• David Marler's Mission to Save UFO History

  Ryan and Suzanne are joined by David Marler, Executive Director of the National UFO Historical Records Center (NUFOHRC), to uncover how the world’s largest repository of UFO/UAP documents and files came to be. Marler stressed why preserving decades of UFO history is more important now more than ever and how the archives are helping researchers, journalists, and even the United States Government gain access to information on UFOs and UAP. You'll also hear never-before-heard interview clips with Captain Gerry Irwin, a U.S. Army officer at the heart of one of the strangest UFO encounters in history, and Major Jesse Marcel Sr., the man forever linked to the infamous Roswell UFO crash. These rare voices, preserved through David’s tireless work of obtaining documents and audio files, shed new light on some of the most significant events in UFO history.

• The Banbury Ballyhoo: A Haunting Encounter on an Oxfordshire Road

  Zelia Edgar brings us to England in the 1970s. At 2:30 AM, long-haul truck driver, Len Delman, was navigating his lorry into Banbury, Oxfordshire, when something terrifying appeared.

Moments later, his headlights revealed a tall, otherworldly being staring back at him. In this chilling episode, Zelia explores the Banbury Ballyhoo—one of Oxfordshire’s most mysterious and unnerving encounters. Was it a ghostly apparition, an alien entity, or something far stranger?

• The Watcher in the Wheat | Just Another Tin Foil Hat

  Zelia Edgar brings us back to September of 1954. On a quiet farm in Alabama, 12-year-old John Jacob Swaim was running a tractor across his family’s fields when something caught his eye. Standing in the wheat was a small, unnerving figure — a strange entity with pointed ears and a sharp nose, crouched down, silently watching him. In this episode, we explore one of the most chilling and overlooked encounters of the 1950s UFO wave. Was Swaim’s “Watcher in the Wheat” an alien, a folkloric trickster, or something far stranger? Join us as we peel back the layers of this eerie case and examine how it fits into the larger history of high-strangeness encounters. If you enjoy stories of UFOs, close encounters, and strange beings in unexpected places, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
