The Mysterious "Victor"

Episode Notes In this episode, we’re going to look at “Flying Saucers and the Father’s Plan” by Laura Munro. This is an interesting book; it’s part Contactee tale and part commentary on other Contactees (which was more rare than one might expect). It was published by Gray Barker’s Saucerian Press and, thanks to Barker’s record keeping, we have some interesting insights into the book’s development as well. We previous covered Laura Munro in our episode on FBI investigations into flying saucer clubs in Detroit, so check out that episode if you haven’t!

Laura Mundo and the Father's Plan

The Saucer Life is a podcast exploring the history and lore of flying saucer and UFO culture, running the gamut from Contactees to the Men In Black and from Underground Bases to Abductions.

Fresh look back on the incredibly complex and messy twists and turns of ‘ufology

Insightful POV on UFO history!

I am listening to every episode, with the hopes that I’ll have a PhD in UFO History at the end.

The Saucer Life

Episode Notes In this episode, we're looking at "The Controllers"--an essay/white paper written by Martin Cannon in the early 90s. It concerns the possible connections between government mind control experimentation and the alien abduction phenomenon. I've linked to lots of stuff below, so be sure to check it out if this is a strand of the--broadly construed--"alien" "encounter" mystery that you find interesting. Me, I find it terrifying.

Lights, Camera, Reinhold!

In this episode, we look at some interesting accounts from 1973: Year of the Humanoids, a report issued by the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). Their website is a treasure trove of information about cases you’ve heard of and cases that have slipped under the radar of most saucer fiends. You can download your own […]

Year of the Humanoids

You can’t talk about the Saucer Life in the 1990s without at least a nod in the direction of the “alien abduction” phenomenon. In this encounter we’re going to be looking at two very different interpretations of the meaning of these experiences from that decade. Note- I’m using some new equipment and haven’t quite got […]

Little Gray Men

Welcome to Series 5: The 90s Strike Back! In this episode, we’ll examine the work of Bill Cooper, perhaps the key figure in the blending of UFO and political conspiracy culture in the 1990s. Hang on, this”ll be wild. It’s longer than usual, but I think you’ll find it’s pretty action-packed. Despite the length, we […]

Why do Bird(-like Aliens) Suddenly Appear?

This is the talk I gave on September 30 at the 50th Anniversary Festival commemorating the Shag Harbour UFO Incident in Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia. A few notes. First, the ending is a bit rushed and lacking detail near the end. For reasons beyond my control, what was supposed to be a 75 minute talk […]

Bonus Encounter 1: A History of UFO Crashes

In this episode, we’re going to explore some of the earliest efforts by the American military establishment to investigate and understand UFOs. They started doing so just about as soon as Kenneth Arnold sighted the first modern UFO and they probably haven’t stopped since, you know, strange things in the sky might be concerning to […]

The Mysterious Mitchell Sisters

We finish up our “90s Strike Back” series with The Hollow(ed) Earth, an examination of the explosion of “Underground Alien Base” tales that proliferated during the 1990s, specifically, the supposed base at Dulce, New Mexico. Battles between brave Americans and evil grays, shady suicides, confusing pseudonyms, it’s all here! After you’re finished listening, here’s […]

The Hollow(ed) Earth

Bill English

Episode Notes William S. "Bill" English is, maybe, the forgotten "Bill" of 80s and 90s UFOlogy. his claims were extraordinary. His story was exciting and entertaining. Featuring clips from some classic UFO radio programming, and from the infamous 1989 MUFON conference, this was a fun episode to put together and we think it's a bit of a sleeper. Special thanks to some folks who pointed us in some directions and provided some background: Adam Gorightly, Jack Brewer of the UFO Trail, and one of our behind-the-scenes heroes, Jack Shepherd.

<h1>Episode Notes</h1> William S. "Bill" English is, maybe, the forgotten "Bill" of 80s and 90s UFOlogy. his claims were extraordinary. His story was exciting and entertaining. Featuring clips from some classic UFO radio programming, and from the infamous 1989 MUFON conference, this was a fun episode to put together and we think it's a bit of a sleeper.

The Secret Grudges of Bill English

We’re kicking off a series of stories about the intersections between flying saucers and…other stuff… a look at Bigfoot, Sasquatch, any variety of hairy creature. I can almost guarantee that you’ll hear Bigfoot stories, theories, and the like that you’ve not heard anywhere else. Some of the books and sites mentioned: The Eighth Tower by […]

Bigfeet from Space

Normal service has resumed here at Saucer Life Central, and today we’re looking at one of the most effective takedowns of George Adamski’s initial contactee claims (see Encounter 105 for some background on this, if you feel like you want it), the reaction from Adamski and, finally, we’ll take a quick look at Adamski’s continuing […]

Adamski Exposed! Or Not!

In this Encounter, we’ll take a look at the the entity known as Ashtar and the cast of extraterrestrial characters that he commands. From his emergence through the writings and teachings of George van Tassel, the development of the Ashtar “brand” to the concept’s evolution during the following decades, this is a fun jaunt through […]

Ashtar Watches Over Us

There’s a recent edition of Alternative 3 that had the participation of Leslie Watkins, so it’s probably as legit as you’ll get at an affordable price. It’s at Amazon, and linked above. A DVD of Alternative 3 is available, used, on Amazon. It’s also been put on Youtube. I heartily recommend Jim Keith’s Casebook on Alternative 3. There […]

Kelly-Goblinsville

In this episode, we begin the story of Dorothy Martin and her prophecies of cataclysms that would strike the world. She received these via channeled messages from the planet Clarion (Aura Rhanes was not involved!). It’s a sprawling story, so hang on!

Watch This, Don’t Watch That

The Flatwoods Monster appeared in Braxton County, West Virginia in September 1952, at the tail end of a summer full of flying saucers all over the United States. The bizarre sighting drew the attention of people from established saucer figure Donald Keyhoe to neophyte Gray Barker and, even today, the brief incident remains a tourist […]

“A Creature from the Blackest Memory of your Fears”

Are aliens demons? Are demons aliens? Does it matter? Is Hell a planet? Come along as we look at how some have answered these questions, mainly though the very fun Round Trip to Hell in a Flying Saucer, a 1955 Contactee pamphlet by Cecil Michael. Round Trip To Hell In A Flying Saucer: UFO Parasites […]
