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.

This weeks podcast is rather light, due to a technical difficulty beyond our control. It’s all sorted, but a bit too late to re-record our interview with our guest. However, we never let our listeners go hungry…so Jeff ate something, Jer reads from a book, and crickets ensued.
Back next week with a great guest…we shall never speak of this again.

Join Jeff and Jeremy for their 20th episode, a special recap of the past 20 guests and topics and a special…phone call. Jeff and Jeremy quickly learn “where your dreams come alive and control you” is far more than a cheesy catchphrase for a podcast.
Watch your back, mind the trees. Did you hear that?
