This Week's Episode: Gene and Randall welcome that ever-prolific author on all things paranormal, Nick Redfern. Here Nick begins the episode with a strange story about a newspaper reporter who died, perhaps under mysterious circumstances, while en route to cover a flying saucer convention in the California desert. It was the 1950s, with Cold War paranoia rampant, and the FBI was building dossiers on such contactees as George Adamski and George Van Tassel in order to seek evidence of possible communist influence. Indeed, was the original message of peace and brotherhood all a cover for efforts to convert loyal Americans to communism? Those were indeed curious times.

After The Paracast -- Available exclusively for Paracast+ subscribers on February 9: Gene and Randall present Part II of our interview with Nick Redfern, which began on the February 9, 2020 episode of The Paracast. Here, Nick discusses the curious case of Albert K. Bender, who had an experience with three Men In Black that helped start a legend, and it all took a surprising turn when he wrote a book, "Flying Saucers and the Three Men," about it. You'll also hear more details about the mysterious Collins Elite, a government organization that believes in demonic UFOs. And then there's contactee Orfeo Angelucci, who was one of the few flying saucer contactees from the 1950s who evidently doesn't have an available FBI file on his activities.

That “Other” Paracast Radio Show
By Gene Steinberg
After Randall and I complete an episode of The Paracast, we still have another show to do: After The Paracast.
It’s an exclusive feature of The Paracast+ and available strictly to subscribers. At first, it was intended to be a post-game sort of podcast, where we’d talk about that week’s show and maybe plans for the future.
Over time, that changed — a lot. We added some exclusive interviews with guests who weren’t on the regular episode of The Paracast. And, just as important, we also used After The Paracast as a vehicle to expand on an interview that began on the “free” show.
So in many cases, our guests are willing to stay around — or rejoin us on another day — so we can pick up where we left off.
What this means is that After The Paracast has become essential for you to enjoy the complete Paracast experience.
So I’m adding a list of the After The Paracast episodes we’ve done since December, 2019. If you want to see more, please visit: After The Paracast — What You've Missed
If you’re ready to get in on the action and sign up for The Paracast+, please visit: http://www.theparacast.plus
And here’s that list of recent shows:
February 9, 2020
Gene and Randall present Part II of our interview with Nick Redfern, which began on the February 9, 2020 episode of The Paracast. Here, Nick discusses the curious case of Albert K. Bender, who had an experience with three Men In Black that helped start a legend, and it all took a surprising turn when he wrote a book, "Flying Saucers and the Three Men," about it. You'll also hear more details about the mysterious Collins Elite, a government organization that believes in demonic UFOs.

