Podcast UFO

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 
In the January 12, 1982, New South Wales, Australia Pix-People, there is an article (page 11 of the pdf) by “Australia’s leading authority on UFOs and psychic phenomena,” John Pinkney, headlined “UFO terror grips a NSW township.” Pinkney’s weekly column for the publication is “The Pinkney Report–Investigating the Incredible.” It seems there was a flap in the town of Nowra, and one case in particular is reported to have been investigated by the Scientific Bureau of Investigation. SBI had its own publication at the time, and a report on the case was published in the Vol. 3, No. 6 SBI Report. SBI was based in Staten Island, NY, and one member readers might recognize was Peter Robbins, who is listed as art director for the magazine.According to Pinkney, “dozens of people” were “caught up in bizarre events” in Nowra, which is 150 km south of Sydney: railway men reported they saw lights hovering over abandoned mineshafts; a foal was found with its leg cut off “neatly from its shoulder; a “huge, brightly lit object” paced a bus with 40 passengers “for seven minutes, before vanishing up a shaft of light in the clouds;” a newspaper man saw a mass of what looked like meteorites fly up from the ground into the air in 1978; a 12-meter-diameter ring was found burned into a field after a farmer told police that “a weird thing had crashed on his property, starting a bushfire;” and two hunters shot at a two-meter-tall, human-like entity that vanished and left an overpowering odor that made one of the hunters sick for several hours. Pinkney’s main focus, however, is on a case involving not only some unusual trace evidence, but physical effects on the witness as well.According to Pinkney, Frank Burke, a pastrycook, was driving through the Kangaroo Valley heading home from work at around 10:30 p.m. when a “blazing light” engulfed the car. Burke said it lit up the area in a radius of around 25 feet and “was so intense I could have read the fine print of a newspaper or counted the ants at the roadside.” He was listening to music coming from a cassette player/recorder sitting on the seat next to him, and it stopped playing as soon as the light came down.

AudioBlog: A 1981 Close Encounter Report from Australia

Join Martin and UFO Jack as they dive into a detailed, no-nonsense review of the newly released documentary The Age of Disclosure — a film already being called one of the most iconic and provocative UAP productions to date. In this episode, we break down the movie’s claims, message, threat narrative, historical framing, and its impact on the disclosure conversation happening right now. Whether you're a seasoned UFO researcher or just curious about what all the buzz is about, this review highlights what the film gets right, where it stretches, and why it matters. Grab a seat — we’re going deep on evidence, narrative framing, and the broader implications for UAP transparency.

SPECIAL SHOW_ The New UAP Film That Has Everyone Talking _ Our Review

Join Martin Willis as he sits down with researcher, author, and trained remote viewer Ryan Kralik to explore the ideas behind his forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Kralik proposes a groundbreaking model in which matter, life, consciousness—and even UFO phenomena—are emergent expressions of information seeking stability, structure, and meaning. Drawing from years of analytical work in communication and technology, combined with his background in psi research and anomaly investigation, he examines how reality may encode experience itself. We discuss how this framework may help explain UFO/UAP encounters, remote viewing, synchronicities, and the deeper architecture of consciousness. If you’re interested in cutting-edge theories at the intersection of UFOs, mind, and physics, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

713. Ryan Kralik UAP & Consciousness

After a major blackout cut short our previous interview, Martin Willis interviews Bill Chalker — one of Australia’s most respected UFO researchers — returns for a deep dive into historic Australian UFO encounters that shaped the country’s extraordinary UFO legacy. From the mysterious 1868 Parramatta contact case and the 1927 Fernvale “Mothman-style” phenomenon, to the postwar wave of landings and close encounters, Bill brings decades of meticulous research, field investigations, and scientific inquiry to light. With his background in chemistry and forensic analysis, Bill discusses how historical cases still hold valuable clues to the modern UAP mystery, and how Australia’s UFO story connects to the global enigma.

