Podcasts about Mirage Men

Hey buds! This week my guest is Bradley Plaisier! Bradley is a true head, and an extremely knowledgeable cat on UFO history, and a lover of gnomes. We get into some of his UFO experiences, the preservation of rare documents, weird Michigan and much more. Bradley was kind of enough to provide some show notes, and links to some of the subjects we cover. What a nice guy! I loved chatting with him so much - he's a kindred spirit. Enjoy, friends!Love, SteveHere's all of the Marcello Truzzi material I've scanned so far. (Any additional Truzzi stuff I scan will be added to this folder. )Truzzi's excellent essay in The Fringes of Reason, “Skeptics and Pseudo-skeptics”. I mentioned that Passport To Magonia was a very formative book for me.

Recently, an alarming article published in the Wall Street Journal titled "The Pentagon Disinformation That Fueled America's UFO Mythology" revealed that the “U.S. military fabricated evidence of alien technology and allowed rumors to fester to cover up real secret-weapons programs.” This is reminiscent of disinformation campaigns discussed in Mark Pilkington's book "Mirage Men." The book eventually became a documentary about the dark relationship between the military and earnest UFO investigators. It is true that sometimes the military can play people as suckers and that they count on useful idiots to spread disinformation at UFO gatherings. Tonight on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis and former USAF Counterintelligence officer, Walter Bosley, starting at 7 pm, Pacific on groundzeroplus.com.

Mirage Men author Mark Pilkington joins us to explore his book and some of the real life characters and situations that have shaped the mythos of ufology. Mark is also a crop circle maker, so we go down that road as well. This one is as straightforwardly sane as it is weird and fascinating! But first... Jeff tells of two days he'll not soon forget. Namely, the last two. His story is not paranormal but it is absolutely hysterical and, trust us, that will be enough. (originally aired 08.18.2011)  

[originally published on Patreon Jun 13, 2022] Today I'm joined by Alex Tsakiris (@skeptiko) of Skeptiko for a wide-ranging discussion on a number of topics of mutual interest, including running a podcast and getting to talk to people, science, consciousness, MKULTRA, gifted kids, Whitley Strieber, Epstein, transhumanism, Mirage Men, and so forth. It was very fun. Links: https://skeptiko.com/ Song: Satan is Real by the Louvin Brothers

Holy smokes, Mark Pilkington is my guest this week! Like many folks interested in UFOs, his wildly important book Mirage Men was a paradigm shifter for me,  so this was a biggie for the Hi, Strangeness Pod. Obviously, we discuss Mirage Men (how could you not?), but we also get into his incredible publishing company Strange Attractor, his music, Strange Attractor Press's Austin Osmond Spare Tarot Deck, and other assorted angular goodness. I can't recommend visiting the Strange Attractor Press's website enough to peruse all the wonderful offerings. Oh, and one more thing..please do check his music (links below). I love it so much!  I hope you all enjoy this interview as much as I did!

VYS0038 | Fuck Capitalism! - Vayse to Face with Rob Kristoffersen - Show Notes Unable to put off dedicating an episode to the UFO mystery any longer, Hine and Buckley welcome researcher, podcaster and writer Rob Kristoffersen. Rob is the creator and host of the incredibly popular podcast Our Strange Skies: UFOs Throughout History, co-creator of the web-comic Welcome UFO People and expert on all things extra-terrestrial, ultra-terrestrial, crypto-terrestrial and any other form in which the phenomenon may choose to manifest. Rob talks about his own weird experiences and Hine and Buckley waste no time in asking him the questions that keep them awake at night: What exactly is it that people are seeing when they see UFOs? Are UFO and alien encounters a range of different experiences and phenomena or are they all the same thing viewed through different lenses? What's the deal with Whitley Strieber and what the deal with Jacques Vallée? Is there a connection between UFOs and death? What's really behind the whole Disclosure movement? Which Cryptid has the best PR person? and what does Rob really think about capitalism...?

