UFOs in Alaskan Airspace | Ep81

This week I am talking to Jessie Desmond about her book 'Saucers of The North: A History of UFOs in Alaska Airspace'.

A historical examination of UFOs in Alaska airspace spanning from native oral traditions, early Russian Alaska, Alaska as a US territory, Alaska as the 49th state, and to the present time. UFOs have been present earlier than most suspect. There are military ties and even some conspiracy theories.
Saucers of The North provides a linear examination of Alaskan history based on the perspective of reported UFO activity. The social and cultural impact of UFOs have turned ufology into an area of interest and even the base of some fringe sciences. Alaska is known to have a high amount of UFO reports per capita. Saucers of the North expands on that and dives deep.

Learn about:
Native oral traditions that have extraterrestrial ties
Pre-1947 sightings of strange things in the sky
Post-1947 local sightings and military projects like Project Pinball
Animal mutilation in Alaska
The JAL 1628 UFO incident that took place on Nov. 17, 1986

Bio
Jessie has always been a creative person with a passion for writing, science, history, illustrating, painting, music, film, the paranormal, and cooking/baking. It's taken a lot of hard work since she came into this world in December of 1982, but she continues to pursue her interests and passions (writing, art, and the paranormal) on a daily basis.
Jessie has been in-charge of the - now defunct - paranormal group PEAK (Paranormal Explorers of Alaska) for many years and still collects tidbits here and there of paranormal occurrences in Alaska. Aside from her interest in the paranormal, Jessie constantly writes, draws, and paints. Her first feature-length screenplay, written in February 2006 only took her 9 days! It's listed under 'Writing' and is called Revelations.
From 2003-2006 Jessie attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Arts in New Jersey, receiving a degree in 2D Animation. Previous to this, at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, she was a theatre major. In 2012, Jessie graduated from UAF with a BA in History with a European emphasis.
Jessie spent a little time as the Alaska State Director for MUFON.
Currently, Jessie is working on preparing for her first bodybuilding competition - hopefully in figure or physique (depends on how she ends up looking). While hitting the gym all the time, she is also currently working on 2 new books. A book on having a healthy lifestyle (a surprise book; it just happened). Her first novel with a working title of Night Blooms of Damascus.
Interests include: pirates, traveling, European and US History, coffee, costuming, Halloween, horror films, the paranormal and occult, bangsian fantasy, steampunk, late-70s British punk rock, new wave/dark wave music, rock n' roll, comic books (X-Men and Batman), mythology and folklore, Egyptian history, being out on the ocean, raising her personal vibrations, conspiracies, chemistry, human anatomy, visiting zoos and museums, and trying new foods.
