BIO: Andy McGrillen is the Scottish host of That UFO Podcast and the author of the number one bestseller Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects. Since launching the podcast in 2020 during the early days of the COVID pandemic, Andy has interviewed many of the biggest names in the world of UFOs, earning a reputation as one of the most recognisable voices in the field.
For many years, stories of recovered crashed saucers and alien bodies were usually dismissed by investigators due to the stigma created by the effective debunking of the Aztec incident by J. P. Cahn in two articles he wrote for True magazine, the first in 1952 and the second in 1956. The stigma remained until the 1970s when influential researchers started becoming open to such cases, and an early story to come out during this period was that of a 1953 crash in Kingman, Arizona, that made the news in 1973. It was looked into by National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena investigator Raymond E. Fowler, who published an article covering it titled “What About Crashed UFOs?” in the April 1976 issue of Official UFO. Leonard Stringfield included the Kingman portion of it in his 1977 book, Situation Red!Read more →

Astronomer Marc D’Antonio returns—and this conversation goes far beyond the standard model of the universe. What if the Big Bang isn’t the full story? Are dark matter and dark energy real, or placeholders for something we don’t yet understand? And could our entire concept of space-time be missing critical pieces? Marc and I explore alternative cosmological theories that challenge long-held assumptions in physics. We also connect these ideas to one of the biggest questions of all: if UFOs are real, how could they actually get here? Could advanced civilizations be using physics we haven’t discovered yet? Are there mechanisms that allow travel across vast distances, or even through space-time itself? This is a fascinating, open-ended discussion that invites you to think beyond the limits of mainstream science.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s, major science-based UFO organizations in the United States, and especially the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, looked down on contactee claims as ridiculous and unworthy of their time. This started to change as the 1970s got underway, due in part to the ideas put forward by Jacques Vallée and John Keel, but by the 1980s, things started going back to the way they were, at least in the United States. Investigators in other countries, however, stayed open to such reports, and in this week’s blog, we’ll look at a 1983 case from Brazil as it was presented in the British publication, Flying Saucer Review.

As fond as we are of historical UFO reports, it’s always a pleasure to write about a recent report and especially when it’s one from our own backyard. In April 2024, we wrote about a sighting from a plane landing at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, and we more recently wrote about a sighting a co-worker had from a rooftop bar in Manhattan, which we felt warranted an onsite interview and investigation. These both had intriguing videos to back them up, and the witnesses were able to be named in both instances. Happily, we just came across a sighting in Corona, Queens, with the same attributes.

BIO: Jay Hammen is a school psychologist with a lifelong interest in UFOs, consciousness, and anomalous phenomena. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and decades of interest in ufology, he has developed a conceptual framework he calls the Convergence Theory of the Consciousness Field, which explores the possibility that many paranormal and UFO experiences may represent different interpretations of interactions with a shared informational field of consciousness. Jay approaches the subject from a psychological and cross-cultural perspective, examining how altered states of consciousness, creativity, mystical experiences, and anomalous encounters might intersect. His work synthesizes ideas from researchers such as Jacques Vallée, Carl Jung, John Mack, Diana Pasulka, and Terence McKenna. Outside of his professional work in psychology, Jay is also a musician and songwriter. Martin Willis, Host Podcast UFO Est. 2011
BIO: JEFF SELVER, with an MBA, and a passion for management and leadership Jeff worked in banks, corporate training as a motivational speaker, and teaching mindful leadership. He has been under the tutelage of a Vedic teacher for over twenty years where he learned Vedic philosophy and meditation. When his memories of alien contact came out Jeff began presenting on his contact events in UFO groups, sharing his story in detail, and providing research and corroboration with other experiencers. He currently resides in Vancouver, B.C. with his spouse.
Amidst the many assorted descriptions of UFO-related entities, silver-suited humanoids, sometimes with antennas, show up in many reports. They are described repeatedly in the 1976 Center for UFO Studies publication by David Webb, 1973 – Year of the Humanoids, and there were several reports during the 1977 flap in what has been called “The Welsh Triangle” that we wrote about recently. In this week’s blog, we’ll look at a couple of cases from the Southern United States, the second of which became quite well-known.
In the January 4, 1981, issue of The Robesonian out of Lumberton, North Carolina, there is an article (page 7 of the pdf) by Tim Lewis headlined “Shining Silver Man Stalks Forest Acres Area.” According to Lewis, the previous Tuesday at around 10 p.m., a couple had just exited Barker Ten Mile Road when they saw a round flashing light near the turnoff at Bee Gee and McLeod. As they got closer, they were able to determine that the light was located in a vacant wooded lot. Read more →
Among UFO enthusiasts, in between the serious, science-based researchers and the crackpots, there are people who enjoy the mystery for the fantastic tales and the colorful people it spawns, as well as the social interaction with the like-minded. One of the first examples of this sort of person was Gray Barker, who became known for his 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers. He became good friends with James W. Moseley, who would become well-known as the publisher of Saucer Smear magazine, and the two of them became notorious for pranking and poking fun at what they considered their over-serious peers. As the 1960s got under way, a group formed around Moseley, who was based in Fort Lee, New Jersey. This included Allan Greenfield, Eugene Steinberg, and Timothy Green Beckley. Of these, Beckley, Like Barker, would become a prolific publisher of UFO-related material, and in 1978, he started putting out UFO Review, which was a tabloid-style newspaper chock full of UFO news, reports, interviews, and lurid ads for UFO books, UFO merchandise, new age self-help guides and related paraphernalia.

Martin Willis welcomes Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times, and formerly the Daily Mail, for a wide-ranging conversation on UFO/UAP journalism, disclosure, secrecy, and why this subject is finally being taken seriously by more mainstream reporters. Because of the UK–U.S. time difference, this interview was pre-recorded, but the discussion is timely and deeply relevant to where the topic stands today. Christopher talks about how his interest in the phenomenon evolved, from childhood curiosity to serious investigative reporting, and explains why the post-2017 landscape changed everything for journalists and the public alike. He and Martin also explore the psychology behind why some people remain completely uninterested in the subject, while others become intensely engaged once they begin looking at the evidence. The conversation also dives into some of the biggest current issues in the field: alleged drone incursions, secrecy surrounding retrieval programs, possible reverse-engineering efforts, the role of the U.S. military and intelligence community, and why so much of the disclosure story appears centered in the United States. Christopher shares his perspective on recent reporting involving Patuxent River, James Clapper, Neal McCasland, and the broader push toward government transparency. This is an in-depth and thought-provoking interview about where the UFO/UAP topic may be heading next, what real disclosure could look like, and why bipartisan interest in Washington may matter more than ever. Visit Liberation Times for Christopher Sharp’s reporting, and be sure to subscribe to Podcast UFO for more interviews and discussions on the mystery.

🔮 Martin Willis joined by UFO Jack talks with author Mike Fiorito about his groundbreaking new book The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music, a journey into the intersection of music, consciousness, mystery, and the unknown.
📘 About the Book: In this reflective and imaginative work, Mike Fiorito explores how music acts as a portal to deeper understanding — not just as art, but as a medium that shapes perception, consciousness, and our sense of reality. The book weaves together ideas from sonic experimentation, mysticism, cultural history, and the UFO phenomenon, suggesting that sound may play a role in opening the mind to mystery.
🎶 Key Themes Covered in This Interview:
• How music functions as a “tuning mechanism” for the mind and consciousness.
• The role of experimental and electronic music in communicating beyond language.
• Insights into iconic thinkers like Sun Ra and how his concept of “tone science” connects to cosmic exploration.
• The connection between sound, imaginal experiences, and anomalous phenomena.
• Why music might open doors to inner worlds just as compelling as outer space itself.
📅 Publication Info: The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music is available for pre-order now and will publish on April 11, 2026.
🛸 Whether you’re into music theory, consciousness studies, the UFO phenomenon, or creative cosmology, this conversation pushes the boundaries of how we think about sound — and the mysteries it can reveal.
BIO: Mike Fiorito is a freelance journalist and author. His books include UFO Symphonic-Journeys into Sound, For All We Know, Mescalito Riding His White Horse, Falling from Trees and Hallucinating Huxley. UFO Symphonic-Journeys
into Sound was named a Finalist in the Miscellaneous category for the 2025 National Indie Excellence Awards. Mescalito Riding His White Horse received the 2024 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Spirituality. Falling from Trees received the 2022 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Short Stories.
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. On February 17, three staff members reported they saw the same craft. The story made national news thanks to British UFO Research Association investigator and UFO Investigators Network correspondent Randall Jones Pugh, and a flap began that would result in the area being referred to as “The Welsh Triangle.” A lesser-known case involved an entire family that reported a series of strange events which Pugh covered in articles published in issues of Flying Saucer Review and the BUFORA Journal.
In April, while driving, Pauline Coombes and three (out of four) of her children were reportedly chased by a football shaped UFO. Later that year, in October, Coombes, her four children, and her mother reportedly witnessed a craft and humanoids that behaved in an especially bizarre manner. It came out that all sorts of strange happenings were said to have been occurring on the family homestead called Ripperston Farm. Journalist Clive Harold got close to the family and wrote a book about their experiences titled, “The Uninvited.” Read more →
