UFOs and Aliens

Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks: An interview with Adam Gorightly

Matt sits down with author and filmmaker Adam Gorightly for a conversation on aliens, government disinformation, and conspiracy theories. Adam's new movie, Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks follows the story of scientist Paul Bennewitz, who was targeted by a mind-bending counterintelligence campaign that gave rise to enduring UFO lore. The themes of this incident spread into the 1980s UFO scene, and eventually found their way to movies and shows like the X-Files, captivating a new generation of believers. Tropes like the "Greys," underground "Reptilian" bases, and crashed saucers have had an enduring influence on popular culture and still determine how we see the UFO phenomenon today.

Episode 87: The Allagash Abductions Part 4 - An Otherworldly Trip

Matt, Katie, and EJ conclude their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the story of four campers encounter with beings from another world. MUFON investigator Raymond Fowler believes he's encountered a decades-long case of alien abduction. His research on the Allagash Four reveals, to him, injuries consistent with medical experimentation. But when one of the four makes a startling confession, it throws the entire case into question. Was there any truth to what happened in the Maine Wilderness? Or was it all an incredible feat of unconscious storytelling by a group desperate to believe in something out of this world?

Episode 86: The Allagash Abductions Part 3 - Shoes Off in the Spaceship

Matt, Katie, and EJ continue their investigation of the Allagash Abductions, the alleged alien abduction of four campers in the Maine wilderness. Ufologist Raymond Fowler agrees to put abductee Jim Weiner under hypnosis after meeting him at a UFO symposium. At first, Jim doesn’t recall anything, but the more the MUFON hypnotists push, the more he remembers. Jim recounts the story of strange scientific experiments performed in a strange room by beings from another world. These creatures look like grey aliens, which convinces Fowler he’s on to something.
 
The hypnotic memory regression sessions continue, first with Jim’s brother Jack, and then friends Charlie Foltz and Chuck Rak also revealing similar details. Illustrations drawn by the abductees show remarkably similar aliens. But were the Allagash Four really the victims of alien abduction? Or is it all a memory implanted by Raymond Fowler, one by one, on the unsuspecting campers?
