On this edition of Parallax Views, David Metcalfe, Santa Muerte researcher and Editor-in-Chief of Threshold: Journal of Interdisciplinary Consciousness Studies, joins us for a long, jam-packed discussion of the Morbid Anatomy online course he is teaching with Dr. Diana Pasulka entitled "Your Waking Nightmare: Exploring the UFO Through the Lens of Horror and Techno-Realism". The course will take a media studies approach that delves into understanding the phenomena of Unidentified Flying Object, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, by way of the themes explored in the horror genre. It will also feature guest speakers Amanda M. Radcliffe, the occult and ritual witchcraft advisor for the Nicolas Cage-starring H.P. Lovecraft movie The Color Out of Space, and Whitley Streiber, the world's most famous claimed alien abductee and a former horror author whose novels like The Hunger and Wolfen set him up to be a successor for Stephen King before he became famous in regards to the UFO/alien abduction subject. This isn't necessarily a conversation about believing  in the UFO phenomena or being skeptical of it, but rather what the horror genre can say about people who claim to have "paranormal" experiences and perhaps even what these experiencers can say about themes touched upon in horror that relate to philosophical and social issues. Among the topics discussed in the course of this conversation: - Whitley Streiber and his career as a horror author; his alien abduction memoir Communion (originally set to be titled, interestingly enough, Body Horror) and it's dealing with subject like the Self vs. the Other (and bridging the gap between the two); filmmaker Phillipe Mora's movie adaptation of Communion; Whitley Streiber and psychological/physical trauma; Whitley Streiber's relationship with William S. Burroughs - UFO researcher Jacques Vallee and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Valle served as the basis for the Francois Truffaut character in Close Encounters of the Third Kind; creatives who don't necessarily believe in the UFO phenomena taking an interest in the subject - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as it was released) and it's invocation of astrology ("Saturn in Retrograde) that arguably adds a cosmic horror element to the story - The horror genre and catharsis; David's college horror binge that included a diet of Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento, and movies like Wes Craven's Last House on the Left (and why David pulled back on watching those movies before returning to them for the course) - Lucio Fulci's The Beyond, Don Coscarelli's Phantasm, and hell/other dimensions depicted in film; horror movies and ritual experience; Kenneth Anger's perspective on cinema - The art of the jump scare; the visceral nature of the horror genre; the intersection between horror and comedy - The Travis Walton alien abduction case and the movie depiction of it in the police-procedural-turned-full-on-horror-in-the-third-act Fire in the Sky; the depiction of alien abductions in cinema; intentional artificiality and theatricality in Phillipe Mora's Communion starring Christopher Walken as Whitley Streiber; Communion vs. Fire in the Sky and the ways in which Communion portrays the alien abduction experience in a stranger, harder-to-grasp way - Lovecraft, the encounter with the unknown in horror, and the inability to adequately express/fully comprehend alleged anomalous experiences - Clive Barker's 1987 cult classics Hellraiser, reframing the concept of the alien/extraterrestrial, and interdimensional beings; Alien amorality in Hellraiser; Cliver Barker's Cabal (later made into the movie Nightbreed) and sympathy for the Other; exploration of the anomalous rather than belief in the anomalous; the occult-tinged industrial music project Coil, led by Jhonn Balance and Peter Christopherson, and Hellraiser; Hellraiser, the BDSM underground, and the Barker's The Hellbound Heart as a dark fairytale/dark romance exploring what loves means and is - The dark portrayal of psychology in Nightbreed, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors  - The late psychiatrist Dr. John E. Mack, professor and the head of the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and his perspective on alien abductions; Mack's desire to understand the alien abduction through, among other things, Eastern spirituality; how John Mack's approach to alien abduction differs from other alien abduction believers such as Budd Hopkins or David Jacobs; how alien abductions and how they are understood in popular culture are forced in a a specific narrative to the preclusion of all else - Different cultural perspectives on UFOs: Christian evangelical and charismatic Christianity narratives about UFOs; Islam and exorcisms; Muslims who believe UFOs can be warded off by the Koran; the use of exorcism in the Santa Muerte tradition; occult rocket scientist Jack