Exploring Childhood Memories of Extraterrestrial Encounters and UFO Sightings in Linda Smith's Journey

This week I'm reading Marc Hartzman's book 'We Are Not Alone: The Extraordinary History of UFOs and Aliens Invading Our Hopes, Fears, and Fantasies'.After decades of cover-ups and denials, in a June 2021 report, the US government finally admitted what many people already knew: yes, UFOs are real, and no, we don’t know what (or who) they are. Writer and historian Marc Hartzman separates fact from fiction and provides a comprehensive tour through the skies, including:UFO sightings, from the famous to the obscure Alien abductions, including the Betty and Barney Hill abduction and the Pascagoula abductionAncient aliens, from Biblical astronauts to the alien architects behind the pyramidsScientific evidence, including the “Wow!” radio signal and the interstellar ‘Oumuamua objectCover-ups and conspiracies, including the Roswell Incident and Area 51Governmental and military findings, from Project Blue Book to reports of UFOs at nuclear weapons sitesDeeply researched and highly entertaining, We Are Not Alone will inform and enchant anyone who’s ever doubted that we are really alone in the universe.BioABCnews.com has called Marc Hartzman "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre" and George Noory from Coast to Coast AM said he's "as bizarre as Robert Ripley." Hartzman considers both high compliments since his passion for the unusual started with Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the annual Guinness World Records books during his youth. In addition to his books about UFOs, ghosts, Mars, Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, weird things on eBay, sideshow performers, and unorthodox messages from God, Hartzman has written for Mental Floss, HuffPost, AOL Weird News, AllThatsInteresting.com, The Morbid Anatomy Online Journal, and Bizarre magazine. He's discussed oddities on CNN, MSNBC, Ripley’s Radio, History Channel’s The UnXplained, the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum, and dozens of podcasts.More of his love for the unusual can be found on his site, WeirdHistorian.com.

This week I am reading from Karl Svozil's book 'UFOs: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: Observations, Explanations and Speculations'.Unidentified phenomena in space, in the Earth's atmosphere, and in waters are too important to leave their exploration to the military and scientific laypersons. Their proper scientific study is important for a variety of reasons; in particular, scientists and the public at large need to know the basic facts, to be informed about the way evidence is recorded, and to understand the difference been reliable evidence and fiction, as well as between plausible explanations and fantasy.With this objective, the book surveys the history of UFO observations, the variety of recorded phenomena, and recounts the efforts of investigative commissions and their published findings.Although wild rumors are demystified in the process, this is not an exercise in rumor-bashing. An open and at the same time critical mindset is the key. Many narratives and hypothesis appear implausible relative to our present state of knowledge; but this alone should not lead to their outright exclusion. Thus the author also pays attention to UFO sightings that have so far eluded explanation in terms of known physics or meteorology. Here the reader will encounter some of the more speculative but scientifically tenable proposals, for example, relating to sudden zigzag motion without apparent inertia or recognizable propulsion, yet always with a clear guide to their plausibility. Last but not least, the book outlines plans and suggestions for future research capable of revealing the existence and intentions of extraterrestrial intelligences, outer-space engineers, or technologies so far known only from science fiction.BioKarl Svozil (born 18 December 1956 in Vienna, Austria) is an Austrian physicist educated at the University of Vienna and Heidelberg University. Visiting scholar at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley, US (1982–1983), the Lebedev Institute of the Moscow State University, and the Ioffe Institute, St. Petersburg (1986). Docent in Theoretical Physics at the Vienna Technical University. Ao. Univ. Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Vienna Technical University. External Researcher at the Centre for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science[1] of the University of Auckland.Research in quantum theory, applications of computability theory, algorithmic information theory, constructive mathematics (in Errett Bishop's sense) in theoretical physics, equilibrium dynamics.Amazon link https://tinyurl.com/3ux346a4https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

