Ep.2 Gervase of Tilbury’s Skyships

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 Podcast
It 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. From ancient sky wars to modern close encounters, each episode takes listeners on a journey through some of the most mysterious and compelling cases in human history. Whether it's a well-documented military sighting or an eerie village legend whispered across generations, Brief Encounters delivers each story with atmosphere, depth, and cinematic storytelling. Episodes are short and binge-worthy — perfect for curious minds on the go. In just 5 to 10 minutes, listeners are pulled into carefully researched accounts that blend historical context, eyewitness testimony, and chilling details. The series moves between eras and continents, uncovering not only the famous cases you've heard of, but also the forgotten incidents that deserve a closer look. Each story is treated with respect, skepticism, and wonder — offering both seasoned enthusiasts and casual listeners something fresh to consider. Whether it’s a 15th-century sky battle over Europe, a cryptid sighting in a remote forest, or a modern-day abduction report from rural America, Brief Encounters is your guide through the shadows of our world — and the stories that refuse to be explained.
