Aliens & Ancient Mysteries | Ep51

In a brilliant stroke, Keith Thompson takes a subject usually confined to sensational tabloids and reveals its surprising literary richness, intellectual energy, and symbolic depths. By offering a new, open-ended perspective which avoids the dogmatism of true believers and debunkers alike, Angels and Aliens invites readers to enter a fascinating world with profound implications for our understanding of the human spirit.It was Carl Jung who first spoke of the UFO phenomenon as "A modern myth in the making," and Joseph Campbell who insisted that the first function of myths is "opening mind and heart to the utter wonder of all being." Now Keith Thompson makes it possible for us to share that sense of wonder as he explores the UFO against the timeless backdrop of visionary experience: angelic vision, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, religious miracles, and folkloric encounters with fairies.Angels and Aliens offers a compelling interpretive history of the UFO phenomenon, beginning in 1947 when the first reports came in describing nine disc-shaped objects moving in the sky “like a saucer skipping water.” In Thompson’s even-handed telling it is difficult to say which is more outrageous: the stories of temptresses from outer space disembarking for impregnation by sexually self-confidant farmers, or the government’s ham-handed explanations for ambiguous events that nonetheless did take place, having been confirmed by both radar and independent visual sightings.Thompson argues that the need for clear distinctions in the Western mind obscures the rich sense in which the UFO phenomenon becomes not less real but more so for its mythic, metaphoric, allegorical dimension. No matter whether the reported sightings were caused by literal aliens from another galaxy or summoned from some poorly understood dimension of the human psyche, we may come to fathom the distinctively modern longing to recover lost intimacy with deeper currents of the universe.Angels and Aliens prepares us for the provocative conclusion that, where mind and matter intersect, what we term reality may in fact be a limited spectrum within a much larger realm of possibilities.BioKeith Thompson is an author, independent journalist, talk radio host, former TV talk show host, and former U.S. Senate staff member. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, and San Francisco Chronicle, Idaho Statesman. He is the author of Angels and Aliens ("the most fascinating book written on the subject" says SF Chronicle) and The UFO Paradox.https://www.thompsonatlarge.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8V6KWY7 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

Flying Saucers, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Anomalous Objects, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Phantom Airships, Chariots of the Gods  whatever you call them  strange things have haunted our skies since the dawn of time. Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they nonterrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with ‘ordinary’ people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too farfetched or ‘crazy.’His decadeslong research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a lifechanging poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations.  Whatever the answer, if there is any one answer, this is a fascinating look at how UFO experiences have evolved in the UK and reflect similar worldwide changes in our relationship with the unknown.BioNigel Watson has researched and investigated historical and contemporary reports of UFO sightings. In collaboration with Granville Oldroyd and David Clarke, he has written several articles about phantom airships seen over Britain in 1909 and 1913. Their comprehensive study of the 1913 airship scare was published by the Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR) in 1988.A wider survey of these historical reports is contained in his e-book titled, The Origin of UFOs: Phantom Airships 1807 to 1917 (selfhelpguides.com) and he has produced another e-book titled The Flying Saucer Cinema (selfhelpguides.com). This looks at how the images and stories of spaceships and aliens have evolved on our cinema screens over the past 100 years.He is the author of Portraits of Alien Encounters (1990), Supernatural Spielberg (with Darren Slade, 1992) and editor/writer of The Scareship Mystery: A Survey of Phantom Airship Scares, 1909- 1918 (2000).He has written for numerous books, publications and websites , including How It Works, All About Space, All About History, Aquila, Fortean Times, Wired, Flipside, Strange Magazine, Beyond, Paranormal Magazine, History Today, Alien Worlds, Magonia, The Unexplained, Flying Saucer Review, UFO Matrix and UFO Magazine.http://www.talkingpix.co.uk/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FGHRL111 https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

In this explosive follow-up to The Meadow Project, Trey Hudson takes you deeper into the shadows of one of America’s most bizarre hotspots for the paranormal. Dubbed “the South’s Skinwalker Ranch,” this mysterious patch of land rivals its Utah counterpart in mind-bending phenomena: UFOs, bizarre entities, missing time, disembodied voices, portals, and other Unexplained Terrestrial Events (UTEs) that defy logic—and terrify seasoned investigators.But this time, it’s not just about the Meadow.Through extensive research and boots-on-the-ground expeditions, Hudson uncovers unsettling commonalities between the Meadow and other infamous locations—like the eerie Stardust Ranch, the enigmatic Marley Woods, and the legendary Bradshaw Ranch. Disturbing patterns emerge: vanishing beings, cubes from the ether, ghostly figures caught on film, and physical effects that linger long after the encounters end.You’ll witness hypnotic regressions that reveal abductions too bizarre to fabricate, chilling thermal images of creatures half-formed in another reality, and a closer look at the “boxes” that defy explanation—appearing from nowhere, seen by multiple credible witnesses, and caught on camera.Return to the Meadow isn’t just a sequel.

What happens when ordinary people meet the extraordinary? In Strange Light, author Edson Freeman gathers riveting firsthand accounts of lives upended by events that defy explanation — UFO encounters, near‑death experiences, psychic awakenings, startling synchronicities, and mysterious lights dancing over the Marfa desert.Spanning North America, Australia, the UK, India, and Japan, these personal narratives include prophetic dreams that came true, conversations with departed loved ones, and face‑to‑face meetings with non‑human intelligences. Freeman lets each witness speak in their own voice: no sensationalism, no dismissal-just the raw, unfiltered moment when the boundaries of consensus reality give way.Readers curious about consciousness studies, paranormal phenomena, and fringe science will find an empathetic yet pragmatic exploration of the questions mainstream culture struggles to ask. If you appreciate the investigative rigor of Leslie Kean, the human warmth of John Mack, or the sense of wonder in Chris Bledsoe, Strange Light invites you to rethink what you thought was impossible.BioEDSON FREEMAN is an IT veteran whose day job revolves around pinning down how-did-that-happen questions inside missioncritical systems. Raised in suburban Ohio on a steady diet of Douglas Adams and mediocre sci-fi, he grew into a firm empiricist, regarding UFOs, near-death visions, and prophetic dreams as curiosities, not convictions. That stance began to wobble in recent years. A series of highprofile leaks and discoveries triggered his curiosity, and after collecting raw, sincere testimonies, Freeman became convinced that “extraordinary claims” sometimes come from unusually grounded witnesses. Strange Light is his first book—a field report from that newly opened terrain. He currently resides in North Carolina, where he balances database tuning with woodworking, vegetable gardening, and the occasional impromptu skywatch. He comes from a long line of Edsons and believes that healthy skepticism and radical wonder can, and should, coexist in the same sentence.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF65MJ2Xhttps://strangelightbook.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP
