Alien Encounters & UFOs In The News | Ep79

This week I have two guests. In the first half I am talking to Mike Damante about his book 'Above the Fold and the Fringe: How UAPs Became Mainstream News'.

In the second half I am talking to Chris Bledsoe about his book 'UFO of God: The Extraordinary True Story of Chris Bledsoe'.

Mike Damante
Above the Fold and the Fringe: How UAPs Became Mainstream News goes behind the scenes of the infamous New York Times article, and examines the history of UAPs in news media, and explores the significance of the impact these stories can and have had. With interviews from the journalists behind some of the biggest UAP stories like the New York Times Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, POLITICO’s Bryan Bender, KLAS-TV’s George Knapp, Popular Mechanics Tim McMillan, and others, learn how the news industry works, and get insight into some of the biggest paranormal stories ever.
This book also looks at some of the important figures who have culturally and historically changed the conversation on UAPs for the better with exclusive interviews with Jacques Vallee, Luis Elizondo, Whitley Strieber, Tom DeLonge, William Shatner, Jeffrey Kripal, Colm Kelleher,
and military witnesses.

Chris Bledsoe
Chris, a deeply religious family man and successful business owner from North Carolina was on the verge of the unthinkable after losing everything in the 2007 financial crisis and suffering from a debilitating chronic disease. Fishing along the banks of the Cape Fear River with three co-workers and his teenage son, he walks away from the group and cries out to God in a desperate prayer for help. Suddenly, a UFO appears and saves his life and cures him of his illness. Experiencing four hours of missing time, he returns to his group to find them dismayed. Terrified, they run for their lives as several UFOs chase them home.
This is the true story of hope, love, lies and deception, involving officials from the U.S. Government, CIA, NASA, a string of professors, and MUFON.
Prepare to go on a spiritual journey of awakening and transformation with a visit from the Lady, remote viewing, assassination plot of the Pope, dripping orbs, a burning tree, the Monroe Institute, and healing the son of an elite Washington DC power broker with ties to the IC and the White House. 15 years on, the phenomena still visits the Bledsoe family and affects the lives of people who come in contact with them. To outsiders this can be seen as evil, but those who are willing to be open and accept it, it is a blessing.
Are the events that are playing out around the world controlled and shaped by the Phenomena? The U.S. Government says UFOs are real. And millions of people believe GOD is real. So what do we do about UFOs and GOD? Mark 10:27 says, "All things are possible with God." So, UFOs must be interrelated with GOD if holding the scriptures to be true. It would be impossible to have one without the other.

Bio
Chris is a UFO experiencer and a strong believer in God. His life, now that his children are grown, is centered around telling his story and understanding why his experiences are increasing. He is passionate about keeping an open mind and engaging those who question who we are and why we are here. Most importantly he’s working to understand the consciousness connection with UFOs and how it impacts his faith. Like most of us, he is driven to know the answer to the age-old question, "Are we alone?" Chris lives in North Carolina with his wife, Yvonne, and their two dogs.

Ross Coulthart: UFOs & Disclosure

Ross Coulthart: UFOs & Disclosure

UFOs, UAPs, flying cigars, extraordinary new technologies ... Are we not alone?Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.In 2020, however, after decades of denial, the US Department of Defence made the astonishing admission that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained, and pose a genuine national security concern.Compelled to investigate, Coulthart has embarked on what's become the most confronting and challenging story of his career, speaking to witnesses, researchers, scientists, spies and defence and intelligence officials and insiders. What he has found suggests that the world is on the cusp of extraordinary technological breakthroughs and cultural revelations.Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, In Plain Sight tells a story that's largely escaped the radar of mainstream media coverage but has been there all along. Now it's time to observe what's in front of our eyes.BioMulti-award-winning investigative journalist with over three decades experience in newspapers and television, including reporting for The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, ABC TV Four Corners, Nine Network Sunday program and 60 Minutes, Seven Network Sunday Night.Five times winner of Australia’s national journalism prize – the Walkley Award – including the highest award, the Gold Walkley. Winner of a Logie, Australian TV’s top prize (for best public affairs TV reporting), and winner of a New York Film Festival Gold Medal for international investigative journalism.Best-selling author of five books, including DEAD MAN RUNNING and ABOVE THE LAW (investigations into outlaw motorcyle gang organised crime co-authored with Duncan McNab), history investigations THE LOST DIGGERS & THE LOST TOMMIES (detailing the discovery of a lost cache of photographs of Australian and Allied soldiers from World War 1), and  a biography of Australia’s First World War official historian, CHARLES BEAN - IF PEOPLE REALLY KNEW, that in 2015 won Australia’s prestigious literature award, the Prime Minister’s Literary Award (for Australian History).https://www.amazon.com/dp/1460759060/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Greys Are Aware of Putin