VYS0030 | To Believe or Not to Believe - Vayse to Face with Emily Louise - Show Notes Possibly the weirdest thing that Vayse could do at this point is to interview someone who doesn't believe in any of this phenomena at all, someone whose no-nonsense approach to searching for the actual facts behind well-known events in fringe history and UFOlogy has earned her Youtube channel tens of thousands of subscribers - it's British documentary maker and researcher Emily Louise. Hine and Buckley find an unexpected amount of common ground with Emily as they discuss her journey from wide-eyed belief to pragmatic scepticism, what it is that makes human beings sometimes believe ideas that are provably untrue, which famous conspiracy theories Emily thinks probably do have truth to them and Vayse finally tackles (with the help of a hardened sceptic) the recent David Grusch revelations... (Recorded 17 August 2023) Thanks to Emily for putting up with our weird shit and thanks as always to Keith for the show notes.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile experiences the 2013 documentary 'Mirage Men' for the first time with Kyle revisiting it alongside him. Directed by John Lundberg and written by Mark Pilkington (author of the book by the same name), Mirage Men explores the mythology of UFOs in America, focusing on the relationship this mythology has to a man named Richard Doty. We talk UFO disinformation, government distrust, the grand UFO conspiracy, and much more!

The documentary Mirage Men detailed how US intelligence officials and the United States military have conducted counterintelligence operations against private citizens, attempting to convince them that UFOs, and by default, aliens, are visiting earth. Many of the classic UFO narratives, from underground bases, to aliens visiting earth for resources and even making deals with select humans, are all part of the official disinformation campaign. There are countless books, films, and whistleblowers, who continue to promote the same stories, passing them on from the second and third and fourth hand accounts to future generations. Whether the intelligence community and military seek to disinform and misinform to keep the public and foreign governments unaware of secret projects, or for some other reason, we must extremely careful what we believe. This is especially true when we consider that belief is nothing more than faith, which is nothing more than dogma. Still, there is something behind the phenomena that may not be human. Or, such things could be superhuman. Poltergeists are often thought to relate to times of adolescence, and particularly to females, in the sense that changing emotions cause outbursts of psychic energy. Anger, sexual desire, etc., are powerful energies to contend with, and are documented to interfere with electronics. The same can be said about the UFO's apparent interest in war and nuclear weapons. War is a time of intense stress and so perhaps that stress works to manifests these things, just as atomic weapons tamper with the very subatomic nature of reality and therefore may encourage inter dimensional incursions.

SideVayse: SVYS003 | Anglezarke - Show Notes In VYS0018, Hine and Buckley interviewed author and researcher Kathryn J Preston about her book, the 'LaManChe Zodiac" in which she described a terrestrial zodiac spanning three counties in the north of England. At the heart of this zodiac is Round Loaf, a man-made Neolithic mound constructed millennia ago on the stark moorlands of Anglezarke. According to Kathryn Preston's book, Ley Lines radiate from the mound into the surrounding country and Anglezarke has become a hot spot for UFOs, sightings of cryptids and other high strangeness.

