This is a short audio post, and it isn’t numbered because it’s not a formal interview.  Earlier this year, I gave a short talk about my work and my own experiences. This was at the Archives of the Impossible conference at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I was invited to this impressive event by Jeff Kripal and Karin Austin. I thank them at the beginning. I also said this was a big deal for me, and it was. The audio of my talk was lifted from a youtube video put out by Rice University, and here's a link to that video. Learn more about your ad choices.

This follow-up conversation with Samantha was inspired by an owl. Really. The interview begins with me explaining why there needed to be a part two, and it involves an illustration created to match a psychic vision during meditation (see link below). This led to a deeper conversation on the fears, doubts, and challenges of UFO contact. Why do these elusive realms seem to overlap?

Brad Steiger is one of the hard working giants in this field. I was delighted and honored to spend an hour listening to his deep voice on subjects that I find profoundly interesting. Brad and his wife, Sherry Hansen Steiger, just published a book titled Real Aliens, Space Beings and Creatures form Other Worlds. This interview is focused on only three chapters of the book; Contactees, Abductees and The Star People. The implications of these subjects is the stuff that absolutely fascinates me. It was a delight to get to ask Mr. Steiger for his insights on these mysterious topics. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nick Redfern is back! This is his third visit, and he shares details and insights from his latest book, THE REAL MEN IN BLACK. This is a look into the elusive stories of these denizens of the outer edge of an already strange phenomenon. Nick talks about the reports of MIBs throughout the modern era of the UFO phenomenon, as well as recent tales from people who are presently experiencing high strangeness.

Joe is one intense dude! Get ready, this is a whirlwind interview. This guy has a way of stating some pretty hard to grasp stuff and then just roling on to the next thing. I needed to jump in a bunch of times and get him to clairify where he got that info. I felt like I played a good role during this interview, because I got Joe to share some pretty impressive findings. Joe Montaldo has been doing UFO research for almost 30 years. He's is Co-Founder, International Director and Spokesperson for I.C.A.R. the International Community for Alien Research. The organization's main focus is on Alien Abductions and the Alien Agenda. I.C.A.R. claims to have investigated over 5000 cases of Alien contact and abductions. He is also the host of the on-line radio program, UFO Undercover, with a focus on the alien abduction phenomenon.

Christopher Knowles has coined a new term, The ELUSIVE COMPANION HYPOTHESIS (the ECH) as a way to better articulate the elusive meta-weirdness that surrounds the UFO phenomenon. This term emerged during a series of five excellent posts on his blog, THE SECRET SUN. This set of farsighted essays paints a swirling entanglement of UFOs, Jack Kirby, Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, ancient astronauts, synchronicities, The Watchers, science fiction, nightmares, human evolution - and - alien abductees. We dig into all those topics, and more. I also ask him about a very creepy glowing figure he saw last summer at night with his dog, and this experience is downright (sorry to use the word, but) paranormal!

Micah and I ponder the mystical implications of the Wizard in the Backyard (whatever that means) and lots more. Micah is the author of MAGIC, MYSTICISM & the MOLECULE. This book explores many of the mysteries of human consciousness that have alluded mystics and scholars for centuries. It is an in depth investigation and analyses of the convergence of psychology, the paranormal, and historical mystical practices dating back to the dawn of humanity.

During the interview we ponder the term “subtle realms” as way to describe the indescribable. We attempt to name a place just beyond our grasp, what it might mean. I asked how her patients report their “altered states” of consciousness. Can you try and describe that realm. And how her role as a therapist attempt to re-access these altered states of consciousness? During the interview I share a personal experience with, what might be, that very strange ALTERED REALITY realm. And follow it up with a funny dream of the UFO in my brother’s garage. Dr. Colli is a therapist, and during our conversation I speak quite openly about my dealings with clinical depression. I was very tempted to edit out this section of the interview because it I talk about some very personal stuff. But I really feel that it’s relevant to some of the bigger questions that we attempt to unravel. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is a wide ranging conversation that goes all over the map. We attempt to make sense out of some of the more elusive topics in the already confusing realm of the UFO phenomenon. Greg is an author of a UFO book without any UFO's. PROJECT BETA is sub-titled: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth. It deals with the confusing issues that arise when the government uses UFOs as an aggressive form of disinformation, and how insanity can follow. And just so y'know, we never really mention the book during this interviw. This seems to proove that Greg is not using my humble blog to try and shamelessly promote his book. That said, I feel strongly that you should go out and buy it. We also look into Greg's very own UFO sighting from last month. He saw a curious object sit frozen in the sky despite high winds.

Philip J. Imbrogno is a scientist. That said, he sure ain’t timid about jumping into some of the deepest waters of the paranormal phenomenon and all its associated weirdness. This interview is focused mostly on the abduction phenomenon, and how it has evolved over the decades. Plus, we attempt to connect a few dots as to how this phenomenon is intertwined with other paranormal strangeness. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I met Sev at a conference in 2020 and saw her powerful presentation. She spoke about her contact experiences and how she worked to integrate them into her life, allowing her to follow a truer, more authentic path. I was struck by her clarity and hopeful outlook. She is a powerful voice within this community. This was a fun conversation, and we both laughed a lot. But we also ventured into into the deepest waters of this emotional mystery. She has a wonderful book, titled—You Have the Right to Talk to Aliens. This is a short, straightforward book that can easily be read in a few sittings. Her story is of moving beyond the victim, to facing her fears and working with the challenging emotional energies of direct contact. Her site, linked HERE. Her book, linked HERE.

This morning I found an almost forgotten digital audio file on my computer. It was a recorded audio session with myself and a skilled psychic named Marisa Ryan. When I re-listened to it, I was struck by a a few things. First, I was impressed by how accurate she was with her set of insights about me and my on-going weirdness. The other was how freakin' anxious and tormented I sound! This session with Marisa is just a little over two years old, and my voice from that point in my life seems a lot different than how I'm feeling today. At least I hope so. I've added some updated editorializing to the original session. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The acronym ETH stands for Extra Terrestrial Hypothesis, and it's long been the mainstay of how we look at the UFO phenomenon. The easy way to wrap your head around the flying saucer mystery is to simply declare that this mystery has it's home in outer space. But, there is something much more bizarre going on here, and the ETH falls apart if you really look at it. As Nick says, it's not just that it's weird, it's TOO weird.

Kim is the author of a book titled Beyond My Wildest Dreams, with illustrations by Darryl Anka. She is also the editor of a recent published book titled The Art of Close Encounters which features illustrations and first hand experiences by UFO contactees, along with artwork that depicts their memories. This was decidedly NOT an interview, instead it was a perfectly enjoyable conversation, seemingly without any framework or direction. But, I feel like we covered more ideas more deeply than we ever could have in a standard interview format. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I am perfectly honored to have shared two hours in recorded conversation with Dr. Leo Sprinkle. This man's biography reads like a checklist of every major event in the modern era of UFO research. He is now 80 years old and at the top of his game. And, after a half century of looking into the UFO phenomenon, he is still open minded and optimistic. I envy his child-like outlook in a realm full of deception and terrifying first hand accounts. During this interview Leo says: "The map ain't necessarily the territory." That short phrase sums up a lot of our conversation as well as my personal challenges around the UFO phenomenon. (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Marla Frees is a very powerful psychic that palyed an important role in my life. We had a psychic session together in October of 2009 that proved to be rediculously profound. This interview was recorded in April of 2010, as a follow up to our previous session, and as a way to make sense of some ongoing synchronicites in my life. We are both in great form, and we share insights and personal stories. Much less and interview, and much more a conversation! (link) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy Colvin witnessed the Mothman as a boy in Charleston West Virginia, and in the aftermath he claims to have had powerful experiences that go well beyond simply seeing a large red-eyed winged creature. And these experiences have followed him to this day. His obsessive role as a researcher has culminated in three books and a 36-hour documentary (that's not a typo) earning him the title The Mothman Photographer. Link Learn more about your ad choices.

I love the term Synchromysticism, it was coined by the young enigmatic film-maker, Jake Kotze. From his home in Winnipeg Manitoba, he has creating a series of delightful videos that attempt to define an elusive force that is welling up all around us. Pop culture is easily dismissed as trite and vapid, and it can be dismissed by those searching for deep metaphysical answers. But hidden within the soup of our mundane movies and TV shows is a path to the divine. We dig deep into psychedelics, interacting with aliens, crop-circles and transformative experiences all interwoven with synchronicities.

Melinda Leslie has been public with her own abduction experiences for over 18 years. For the last 15 of those years she has been actively researching the involvement of a clandestine group in the lives of abductees. This research into the covert-operations of alien abductees is re-defining both the UFO cover-up and abduction paradigms. She has uncovered an ongoing program of monitoring, harassment and re-abduction of very vulnerable people. Her years of investigation has meant the accumulation of a lot of data and detailed experiences, including her own. The covert-operations that invade the lives of the abductees be the best evidence for both the reality and importance of UFO abduction experiences.

A half hour excerpt of Mac's strong clear voice talking about his final book, The Cryptoterestrials. He was always a welcome guest on a wide variety of esoteric podcasts, but this performance on C2C was particularly impressive. He beautifully conveys his insights to a very mainstream audience. He had a way of articulating EXACTLY what I feel in my bones. He said it better and clearer than I ever could. Mac covers a lot in this first half hour, a great intro to anyone unfamiliar with his work. If you listen, you'll be treated to a remarkable set of ideas. You get the sense that George Noory is unwittingly drawn into a deeper place as he talks with Mac. Recorded September 2009 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On October 13th there was a flurry of UFOs reported above Manhattan. We dig into the inevitable hoax revelations following this kind of thing in the mainstream media, the use of deception as media experiments, the nature of the phenomenon and the various controversies surround it, the strange timing of the NYC “sightings” hot on the heels of all of the stories about UFOs, space travel, exoplanets and much, much more.

It's not easy to sum up Regan Lee, so a proper introduction is tricky. She has had a lifetime of experiences that defy any simple category.   Regan has been using her skills as a writer to share and explore her experiences. And calling her prolific is sort of an understatement. She has (at last count) upwards of fifteen blogs! Her expertise includes (but not limited to) Women of Esoterica, Painting, Bigfoot, mythology, Contactees, ghosts, hauntings and UFO's. She has a degree in Folklore Studies and Language Arts.   I avoid the term interview because this is much more accurately a conversation, and lemme say that we have a really great one! We cover a lot, and she is full of insights that were downright impressive. After I recorded our talk and we hung up, I immediately sent Regan an email stating: "Should I pay you for playing the role of my therapist?" It's funny, we have so much in common (and some of it is downright weird) that I felt like I this was some sort of psychiatric session where I was trying to figure out what it all means. I'm not sure we come up with any good answers, but there was never a dull moment. Her main blog (the best place to begin) is THE ORANGE ORB. Search out the other 14 blogs from this starting point. Another good one is SAUCER SIGHTINGS, lots of personal experiences and dreams. And for Bigfoot info, FRAME 352. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Red Pill Junkie is a pseudonym. Don’t tell anyone, but his real name is Miguel, and he lives in Mexico City. Like me, he's an illustrator and cartoonist. Miguel was involved with a remarkable project. He illustrated a set of Tarot cards, where the major arcana were represented by characters from UFO history. This project is at the heart of our conversation. We talk about creativity, and the role of the artist—and how synchronicity weaves its way through this elusive process. And — there’s a Patreon EXTRA, where we continue our conversation. The links: Miguel did a powerful video presentation about these cards for Ryan Sprague’s ANOMACON conference, linked HERE. See some high-quality images the cards are at THE DAILY GRAIL Red Pill Junkie’s blog HERE.

Dr. Leo Sprinkle holds an important place in the history of UFO research, and more importantly, he holds a place in my heart, and in the hearts of countless others who sought out his gentle guidance—this includes Katie Paige. Leo was our friend and mentor, and he passed away on November 15th, 2021. He was 91 years old. This show is dedicated to the memory of this remarkable, big-hearted soul. Katie wrote a book titled Letters of Love & Light: Four Decades of UFO Encounters, Experiences and Sightings Shared with Ufologist R.

Dr. Karla Turner and her husband Casey Turner talk about their abduction experiences and human surveillance. This presentation is  from 1993. Her work is extremely important to know about and is rarely discussed by mainstream ufologists. She thanks Bob at the beginning of her talk, and that would be Bob Brown who hosted the earlier incarnation of the IUFOC. The podium has "Showboat" logo on it, meaning the conference was in Las Vegas. The youtube video is linked HERE. I have been working to transfer the many youtube presentations by Dr. Karla Turner over to an MP3 audio format. This is a preferable  way to listen to her strong voice. The audio quality is somewhat poor, but the content is riveting. Her husband Elton Casey takes the podium at about the 35:00 time count. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
