This week, returning guest Charles Lear joins AP and guest co-host Blackwolf John Oates for a lighthearted discussion of the state of UFOlogy in the 1980s, and how it influenced the 90s and beyond. In Charles' first appearance on the show, the focus was on his book The Flying Saucer Investigators, where this one focuses more on Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens: The Emergence of the Popular Modern UFO Mythos in the Late 20th Century. Charles, Blackwolf, and AP discuss figures such as Bill Moore, Richard Doty, Richard Hoagland, Ray Stanford, Art Bell, Whitley Strieber, and many more voices who added to the crazy cacophony of 80s UFOlogy.
Discussed also is the TV special UFO Cover-Up? Live!, early internet forums, Deep Underground Military Bases, Roswell, the legacy of Coast to Coast AM, and controversial figures such as David Jacobs and Wendelle Stevens. It was a fast-paced and joke filled chat, and a celebration of weirdness in the form of conspiracy and UFO cultural relics.
