141: The 1968 Canadian Humanoid Wave with Todd Purse
In episode 140 we looked at a wave of UFO activity that occurred in 1967. Many reported seeing strange red lights and metallic structured craft, and other objects, but few humanoid sightings were reported.

134: The History of Alien Abductions, Part 6: Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs & the Shaping of a Phenomenon
CW: Sexual abuseWhen it comes to the alien abduction phenomenon, no two figures have played a greater roll in its shaping than Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs.

It was through Hopkins that it became an intergenerational phenomenon, that its captors all look...

130: The History of Alien Abductions, Part 4: Obscure 70s Abductions with Cole Herrold

The Pascagoula Abduction for instance was a media sensation that occurred during a very prominent UFO/humanoid flap. It’s also the first year that a handful of abduction cases were reported. Interestingly, they all occurred within 10 days of each other.In 1974, The Carl Higdon abducti...

The alien abduction phenomenon more often than not seems like a purely American phenomenon, dominated by white voices. I do not say this to diminish anyone's experience, but to lift up others.This episode about the question ...
