In 2000, Gary Lowrey, a Bakersfield, California, fire safety officer, came forward with the claim that he and his family were being harassed by strange creatures that came through his bedroom closet and left them with pinprick marks on their bodies. He produced physical evidence and video to back up his claim and got the attention of key figures in the UFO community at the time. While one piece of his physical evidence wound up in labs for extensive testing, his video evidence wound up being defended in a court of law.
Lowrey’s story came to the attention of Ventura, California, podiatrist Dr. Roger Leir, who gained notoriety for his claims that he had repeatedly removed anomalous objects from people who believed they had been abducted and implanted with devices by aliens. Leir wrote about the case in the article (page 3 of the pdf) headlined “The ‘Claw’ Scientifically Analyzed” published in the December 2003 MUFON Journal.
According to Leir, “Gary and his family have been involved for many years with numerous conscious memories of actual experiences.” He says that Lowrey had passed lie detector tests and undergone two regressions, one of which was performed by abduction researcher Budd Hopkins. Lowrey told Leir that he was going to try to capture video evidence and did so using a video camera hidden in a clock radio in his bedroom. He gave Leir what he believed was footage of a creature, and Leir gave it to “several video analysts” who saw “evidence of some kind of an image showing a creature in the film.” Other footage showed “balls of light floating through the air.” Read more
Martin Willis welcomes Lorien Fenton, longtime UFO researcher, MUFON meeting director, radio host, and producer of UFO CON, for a wide-ranging conversation about UFO encounters and the mysteries surrounding them. Lorien describes her life-threatening illness in 2009, her experiences with what she believes are white light beings, and an extraordinary 2014 sighting of a massive black triangle UFO that reportedly changed direction and vanished at tremendous speed. She also recounts sightings of unusual craft, including a horseshoe-shaped object allegedly pursued by an F-16, and discusses her theories about consciousness, memory manipulation, and extraterrestrial contact. The conversation includes a heartfelt remembrance of Mario Woods, concerns about the direction of UAP disclosure and David Grusch’s recent public statements, and a preview of UFO CON 2027, where firsthand witnesses and experiencers take center stage.
Author and world traveler Brad Olsen joins Martin Willis to explore the mysteries of Antarctica and his latest book, Secrets of Antarctica. Having personally sailed to the frozen continent, Olsen discusses alleged UFO sightings, mysterious pyramid-shaped mountains, possible underground installations, and reports of unusual activity beneath the Antarctic ice. The conversation examines controversial claims surrounding Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s Operation Highjump, alleged Nazi bases and advanced aircraft, and accounts attributed to Antarctic aviation personnel. Olsen also discusses satellite imagery, GPS coordinates, and his hopes for a future expedition to investigate some of these locations firsthand. The discussion broadens to UFO crash retrievals, reverse-engineered technology, Project Blue Beam, and the prospects for government disclosure. Throughout the interview, Martin questions the origins of these stories and the evidence behind them, while Olsen presents his interpretations of one of the world’s most enigmatic regions. An intriguing exploration of Antarctic mysteries, alternative history, and UFO theories, including claims that remain unverified or disputed.
“In mid-January 1975, for about three minutes, a spaceship landed on a hill in New Jersey, apparently to collect soil samples. It happened again last month.” This is according to Budd Hopkins in the summation of his 
Martin Willis welcomes Indy Pederson, author of Sacrificing Humanity: The UFO Is a Portent of Nuclear War, whose extraordinary experiences in remote Patagonia transformed him from a UFO skeptic into a believer. After purchasing property on an island that locals described as a UFO base, Pederson says he encountered a mysterious glowing orb that approached within two feet of his vehicle and appeared to begin transforming into a humanoid figure. He also discusses alleged government interference involving his island property, reports of cattle mutilations, possible underwater UFO activity, and his concerns about the connection between UAPs and nuclear weapons. A fascinating conversation exploring close encounters, unexplained phenomena, and what these mysteries could mean for humanity.
In the September 20, 1976, Tehran Journal out of Iran, there is the 
Martin Willis welcomes back Dave Scott, creator and host of Spaced Out Radio, for a candid conversation about UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and the unexplained. Dave shares why he has become increasingly skeptical of the disclosure movement, questions the government’s narrative, and explains why firsthand witnesses may hold more answers than insiders. He also discusses his involvement in connecting Canadian officials with prominent U.S. UFO figures, including Lue Elizondo and Christopher Mellon. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Dave recounts strange experiences at the remote Flight 21 crash site in British Columbia, including alleged Sasquatch encounters, mysterious footprints, UFO activity, and other paranormal phenomena. Martin and Dave also explore Roswell, the hitchhiker effect, and why mainstream media continues to shy away from serious UFO coverage.
Martin Willis sits down with Charlie Foltz and Jim Weiner, two of the original witnesses to the famous 1976 Allagash UFO encounter in northern Maine. Fifty years later, they recount the enormous glowing object that approached their canoe, a mysterious beam of light, apparent missing time, and the unsettling memories they say emerged during separate hypnotic regression sessions with investigator Raymond Fowler. They discuss their alleged encounters with nonhuman beings, how the experience transformed their art and careers, and the profound effect it had on their lives. Jim also shares a remarkable near-death experience following a serious accident. Recorded after the Exeter UFO Festival, this is an intimate and revealing conversation about one of the most debated abduction cases in UFO history.
This is the last of a series of 
Martin Willis sits down with Anne Ramsey Cuvelier, who for years opened her historic Newport, Rhode Island mansion to UFO experiencers, researchers and investigators seeking a private place to share extraordinary encounters without ridicule. Anne recalls gatherings that included Dr. John Mack, Budd Hopkins, Barbara Lamb, Peter Robbins and members of the Allagash abduction case. Now 92, she reflects on a lifetime connected to the UFO mystery, including her father’s comments about unusual aerial objects, his friendship with former Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, her experiences investigating crop circles in England, and her memories of leading figures in the experiencer community. The conversation explores the stigma once surrounding abduction reports, how attitudes have changed, and the important role Anne played in giving experiencers a place where they knew someone would listen.
Martin Willis sits down in person with Lue Elizondo for a wide-ranging conversation about UAP disclosure and what may be happening behind the scenes in Washington. Elizondo reveals that he has returned to the Washington, D.C. area and says he is once again working for the U.S. government, although he cannot disclose his specific role. He discusses why some UAP information remains classified, his restrictions on discussing alleged crash-retrieval programs, and the long-rumored 23-minute UAP video, which he says isn’t the most compelling footage that exists. The conversation also covers NASA and unusual observations involving the Moon, historical UAP performance, Ross Coulthart’s recent claims about Elizondo, whether the government truly understands the phenomenon, and the possibility that humanity perceives only a tiny fraction of a much larger reality.
In last week’s blog, we looked at a case that started when the Sentinel out of Gulf Breeze, Florida,
