February 26, 2023 — George Wingfield with Tim Swartz Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present UFO researcher George Wingfield with a possible rational explanation to the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UK UFO encounter. His book on the topic is entitled: “The Rendlesham Forest UFO Mystery and Project Honey Badger,” which examines the incident in considerable detail and reveals what appears to be extraordinary new evidence that proves exactly what this particular “UFO” really was. According to Winfield, previous claims by other authors that this UFO was a visiting alien spacecraft — or else one piloted by time-traveling humans from Earth’s future— can now be firmly dismissed. He has a BA Hons Degree in Natural Sciences from Trinity College Dublin and once worked as an astronomer at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Herstmonceux, UK, and then for many years with IBM UK Ltd in a variety of different roles.

February 12, 2023 — Allen Greenfield with Tim Swartz Feb 12, 2023

Show notes

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a very special evening with the one-and-only Allen Greenfield. One of the original teen Ufologists from the 1950s and 1960s, Allen is a world traveler and a long-time student of occultism, esoteric spirituality and Gnosticism, a study he began in 1960. A past (elected) member of the British Society for Psychical Research, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), he has twice been the recipient of the “UFOlogist of the Year Award” of the National UFO Conference (1972 and 1992), which ran continuously on an annual basis for 41 years. During this discussion, Allen will focus on the possibilities that UFOs are other than spaceships, perhaps emerging from an alternate reality. He’ll also discuss the legends of ancient astronauts, the theory that advanced extraterrestrials visited Earth more than two thousand years ago and inspired religious mythology. Allen is also one of Gene’s closest friends.

January 22, 2023 — Peter William Shelley with Tim Swartz Jan 22, 2023

Show notes

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz introduce researcher and podcaster Peter William Shelley. Born in San Jose, California, hey has had an active interest in UFOs and the paranormal since the 1960s. While still a child in 1969, he had a UFO experience that convinced him that the phenomena was absolutely real. In the late 1970s, he moved to Los Angeles and worked in cartoon animation as an artist. Ultimately, he was employed at Hanna-Barbera Studios and worked on such TV series as “The Godzilla Power Hour” and “Jana of the Jungle." An avid listener to podcasts on UFOs and the paranormal, he became dissatisfied with the quality of many shows (except ours of course) and in 2020 started his own podcast on YouTube called “Shadowy Spectrums." His main focus consists of cases outside of the U.S., and he talks about the stories of Ghost Rockets back in the 1940s, and the infamous UMMO UFO hoax that persisted for several decades before its creator exposed it for what it really was.