The Greys Are Aware of Putin

My head felt as if it had been split open. I know that I cried out, but it was in vain. Then, that entire horrible feeling was instantly gone! This time, I found myself immediately sitting up on my bed with the sheet around me but dropped to my waist. A small Zeta Grey was right next to me in the room. I was absolutely shocked as I was looking to my right where the Zeta Grey was standing there, with its creepy, pale ashen blue four-fingered right hand extended out to me, and it was directing its frozen gaze on me! To my stupendous surprise, behind this small otherworldly being, there was a swirling mass of violet and blue, long tendrils of what appeared to be light or vapor spinning, right where our bedroom window should be! I had an instant reaction of puzzlement coupled with heart-pounding terror, and I could only think, "Holy Christ, now what was this?"Instead of seeing our master bedroom window, I was looking at purple and blue tendrils of light; a misty, swirling hole that just appeared from nowhere! With the small Zeta Grey standing there half-in and out of that vortex, with its right hand extended towards me, I knew all too well that it wanted me to go with it back into the surreal opening from once it came! ... The small Grey being reached out for me with its right, spindly-looking hand, and then I found myself being pulled off the bed! I was in a pure adrenaline-fueled panic, and I dropped the bed covering with my left hand. Somehow the smalI Zeta Grey worker was able to completely "swoop" me into the swirling vortex that was coming out of my bedroom window! It was just a second or two inside this ethereal vortex, and I then felt a vibration going through my body and I experienced a big pull of gravity while going through the portal — my breath cheated me, and I felt as if I were going to pass out! The small Zeta Grey and I were then on the other side of this weird portal!Author Kay Rose Golden has brought her personal confessions and memoir forward to the public in this mind-blowing second volume of her lifelong otherworldly involvement with the extraterrestrials known as the Zeta Greys human-abductee, with the central, devious and manipulative, Tall Grey being that Kay believes is a Progenitor Grey type of extraterrestrial. Kay states emphatically that the UFO/ extraterrestrial/ otherworldly subject is a situation, not a phenomenon!BioKay Rose Golden is a loving wife, mom, a sister to eight other siblings, and grandmother of seven wonderful children. She is an avid horsewoman, rider and trainer on the plains of eastern Colorado. Kay has been a lifelong UFO experiencer--and an extraterrestrial otherworldly Grey-human abductee; she felt extremely compelled to come forward with her unbelievable otherworldly encounters, after her initial shocking abduction in September of 2017, from the bedroom of her home in southern California! After a few telephone conversations with a world-renowned UFO researcher, Kay decided to take all of her notes and drawings and compile it into her book, “Into the Greys’ Abyss.” These are Kay’s own genuine multiple abductions by the Greys, with many mind-boggling and terrifying experiences of several different species of otherworldly beings-- that continued to occur.Kay Golden has written a very shocking book full of her real-life, bizarre, and extremely frightening encounters with the beings known as the Zeta Greys. A very frightening and mind manipulating central figure in her book is a Tall Grey otherworldly being, and Kay believes is a Progenitor Grey she refers to as “Rex”, who seems to be her captor behind the scenes of each abduction. Kay’s story is truly mind-blowing, and she has had one hell of a roller coaster ride with these otherworldly experiences!Kay and her husband Charles recently moved from the home southeast of Denver, Colorado, to a wide- open sky, and very quiet country property out on the blowing amber plains of Colorado with their horses. Kay hopes to be able to train her horses and live peacefully now.  For Kay, the bizarre subsequent abductions, thought transference messages, and morning “Cosmic Zone” weird downloads, along with the witnessing (with both photos and videos of UFOs day and night) at their previous home, were too much and nothing short of terrifying! The first contact Kay had in that home occurred in March of 2019. Kay hopes that with her true, extraordinary and frightening encounters in this book, that it will help many others with similar UFO and otherworldly experiences, to simply encourage these people to come forward, and to let them know they are not crazy, and not alone! There are species visiting us on this planet that are not benign, not here to help us,  but are manipulative and underhanded -and it is most definitely not a hand holding and singing together of world peace Kum Bay Ya situation!https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/into-the-greys-abyss-volume-2-k-rose-golden/1148365598?ean=2940184657462 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A Harvard Professor Studies Alien Abduction

A Harvard Professor Studies Alien Abduction

In this episode, I take a grounded and thoughtful look at one of the most debated subjects in contemporary psychology and anomalous experience: the alien abduction phenomenon and the work of Harvard psychiatrist John Mack. Rather than leaning into sensational claims or extravagant speculation, the discussion centers on what Mack actually encountered during his years of research and why the topic continues to challenge the boundaries of conventional understanding. I begin by outlining who John Mack was before he entered this controversial field. As a respected academic known for his work with trauma and resilience, Mack was not someone typically associated with fringe ideas. His eventual interest in abduction reports emerged slowly, shaped by repeated encounters with people who described unsettling experiences that did not fit neatly within existing psychiatric frameworks. This background provides listeners with a sense of the intellectual and ethical landscape Mack navigated as he began taking witness testimonies seriously.From there, the episode moves into the reported experiences themselves. Rather than dramatizing them, the host treats the accounts as personal narratives that mattered deeply to the people who told them. The show examines how individuals described being taken from ordinary settings, often at night, and finding themselves in unfamiliar environments where nonhuman beings seemed to conduct examinations or communicate through impressions rather than speech. The emphasis is not on proving or disproving these accounts but on understanding their psychological impact. Listeners are reminded that, regardless of the cause, the emotional intensity of these experiences was genuine for the people involved.The episode also explores the patterns that emerged across testimonies. Many experiencers described anxiety, confusion, and difficulty making sense of what had happened to them. Others reported long-term shifts in worldview, including a heightened sense of environmental responsibility or a broader spiritual awareness. I highlight these transformations not as evidence for any particular conclusion but as important data points in understanding why Mack regarded the phenomenon as deserving of study rather than dismissal.Mack’s professional challenges are addressed as well. Harvard’s inquiry into his research is discussed with an emphasis on academic context rather than drama. Listeners gain a clear sense of the tensions between scientific conservatism and open inquiry, and how Mack’s willingness to engage with unconventional material placed him at the center of a difficult debate. I approach this history with balance, acknowledging both Mack’s critics and the integrity of his intentions.Throughout the episode, the overarching goal is clarity rather than sensationalism. The show invites listeners to consider the abduction phenomenon as an unresolved area of human experience, one that may not yield simple answers but remains worthy of thoughtful exploration. By framing the subject through Mack’s work and the voices of those he interviewed, the episode offers a calm, measured entry point into a topic often clouded by exaggeration, providing space for curiosity, empathy, and informed reflection. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
