In 1989, the world was stunned by reports from Voronezh, Russia: a giant glowing UFO lands in a city park, towering aliens with three eyes step out alongside a mysterious robot. Witnesses claimed beams of light, children were paralyzed or turned invisible, and Soviet scientists reported "rocks not found on Earth." But is it real, or sensational journalism gone wild during Russia's glasnost era? In this video, we break down the famous Voronezh UFO landing of October 9, 1989, as reported by Tass, Associated Press, and even The New York Times. We explore the original Soviet accounts, the explosion of international coverage, and the involvement of schoolchildren witnesses whose stories grew more elaborate over time. You'll learn about: The “biolocation” methods used to "confirm" the landing site The alleged alien and robot encounter details How the story evolved in Western media The possible link to Spain's notorious UMMO Affair Jacques Vallée's investigation in Russia The real truth behind the so-called KGB invo

As far as well-known Australian UFO cases go, a 1988 report of an encounter in a desolate area known as the Nullarbor by the Knowles family, a mother and her three adult sons, is on a lot of lists, including Wikipedia. According to the article headlined “UFO Encounter on Nullarbor Plain Reported” in the January 21, 1988, Canberra Times, the family told police in Ceduna that they were chased by a UFO after watching it chase a truck and a car going in the opposite direction. They reported that it picked up their car, shook it violently, and then put it back down facing the other way with such force that one of the tires was blown. Sergeant Fred Longley of the Ceduna Police is quoted as saying “We have to take it seriously, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t. There were too many witnesses, the car was damaged and was covered in ash from the object and they were clearly shaken up.” While there has been much speculation as to what might have happened (and some doubt as to the validity of the story) there was anoth

In this compelling episode of Podcast UFO, Martin Willis speaks with Lori Rehfeldt, author of Rendlesham Lone Ranger: Precursor to the Rendlesham Forest Incident. Stationed at the 81st Security Police Squadron at RAF Bentwaters in England, Lori experienced her own UFO encounter in February 1980—months before the now-famous Rendlesham Forest Incident in December 1980, which occurred after she had left the base. Unaware of the second event at the time, she wouldn’t learn about it until discovering a book on the subject in 1997. Lori’s memoir is a unique blend of personal testimony and deep investigation, offering an insider’s view of enigmatic military assignments and unexplained phenomena. From dimensional energy shifts to interactions with non-human intelligences, she takes readers on a road map through her experiences at both RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. As an intuitive and empathetic observer, Lori weaves together personal insights, historical context, and patterns that hint at an ancient, ongoing con

New Jersey, as everyone in UFO world is aware, was ground zero for a full-on flap involving what most witnesses reported as mysterious drones. What’s noteworthy is that this same region was where residents panicked during Orson Welles’s radio production of The War of the Worlds in 1938. It’s also the area where there were two flaps in 1966, one in January and another in October, with the most dramatic reports centered around the Wanaque Reservoir. In this blog, we’ll focus on the January flap. At that time, several different investigators arrived on the scene, and as a result, there are several different versions of what happened.Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

*Note: I have a different opinion than blogger Charles Lear, but respect other people’s opinions, Martin.On Saturday, January 18, there was a much hyped exclusive on NewsNation, presented by Ross Coulthart. What was promised was testimony from a “whistleblower” along with video to back it up that a government UFO crash retrieval program does indeed exist. There was much excitement on social media, but once the episode aired, there was much anger and disappointment, the main complaint being that the video was less than convincing. While there was a lot of focus on the video, there was another focus on what we believe should always be the first principle when examining claims of this nature, and that is: Consider the source. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

From the very beginning of the flying saucer/UFO mystery, Joseph Allen Hynek played a huge role as an investigator.  According to him in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience, in 1947 he was asked to be a scientific consultant for the Air Force’s investigation program (which was then called Project Sign) based at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. He explains he was “then director of Ohio State University’s McMillan Observatory and, as such, the closest professional astronomer at hand.” He remained a scientific consultant for what operated as Project Sign, Project Grudge, and then Project Blue Book as of 1952, up until its termination in 1969. He went on with his own investigations, formed the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, and continued as its director until his death in 1986. In his almost 40 years of involvement with the mystery, Hynek’s beliefs and public stance evolved quite a bit. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

Amidst the reports of drone incursions over military bases and northern New Jersey, there was a story that made the news involving video footage reportedly taken by a co-pilot of an unidentified object in the sky above Manchester Airport in England, along with still shots of what was said to be the same object, seen to be a blue sphere, hovering over the tarmac. As is typical of UFO coverage in the news these days, when it’s not about what government officials think about the phenomenon, the origin of the story was a post on social media with no real names provided for the poster or the source. All that was left for those with an interest in the case was to conduct some rather imaginative analysis of the footage and argue back and forth over the possible alien origin of the object. Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.
