Paratopia Episode 29: Dr. Bruce Maccabee & The New Zealand UFO Case

In an episode dedicated to the late, great Richard Hall, Dr. Bruce Maccabee takes us to New Zealand to walk us through one of the best-documented UFO cases in history. Then he tells us what Richard Hall meant to him as he reminisces about their early days with NICAP.

“The real question is, Are the unexplained UFO reports describing some presently unrecognized phenomenon? And if so what is the nature and significance of the phenomenon? This cannot be answered by citing percentages and studying only known instances of ‘noise.’”

Richard Hall 1930-2009

Our thoughts, condolences and prayers are with Mr. Hall and his family.

Paratopia Episode 28: The Georgia Guidestones

Dubbed by Wired Magazine as “The strangest monument in America,” The Georgia Guidestones have remained a mystery since their construction in 1980. Tonight, Jeff & Jeremy ponder their meaning with Charles Reed, an architect who was given the original plans for its construction in 1980 by the banker who funded it–a complete stranger to Charles. Why would a stranger give him something so secret? Was it because the whole affair was a well-funded tourist trap? Could it have to do with Charles being an experiencer?

Charles is joined by his daughter Melissa Reed, the fantastic artist some of you may know as Culture of Contact’s art show curator.

But that’s only the first hour.

In the second hour-plus, we discuss not just the Guidestones but the so-called alien enigma with its fear and confusion and hints of spirituality, and expose these topics to the deep, rich discussion they deserve. If you’ve been waiting for the chat that will sock you in the gut, this one is not to be missed!

Pataopia Episode 27: Harold Egeln

Harold Egeln is an experiencer of high strangeness so varied that it gives even us pause. Through it all he has remained unafraid. We explore some of Harold’s experiences and see if we can’t figure out how it is that he is able to take it in stride when so many of us are terrified. Harold has nothing to sell and never has. But if you’d like to sign up for his free news letter on space, science, the paranormal, and sci fi, please check out this page.

Paratopia Episode 26: UFO Magazine Editor-in-Chief Nancy Birnes

UFO Magazine Editor-In-Chief Nancy Birnes speaks out about Col. Phil Corso and Roswell, the public attacks on husband Bill Birnes, the pitfalls of keeping UFO Magazine alive in a dying industry, what may be going on with experiencers like Jeff & Jeremy, and a whole lot more. This is a good and honest voice in a field rife with lies, so enjoy.

Also… we caught some EVP-type activity coming from Jeff’s house during the interview. The only thing more paranormal than that is the fact that we keep going with the show as if nothing big just happened.

Paratopia Episode 25: Marginality, Anti-Structure and the Paranormal with George Hansen

George Hansen returns to Paratopia for an in-depth look into marginality and anti-structure and it’s relationship to everything from UFOs to ghosts, and those who are involved in the paranormal. Join Jeff and Jeremy for a thought provoking and provocative discussion with George Hansen…this is one not to miss!

George P. Hansen was professionally employed in parapsychology laboratories for eight years—three at the Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina, and five at Psychophysical Research Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey.  His experiments included remote viewing, card guessing, ganzfeld, electronic random number generators, séance phenomena, and ghosts.  He has been active in a number of psychic, UFO, and New Age organizations, and he helped found a skeptics group.

His papers in scientific journals cover mathematical statistics, fraud and deception, the skeptics movement, conjurors in parapsychology, and exposés of hoaxes.  He is a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

Visit George Hansen’s website for more information or to buy his book “The Trickster and the Paranormal”. You may also contact the author via his website.
