For
this week’s show, I did provided what I think of as my mission statement,
something of a retrospective on what has transpired over the last few months,
some thoughts on where we might go in the next year, and then some comments on Roswell in the 21st Century.
You can listen to it here:
1. Mission
Statement –
This
was a talk about a search for the truth, whatever that truth might be as
opposed to what I wish to believe or others might wish to believe. It was about
how some of the old, classic UFO reports have been solved by modern standards
of research. For example, the Chiles – Whitted cigar-shaped UFO with square
windows was most probably a bolide and that this was underscored by the Zond IV
reentry nearly twenty years later. As it broke up, some believed they were
seeing a cigar-shaped UFO while the majority of people recognized it for what
it was.
2. Year in Review
–
I
started by discussing the Socorro UFO case and how guests Ben Moss and Tony
Angiola had sparked an interest by some of the things they said during that
program. I began to look into it carefully with a search for other witnesses
that Ben and Tony talked about. While there is nothing in the police log to
verify this, their existence was verified by Captain Richard Holder’s interview
with the police dispatcher on the night of the sighting. He wrote, in his
report also written that night that three calls had come into the police
station.
And
as you all know, they also sparked a discussion of the shape of the symbol on
the craft seen by Lonnie Zamora and how it had been altered in some documents
as a way to verify other sightings.
This
led me to Carmon Marano who had been an officer with Project Blue Book. He
explained the situation at Blue Book at the end of the project and provided
some interesting insights into what was going in the late 1960s as the project
wrapped up.
3. Preview –
I
had also thought we would move into the paranormal as part of our search for A Different Perspective. This would
include examining tales of Near Death Experiences. I mentioned a book I had
done on the topic, how I came to write the book, my interviews with people who
had experienced NDEs, and research at the U of I libraries.
I
also mentioned the case of alien abduction that I had researched in the
mid-1990s that evolved into the book Conversations,
a book about past lives and serial killers and what I think as an interesting
read (but, of course, I’m biased).
4. Roswell
Recanted –
Since
it had come up on other shows, and the question had been asked of me several
times, I did talk about what is in Roswell
in the 21st Century and how the information was gathered. Also
talked about some of the discoveries in the cold case examination of the
Roswell crash and some of the things that have been used to support the Roswell
story that really tell us something else about the world in 1947.
Next
week’s show: Colonel Charles Halt
Topic:
Rendlesham Forest, of course…

Happy New Year Kevin;
Hope this year will be great for your show. I like that you will have Mr. Halt on the next show, he'll want to promote his book but please don't let him get away without repeating that Rendlesham had nothing to do with a lighthouse.
I would like to make a suggestion on a podcast or blog. I just saw a video on the Scole Experiment, it seems like an interesting study and if true is more than just a little unsettling. BTW, the Foys in that case are no relations of mine.
Yes, more old cases reviewed with modern research. I wonder what Dr. MacDonald would say about the Chiles-Whitted case today? Wouldn't the simple comparison of the similarity that egg shaped craft by different people who were not influenced by each other crack this wide open (Levellend, Socorro, Maurice Masse incident, Vilas Boas case) and tons more?