February 2, 2020
Gene and Randall welcome David Stone, an active forum member and paranormal theorist, to continue the discussion that began on the February 2, 2020 episode of The Paracast. During this episode, the discussion includes the possibilities of life in outer space, dealing with possible alien technology from landed spacecraft, and the possible involvement of the CIA and other intelligence agencies, in infiltrating and spreading disinformation among contactees and their followers. David also has some unfavorable things to say about Wikipedia, and its potential value as a mostly accurate information resource. And what about those skeptical factions that deliberately alter listings, over and over again, to fit their own beliefs?
January 26, 2020
Gene and Randall present Part II of an interview that began with journalist Leslie Kean on the January 26, 2020 episode of The Paracast. In this segment, Leslie participates in a discussion about the possible UFO and paranormal connection. Speaking about her 2017 book, "Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife," Leslie also talks briefly about ghosts or apparitions, near-death experience, and the possibilities of reincarnation. Leslie is working with a production company to produce a six-part documentary based on this book.
January 19, 2020
Gene and Randall present a UFO sighting update from Special Correspondent William Puckett. This week, William covers several sightings, which include a report of missing time, a strange presence, and a car crash from St. Claire, MI in October of 2018. He also covers sightings from Hampstead, NC on January 2, 2020, South San Francisco, CA on January 14, 2020, Newton, Abbot, Devon, UK on January 3, 2020 and Gainesville, FL on March 11, 2018. You’ll also hear Part II of an interview with Jeff Belanger, paranormal author and adventurer, who tells more fascinating ghost stories. They include so-called “ghost pianos,” including one that allegedly occurred in a lighthouse. He also talks about ghostly phenomena at the Green Mountain Inn, in Stowe, VT. And why, indeed, do ghosts tend to wear clothing? Do their garments somehow survive a transition to the afterlife?
January 12, 2020
This week, Special Correspondent William Puckett presents more recent UFO sightings. They include: A report of a long object with a fiery glow from Hobart, IN on August 23, 2019, a circular object seen in Slidell, LA on January 6, 2020, a silvery object spotted following a commercial jet in Hampstead, NC on January 2, 2020, and a star-like object that split-up and rejoined itself in Hanceville, AL on January 6, 2020. In a conversation that began on the January 12, 2020 episode of The Paracast, Gary Voorhis, Jr., a witness to the 2004 Nimitz “tic-tac” UFO, joins Gene and Randall to talk about possible spoofing of UFOs. He also discusses plans of the UAP Expedition Group, of which he is Vice President, to take a voyage to the area of the coast of southern California, where the Nimitz episode occurred. The group is seeking evidence of other paranormal encounters.
January 5, 2020
Special Correspondent William Puckett presented another quartet of sightings, that included a report about three burning orange balls in Scottsdale, AZ on New Year's Day 2020, a silent low-flying diamond object reported in Gainesville, GA on December 31, 2019, a vintage case involving two cigar-shaped purple objects that changed color, observed in Bend, OR in 1969, and a case from Alberta Beach, Alberta, Canada on November 26, 2019, where a kitchen was suddenly lit up by a possible UFO. Long time UFO author/researchers Jerome Clark and Chris Rutkowski join in to talk about the possible meanings of UFO abductions, and the fact that UFOs are getting serious attention at academic institutions.
December 29, 2019
This week, Special Correspondent William Puckett focuses on two notable cases among the sighting reports he has received. The “sighting of the week” occurred in Frackville, PA on June 29, 2019 and involved a hovering dark metallic object. William also talks about a possible abduction episode from Stout, OH, dating back to 1998, where a couple was taken aboard a UFO and given the “usual” physical examination. Ghost hunter Jill Foote-Shelley, from St. Croix Paranormal, continues the discussion that began on the December 28, 2019 episode of The Paracast. She tells about ghosts in such places as an infirmary, a “castle house,” a ship, and a dance studio.
December 22, 2019
Special Correspondent William Puckett presents another quartet of recent UFO events. They include a report of an object with four separated lights in Conway, AR on December 17, 2019, the sighting of three reddish-orange lights in New Vienna, OH on December 15, 2019, a glowing flying object seen in San Pedro, CA on December 10, 2019, and a report from Cancun, Mexico, on December 8, 2019, involving an unknown object discovered in a photo. UFO disclosure activist Stephen Bassett provides an update on his work since 2017, which included a visit and Russian media interviews in Moscow. He also speculates on the possible impact if and when the existence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth is revealed. Note: There is background noise due to Stephen speaking with Gene and Randall from his car.
December 15, 2019
This week Special Correspondent William Puckett continues to present recent and vintage UFO cases. They include a report from Worcester, MA on December 7, 2019, involving a bright floating object that morphed into smaller shapes, a white "streaked" object found in a photo background from Ocala, FL on December 9, 2019, a case from the 1970s, near Fort Bragg Army Base, NC, which may involve missing time, and the sighting of a multicolored star-like object seen in Kona, HI on December 8, 2019. Skeptical paranormal researcher Bryan Bonner, from the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society joins in the discussion of these reports, and then talks with Gene and Randall about examining the credibility of some sightings and exposing fakes.
December 8, 2019
In another extended segment, Special Correspondent William Puckett discusses another quartet of UFO cases. They include a vintage sighting from February, 1959 in Fort Riley, KS, where a veteran saw a flying disk with multicolored lights, a report about a triangular object and other phenomena seen in Portland, OR on October 28, 2019, a goldfish-shaped object, the size of a VW Beetle, seen in Jamestown, CA on November 19, 2019, and a report of a bright white light seen in Deforest, WI on November 22, 2019. William also joins Gene and Randall in discussions about whether the Roswell crash of 1947 might have involved a Skyhook balloon, and some observations about the case of Captain Thomas F. Mantell, who died on January 7, 1948 as the result of a crash that occurred after he attempted to pursue a UFO — or was it just a balloon!
December 1, 2019
Gene and Randall present an extended segment with Special Correspondent William Puckett, who discusses another quartet of UFO cases. They include: Yet another UFO, this time a vertical bar of light, observed in a ring doorbell video. This one occurred on November 24, 2019 in Portland, OH, a report of a triangular multicolored light observed in Dallas, OR on November 21, 2019, very bright lights moving northeast in a straight line in Boulder, CO on November 25, 2019, and reports of 20 to 30 starlike objects moving northeast in a straight line in Lakefield, Ontario, Canada. The last two appear to be among a surge of UFO sightings reported in the wake of the launch of SpaceX Starlink communication satellites that began in May of 2019. These satellites, in low orbit, are expected to begin to provide broadband Internet beginning in 2020. Astronomers are concerned that they will disrupt ground and space observations.