This week I'm reading from G. O. Turner's book 'UFO Science: Secret New Physics, Vehicles, & UAP'.What Physics are Driving UAP in our Atmosphere?The truth may not be as hard to understand as you think!Are you ready to explore the latest theories and evidence behind these incredible craft? Then this book is for you! Uncover the secrets of alien reproduction vehicles, declassified Pentagon incidents, and much more. With this UFO guidebook, you'll have a compendium of emerging physics and a deeper understanding of our place in the universe.• Gain a comprehensive overview of the current state of UFO physics• Learn mind-bending theories from scientists like Salvatore Pais, Jack Sarfatti, and Bob Lazar• Explore case studies built around declassified Pentagon incidents• Discover the implications of these mysteries for our place within the universeDon't miss out on this fascinating UFO Science compendium. The secrets are yours… if you act now.BioYou might expect to learn of my advanced degrees in theoretical physics. Or how I’m an expert in geospatial relativity and high-energy particles here. I could present my honorary tenure with European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). As long as I did all of that with my tongue in cheek, you’d likely realize I was having my way with word-smithing the fantastic.You see, I’m a novelist. Rather than having an academic history in the Sciences, I started with a graphic design degree. Yeah. That was me doodling up the cover and several illustrations within. I parlayed that into a television production career. Over the course of the last twenty years, I advanced into animation, scripting, and then as a Producer/Director way out in the middle of the Pacific. Physics has held a fascination for me. During college, I had enjoyed several “topics in physics” elective classes. They didn’t relate to my degree in the least, but engaged a distinctive side of the brain all the same. I felt my intellectual draw could bridge a divide between their cerebral academic world and the one we everyday folk sip Starbucks in. Not to mention, if Neil deGrasse Tyson isn’t inclined to step up, then I’m happy fill that vacuum. We are laypeople. And if I can unravel these heady concepts into the realm of what’s possible, then that has value for all of us. Does that make me a UFOlogist? Yes, and no. A UFOlogist is pretty much anyone who studies the topic and shares their research. Just like journalists, there isn’t a UFOlogy certification. On top of that, those that seek to foster the stigma are more than pleased to slather pseudoscience over the term. In that respect, I’d not consider myself any sort of ‘ologist, more of a layperson translator. I’m seeking to advance understanding. At the same time I’d like to push back against the disinformation that overwhelms the topic. As a first time non-fiction author, I’m curious to see if this guidebook will spark something. Should it catch fire, I have plenty more in mind to continue this shared exploration.Amazon link https://tinyurl.com/th4buju3https://www.goturnerwrites.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP

This week I'm reading an extract from Tina Bird's book 'The Bonded – The Truth About Alien Abduction'.This is a true account of alien abduction and contact that has been fully investigated in the UK. This stunning, very impressive case of contact has been a lifetime for Tina, she has been interviewed by Ufologists from all around the world. People have often asked her, what it is like to be abducted, well she tells you to know in her own words and shocking detail.BioTina has had many ET encounters throughout her life with her first experience occurring when she was 6 years old.

This week on The Alien UFO Podcast Philip Mantle is talking about his book WITHOUT CONSENT: Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind in the UK.Philip Mantle is an international UFO researcher, lecturer and broadcaster. His books have been published in six different languages around the world. He is the former Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association and former MUFON representative for England. Philip has written articles and features for numerous publications around the world and has been both editor and assistant editor of high street UFO publications. He is the founder of FLYING DISK PRESS and works from his home in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.This revised edition of 2020 contains new case files, photographs, documents and artwork.This classic book from the 1990's is re-published here due to popular demand. WITHOUT CONSENT was the first book to concentrate on accounts of alien abduction in the UK and as a result remains a classic of its kind. This unique book takes a close look at the alien abduction experience and treats it in a logical and serious manner. All aspects of the alien abduction phenomena is detailed along with a look at some of the main theories to try and explain these accounts. The book has a long list of alien abduction and missing time case histories many of which are publisher here for the very first time. WITHOUT CONSENT takes an honest look at one of the most controversial areas of UFO research and in the end leaves you the reader to make up your own mind.About the authors:Carl Nagaitis was along standing Fleet Street journalist working on many of the UK’s national newspapers before setting up his own public relations company. He now lives in retirement with his wife and family in Cheshire.Amazon link, https://tinyurl.com/y2csmd3hhttp://flyingdiskpress.blogspot.com/https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-alien-ufo-podcasthttp://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alien-ufo-podcast--5270801/support. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP
