John Tenney stops by the pod, and we ramble about the sanity of experiencers, how easy it is to feed your delusion on magical thinking, manifestation and doing magic for others instead of yourself, the contactees, the UFO grifters of past and present, and much more!

Close Encounter at Kelly and Others of 1955 by Isabel Davis and Ted Bloecher -
What's up, Patrons. I sat down with my buddy, Spencer Wirth-Davis (The What If? Podcast) to talk about David Grusch's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. From one man's martyrdom, to a talk about muscle cars and A.I., episode 2065 of the JRE will leave you annoyed as hell and wondering what you just listened to. Don't worry, Spencer and I have got you. From talks about alien life, to talks about muscle cars, orangutans using sticks and AI, this conversation leaves no stone unturned, dives into the "white wing" of ufology, and goes places you don't even see coming.

On this installment of OSS After Dark that is definitely NSFW, Jeff and I bring you the story of one woman's fling with a smelly alien, Claude (who would go on to found the Raelien movement) proudly showing off his baguette to anyone he could, an alien matchmaker that looked like Mega Man, and the story of Rob Krisohperson, who's sexual encounter could best be described as a "mat classic."
Special thanks to Jeff Demers for putting in the time on this one.

WARNING: Though this episode is hilariously dumb, it it most definitely NSFW
Look, y'all voted for this, so you have nobody to blame but yourselves. In the first, and what I hope is the only volume of this series, we bring you three stories, about people having sex with aliens. In the first story, Susan meets a reptilian alien named Quetyl whom she falls deeply in love with only to have things end tragically. In the second, truck driver Alvin Guerra finds himself taken on board a UFO by a group of alien women. Before long, they "reward" him with sex. And our third story is about a housewife angry and wronged by a group of aliens who had an orgy with her husband.
Special thanks to Kay Gray from The Haunted Mitten Podcast for playing the part of Liberato's scorned wife.

“This earth is now under close surveillance and profound scrutiny by alien intelligence from distant star systems. I am NOT being silly. I know what I am saying and doing as well as you.” Norman Harrison, 1977
In the early 1970s Norman Harrison started to receive messages from extraterrestrials about such things as... earth's destruction. Were these messages the product of genuine contact, or the result of one man's struggles with life?

Look, is this project a mistake? Probably, but I will attempt to dethrone Sufjan Stevens and make this 50 states thing work! Anyway, today I bring you some really strange cases from California, including what may be the most terrifying looking UFO of all time, a case reminiscent of the film, The Fourth Kind, a mining couple plagued by a zapping UFO, and some orange stealing aliens!

What's up, patrons! So, I ended up getting Covid, which delayed this episode by a week, and I proudly made it through most of this episode... before coughing (don't worry I edited them all out... I think). On this installment, a Pennine Mystery Addendum, Part 2, so to speak, we look at the experiences of Paul Bennett, one of the investigators of the Alan Godfrey abduction. His story has it all folks, including giant robots, Predator-like "invisible walkers," UFOs and short shadow figures. Also, J Allen Hynek leaves a review of the podcast (didn't see that coming, did ya?)

This week's main episode ran a little long, and we didn't want to deny anyone the story of John Womack in all its glory. In his book, I Was Picked Up By A UFO, John Womack detailed his time aboard a UFO and the strangeness that he encountered. We're making this bonus episode available to everyone!

On this installment of The Hum and the Silence we dive into more obscure abduction cases, including the case of Clarence Patterson, who was abducted with his truck near Loxley, Alabama; the story of Paulo Coutinho, who went missing for 20 hours on board a UFO, and one family's encounter in a strange cafe.

Greetings Patrons! I'm back with the 66 addendum. If you recall, 1966 was the Swamp Gas year; the straw that broke the camels back for Project Blue Book and led to a civilian study of the UFO phenomenon and Blue Book's files from the University of Colorado. It was the year that Frank Manor saw a glowing pyramid in his back yard, an all girls school saw lights in the swamp, a group of police officers pursued a UFO over state lines and the ominous arrival of the Mothman.
On this episode I touch on a number of cases that involve foul odors (stinky portals), humanoids talking to each other, James E. McDonald's viewing of the Robertson Panel Report, and Hyenk's more open policy about the UFOs. There were "saucer nests," "bent headlights," and UFOs and humanoids that pursued children, among other fascinating trends in cases.

Hello Patrons! Here is the first of three volumes of supplementary material from the 65-67 series!
There were a number of trends from this year that stood out, that we didn't really get a chance to cover on the main show. There were multiple events where a car would be lifted up into the air and communication would occur. South America was the location of a number of contactee like cases, but also cases in which "little people" would present witnesses with pieces of metal. This was also the year of the Valensole Affair, one of France's most important UFO cases of all time, and even Antarctica saw UFO activity around this time!

Greetings patrons! I apologize for taking so long with these bonus episodes, but they are here in one combined episode.
In Volume 9, we take a look at Argentinian sightings leading up to the Trancas Incident (which we covered in episode 99 with Stephanie Quick), including the sighting of a man who was burned by a UFO and a hotel that was destroyed under mysterious circumstances.
As a follow up to episode 100, I present more hostile UFO encounters, including the infamous 1946 encounter of João Prestes Filho, which allegedly lead to his death, and the story of a French baker who was attacked by a UFO occupant.
In Volume 10, I present the infamous Cowichan District Hospital close encounter witnessed by Doreen Kendall, which led investigators to a series of sightings on Vancouver Island leading up to it. I also explore an interesting archetype that keeps popping up in my research.

Hello Patrons! On this episode of the Hum and the Silence, I delve into supplementary material from the "Year of the Humanoids," including a woman named Alice and her family's encounters with "the little people." There is the story of Eddie Webb, a long haul trucker who was blinded and had his glasses burned by a UFO. On the abduction side of things, Brian Scott had been involved in multiple abductions including one in 1973 in which his consciousness was abducted and taken on board a UFO. Patty Roach was involved in a frightening encounter with her entire family as they were taken from their home and brought on board a craft to have her memories taken.