Parson, occultist Aleister Crowley, Parsons' love Marjorie Cameron's UFO experience (interestingly, Cameron appeared in a Kenneth Anger movie), and the Aeon of Horus - Albert K. Bender, the first notable case of someone who claims to have had Men in Black encounters, and his interest in the horror genre and pop occultism - Demonic possession narratives; The Exorcist; charismatic Christians and Pentecostals in relation to exorcisms; grocery store grimoires and ritual magick's connection to the tradition of exorcism; exorcism in various religions; Catholicism and exorcism; the mediation of these topics in popular culture - The concept of techno-realism; virtual worlds and virtual reality; David Cronenberg's eXistenz and the UFO experience; hallucination and reality in Nightmare on Elm Street 3; the real life inspiration for A Nightmare on Elm Street and parallels to the alien abduction experience - Revulsion to the extraordinary and anomalous as well as longing for the extraordinary and anomalous in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and Hellraiser - The media and anomalous experiences - The Natalie Portman-starring adaptation of Jeff Vander Meer's weird fiction tale Annihilation; The Color Out of Space and the desire for experiences beyond the normal comprehension of existence; transcendental experience in The Color Out of Space; horror and union in The Color Out of Space; the ultimate other as both beautiful and horrifying; the Necronomicon and ritual magick - Techno-realism and John Carpenter's They Live; parallels between They Live and Robert Anton Wilson's fnords in The Illuminatus Trilogy - Tobe Hooper's Invaders from Mars remake; paranoia and fear in the films of Tobe Hooper; Tobe Hooper's Stephen King adaptation Salem's Lot and it's parallels to Invasion of the Body Snatcher and it's marketing as a vampire story; the character of Mr. Barlow in Salem's Lot; Tobe Hooper's apocalyptic alien vampire movie Lifeforce - Druids, ritual witchcraft, synchronicity, and apocalypticism in Halloween III: Season of the Witch; the weirdness of John Carpenter's religious-apocalypse-meets-quantum-physics-meets-time-travelers-meets-aliens movie Prince of Darkness; Prince of Darkness's "broadcasts" which act as premonitions transmitted through the characters dreams - The British horror anthology The House That Dripped Blood and why it will be taught in the course; Jacques Tourneur's Curse of the Demon and expectations around anomalous experiences - Horror and philosophy; Eugene Thacker's In the Dust of This Planet; the late cultural theorist Mark Fisher and the eerie - And more!

Writer-director Jordan Peele followed up his genre-bending breakout hit Get Out with Us, a straightforward horror film. For his third outing, Peele returned to the mash-up: this time mixing neo-Western with a Close Encounters of the Third Kind (and a bit of Jaws thrown in, but we'll get to that.) Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer star as siblings who inherit one of Hollywood's oldest working horse ranches, only to find out that some else has made their range its home. In a week when the country has been beset by unidentified flying objects - purported to be Chinese balloons - we're each keeping one nervous eye on the sky while we watch this week's movie. Because we know it's not what moves through the sky you have to worry about… it's what stays still… NOPE!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

I'm back in the USA after a brief stay in London. In this episode, I'll be in Montana and Yellowstone National Park – where I get up close with a bunch of buffalos and a big bear.  I met Stefan Cattarin of Visit Billings and asked him to say a few words about Billings.  “We are the largest city in the state, we serve about a 500-mile radius as the largest economic hub. We're a railroad town founded in 1882, and part of that American expansion era, but we've since become a progressive cradle in this region.” It's not the typical big American city with skyscrapers, but even though it's not so big, it has a lot of hotels. According to Stefan, they serve around 5,000 room nights with 50 hotels.  “Montana has a draw. People want to come here, so we get a lot of leisure travel and the location between Denver, Seattle and Minneapolis makes it a natural place to stop.”  FACTS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE With around 100,000 people, Billings is the largest city in Montana and is known for its rich history, diverse culture, and thriving economy. Montana is nicknamed "The Treasure State" because of its abundant natural resources, including coal, oil, gold, and silver. Billings was once a hub for cowboys and is still known for its rodeo culture, hosting the Montana Fair rodeo each summer. Montana is home to more than a million acres of national parks and forests, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. You can also find the longest undammed river in the lower part of the United States here – the Yellowstone River. Montana is one of the largest producers of organic wheat in the United States and is known for its delicious wheat-based products. Montana is also known for its thriving arts and music scene, with several venues in Billings hosting live performances and events year-round. You have a lot of space here. With only seven people per square mile, Montana is the third least densely populated state in the USA. Only Alaska and Wyoming have fewer people per square mile.  