VYS0020 | Messages of Deception - Vayse to Face with Mark Pilkington - Show Notes If you don't know Mark Pilkington by name, chances are you will be familiar with some of his work: he's the author of the seminal history of deception and misinformation throughout the history of the UFO phenomenon, Mirage Men, and producer of the documentary of the same name, he runs Strange Attractor Press, the diverse, beloved and well respected counterculture publisher, he's a journalist, having written for the Fortean Times, the Guardian and Bizarre Magazine amongst others, and he also records and performs music with Teleplamsiste, Luminous Foundation and the Begotten. In this episode Hine and Buckley chat to Mark about the legacy of Mirage Men, which is having a moment again with the tenth anniversary of the documentary falling this year, the recent release of the audiobook and continued favourable nods in the occultosphere and beyond. The conversation also takes turns into the way misinformation is now a pervasive part of our everyday lives, Mark's ideas about the nature of the phenomenon itself and his experiences as a crop circle hoaxer... recorded 7 March 2023 Mark Pilkington Links Mark Pilkington on Twitter (https://twitter.com/markopilkington?s=21&t=q2-c9hjD5sIXynDdaJB8PQ) Strange Attractor Press (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/) Mirage Men (https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/mirage-men-a-journey-into-disinformation-paranoia-and-ufos-mark-pilkington/2148784?ean=9781845298579) by Mark Pilkington Mirage Men Audiobook (https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Mirage-Men-Audiobook/1405549556?ipRedirectOverride=true&overrideBaseCountry=true&bp_o=true&source_code=M2M30DFT1Bk13010142102TD&gclid=CjwKCAjw0ZiiBhBKEiwA4PT9z66tMeWzeo6Ssu-yqAzST0IYPMPRoZlsodiZxbkIIX60WGah3c4xgBoCkq8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) Mirage Men DVD (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/mirage-men-dvd/) Mirage Men on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/ondemand/miragemen) Mirage Men Blog (https://miragemen.wordpress.com/) Frequency is the New Ecstasy (https://teleplasmiste.bandcamp.com/album/frequency-is-the-new-ecstasy) by Teleplasmiste (https://teleplasmiste.bandcamp.com/album/science-religion) Other Links The Austin Osman Spare Tarot Deck (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/strangeattractoruk/austin-osman-spare-occult-tarot-deck-and-book) High Weirdness (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/high-weirdness/) by Erik Davis Purgatory (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/purgatory/) by Ken Hollings North (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/north/) by Gyrus The Pepsi-Cola Addict (http://strangeattractor.co.uk/shoppe/the-pepsi-cola-addict/) by June-Alison Gibbons David Tibet (https://www.davidtibet.com/) Current 93 (https://current931.bandcamp.com/) Jamie Sutcliffe (https://linktr.ee/jamierobertsutcliffe) An Overview of Project Serpo (https://nostradamus.fandom.com/wiki/Project_Serpo) The Haunted Objects Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU4VP9oB7c9iKhby8HdRbwP0dF8O9eGt2) Parcast Unexplained Mysteries - UFOs and the Mirage Men pt.1 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4heJWlPvOMTzGFKTyd2YGv?si=3f67b2e0848e48bf) Parcast Unexplained Mysteries - UFOs and the Mirage Men pt.2 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3J3QTUh16JBmu0AWaFpOuy?si=093bcf5cc85e4a2c) HyperNormalisation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thLgkQBFTPw) by Adam Curtis Wikipedia entry for John Lundberg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lundberg) Laughlin UFO Mega Conference (https://www.facebook.com/events/141005227976051/) on Facebook IMDB entry for Richard Doty (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3288913/) Wikipedia entry for Paul Bennewitz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bennewitz) Wikipedia Entry for the Roswell Incident (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_incident) Wikipedia Entry for George Adamski (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Adamski) BBC News Article about the U-2 Bomber and Area 51 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23731759) History Channel Article on Black Triangle UFOs (https://www.history.com/news/black-triangle-ufos-facts) Wikipedia Article on Radar Spoofing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_jamming_and_deception) Popular Science Article - The stealth helicopters used in the 2011 raid on Osama Bin Laden are still cloaked in mystery (https://www.popsci.com/story/technology/osama-bin-laden-raid-anniversary-stealth-helicopters/) Wikipedia Article on Cattle Mutilation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_mutilation) Close Encounters of the Third Kind Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSpQ3G08k48) Wikipedia Article on the Famous Five (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Famous_Five) War of the Worlds (https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-war-of-the-worlds-h-g-wells/92913?ean=9780008590178)by HG Wells Dracula (https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/dracula-bram-stoker/169855?ean=9780393871555) by Bram Stoker Usborne Guide to the Supernatural World (https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780860202929/Supernatural-World-Mysterious-Powers-Strange-0860202925/plp)by E Maple - a steal at £300 Forbidden Planet (https://forbiddenplanet.com/) Fortean Times (https://subscribe.forteantimes.com/) Magonia Journal (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/magonia-journal) Bizarre Magazine on Twitter (https://twitter.com/bizarremagazine?lang=en) Mark's Far Out Column for the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/science/series/farout) Wikipedia entry on Norman Tebbit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Tebbit) Wikipedia entry on David Icke (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke) Circle Makers Website (http://www.circlemakers.org/) Wikipedia entry on Mandelbrot Fractals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set) Wikipedia Article on Discordianism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism#:~:text=Discordianism%20is%20centered%20on%20the,objectively%20true%20than%20the%20other.)

