'X' Zone Broadcast Network -Flying Solo with a Variety of Topics

 

As I mentioned last week, I thought I would be flying solo on the show this week. It has to do with finding interesting guests who can spend about an hour in the middle of a Wednesday. Sometimes the gods just conspire to make things a little bit more difficult than they need to be.

I did begin with something of a rant that dealt with those who don’t do their research but feel competent to write books about UFOs. I could name several that I have read recently that head in that direction, but just wonder about the wisdom of doing that, especially in the world today. You can listen to the show here:

Or you can access the video version, though I warn you that it just me, sitting there talking about these topics. You can watch it here:

From that point, I talked about some of the early history of UFO investigations from the Twining letter of September, 1947, to the new office known as the Airborne Object Identification and Synchronization Group which doesn’t lend itself to a pronounceable acronym.

Then, I decided to commit what I think of Ufological suicide. It means that I was going to explain my position on some of the subordinate areas of UFO research. This means that I explained what I thought about cattle mutilations, alien abductions, crop circles, and finally a brief mention of the nonsense known as MJ-12. You can, of course, hear me explain all that on the show.

I did talk about those who have used fake military service to boost their credibility in the UFO field. While many of them are unable to prove military service, making all sorts of claims about why there is no record of their service, I mentioned that there is even a picture of me with my flight school class on the Internet. That would prove, if nothing else, that I was, at one point in training to become a helicopter pilot. Of course, a visit to the 187^th AHC website, would document my Vietnam service as a helicopter pilot (And for those interested, a visit to www.vietnamgroundzero.blogspot.com would provide additional evidence.

My Flight School class from 1967 (which I hesitate to mention because it shows my age).

I thought it might be a good idea from that point to talk about the Levelland UFO sightings of November, 1957. I think of these sightings as the second-best case for the extraterrestrial explanation for UFOs. It is the case that makes it obvious that by 1957, the Air Force wasn’t interested in investigating UFOs. Their job was to explain them, regardless of how silly that explanation might by. Of course, it helps if you’ve read Levelland, my recent book about these sightings in particular and the EM Effects associated with some sightings in general.

Finally, to prove that I have been busy, I talked about the Roswell case, coming up on its 75^th anniversary. In Understanding Roswell, I try to provide a better understanding on the case, looking at the witnesses who were they, how the case unfolded, and examining the mythology that has grown up around it.

Next week, I will interview John Greenewald on his recent recoveries of FOIA material related to the new official investigation into UFOs, which the government now calls UAPS. We’ll take the discussion in the direction of possible disclosure, but I think we moving into a new Dark Ages, as Ruppelt labeled the era around the 1950s.
