Upcoming: Greg Martin

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Thursday, July 30, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Retired NASA aerospace engineer Greg Martins joins Martin Willis to discuss his remarkable journey from designing systems for spacecraft to exploring consciousness, extraterrestrial contact and the Akashic Records. During his 35-year career at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greg worked on Space Shuttle payloads and deployable mechanical systems for satellites, including NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. At the same time, he was privately exploring meditation, remote viewing, telepathy, astral travel and what he describes as contact with beings from other star systems. Greg will share his early UFO and extraterrestrial experiences, his out-of-body encounters during Native American Vision Quest ceremonies and his claimed communications with beings associated with the Pleiades, Alpha Centauri, Arcturus, Aldebaran and Sirius. We will also discuss the central ideas behind his award-winning book, Star Journey Home: Connect with Your Home Planet and Oversoul. What are the Akashic Records? Could a person’s soul originate somewhere beyond Earth? What does Greg mean by a “home planet” and Oversoul—and how does he reconcile these extraordinary experiences with the analytical mind of a NASA engineer?

UPCOMING: Mike Gold: NASA’s UAP Files

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, July 28, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Former senior NASA official and space policy expert Mike Gold joins Martin Willis and special co-host, astronomer Marc D’Antonio, to discuss NASA’s handling of unidentified anomalous phenomena and the powerful stigma that has prevented serious scientific investigation for decades. Gold served on NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team but says the panel was never tasked with examining historical UAP evidence. Now, as part of a new independent effort, he intends to help investigate unexplained imagery and data contained within NASA’s archives, including unusual objects in space, lunar anomalies, astronaut observations, missing or blurred imagery, and possible artificial structures and tracks on the Moon. We will discuss why NASA never followed its initial study with a serious examination of the evidence, whether defense and intelligence agencies possess additional space-based UAP data, and why Gold considers the stigma surrounding UAP a genuine national security threat. Mike will also address the possibility of nonhuman intelligence, claims of classified knowledge concerning the Moon, advanced propulsion, government transparency, the Artemis program, America’s renewed race to the lunar surface, and the danger of falling behind China in space. Mike Gold is an attorney, aerospace executive and internationally recognized space policy expert who previously held several senior leadership positions at NASA, helped develop the Artemis Accords, negotiated international agreements for the Lunar Gateway, and received NASA’s Outstanding Leadership Medal.

PART 2: Boy Hit with Paralyzing Beam of Light from a UFO

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In last week’s blog, we looked at a case involving a 13-year-old boy (the investigators chose to keep him and his family anonymous) who said that on December 4, 1980, he saw a UFO and was hit in the chest by a beam of light from it that temporarily paralyzed him. The case was investigated by Joe Nyman and Ed Fogg of the New England UFO Study Group, and they wrote a report that was published on the front page of the January 1981 issue of the group’s publication, the New England UFO Newsletter. After the investigators told him to look for any unusual marks, the boy discovered a red mark on his chest, which they saw and photographed. During questioning, it came out that during his encounter, he had heard squeaky mumbling noises in his head that varied in pitch “like a two-year-old would do.” He added that “they seemed educated” and that “something was trying to say something.” That night, he started talking in his sleep, his mother recorded it, and the case took on a new aspect.

768. Marc D’Antonio on UAP File Drop Videos and Images

Astronomer and veteran photo/video analyst Marc D’Antonio joins Martin Willis to examine highlights from the 40 UAP files released by the government on July 10. Marc analyzes several intriguing images and videos, including possible aerostats, balloon clusters, fast-moving objects, and the widely discussed “star-shaped UFO.” He explains how infrared sensors, diffraction, parallax, camera movement, and missing metadata can make ordinary objects appear extraordinary—and identifies one case that remains a genuine puzzle. Marc also shares his own unexplained observation of two satellite-like lights making a dramatic 40-degree turn.