If extraterrestrials asked you to run for president, would you? Gabriel Green answered the call, and became the world's first presidential candidate to campaign on a platform of UFO disclosure... in 1960. In this episode, we shed light on Gabe Green's long forgotten political career, Connor explains how aliens control the CIA, Dana wonders why aliens are so sexy, and Greg reveals that men from outer space aren't always who they seem. Gas up your moon pods and pack a roast beef sandwich, because we're going on an adventure through disinformation, disclosure, and democracy!Join the Museum: https://patreon.com/paramuseumVisit Our Website: https://hauntedobjectspodcast.comSubscribe on YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/25xf92nxFollow Greg NewkirkTwitter: https://twitter.com/nuekerkInstagram: https://instagram.com/nuekerkWebsite: https://gregorynewkirk.comFollow Dana NewkirkTwitter: https://twitter.com/weird_danaInstagram: https://instagram.com/weird_danaFollow Connor J.

When Paul Bennewitz believed he had proof that alien spacecraft were buzzing military bases in New Mexico, he went straight to the air force. Unfortunately, they sent him an agent of disinformation, officer Rick Doty. Bennewitz' life and career would be derailed as he became obsessed with a fake alien invasion, invented by Doty and the intelligence community to conceal their research programs and ferret out Soviet agents. This story from the 1980s raises questions about who we can trust in our search for answers about UFOs. At the end of the episode, Dane reports that mirage man, Rick Doty, is still active in the American UFO community. From working as a consultant for the X-files, to appearing in a recent Showtime documentary, Doty continues to sing variations on the same incredible theme of crashed saucers and UFO retrieval programs.

Your hosts Dr. Dean Bertram and Jason McLean return to the audio-visual wing of the Mysterious Library to consider one of the most important UFO documentaries ever produced: MIRAGE MEN (by filmmakers John Lundberg, Mark Pilkington, Roland Denning, and Kypros Kyprianou).The film looks at the history of UFO disinfo and psyops, spun by various intelligence agencies. It focusses in on ex-AFOSI agent Richard Doty's involvement in the "Bennewitz Affair", his interactions with journalist Linda Moulton Howe and Ufologist/intelligence asset/Roswell popularizer William Moore, along with accusations regarding Doty's involvement with the MJ-12 Documents and the Project Serpo story.

Yo would you smoke loud and have sex with an alien? DTF investigates. We also eventually talk about the UFO conspiracy documentary Mirage Men. Basically the government made up aliens as another way to psychologically torture us. Swag!

Episode 153 - UFO Researcher & author Ryan Sprague! This episode was an absolute blast!  I find the topic of UFOs & aliens absolutely fascinating, and we hit all the big cases plus some of the more obscure stuff.  Ryan has a book titled "Somewhere in the Skies" that is a collection of eyewitness accounts of UFOs and aliens.  He also has a podcast of the same name that goes in to greater detail.  Ryan has also appeared on two episodes of "Mysteries Decoded" and some other TV shows discussing various incidents.  In this episode we'll discuss Roswell, Area 51, alien abduction, Skin Walker Ranch, the Tic Tac Video, Bob Lazar and several other infamous cases.  Plus we discuss  other angles such as disinformation, government's role, religion and so much more! You won't want to  this episode!!!

In early July 1947, something crashed at a ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico—fast-forward 74 years later, and this single event has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, TV shows, and the inspiration for several movies; all the while the answer to this mystery continues to remain elusive. Was it a UFO from another planet? A Top Secret military project? Or something else entirely? Our guest tonight is Walter Bosley, author of the book "Shimmering Light: Lost In An MKULTRA House of Anu." Walter is a popular conspiracy author, researcher, and ex-Special Agent of various government-related organizations. He spent 19-years in national security, having been employed by the FBI, and the US Air Force where he also served as a Special Agent of the AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations). He also worked as a counterterrorism operational consultant for six years following his military service. Walter has also made a couple of screen appearances, namely in the 2013 documentary, "Mirage Men", and on History Channel's "Ancient Aliens." We interviewed Walter on the topics covered in his book "Shimmering Light": Project Paperclip, mysterious Nazi technology, the Roswell Incident, and a lost race that went underground after a cataclysm event on Earth. We'll also take a look at how MKULTRA projects, and the infamous, genius rocket scientist (and occultist) Jack Parsons, fit into this web of mystery. We'll also be introduced to Walter's Father, Charles Bosley, who (while serving in the USAF) said to have participated in a recovery/rescue mission in another Roswell-type event that occurred underground near Winslow, Arizona in 1958, and where Charles encounter a civilization that went into hiding wanting nothing to do with us.