YELLOWSTONE COUNTY MUSEUM IN A HISTORIC CABIN I spot a museum as I pick up my rental car at Billings Logan International Airport. It's called Yellowstone County Museum. It's placed right on top of the rim, right next to the airport. There's an amazing view here, but once you head inside the historic cabin and see more than 20,000 artifacts.  The Yellowstone County Museum has been open to the public since 1956. The entrance is a historical building called “The McCormick Cabin.” It was built as a space for social gatherings by Paul McCormick in 1893 in present-day downtown Billings. The cabin was moved to its current location in 1954 to serve as the Museum's entrance. Executive Director, Terry Steiner, tells me more: “Teddy Roosevelt and Buffalo Bill were personal friends of Paul McCormick, and they quite frequently came up to sit down and drink cheap scotch and probably smoke cigars in this cabin.” They also have a Buffalo there with fur on one side and a skeleton on the other. Or is it a Bison?  If you're landing in or flying out of Billings, take time to visit the museum. And it's free. AMERICAN ROAD TRIP BEGINS Now I'm starting my road trip, and when I met Stefan of Visit Billings, I thought he would be the best to ask what I should see. “Well, you can't go wrong no matter if you north, south, east, or west. Truly we're known as Montana's trailhead, so we're really that great hub to get you into all the great Montana adventures.”  After seeing the buffalo at The Yellowstone County Museum, I decided to head south to see real buffalos in Yellowstone National Park.  DRIVING THROUGH YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK Yellowstone National Park is one of the most stunning and unique natural wonders in the United States. Spanning across three states, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, this massive park covers over 2.2 million acres – that's almost 9,000 square kilometers and about the size of Puerto Rico or Cyprus.  It's home to an incredible array of geysers, hot springs, and other geothermal features. You can also spot a lot of wildlife, including bears, wolves, buffalos, and elk, and it's surrounded by breathtaking and scenic views that are simply awe-inspiring. The park's history is rich and fascinating, and it was the first national park in the world, established all the way back in 1872. Over the years, it has become a beloved destination for millions of visitors each year. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of Yellowstone National Park is its over 10,000 geothermal features, and we, as visitors, can witness the power of these natural wonders as they boil, bubble, and steam in the midst of the rugged wilderness. I'm driving down towards the most famous of these. It's called Old Faithful – and there's a reason for that. But we'll get to that.  Another fascinating aspect of the park is its diverse wildlife that can be seen roaming freely throughout the park. Visitors can also spot a number of bird species, including eagles, ospreys, and other birds of prey, making it a birdwatcher's paradise. DON'T GET CLOSE TO THE BEARS There are signs all over that we should stay at least 100 yards (91 meters) away from wolves and bears. But at a parking lot I saw a bear just a few meters away from a group of people taking pictures. This was crazy dangerous, and a car with some rangers drove up and shouted “move” and “get away” to the people. This was really dangerous, and some of these people could have ended up as bear lunch that day.  I actually caught this on video, and on theradiovagabond.com, you can see it, hear the car with the rangers approaching – and them shouting “move.” You'll be shocked to see how close some of them are. Just a few feet away from this huge bear.  OLD FAITHFUL One of the most popular attractions in the park is Old Faithful, a geyser that has been erupting for thousands of years. It is one of the most famous geysers in the world and is a major tourist attraction. Old Faithful gets its name from the fact that it erupts every 90 minutes, making it a reliable and predictable geological feature. It erupts by sending a column of steam and hot water into the air, reaching heights of up to 185 feet (56 meters). The eruption lasts between 1.5 and 5 minutes, and even though its faithful nature, the interval between eruptions can vary a bit. But they do have a sign saying when the next eruption time is.  