This
week, after months of frustrating attempts to coordinate our schedules, Brad
Steiger and I were finally able to talk about UFOs and the Paranormal. After Brad said some very complimentary things about me, we launched into the interview. I
had thought we would talk about some of the strangest of the UFO landing
reports including bizarre looking aliens. We began, however, with a short
description of the Socorro landing described by Lonnie Zamora and what he said that he had seen in 1964. I did surprise Brad by mentioning that there
were additional witnesses to the case, as documented by a report made on the night of the sighting, though that evidence is somewhat thin.
All that is laid out in detail in Encounter
in the Desert which is, of course, my book about the Socorro landing. You can listen to the
Our
conversation, which seemed to be way too short for me, delved into some aspects
of the UFO, but as Brad pointed out, there are alternative explanations for
many sightings that don’t involve alien visitation. Brad suggested there might
be some interdimensional contacts as well as alien visitation.
We
also noted that descriptions of the aliens were not uniform, meaning that those
in other countries didn’t see the same sort of aliens that we, here in the US,
did. Some of those descriptions seemed to come from science fiction films such
as Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. A photograph of one of those aliens from the movie, as described in a sighting from Argentina is seen at the left. We talked about the
evolution of those descriptions from aliens who seemed to be wearing spacesuits
(environmental suits?) complete with breathing apparatus, to the aliens of
today who might be wearing flight suits but are breathing our atmosphere.
The
other thing that would be of interest is the discussion of the publishing
industry and how it was back forty or fifty years ago. I said that I had read
his book, Strangers from the Skies in
a high school study hall which dated both of us. Some of that discussion showed
how things have evolved and proved this was a wide-ranging discussion.