Mirage Men - Perception Management Productions - John Lundberg http://miragemen.com/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2254010/ How the US government created a myth that took over the world. ET visitors... crashed UFOs... back-engineered alien technology... the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it... These are the core elements of the modern UFO mythology, a story that has captivated farmers, princes and generals for generations, and shows no sign of loosening its grip on the popular imagination. But what if, instead of covering up the UFO story, elements in the US military had actively encouraged it as part of their Cold War counterintelligence arsenal - manufacturing the myth of the UFO as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for all manner of clandestine technologies and operations. Now, for the first time, some of those whose actions have directly shaped the UFO mythology, and some of their victims, tell their stories, revealing a surreal disturbing and sometimes tragic sequence of events that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Mirage Men draws viewers into a saucer-shaped hall of mirrors, a shadow-world where every lie contains elements of the truth, and the truth is far stranger than the UFO believers, or their detractors, would have you believe.

In the late '70s, the Men in Black shifted strategies from intimidation to disinformation. They traded black suits for polo shirts and became known as Mirage Men, becoming even more dangerous than their predecessors.

The Men in Black may be more than a Hollywood film franchise… Reports of mysterious government agents silencing witnesses of alien activity on Earth date back to the '40s. To this day, nobody knows what the agents’ real intentions were—or if they were even human.

Today we give our final thoughts and review of the documentary "Mirage Men". How far is too far to keep a secret a secret? How many lives must be destroyed to keep a project classified? Are those families well being worth protecting "national security" secrets? We discuss that and more on episode 26 of the unidentified celebrity review.

This is part 3 of my review of "Mirage Men" the 2014 documentary that explores a government disinformation campaign against private citizens (with a belief in UFO's) to spread rumors of crashed alien vehicles, secret underground air force bases, and brutal mutilations on livestock at the expense of local ranchers. Did the Air Force launch a dual campaign that measures radiation levels from past nuclear test on local livestock, while also testing a new prototype aircraft with the capability of flying in silence and picking 600 pound cows with ease? Tune in to find out on this week episode of the Unidentified Celebrity Review.

BONUS Episode - Well, it finally happened.  The U.S. government via the Pentagon declassified and released 3 videos of "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" or U.F.O.s.  The videos have previously been seen and talked about, most recently in the New York Times, but the government had been silent until now.  This should have been a bigger deal, but it seems like barely anyone batted an eye.  We talk all about our thoughts on this and also talk a little about the 2014 documentary Mirage Men which focuses on disinformation and the government's involvement in the U.F.O. community.  We hope wherever you are you are healthy and safe.   Episode Links: Watch this episode uncut on YouTube:https://youtu.be/-8TwR9muZSY Mirage Men (2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srtrRbt77AE Mirage Men by Mark Pilkington:  https://amzn.to/2Yikp9w   Please check out: https://www.tarotbymonique.com https://www.alexarionfitness.com   Visit our website, sign up and participate in our forum discussions (it’s free!) at https://www.homewreckerpodcast.com Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/homewreckerpod See us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/homewreckerpodcast Watch us on Youtube https://youtu.be/XMx9YTbsmi8   Thanks for listening!  Help spread the word about the Homewrecker Podcast by subscribing (it's free!) and leaving a 5-star rating on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.  We really appreciate your support!

Kick back, light some incense, and prepare for a juicy conversation about where we stand in the Cosmic Order and what to do with all of our creative possibility…covering everything from universal basic income to celebrity schadenfruede, visionary art and science fiction to to the psychological impact of trying to stay original in the midst of a tech singularity.

Dreem2Reality Entertainment presents the Think Tank Podcast. On today's show: Ryan welcomes Dave in studio for a discussion about a documentary film called Mirage Men, which is about how the U.S. government created a myth that took over the world. ET visitors, crashed UFOs, back-engineered alien technology, the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it. These are the core elements of the modern UFO mythology, a story that has captivated farmers, princes and generals for generations, and shows no sign of loosening its grip on the popular imagination. But what if, instead of covering up the UFO story, elements in the U.S. military had actively encouraged it as part of their Cold War counterintelligence arsenal - manufacturing the myth of the UFO as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for all manner of clandestine technologies and operations. Now, for the first time, disinfo agent Richard Doty discusses how his actions have directly shaped the UFO mythology, and some of his victims tell their stories, revealing a surreal disturbing and sometimes tragic sequence of events that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Mirage Men draws viewers into a saucer-shaped hall of mirrors, a shadow-world where every lie contains elements of the truth, and the truth is far stranger than the UFO believers, or their detractors, would have you believe.

