In last week’s blog, we looked at a case from Maine (we failed to identify the location) involving two young men, David Stephens and Glen Gray, who reported encounters with multiple UFOs, a period of missing time, physical symptoms, possible poltergeist activity, and a visit by a man wearing a dark blue suit (not quite an MiB) who told Stephens, “Better keep your mouth shut if you know what’s good for you.” The account up to this point, as reported by Brent Raynes in the article (page 12 of the pdf) headlined “The Twilight Side of a UFO Encounter” published in the July 1976 Vol. 22, No. 2 Flying Saucer Investigator, all came from conscious recall by Stephens and Gray. Stephens later underwent regressive hypnosis to try to fill in the missing time and details came out that involved possibly being aboard a craft and examined by strange, non-human creatures.

Last Week, we wrote about a case that Betty Hill looked into and came upon another case she was involved with that intrigued us to the point that we were moved to explore it in detail. Most significantly, it involves reported encounters with Men in Black, one from a witness/experiencer (actually a Man in Dark Blue), and the other from the doctor who worked with him to recover memories using regressive hypnosis. 
In this episode, we’re excited to welcome special guest Earl Anderson, who will be diving deep into the mysterious world of UFO encounters and high strangeness. Earl brings a wealth of experience from his extensive investigations, where he’s gathered numerous samples and firsthand accounts from those who have experienced the unexplained. Together, we’ll explore the profound and often puzzling phenomena surrounding UFO sightings, the strange occurrences that accompany them, and the powerful stories of those who have come face-to-face with the unknown.
Betty and Barney Hill came to the world’s attention when the report that they were abducted in 1961 by occupants of a UFO was taken seriously in the mainstream press. What is not widely known is that Betty turned to UFO investigation after this, and when Barney died in 1969, she became more deeply involved and travelled from conference to conference giving lectures on the subject. Betty’s niece, Kathleen Marden, co-authored the 2007 book with Stanton T. Friedman, Captured!, about her aunt’s and uncle’s experience. In Chapter 25 titled, “Fall From Grace,” Betty’s “commitment to solve the UFO mystery” is described. According to the authors, Betty received cautions and criticisms from members of the UFO community who were concerned that her subjective approach and intense belief were causing her to become the subject of media attention for all the wrong reasons and putting her credibility at risk. Even so, she is credited with participation in cases that have become part of the literature, and this week, we’ll look at one of those. 
Chris Lehto returns to discuss the UAP hearing, over a year later. We dive into memorable moments, like being the last people into the event and spotting ourselves in footage, and touch on future UAP hearings. We discuss several insights from Lue Elizondo’s new book, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs. Chris shares details on his upcoming fieldwork in Norway, collaborating with experts on cutting-edge UAP detection systems, and recaps his background as an F-16 pilot and his journey into UFO research. We also discuss Mick West’s debunking efforts, safety reporting in aviation.