767. Dean Alioto & Samantha Graves

Historian Samantha Graves briefly shares a new research questionnaire collecting close-encounter reports from Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires. Then filmmaker Dean Alioto joins Martin Willis to discuss The Experiencers: Full Disclosure, an eight-year documentary project exploring classic abduction cases, contemporary experiencers, shared encounters, regression research, PTSD, and the challenge of presenting extraordinary testimony with credibility and empathy. They also examine why experiencers remain largely absent from congressional UAP hearings and why their stories may be essential to any meaningful discussion of full disclosure. The film is available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+.

Boy Hit With Paralyzing Beam of Light

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

Reports of people suffering physical effects after being zapped by UFOs appears often enough in UFO literature that an author could devote an entire book to them. In 1980, there was such a report out of Foxboro, Massachusetts, that was looked into by local investigators. A detailed account and analysis of the case by Ed Fogg and Joe Nyman appears in the January 1981 New England UFO Newsletter, put out by the New England UFO Study Group, under the front-page headline, “Light-Beam Paralysis, Possible Communication, and Physical Effects in Foxboro, Ma. Close Encounter.”

In a preface to the report, it is explained that while the witness, a 13-year-old boy, and his parents had given permission to have their names made public, the investigators chose to keep them anonymous to avoid “unthinking publicity” and “inquiry bordering on harassment” they’d seen with other cases.

The Blue Creature of Elkton, Michigan

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In 1958, motorists in Elkton, Michigan, were alarmed by the sight of a blue creature with blinking lights and what looked to be a space helmet. Estimates of its size ranged from 2 to 10 feet tall, and mothers who spotted it while looking out the windows of their homes were reportedly worried about letting their children go out at night. The police got involved after a busload of junior high school students spotted it, and it wasn’t long before the mystery was solved.

In the October 31, 2008, Huron Daily Tribune there is an article (page 5 of the pdf) by Traci L. Weisenbach headlined, “50 Years Ago, ‘Little Blue Man’ Shook up Elkton.”  After the introduction in which the reader is asked to imagine driving down a country road and spotting “an illuminated, bluish figure moving very quickly, perhaps even dancing,” Weisenbach reveals that the creature was actually a young man dressed in a costume. He and two of his friends had come up with the idea, and with him in costume hidden in the trunk of a car, the other two would drive around and let him out in various locations.

According to Weisenbach, the three men involved were Jerry Sprague, LeRoy Shultz, and Don Weiss, who had just returned after serving in the military. Don Weiss was interviewed and said, “We were 22 or 23 years old and we were looking for work.” He added, “We had a little extra time on our hands.” Read more

765. Rony Vernet

Rony Vernet returns to Podcast UFO to discuss his field investigations into unusual phenomena reported in the Amazon rainforest and other remote regions of Brazil. An electrical engineer and researcher, Vernet shares accounts from indigenous communities involving luminous orbs, humanoid figures, strange lights, apparent equipment interference, and encounters that local residents believe originate from the forest itself. Martin and Rony also discuss the Peru flying humanoid reports, the Varginha case, alleged Brazilian military and police encounters with UAPs and beings, and the difficulty of collecting repeatable scientific data in unpredictable field conditions. Vernet explains his use of cameras, drones, infrared equipment, sensors, and other tools, along with why some of the most striking incidents reportedly involved lost or corrupted recordings. The conversation explores possible physical, spiritual, psychological, and interdimensional interpretations of the phenomenon, as well as Rony’s upcoming work and documentaries.

A 1973 Humanoid Case From Indiana

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

We often write about UFO cases that end up being neglected as other more dramatic cases grab the attention of investigators and the press. A case that was doomed to just this sort of treatment involved reports on October 22, 1973, out of Indiana. This was just after the October 12th Pascagoula Incident and the October 18th Coyne Helicopter Incident, and while all three cases share the front page of the September-October 1973 APRO Bulletin, the Indiana case faded into obscurity as the other two became classics.

We first came across this case in the 1975 Center for UFO Studies publication, Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings: A Preliminary Catalogue, compiled by Ted Phillips and edited by Mimi Hynek. The case shows up on page 95, and it’s included in the catalogue because there were traces found in a field the day after the sightings. The source for the report is given as the afore-mentioned issue of the APRO Bulletin. Read more