712. Bill Chalker Returns

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearIn last week’s blog, we looked at a case from British Columbia that involved two witnesses who said they not only saw a UFO on the night of October 3, 1981, described as an upside-down flying saucer with its dome underneath surrounded by four lights that were in the 3,6,9, and 12 o’clock positions, but also had encounters with MiB types afterwards. The main witness, a 16-year-old who ran his own security company, Grant Breiland, reportedly took a photo that was not developed at the time of the article. The other witness, identified only as “N.B.” was a 19-year-old male who said he saw the same object. Breiland was interviewed extensively by former University of Victoria linguistics professor, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards. Edwards wrote a report that was published in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review.When we left off, Breiland had just been confronted in the glass-doored vestibule of a shopping mall by two men dressed in extremely dark blue clothing. They were stiff and robotic, had tanned faces and lips the same color, no eyebrows, and “Eton crop” haircuts. He was scared by not only their non-human appearance, but also by the fact that there were suddenly no people to be seen anywhere, which was the case during the entire encounter. According to Edwards, they asked him what his name was, where he lived, what his phone number was, and he refused to answer. After staring at him for five seconds, they turned on their heels “as one man,” walked outside (it was raining), crossed the sidewalk to the road, went left, and walked in sync in a military fashion. Breiland followed them and watched as they walked onto a muddy, excavated field and then vanished before his eyes. He ran to the spot where they disappeared and saw they had left no footprints.

PART II: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearMen in Black stories are almost as old as the modern UFO mystery, starting with the 1947 Maury Island Incident. This aspect of the phenomenon became firmly cemented with Gray Barker’s 1956 book, They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, and it plays a big part in John Keel’s 1975 book, The Mothman Prophecies. Keel was of the mind that MiBs were not human beings from secret government organizations out to silence witnesses, but creatures of a much stranger origin. Supporting this is a 1981 report (page 8 of the pdf) out of Canada that is presented in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review. Read more →

AudioBlog: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada

What if artificial intelligence isn’t just human innovation — but part of a far older, non-human agenda? In this fascinating episode, Martin Willis speaks with Danielle Silverman, close associate of the late Nigel Kerner, to explore his provocative ideas from Grey Aliens and Artificial Intelligence: The Battle Between Natural and Synthetic Beings for the Human Soul. Nigel Kerner argued that the so-called Greys — the classic UFO entities reported in abductions — are synthetic bio-machines created by an ancient intelligence. Their mission? To study and ultimately harvest the human soul — the one thing they cannot reproduce. Danielle helps unpack Nigel’s research into how this alien technology might be guiding humanity toward merging with machines, steering us toward a future that benefits them rather than us.

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear
Brazilian UFO cases have aspects to them that, while not unheard of in other countries, come up over and over again giving them a commonality that is unique to Brazil. Lost time, traveling long distances in trucks and cars in far less time and using far less fuel than it should take, humanoid encounters, and injuries are a few of these. A case from 1980 has all of these aspects except injury, and it is described in the cover story of the March 1982 APRO Bulletin.According to the article headlined “1980 Brazilian Abduction,” the case came to light “during the question and answer period following a UFO lecture by APRO’s Brazilian Representative, Mrs. Irene Granchi.” Granchi later interviewed the people involved, Elias Seixas de Matos, 38; Guaraci Fernandes de Sousa, 47; and Alberto Seixas Vierra, 26. Granchi later wrote about the case in an article (link to original article broken at this time) published in the April 1995 issue of UFO Magazine. There, she says she was lecturing about the work of Rio de Janeiro-based “hypnologist,” Dr. Silvio Lago. According to her, the three men were introduced to her, and it was explained that they wanted to meet Lago as they all seemed to have experienced partial amnesia and couldn’t recall long stretches of time during a delivery run in a truck.

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear

Coming across contemporary UFO cases of interest these days when government-related UFO stories dominate the news is difficult. Fortunately, there are still some active civilian investigators out there who share their information (without a subscription) on their websites. Stan Gordon is one of those, and he helped bring attention to a case investigated by fellow researcher Jim Brown.Stan Gordon maintains a website, Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone. According to his bio on the site, he was a trained electronics technician who specialized in radio and “worked in the advanced consumer electronics sales field for over forty years.” He has lived his whole life in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, became interested in UFOs and strangeness in 1959 at the age of ten, was the investigations coordinator for telephone reports coming into the UFO Research Institute of Pittsburgh in the late 1960s, and became an active field investigator in 1965. That year he was the primary investigator for the “December 9, 1965, UFO crash-recovery incident that occurred near Kecksburg, Pennsylvania.” Gordon established a hotline in 1969 so he could receive UFO reports and formed his own organization, the Westmoreland County UFO Study Group, in 1970.