Old Faithful is one of the world's most famous and well-studied geysers and is a symbol of the natural beauty and geological wonder of Yellowstone National Park. It is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the park and is an experience that visitors will never forget. I'm watching it from a viewing platform, but you can also take a guided tour to learn about the geyser and the surrounding area. The Old Faithful Visitor Education Center is also a popular destination, offering information about the geyser and other geothermal features in the park. I spent some time there and also watched an interesting video in their movie theatre.  PUT YELLOWSTONE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST Whether you're an avid hiker, a nature lover, or simply someone who loves to explore new places, Yellowstone National Park is an unforgettable destination that is sure to leave a lasting impression. It's a true bucket list destination that you won't want to miss. Overall, Yellowstone National Park is one of the most unique and stunning natural wonders in the United States, and my visit to this incredible park is an experience that I'll never forget.  DEVIL'S TOWER WITHOUT ALIENS I have one more experience to share with you. I made my way across the state of Wyoming from west to east to a unique mountain. It's called Devils Tower, and actually it's not a mountain. It is a geologic formation, a monolith, and a massive chunk of rock rising out of the prairies like a middle finger flipped at the sky. The rock itself is like nothing you've ever seen before and truly a sight that takes your breath away, a testament to the raw power of Mother Nature. With the unique flat top, it's rugged and covered in deep grooves that speak to the millions of years it's been standing here. As you approach, you can feel the energy of the place, a pulsing beat that hums through the ground and up into your bones, and you can sense that history and mystery as you wander the base. Devil's Tower became famous after serving as the centerpiece of the 1977 science fiction movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film tells the story of a group of people who have encounters with aliensafter seeing strange lights in the sky. The main character, played by Richard Dreyfuss, creates a copy of the tower in his living room and then is drawn there – even though the government tells people to stay away.  They didn't tell me to stay away. Just to stay away with my microphone. I spoke to a ranger telling some interesting stories and asked him if I could record that for the podcast. He said I needed a permit for that and sent me to an office. Here, the manager said that he also wasn't able to give me that permit. I had to send a special request to the PR department of the Park Service – and then MAYBE, I would get a permit in a few weeks.  This is America, and very bureaucratic in this way. Getting anyone to repeat what they just said to visitors into a microphone for a podcast is a long and difficult process, and something I experience again and again in this country – and only here.  But still, I got to admire the unique landscape I remember so well from the movie. In it, the aliens communicate with the humans on the ground through a series of musical tones. And to this day – even though it was just a film – many people visit this place in the hopes of having their own close encounter. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the American West and a protected national monument. It's a popular destination for rock climbers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. It is considered sacred by several Native American tribes, who have a long and rich cultural history tied to the site. So if you ever find yourself in Wyoming, make the pilgrimage to Devil's Tower. Stand in its shadow, feel its power, and be humbled by the sheer force of nature that created this magnificent landmark. And if you're hoping for an interview, ask a long time in advance.  AI POEM ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED  The Radio Vagabond took a trip to Montana's land, Where cowboys once roamed, wild and bold and grand. He visited a museum in an old cabin brought, With artifacts and stories, all worth a second thought. He spoke with Terry, learned about the past, Saw a buffalo, or was it a bison at last? Then off to Yellowstone, where nature did astound, A bear so close, the thrill made him resound. The Old Faithful geyser, shooting high in the air, A sight to behold, a memory so rare. Days he'll never forget, in this big Western state, Where the Radio Vagabond, his journey did create. And then he went to Wyoming, where aliens once took flight, A special mountain where close encounters took sight. The Radio Vagabond, on his travels, will roam, Bringing tales and wonders to his listeners back home. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.

