Try a Little Understanding

The Saucer Life ·

2020/03/06

Episode Notes So. There's been a clamoring for an episode about Contactee Daniel Fry for a long time. This is it. In the episode I go into a bit of detail about why it's taken me so long to get around to him, but one of the main reasons is that there is so much available information that it's a bit daunting (see the link below to get an idea). Hope you enjoy it! Sources and Further Information The indispensable Daniel Fry Dot Com. This really is all you need. Support The Saucer Life and get

Radio Daze

The Saucer Life ·

2020/02/19

Episode Notes Radio! It use to be a thing--ask your folks, kids! Since the beginning of the flying saucer phenomenon, there have been radio programs dedicated to the subject. While there were several high profile "specials," about the topic this episode focuses on the long running radio series that focused--at least in part--on UFOs, usually as part of a larger focus on the paranormal or conspiratorial topics.

The Saucer Afterlife: Lights, Camera, August Roberts?

The Saucer Life ·

2020/02/12

Episode Notes Speaking of interesting but fundamentally dull flying saucer films, in this installment of The Saucer Afterlife, I spend a few minutes on The Flying Saucer Mystery. This is a 1952 short film (which is actually an extended version of one that came out in 1950) that features August Roberts (for 4 seconds), Frank Scully (who seems like a hoot), and Donald Keyhoe (who is whatever the opposite of a hoot might be). You can watch this film on YouTube. Or, for $0.99, you can watch it while the

Read this Book: A Road Not Taken

The Saucer Life ·

2020/01/22

Episode Notes I would bet good money that most of you have not read 1978's The UFO Guidebook by Briazack and Mennick. It's one of the hidden gems of UFO literature, boasting a very even-handed array of definitions and summaries in an encyclopedia style. But that's not the biggest reason I love it.

Who are the Controllers?

The Saucer Life ·

2020/01/08

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.

The Saucer Life Holiday Special

The Saucer Life ·

2019/12/24

Episode Notes This went through numerous title choices before settling on this, simultaneously an apt description and an homage to another "Holiday Special" that had nothing to do with any particular real holiday. We've got fan fiction, we've got classic saucer poetry, we've got all three of our regular guest voices--Sasha, Roberta, and Nelson--along for the ride, we've got something a bit light and fun (hopefully) before coming back in the New Year. Well, the poem "Experiments" is any thing but

The Secret Grudges of Bill English

The Saucer Life ·

2019/12/11

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

The Mysterious Mitchell Sisters

2019/11/27

Episode Notes No apologies, this one was a bit of a labor of love, and I can't believe I got a whole episode out of the Mitchell Sisters, a pair of 1950s contactees from St. Louis, Missouri. This is a contact tale, but also the story of what happens when a story gets abandoned through the disappearance of its original tellers. Featuring the debut of Saucer Fanfic Theater!

90s Magazine Mixtape

2019/11/13

Episode Notes Yes, that tape recorder was used in the making of this episode, at the suggestion of Associate Producer Simpson Hanover. THUS--the audio sounds....like it was recorded on a tape recorder. Although, it's an exceptionally high quality tape recorder. In this episode we return to the 90s and return to our Zine Scene strand of episodes, with a great and hopefully surprising or intriguing selection.

Kelly-Goblinsville

The Saucer Life ·

2019/10/31

Episode Notes Happy Halloween, if you're seeing this on release day. An appropriate topic for the holiday, I think--things that go bump in the night outside of isolated farmhouses, a story that exists in the netherworld of saucer story and monster tale, and one of the few incidents that makes it difficult for me to sleep if I think about it too close to bedtime. Come with us to Christian County, Kentucky. Don't bother to bring your shotgun. Reading and resources Close Encounter at Kelly and Others

Storm Hangar 18!

The Saucer Life ·

2019/09/18

Episode Notes Not to be topical or anything, but all during the summer of 2019 we were getting geared up to Storm Area 51--and that's great and all, but I thought that Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton needed some love, so here we are. In this episode, we examine the history of the notion that there's a place the government takes saucer debris, the emergence of "Hangar 18" itself as an idea, and the ways this has poked through in various parts of the saucer culture over the past few

The Marsh Gas Life

Episode Notes This is a talk from Dexter, Michigan I gave on July 22, 2019 about UFOs, history and, of course, the 1966 sightings in the area. It was a fun talk, with a good crowd--some of whom remembered the events themselves. If you'd like to see the slide show that went along with the talk, click here.
