By
coincidence, I had scheduled an interview with Philip Mantle before I learned
about the open hearing about UFOs, I mean UAPs, that was held on May 17. We
both watched that hearing and spent the first part of the show talking about
our impressions of it. Again, I was not very impressed with that hearing and
Philip had the same general reaction. You can see the show here:

We
did talk about some other things as well. Philip, and his publishing company,
Flying Disk Press, have been involved with Calvin Parker of Pascagoula fame.
Parker
has written about his experiences in 1973 when he and Charles Hickson
were abducted while fishing. I knew, based on the investigation that Philip and
Dr. Irene Scott had conducted, that the witness base had expanded. This sort of
thing is always worrisome when it comes about decades after the fact and I
mentioned that to Philip.Philip Mantle
Turns
out that there were many witnesses to the blue, glowing object near the river
that night that had been reported by Parker. Philip and Irene had talked to
many of these witnesses, gathering more corroborative evidence. I, of course,
am always a little skeptical of witnesses showing up long after the event.
Here, however, not only were they interviewing the witnesses in our modern
world, but they had evidence of those witnesses involvement in 1973. As I say,
you can listen to Philip discuss this and verifying that many of the witnesses
were interviewed in 1973. There is solid documentation to back that up. Makes
the case just that much stronger.
We
wrapped up the show with Philip talking about the new book he had written, UFO
Landings U.K. It is, of course available on Amazon for those interested in
learning about landing cases outside the United States. For ease, here is the
Amazon link:
Next
week, I’ll finally talk with Michael Shermer, if everything works out. We had
some trouble in the past with getting everything coordinated with him given his
schedule and mine. This should be an interesting show given our diverging
opinions.
