In tonight’s firsthand account, Melissa takes us back to a quiet Sunday night in 1974, when she was just 11 years old. Her family had just left evening worship at church and was driving a deserted stretch of the newly constructed I-75, between Chattanooga and Knoxville. There was no traffic, no distractions—just the road and something watching from above. What appeared was a massive, disc-shaped craft—liquid silver, like shimmering mercury or pewter—that suddenly hovered over their car, silently keeping pace in the Tennessee night sky. But the most unforgettable part? Seeing fear on her father’s face for the very first time. Join us as Melissa recounts this unnerving encounter with a UFO so vast and otherworldly, it turned an ordinary drive home into a moment frozen in time.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-335-interstate-75-encounter/If you enjoy this podcast, please support the show with a virtual coffee:https://ko-fi.com/ufochroniclespodcastFollow a

Welcome to Brief Encounters—where history’s strangest moments collide with the unexplained. I’m your host, Nik. It was April 1665. A quiet day along the shore of the Baltic Sea. Fishermen cast their lines near the German town of Stralsund, as they had for centuries. Salt in the air. Nets in the water. Nothing unusual—until they looked up and saw ships—not in the water, but in the sky. Dozens of them. Moving, maneuvering, and even firing at each other. A battle. In broad daylight. Overhead. And then… a dark object emerged. It hovered. It shimmered. It terrified.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

He hasn't shared this story with hardly anyone, but Joseph and his friend were chased out of an old, abandoned Air Force Radar Base by some type of entity that they could not really see. It moved through the bushes and also threw up snow, but all they could see was an invisible entity.

Welcome to Brief Encounters—where history’s strangest moments collide with the unexplained. I’m your host, Nik, and today we’re taking this series far back. Back to a time when the most powerful empire on Earth ruled under the watchful eye of the gods—or maybe… something else. Long before Roswell, airships, or even the word ‘UFO’ existed, the Romans were seeing things in the sky.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Tonight, we’re joined by Steven from New York State, who’s had more than his share of strange encounters. One unforgettable night during his teenage years, a quiet swim with a friend turned surreal when a blinding light and a deep, vibrating hum descended above their pool, leaving the boys in stunned silence. Later in life, Steven witnessed a truly massive, flat-bottomed craft drifting silently over his neighborhood. It was a moment of awe, quickly followed by disbelief from others… until a friend independently confirmed seeing the same UFO just miles away, describing it in exact detail. But Steven’s experiences go far beyond traditional sightings. In 1986, a weekend trip to a lakeside cottage took a bizarre turn when two men revealed that their friend “BILL” wasn’t from Earth. That weekend exposed Steven to strange technology, mysterious artifacts, and a glowing blue sphere said to possess powerful healing abilities, an encounter that left him shaken and full of unanswered questions. Then, in 1989, Steven ex

Welcome to Brief Encounters—where history’s strangest moments collide with the unexplained. I’m your host, Nik, and today we kick off this series with one of the oldest and most vivid mass sightings ever recorded: the day the sky turned into a battlefield.On April 14, 1561, in Nuremberg, Germany, a peaceful dawn was shattered by chaos in the heavens. Hundreds of citizens witnessed an aerial event so bizarre they could only describe it in the terms of their time: a sky war. Dark spheres, cylindrical crafts, crosses, and rods collided, exploded, and fought. Then, as suddenly as it began, it ended, leaving behind scorched earth and a woodcut that would etch this mystery into history.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Welcome back to Brief Encounters, the podcast where we sift through the ashes of the past … to find the sparks that just don’t fit. I’m your host, Nik. And tonight, we’re crossing scorching sands back to the Arabian Peninsula, in the year 1487. A time of caliphates and caravans, of mystics and merchants. But deep in the silence of the desert, something appeared. Not travelers. Not stars. Not sandstorms. But men—fiery men—falling from the sky. That’s right. In a strange and little-known report from 1487, travelers told tales of burning figures descending from the sky. Figures that glowed, pulsed with heat, and radiated terror. So, were these apparitions just hallucinations in the haze of heat? Or is this another case of humanity witnessing something … not from here?A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that