Last Sunday, we had the pleasure of interviewing Walter Bosley, popular conspiracy author, meticulous researcher, and ex-Special Agent of various government-related organizations. He is an avid investigator of historical occult mysteries, known to weave his research knowledge and past experiences into screenplays, and has himself made a couple of screen appearances, namely in the 2013 documentary, "Mirage Men", and on History Channel's "Ancient Aliens." During this interview, we predominantly focus on his book, ORIGIN: The Nineteenth Century Emergence of the 20th Century Breakaway Civilizations, which makes an extremely thorough and strong argument for the origins of flight being rather different, and definitely older, than current history books would have it. The amount of thought and research that has gone into this book is palpable through every turn of the page. According to Bosley, the power of flight had likely already been harnessed by the first half of the 19th Century, with research and construction of airships going on in California (at the Sonora Aero Club), funded and overseen primarily by a secret German (technically Prussian) organisation by the name of NJMZa (transliterated as “NYMZA”). Some of the most startling and fascinating evidence in support of these ideas is to be found in the form of a collection of diagrams/drawing by Charles A.A. Dellschau, some of which can be seen in Bosley’s book, but can also easily be viewed online, as well as occasionally found at art exhibitions. So, who really were NJMZa/NYMZA, what does it stand for, and what where did their motivations lie? How did these airships even function? Can we really trust the authenticity of the Dellschau diagrams? What is the connection between NJMZa/NYMZA, and the later Nazi Germany? As for breakaway civilisations, what are they, and where do they come into play? Also, perhaps more importantly, where did the knowledge to create airships come from? Are aliens tied into this story in anyway?

Once again, I illustrate how I practice what I preach. I pick apart a bad habit that occurs far too often, and struggle to correct it throughout the entire podcast. I then explain where I stand in my struggle between apple & google. And in the last personal piece of the podcast, I explain that due to my experiences with crowdfunding sites/services, I will no longer be utilizing any of these funding mediums. In the news I talk about a new Tile device, the end of the best TV show on air, Halt & Catch Fire, and Amazon’s music streaming service. To finish out the podcast, I discuss Mirage Men, a documentary focussing around the disinformation campaign waged against Paul Bennewitz and the entire UFOlogy community. I talk about a band I just discovered called Oathbreaker, and share my thoughts on their new album. And the I talk about why I bought a new windows computer, and what the first game I played on it was.

If it's paranormal, Micah Hanks is covering it on his various blogs and his radio show, The Gralien Report. So you'll hear about his fundamental philosophy not just on UFOs, but about hauntings and the like. He'll also cover the latest scuttlebutt in the UFO field, such as the renewed MJ-12 debate with Stanton Friedman and Robert Hastings (with Stanton in for, Robert against), Mirage Men, sightings, disclosure, and lots more. We are joined by one of our friendly forum moderators and guest co-host, Goggs Mackay.

Mark Pilkington is the writer and Roland Denning is the co-director to a new documentary on UFO disinformation called Mirage Men. Much of the movie includes interviews with ex-Air Force Office of Special Investigation Agent Richard Doty. Doty says he was part of an elaborate program to disseminate disinformation to Ufologists throughout the 80s. He continues to claim he has official knowledge of the Air Force’s UFO and extraterrestrial secrets. We talk about Doty’s claims, the circumstance surrounding his disinformation, and the UFO mythology which has its roots in Doty’s disinformation and hoaxing campaign. You can watch the documentary here, and read more about it at www.MirageMen.com.

Mirage Men author Mark Pilkington joins us to explore his book and some of the real life characters and situations that have shaped the mythos of ufology. Mark is also a crop circle maker, so we go down that road as well. This one is as straightforwardly sane as it is weird and fascinating! But first... Jeff tells of two days he'll not soon forget. Namely, the last two. His story is not paranormal but it is hysterical and trust us, that will be enough.
