BIO: Martin Willis, has harbored a fascination with the subject of UFOs since his formative years. Initially wavering in his beliefs, his encounter with a UFO in Carmel Valley, CA, in 2007 served as an epiphany, solidifying his conviction in the existence of Unidentifiable Flying Objects. Since that transformative moment, Martin has attentively followed discussions surrounding the phenomenon, maintaining a stance of cautious skepticism tempered by an ever-open mind.

With a firm belief that the truth behind UFOs/UAPs may forever elude us, including the enigmatic stance of governments such as the US, Martin regards the exploration of this mystery as one of paramount importance and unparalleled excitement. His interest in astronomy underscores his conviction that humanity is not alone in the universe, fueling a steadfast scientific curiosity regarding the vast cosmos.

My Visit to the National UFO Historical Records Center

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

On Saturday, January 11, I paid a visit to David Marler at the new facility in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, housing the contents of the National UFO Historical Records Center. The NUFOHRC is a recently formed non-profit organization, and the facility consists of two buildings provided by Rio Rancho Public Schools on the campus of the Martin Luther King Elementary School. In one of the buildings is a treasure trove of, well, UFO Historical Records, including the case files of the big three in twentieth century UFO investigation: the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, the Center for UFO Studies, and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. The APRO files had been in private hands since APRO ceased being active in 1988, and I was particularly eager to see those, as well as see the facility and offer congratulations to David. Read more

646B. Ryan Graves | UAP Flight Safety | Drones

Special Edition Part B: An in-studio interview, with Ryan Graves, former Lt. US Navy and F/A-18F pilot, to discuss the recent drone sightings, and UFO phenomena. Ryan shares his firsthand accounts, including his squadron’s experience witnessing the “Gimbal” — the first UAP video declassified by the Department of Defense. This extraordinary sighting took place aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt off the coast of Jacksonville, FL, in 2015. We also explore recent reports of drone sightings and their connection to the ongoing investigation of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Are these drones part of advanced technology, or do they point to something even more mysterious?

BIO: Terri Randall studied painting and fine art photography in college, and it was her love of imagery that led her into filmmaking. She began by working as a researcher, finding photos and archival footage for historical documentaries. From researcher, to associate producer, to writer/producer she’s works in every phase of production. In the early days of her career, there weren’t many opportunities for female directors, so Terri created her own. She directed and narrated her 1998 independent documentary short Daughter of the Bride which was nominated for an Academy Award and aired on HBO. Another of her personal films, To Know Where They Are, tells the story of her trip to Poland with her father to uncover what happened to their family during the Holocaust. Funded by the Anti-Defamation League, it’s been used in schools across the country to teach students about the Holocaust.

Since 2008, Terri has directed more than a dozen documentaries for PBS’s NOVA series. Her 2022 documentary Ultimate Space Telescope, about the James Webb Space Telescope, was nominated for a News & Documentary Emmy.

Terri has also directed several short dramatic films for the History Channel, many of which are now permanently displayed at historical sites like George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. These films follow the same approach she uses in her documentaries: letting compelling storytellers tell their own stories. One example is George and Martha Washington: A 40-Year Romance, which is based on Martha Washington’s letters to George, with Glenn Close as the voice of Martha Washington.

J. Allen Hynek Goes Public

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

From the very beginning of the flying saucer/UFO mystery, Joseph Allen Hynek played a huge role as an investigator.  According to him in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience, in 1947 he was asked to be a scientific consultant for the Air Force’s investigation program (which was then called Project Sign) based at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. He explains he was “then director of Ohio State University’s McMillan Observatory and, as such, the closest professional astronomer at hand.” He remained a scientific consultant for what operated as Project Sign, Project Grudge, and then Project Blue Book as of 1952, up until its termination in 1969. He went on with his own investigations, formed the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, and continued as its director until his death in 1986. In his almost 40 years of involvement with the mystery, Hynek’s beliefs and public stance evolved quite a bit. Read more