It's called Devils Tower, and actually it's not a mountain. It is a geologic formation, a monolith, and a massive chunk of rock rising out of the prairies like a middle finger flipped at the sky. The rock itself is like nothing you've ever seen before and truly a sight that takes your breath away, a testament to the raw power of Mother Nature. With the unique flat top, it's rugged and covered in deep grooves that speak to the millions of years it's been standing here. As you approach, you can feel the energy of the place, a pulsing beat that hums through the ground and up into your bones, and you can sense that history and mystery as you wander the base. Devil's Tower became famous after serving as the centerpiece of the 1977 science fiction movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film tells the story of a group of people who have encounters with aliens after seeing strange lights in the sky. The main character, played by Richard Dreyfuss, creates a copy of the tower in his living room and then is drawn there – even though the government tells people to stay away. They didn't tell me to stay away. Just to stay away with my microphone. I spoke to a ranger telling some interesting stories and asked him if I could record that for the podcast. He said I needed a permit for that and sent me to an office. Here, the manager said that he also wasn't able to give me that permit. I had to send a special request to the PR department of the Park Service – and then MAYBE, I would get a permit in a few weeks.  This is America, and very bureaucratic in this way. Getting anyone to repeat what they just said to visitors into a microphone for a podcast is a long and difficult process, and something I experience again and again in this country – and only here. But still, I got to admire the unique landscape I remember so well from the movie. In it, the aliens communicate with the humans on the ground through a series of musical tones. And to this day – even though it was just a film – many people visit this place in the hopes of having their own close encounter. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the American West and a protected national monument. It's a popular destination for rock climbers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. It is considered sacred by several Native American tribes, who have a long and rich cultural history tied to the site. So if you ever find yourself in Wyoming, make the pilgrimage to Devil's Tower. Stand in its shadow, feel its power, and be humbled by the sheer force of nature that created this magnificent landmark. And if you're hoping for an interview, ask a long time in advance. AI POEM ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED The Radio Vagabond took a trip to Montana's land, Where cowboys once roamed, wild and bold and grand. He visited a museum in an old cabin brought, With artifacts and stories, all worth a second thought. He spoke with Terry, learned about the past, Saw a buffalo, or was it a bison at last? Then off to Yellowstone, where nature did astound, A bear so close, the thrill made him resound. The Old Faithful geyser, shooting high in the air, A sight to behold, a memory so rare. Days he'll never forget, in this big Western state, Where the Radio Vagabond, his journey did create. And then he went to Wyoming, where aliens once took flight, A special mountain where close encounters took sight. The Radio Vagabond, on his travels, will roam, Bringing tales and wonders to his listeners back home. My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See you.

In this episode we look at a UFO sighting that may have been responsible for intense radiation damage. Betty Cash, Vicki Landrum, and Colby Landrum experienced a Close Encounter of the Third Kind on a night in December 1980. The government denies any involvement with the sighting, even though military helicopters were observed during the sighting. Below are a list of sources that we utilized. 1. https://www.blueblurrylines.com/2022/06/cash-landrum-ufo-disinformation-rick.html 2. https://www.blueblurrylines.com/2014/02/whos-who-in-cash-landrum-ufo-case.html 3. https://www.cufon.org/cufon/cashlani.htm 4. http://web.archive.org/web/20080227222334/http://www.mufon.com/documents/MJ-121982.pdf

This Soundscape Artist Has Been Listening To The Planet For Decades Jim Metzner is one of the pioneers of science radio—he's been making field recordings and sharing them with audiences for more than 40 years. He hosted shows such as “Sounds of Science” in the 1980s, which later grew into “Pulse of the Planet,” a radio show about “the sound of life on Earth.” Over the decades, Metzner has created an incredible time capsule of soundscapes, and now, his entire collection is going to the Library of Congress. John Dankosky talks with Metzner about what he's learned about the natural world from endless hours of recordings and what we can all learn from listening. Plus, they'll discuss some of his favorite recordings. To hear the best audio quality, it might be a good idea to use headphones if you can.   The Surprising Animal Science Behind Jordan Peele's ‘Nope' One of the summer's biggest blockbusters has been the alien horror film Nope, from director Jordan Peele. Nope has elements of many classic UFO films, with the Spielbergian charm of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the horror and destruction from The War of the Worlds. For the spoiler-averse, this is your warning to turn back now. The big twist in Nope that differentiates it from other alien films is that it isn't a UFO (or UAP if you're up to date on the lingo) hanging out in the skies above our main characters. The saucer-shaped figure is the alien itself. Writer and director Jordan Peele attributes much of the inspiration for the alien as coming from sea creatures. He enlisted the help of scientific consultants including marine biologist Kelsi Rutledge to help bring the creature, known in the film as Jean Jacket, to life. She even gave it a scientific name: Occulonimbus edoequus, meaning “hidden dark cloud stallion eater.” Kelsi, who is a PhD candidate at UCLA in Los Angeles, California, talks to Ira about the ingredients that went into creating a new creature to scare audiences.   Making A Meal Fit For An Astronaut Life on the International Space Station throws some wrenches into how food and eating work. There's very little gravity, after all. And there are big differences between nutritional needs on Earth and in space. Astronauts must exercise two hours each day on the International Space Station to prevent bone and muscle loss, meaning daily caloric intake needs to be somewhere between 2,500 and 3,500 calories. Sodium must also be reduced, as an astronaut's body sheds less of it in space. Astronauts also have an increased need for Vitamin D, as their skin isn't able to create it from sunlight as people on Earth do. So, how do all these limitations affect the food astronauts eat? Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to answer these gustatory questions is Xulei Wu, food systems manager for the International Space Station in Houston, Texas. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  

Grab your popcorn and take a seat as we pay tribute to the greatest director in the history of Hollywood. Steven Spielberg's filmography is undeniable: Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan... Hell, even Catch Me If You Can and Munich are pretty entertaining in their own way. Plus his newest film, The Fabelmans, is in theaters now.

