Listener Feedback- The Mysterious RN Hernandez

The Saucer Life ·

2025/07/04

Episode NotesWe had a couple of really interesting emails/comments about the identity of the star of UFO Contact from Andromeda and I thought they were neat enough they deserved their own spot rather than sandwiched in the middle of another episode.

UFO Contact from Andromeda, Part 2

The Saucer Life ·

2025/06/13

Episode NotesWe’re finishing our exploration of the book UFO Contact from Andromeda by getting into the nuts and bolts (or not) of Lya’s message to the semi-mysterious Professor R.N. Hernandez! As a reminder, this book and its message seems to have had a bit of a confusing journey from experiencer to reader so for a rundown of that, be sure to check out part 1 of the story in the archives. You can find UFO Contact from Andromeda at Amazon as an ebook or you can buy a horrifically expensive used

UFO Contact from Andromeda, Part 1

The Saucer Life ·

2025/05/26

Episode NotesIt’s a Contact tale from Mexico, filtered through the typewriter of American UFO figure Wendelle Stevens. This is one of those contact stories that seems to have gotten very little attention in the broader UFO world so it’s a delight to be able to share it with you! In this first part, we’ll take a look at where the story came from and meet Professor R.N. Hernandez: a respected scientist who had his worldview expanded by a beautiful, alien woman named Lya.

The Saucer Life ·

2025/03/28

Episode NotesIn this episode, we’re starting our look at Volume 3, Issue 1 of UFO Magazine. This is an issue jam packed full of great UFO stories and history, including a key piece of the UFO Conspiracy narrative of the late 80s, the dawn of the Mr. Ed photos, and a surprising rabbit hole that led me to a “sonic xenolinguistics performance art group” (including this great number!)

The Saucer Life ·

2025/03/14

Episode NotesIt’s a rare Saucer Life interview! In this episode, we talk to author Gabriel Mckee about his new biography of Gray Barker: The Saucerian: UFOs, Men in Black, and the Unbelievable Life of Gray Barker. It comes out on April 22, 2025 and—having read an advance copy—I can say it is an astounding and thoroughly researched work. Here are some links to get the book: Amazon (this affiliate link helps the Saucer Life) The book’s page at MIT Press has links to get the book at a wide variety of

2024/09/27

Episode NotesIt’s the 7 ( and 1/12) anniversary of The Saucer Life! For the occasion, and in response to some messages I’ve received, I’m going to be revisiting my list of top ten important UFO books from four years ago. There are some changes to the list which will doubtless generate controversy (this may be an exaggeration). After listening, you can find the list and links to purchase (which benefit the show) here!

Art Gatti's Alien Sex Book

The Saucer Life ·

2024/09/13

Episode NotesArt Gatti’s 1978 book UFO Encounters of the Fourth Kind? is a tour de force of supposed alien-human sexual encounters. Going all the way back to the dawn of time, Gatti makes the case for long-term alien sexual interference with humanity. I’d like to say he does it with tact and class but that would be a lie. Listen along as we cover the book, detail some of his very 1970s turns-of-phrase, and talk about the very interesting story of Cynthia Applegate, since Gatti doesn’t spend enough

The Zine Scene- Flying Saucers, February 1969

The Saucer Life ·

2024/09/04

Episode NotesIt's another installment in our Zine Scene series! This time, we're looking at the February, 1969 issue of Flying Saucers Magazine. This was a long-running publication from the prolific Ray Palmer, who co-founded Fate Magazine and brought us the dubious glory of the Richard Shaver hollow Earth tales. This issue is rife with interesting ads, a condemnation of the Allende Letters, and more! Subscribe to our Patreon for bonus episodes, behind the scenes action, and

He was not alone in this, as witnesses came out of the woodwork and corroborated his story in remarkable detail.

Hanover III is with me to provide an everyperson perspective to the things we see and do.

The Woodrew Update Update Update

The Saucer Life ·

2024/06/25

Episode NotesThis is a bit of a sequel to our 2020 episode about Greta Woodrew, (Why do Birdlike Aliens Suddenly Appear?)and focuses on some newly available issues of her Woodrew Update newsletter from the 1980s. From Earth Changes to prepper-behavior, to the (not so) subtle bragging on her genius children, these newsletters provided an interesting window into a woman who was one of the most atypical contactees out there.

The Alien Abduction Survival Guide

The Saucer Life ·

2024/05/24

Episode NotesThe Alien Abduction Survival Guide by Michelle LaVigne is... not entirely what it sounds like. While there are several tips for coping with one's abduction experiences, the most interesting aspect of the book is the manner in which the author positions herself within the shared experiences of humans and their alien mentors.

Episode NotesRecounting a contactee tale that took place in 1955, Oscar F. Knight's booklet "The Wolverton Trail Event" is a unique story that exudes sincerity.