In this gripping episode, our guests tonight come to us from New York state, brothers Chris and Sean O’Leary, lifelong alien abductees whose lives have been marked by decades of chilling encounters. From childhood experiences of missing time to adulthood visits by otherworldly entities, their story is nothing short of astonishing. Sean, a retired police officer, opens up about the night he was pushed to the brink — when he drew his weapon on a being that defied all earthly explanation.Together, the O’Leary brothers peel back the layers of a lifelong mystery, sharing not only their personal accounts but the emotional and psychological toll these encounters have taken. They describe moments of haunting sense of being watched, night after night. For Chris and Sean, the abductions didn’t stop when they grew up — they only deepened, raising disturbing questions about the nature of these beings and their intent.Are these encounters part of a larger alien agenda? And what happens when those trained to uphold the law

Welcome back to Brief Encounters, where history whispers about things that don’t quite fit.I’m your host, Nik. And today, we’re traveling to the shores of feudal Japan—to the year 1803. A time when samurai still held power, and isolation from the outside world was strictly enforced.It’s a story passed down through strange drawings, oral tales, and old scrolls. A ship, unlike any other, drifts ashore. Not wooden, not familiar—a metallic disc with glass windows, covered in symbols no one could read, it’s a story known as the Utsuro-bune legend.A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

While on duty on the morning of 28th November 1980 he had been investigating a case of a missing herd of cows, from his police car he saw a bright light in the road ahead that he describes as a hovering, rotating object. Missing time and an attempted cover-up by the MOD and his superiors impacted both Alan's personal and professional life.A few months before his UFO encounter, Alan was involved in a mysterious case. In the afternoon of the 11th of June 1980 a dead body was found that was later identified as Zigmund Adamski, he had been missing for 5 days and lived in a village at a distance of about 30 km from the site. Alan was called in to investigate the case. The body was lyin

Alexander the Great, one of the most formidable military minds in human history, is expanding his empire across the known world.

 Welcome to Brief Encounters, where history’s strangest moments meet the unexplained. And today… we’re going to climb a little higher. Last time, we stood on the battlefield at Sigiburg, where “flaming shields” frightened an army into retreat in the year 776. But this time, we’re not looking at a single event—we’re diving into the mind of a medieval man who collected stories that seem straight out of a sci-fi film.A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Welcome to Brief Encounters, where we dig into the oldest—and often the weirdest—encounters between humanity and the skies above. We’re going deep into the past. The year is 776 A.D. The place: Sigiburg Castle, in what is now Germany. It’s a time of war, chaos, and bloodshed. But above the battlefield, something appeared—something none of the soldiers could explain.A side project of Nik Hunter, host of the UFO Chronicles PodcastIt is a trial run of ten twice-weekly bite size episodes, if enjoyed by the listener, Nik will continue releasing episodes.Brief Encounters is a tightly produced, narrative podcast that dives headfirst into the world of UFO sightings, the paranormal, cryptids, myths, and unexplained legends.

Tonight, we meet Phil from Buckinghamshire, UK. From a young age, Phil sensed his world was differentOne childhood afternoon, home sick with the mumps and resting in his mother’s bed, he glanced toward the doorway—and froze. There stood the apparition of a little girl, silent, dressed in pale blue with corn dollies woven into her hair.Later, a picture fell from the wall, revealing a hidden photograph tucked inside the frame—an old image of a girl strikingly similar to the one he’d seen. The house had a rhythm of its own. Toy soldiers would fly across the room without warning. At night, Phil lay paralyzed as the ghost of a woman hovered above his bed.These weren’t just Phil’s experiences. His mother, too, had stories—memories of playing with three mysterious children who visited every summer when she was young. Children, she later realized, no adult ever seemed to see.Some lives are touched by the paranormal. Others are shaped by it.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclesp

For tonight’s episode, we meet Sarge in Idaho. Sarge brings us a firsthand account that has stayed under wraps for far too long. Picture this: a quiet spring night in 2010 at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota—a critical hub for nuclear security. Out of nowhere, UFOs appear—silent, precise, and unlike anything witnesses had ever seen before. These crafts maneuver over the base for exactly one hour, silently observing before vanishing into the night sky. But the story doesn’t end there. The very next night, a large reconnaissance plane appears, circling the base at the exact same time the UFOs had the night before. It lingers for several hours before disappearing without a trace. We’ll hear from Sarge, who was on duty that night and was one of multiple witnesses to this extraordinary event. And there’s more—back in October 1968, at the same Air Force base, ground-based personnel reported seeing a glowing object hovering near the missile sites. It was described as extremely bright, with rapidly shifting color

Tonight's guest is Neal from Northern Ireland, who runs the paranormal YouTube channel Saws Lost Souls.
