Back on August 14, I had
a chat with Robert Sheaffer, a reasonable skeptic. I have always thought that
we need to know how the other side thinks if for no other reason than to
prepare rational and intelligent counterarguments. We had a good conversation about
a variety of topics, but concentrated on the information that has come out in
the last few years. I was interested in his take on the Tic-Tac videos and if
the skeptical community had an alternative to the suggestion of off-world craft
preforming exotic and impossible maneuvers. He provided some interesting
commentary on those videos.

For those who have been paying attention, I did interview Kevin Day, one of the sailors on one of the ships involved in the sightings from the USS Nimitz task group that sparked the renewed interest in UFOs. While Sheaffer provided a suggestion that involved electronic glitches, Day suggested that along with the sensor detections, there were visual sightings as well. You can review the Kevin Day interviews, both audio and visual here:
Toward the end of the
interview, I did ask Robert what he wanted in the way of evidence that would
suggest alien visitation. His answer surprised me. You and listen to the audio
and watch the video here:
The following week,
based on the sudden interest in the Kingman, Arizona crash, I flew solo, which
means there was no guest. I had reached out to several people about coming on
the show but only heard back for David Rudiak. He was continuing his search for
additional information and asked for a delay of a week or two. He’ll be coming
up soon with some additional insight into the Kingman crash.

I also reached out to
proponents of the crash who have, in the past, been ready to tell their side of
the story. Neither Harry Drew nor Preston Dennett bothered to respond to my
invitations. I have seen Dennett talking about the Kingman crash on other
venues and have read the relevant parts of his book that contains information
on Kingman. There are many problems with his analysis.
I was also concerned
because the Mohave Museum of History and Arts in Kingman, was reported to have
documents relating to the crash. But given some of the research I was able to
conduct from my armchair, I don’t believe they have anything from an official
source. I do know that they have a copy of Ray Fowler’s report on the crash,
though I don’t know if the have the whole file. I suspect they do, and we know
that part of that file contains the information about Arthur Stansel’s claims
of astral projection and interaction with alien beings. Other documents shown
were a collection of newspaper articles, which is documentation, but not
necessarily accurate information. You can read about that here:

Of course, the Kingman
crash was the topic of my solo show. You can listen to the audio and watch the
video here:
The research into the
Kingman crash has become important because it has been claimed to have happened
and I believe it is one of David Grusch’s twelve UFO crashes. I did speculation
on the list of possible crashes to which he referred and you can read that
here:
http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2024/04/david-grusch-and-his-ufo-crashes.html
Granted my list is
speculation but I believe, based on other research, it is fairly accurate. As I
have said, I believe that Grusch is accurately repeating what he has heard which,
of course, doesn’t mean the events he heard about happened. The lone exception
is the Roswell case (though if Shag Harbour made the list, that would be a
second).
There will be more to
come on this topic. I have been reading Lue Elizondo’s book, Imminent,
and will report on it later. My first impression is that it doesn’t advance our
knowledge of UFOs, or as he calls them throughout, UAP. But that is a
discussion for another time.
