look at the clash between independent testimony and institutional control. Join us as we bridge the gap between Victorian wonder and modern UFO lore. Are these historical anomalies evidence of early extraterrestrial visitation, or a reflection of a world in the throes of radical change? Listen now to rediscover the "legacy of wonder" that started it all!

Despite holding vastly different worldviews, Chesterton maintained warm, civil friendships with contemporaries like George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells, and was admired by figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, who called him "a supreme genius" after a single dinner conversation.The interview also covers Chesterton's upbringing in a literary London household, his natural gift for language recognized early by teachers, and his rise from writing promotional copy at a publishing firm to becoming one of the most widely read and syndicated columnists of his era.                   NEXT WEEK:  Batjargal Tuvshintsengel of FEBC MongoliaSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 252Before the rockets of science fiction streaked across cinema screens… before alien invasions filled television… before time travel became a familiar idea in books and films… there was one man quietly imagining it all.H. G. Wells was not born into wealth or comfort. In fact, his early life was marked by illness, financial struggle, and a constant sense that the world was changing faster than anyone quite understood. But from those uncertain beginnings came a mind that would reshape how we think about the future.In the late nineteenth century, when the world was still lit by gas lamps and horse-drawn carts rattled through the streets, Wells began asking extraordinary questions. What if humans could travel through time? What if creatures from another planet came to Earth? What if science allowed humans to become invisible?These ideas might sound familiar today—but when Wells first imagined them, they were astonishingly new.Through stories that blended science, philosophy, and sharp social observation, he helped invent what we now call modern science fiction. Yet his work was never only about strange machines or distant planets. Beneath the adventures, Wells was asking deeper questions about humanity, power, and the fragile future of civilization.So before we step into the strange worlds he created… it's worth stepping back into the world that created him.This is the story of how a sickly boy from Victorian England became one of the most visionary writers who ever lived.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, OPEN BORDERS, AND ELITE DETACHMENT Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. The discussion turns to domestic turmoil, using H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds as a metaphor for the modern refugee crisis and the rejection of border enforcement by Western elites. Gaius argues that the recent election results served as a mandate to halt undocumented migration, questioning the logic of those who vilify ICE while romanticizing open borders as if invaders were victims. Germanicusidentifies this opposition as stemming from the "Equites" or ruling class, who profess a "universalism" that views all people as identical labor units while hypocritically insulating themselves in gated communities. He describes this elite mindset as a "fictive reality" akin to Marie Antoinette's detachment, where actual consequences are ignored in favor of a self-destructive, anti-nationalist "religion." The speakers contrast this elite "bubble," characterized by cognitive dissonance regarding the sources of their own wealth, with the harsh reality of global migration. They conclude that the ruling class's refusal to acknowledge cultural borders threatens the nation's cohesion, comparing the situation to the Martians in Wells' novel overwhelming the established order. NUMBER 2 1906 WAR OF THE WORLDS

THE DECLINE OF LITERACY AND CONTEXT Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley continues, discussing the decline of literacy and context since the mid-20th century, comparing modern society to the Eloi and Morlocks of H.G. Wells. NUMBER 11 1959

The full-length, unabridged audiobook narrated by Weird Darkness host, Darren Marlar. | No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that intelligent life beyond Earth was watching us. Studying us. Envying us. When massive cylinders fell from the sky and buried themselves in the English countryside, curious crowds gathered to witness what they thought was a meteorite. But when those cylinders unscrewed from within, what emerged would shatter humanity's place at the top of the evolutionary ladder. Towering tripods. Heat rays that incinerated everything in their path. And an enemy more advanced, more ruthless, and more alien than anyone could have imagined. H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" – the story that invented the alien invasion. This is the complete, unabridged audiobook that asks one terrifying question: What happens when humanity becomes the hunted?CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANS:00:00:00.000 = (I) The Eve of the War00:14:16.405 = (II) The Falling Star00:22:00.836 = (III) On Horsell Common00:27:45.677 = (IV) The Cylinder Opens00:34:17.623 = (V) The Heat-Ray00:42:57.421 = (VI) The Heat-Ray In The Chobham Road00:47:48.714 = (VII) How I Reached Home00:55:46.271 = (VIII) Friday Night01:01:29.924 = (IX) The Fighting Begins01:12:31.580 = (X) In The Storm01:24:39.457 = (XI) At The Window01:36:56.366 = (XII) What I Saw of the Destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton01:58:51.158 = (XIII) How I Fell In With The Curate02:10:01.190 = (XIV) In London02:31:21.494 = (XV) What Had Happened In Surrey02:48:02.610 = (XVI) The Exodus From London03:12:02.239 = (XVII) The “Thunder Child”BOOK TWO: THE EARTH UNDER THE MARTIANS03:31:49.519 = (I) Under Foot03:47:18.026 = (II) What We Saw From The Ruined House04:07:38.626 = (III) The Days of Imprisonment04:19:10.254 = (IV) The Death of the Curate04:28:53.956 = (V) The Stillness04:34:49.349 = (VI) The Work of Fifteen Days04:42:30.209 = (VII) The Man on Putney Hill05:16:03.135 = (VIII) Dead London05:34:44.711 = (IX) Wreckage05:45:53.821 = (X) Epilogue====="I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46= = = = =WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