On Episode 122 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis concludes the celebration of the 45th Anniversary of Steven Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, in the second of two episodes. This 1977 film stars Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, Cary Guffey, and François Truffaut. It tells the story of Roy Neary, an everyday blue-collar worker in Indiana, whose life changes after an encounter with a UFO. CE3K became Columbia Pictures' most successful film at that time. Assisting in this endeavor are two very special guests! First of all, DANYI DEATS (the daughter of the late DICKY DEATS, the Key Grip on CE3K) shares the experiences of her and her family on the set of the film's finale at the Devil's Tower base! Danyi, who was 9 years old at the time, was one of the child actors chosen to participate in a group of small extraterrestrials who descend from the Mothership. In fact, Danyi was the "alien" who held Richard Dreyfuss' hand as a whole group of them escorted him to the platform to enter the ship! Danyi later appeared in Madonna's music video for "Borderline", and also went on to produce several music videos herself in Hollywood; including "Nothing But Love" by Mr. Big, "Desert Rose" by Sting, "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" by Shania Twain, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran, and "When the Heartache is Over" by Tina Turner (to name just a small few). Connect with Danyi on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube! Additionally, DENNIS TROMBLY joins Curtis for a conversation about his new YouTube Fanfilm Miniseries, Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Amended. After high school, Dennis began studies at Oakland Community College in Robotics Engineering, fitting for the automotive driven industry. During a humanities class, Film Studies, a professor pointed out his keen eye for observation, detail, and storytelling for film and suggested considering a career in film and television. In this discussion, he shares his love for films, specifically CE3K, and what led to his producing a prequel series for the film. Dennis may be reached at cetktv.com, as well as on Facebook or Twitter. Additionally, Mr. Retrovere shares this episode's Retro News segment.

Among his other scientific pursuits, Dr. Vallée did important work on an early version of the internet and has become a successful venture capitalist.

Find Weird Darkness wherever you listen to podcasts: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: We've all been exposed to the concept of the grey aliens – made popular in numerous TV shows and films. From Steven Spielberg's “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, to TV's “Stargate SG-1” they are seen as harmless, even friendly. But then there are the darker stories such as the true account of the abduction of Barney and Betty Hill, or the film “Fire In The Sky” telling of the true kidnapping of Travis Walton into a strange spacecraft – with both stories telling of strange and terrifying experiments being done to the abductees by the grey humanoids. But could that latter category of stories be even more sinister? Could the Greys be, in fact, harvesting our humanity… and possibly even our souls? (The Parasitic Greys) *** Over the years, hundreds of people online have shared memories of a cheesy Nineties movie called “Shazaam”. There is no evidence that such a film was ever made. What does this tell us about the quirks of collective memory? (The Non-Existent Film The Internet Insists Is Real) *** While the Loch Ness Monster, or “Nessie” is a worldwide celebrity, she has a distant cousin in America that doesn't get the same kind of press – although she probably should. Have you heard of Lake Erie's “Bessie”?
