The Paracast

Morgan Knudsen returns to The Paracast. She’ll be passing along words of wisdom and filling us in on her latest adventures in the realm of the paranormal. During this segment, she’ll talk about reports that people who have received major organ transplants may sometimes inherit personality characteristics from the donors. And when a medium claims to be in contact with a deceased relative, are they actually reading the minds of their clients? Morgan Knudsen has been involved in the world of paranormal phenomenon for over 18 years. Her story began with a great great grandfather, Dr. Albert Durrant Watson, who was the president and founder of the Association for Psychical Research of Canada in 1918, which was the first paranormal association developed in Canadian history.

Gene and Randall introduce long-time UFO researcher Jan L. Aldrich, who, since 1995, has run Project 1947, a research effort funded by CUFOS, FUFOR, and MUFON, now called the UFO Research Coalition. He has visited over 150 libraries, universities, archives, museums, and historical societies in 46 states and Canadian Provinces. Over 300 contributors worldwide have submitted over 10,000 pages of personal accounts, newspaper clippings, reports, and government documents to Project 1947. Project 1947 continues and welcomes further contributions in the collection, research, and analysis of pre-1947, 1947, and early UFO era material, and presentation of results of these efforts. Jan resides in Canterbury, Connecticut.

The Paracast continues its cutting-edge coverage of the Pentagon UAP Task Force Report with UFO lobbyist Stephen Bassett. But it’s not just another summary of the document, but plenty of information on its background, and what Stephen feels involves the background behind the creation of that group. Will it really lead to disclosure, or just more unrealized expectations? Stephen is the executive director of Paradigm Research Group founded in 1996 to end what he describes as a government imposed embargo on the truth behind the UFO phenomenon. He has spoken to audiences around the world about the implications of disclosure by world governments of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.

Noted Canadian UFO researcher/scientist Chris Rutkowski delivers a no-holds-barred reality check about the recently-released Pentagon UAP Task Force report to the U.S. Congress. Does it satisfy the needs of people hoping for UFO disclosure, or do its uncertain conclusions simply add to the confusion? Since the mid-1970s, Chris has written about his investigations and research on UFOs, for which he is best known. However, he has been involved in many other writing and media projects for more than 30 years, including TV specials (The Monster of Lake Manitoba, 1996), planetarium shows (Moonlight Serenade, 1983, and Amateur Nights, 1989) and newspaper columns (Strange Tales, in the Northern Times, Thompson, Manitoba,1984 to 1985). This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Gene and Randall present researcher and author Tim Swartz, who will talk to us about the latest scuttlebutt in the UFO field, including the first report from the Pentagon UAP Task Force, and provide remembrances of the late Tim “Mr. UFO” Beckley, with whom he worked closely for many years. Tim is an Indiana native and Emmy-Award winning television producer/videographer. He is also the author of a number of popular books including “The Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla,” “America’s Strange and Supernatural History,” and “Time Travel: Fact Not Fiction!” Tim is also the writer and editor of the online newsletter Conspiracy Journal; a free, weekly e-mail newsletter, considered essential reading by paranormal researchers worldwide.

UFO researcher and historian Curt Collins returns to talk about the implications of the Pentagon UAP Task Force’s “waffling” report that, according to published reports, neither confirmed nor denied an ET origin for the phenomenon. In 2015 Curt was on the investigative team, the Roswell Slides Research Group, which exposed the BeWitness alien photo fiasco. More recently, he launched The Saucers That Time Forgot with Claude Falkstrom, focused on unearthing “tales that UFO history has overlooked or would rather forget.” Curt lives in the southern United States, near Jackson, Mississippi.

Gene and Randall present the return of Gary Voorhis Jr., a firsthand witness to part of the the U.S.S. Nimitz “tic-tac” UFO events during the week of the 14th of November 2004. He was a fire controlman and Aegis Computer/ CEC technician onboard the U.S.S. Princeton. In addition to recounting his experience and background, he provides fascinating insights into the modern sightings that even the U.S. government acknowledges as something real. There will also be comments about the early reports of the work of the Pentagon UAP Task Force and whether it helps fulfill hopes for disclosure. Gary is President and Co-Founder of UAPx.

Author and researcher Preston Dennett joins Gene and Randall to discuss his latest book, “Wondrous: 25 True UFO Encounters.” He’ll report more incredible cases involving possible UFO contact and offer his views on whether the Pentagon UAP Task Force really means potential disclosure, at long last. Preston remains a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of more than two dozen books and more than 100 articles about UFOs and the paranormal. An avowed advocate of the extraterrestrial theory for UFOs, Preston asks: Who are they visiting our planet? What is their agenda? Are they friendly or hostile?
