Martin Willis, joined by UFO Jack, speaks with author Mike Fiorito about the intriguing relationship between music, consciousness, and the unknown. The conversation explores the idea that sound and music may function as a tuning mechanism for the mind, shaping perception and opening pathways to deeper states of awareness. Drawing on examples from experimental and electronic music, the discussion looks at how sound can communicate beyond language and influence human consciousness in unexpected ways. The interview also touches on visionary figures such as Sun Ra and his concept of tone science, linking music with cosmic exploration, as well as the connection between sound, imaginal experiences, and anomalous phenomena. Together they consider whether music might serve as a bridge between inner consciousness and the wider mysteries of the universe.

In 1977, there was a flap in the area of St. Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire, Wales, that involved reported sightings of craft and humanoids. The most well-known incident involved 14 Broad Haven Primary School students running inside to tell their headmaster that they had seen a yellow cigar-shaped craft land in a field.

In 2015, while handling an inspection claim for damaged furniture in Buffalo, New York, I met with a client at his home. He was around eighty years old and wore a cast on one arm.

The cattle mutilation mystery and its association with UFO activity didn’t get the attention of researcher investigators until the 1970s. There is an
For many people growing up in the 1970s (of which this writer is one), seeing a UFO documentary was their first in-depth look into the subject. These films often came along with books tied in, and major publishers such as Bantam were getting onboard. More and more people were willing to accept the idea that UFOs were worthy of serious consideration, and this meant that more and more people were willing to spend money on movies and books covering the subject. What had formerly been mostly confined to a subculture of enthusiasts, was now becoming a somewhat profitable entertainment industry. Indeed, it may come as a surprise to some readers, but between the summer of the saucers in 1947, and 1968, there were only two documentaries made in the midst of all the science fiction saucer films that became popular starting in the 1950s.

More and more people were willing to accept the idea that UFOs were worthy of serious consideration, and this meant that more and more people were willing to spend money on movies and books covering the subject.

What may may come as a surprise to some readers is that between the 1947 summer of the saucers and 1968, there were only two documentaries (if any readers know differently feel free to comment) made in the midst of all the science fiction saucer films that became popular starting in the 1950s.
