The Paracast -- The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio

Gene and Chris present an all-star episode featuring Micah A. Hanks and Scott Alan Roberts. Both will catch us up on their most recent works, which includes Scotty's most recent book: "The Secret History of the Reptilians: The Pervasive Presence of the Serpent in Human History, Religion and Alien Mythos." Micah's most recent book is an out-of-the-box look at: "The UFO Singularity: Why Are Past Unexplained Phenomena Changing Our Future? Where Will Transcending the Bounds of Current Thinking Lead? How Near is the Singularity?" We will also hear about the second annual Paradigm Symposium to be held October 2013 in the Minneapolis/St Paul MN area.

Gene and Chris welcome former Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent and FBI counterintelligence specialist Walter Bosley, who has engaged in a lengthy research project involving a series of strange and frightening deaths, possibly murders, that occurred in the San Bernardino Valley in 1915. Bosley's recent book, "Empire of the Wheel II: Friends From Sonora," covers such topics as "the unexpected fingerprints of a group of aviators who allegedly built secret airships in California before the Civil War and may have been responsible for the widely reported but mostly forgotten Great Airship Mystery of 1897." And what about a possible connection to Butch and Sundance?

Gene and Chris present Chad Lewis, a co-author of "The Van Meter Visitor: A True and Mysterious Encounter with the Unknown." According to Lewis, "for several nights in 1903, the small town of Van Meter, Iowa was terrorized by a giant bat-like creature that emerged from an old abandoned mine. The identity of this mysterious visitor was never discovered." Over 100 years later, Lewis and his fellow paranormal investigators set out to Van Meter to shine a light on this amazingly bizarre and still unexplained case.

Gene and Chris welcome movie documentary producer James Fox back to the show. On this episode, the outspoken filmmaker will explain what went wrong with the National Geographic "Chasing UFOs" reality show, on which he was a co-host. He also recount his amazing eight-day visit with long-time UFO investigator Ray Stanford, and some of what he learned. Fox will also give you a preview of the forthcoming UFO documentary he is working on, which has the working title of "701." This number represents the number of UFO cases the Air Force's Project Bluebook failed to explain.

Gene and Chris play catch-up with Don Ecker, long-time UFO investigator and host of the Dark Matters radio show. During this session, Don will, as usual, pull no punches as he tells you about his long history in the field, along with his frank reactions to people and organizations, where he holds no prisoners. You'll also hear his responses to listener questions.

Gene and Chris present Gabe Valdez's son Greg, who has just released a very informative book, "Dulce Base: The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez," which provides a fascinating look at his dad's many years of investigative work in and around the Dulce, NM/Rio Arriba County region, including the hell years of dozens of mutilations in the northern NM region, his work as a field investigator for Bigelow's NIDS, his theories and conclusions about the mutilations, the "Dulce Base" myths, stories, rumors and legends plus much more!

Gene and Chris present "The Great Aztec Debate," featuring Scott Ramsey, co-author of "The Aztec Incident: Recovery at Hart Canyon" and long-time UFO researcher Kevin D. Randle. During this debate, Ramsey will argue in favor of reports of a UFO crash in Aztec, NM in March 1948. Randle is a long-time skeptic of the case who attributes the report to two alleged hoaxers who gave the story to the late gossip columnist Frank Scully, author of a 1950 book, "Behind The Flying Saucers." The book was updated in 2008 with updated material from several authors, including Ramsey.

Gene and Chris explore the reports and legends of hidden government installations around the world where top secret research and possible UFO explorations are going on with Mack Maloney, author of "Beyond Area 51." In addition to discussing such mysterious locales, he'll cover incredible tales of animal experimentation and UFO sightings. And wait till you hear Maloney's views about the Roswell and Aztec UFO crashes.

Gene and Chris present a full-scale discussion of a classic UFO encounter, the Cash-Landrum incident, which occurred on an isolated two-lane road near Houston, Texas on December 29, 1980. This sighting includes a witness who received possible severe radiation burns as the result of being in close proximity to the strange aircraft. To flesh out the nuts and bolts of the case, we invited two UFO investigators, Chris Lambright and Curtis L. Collins (whom our forum members know as Sentry).

Gene and Chris present Richard Toronto, author of "War over Lemuria: Richard Shaver, Ray Palmer and the Strangest Chapter of 1940s Science Fiction." Toronto, a former newspaper reporter, is a long time student of the Shaver Mystery. We'll also be joined by Geneva Hagen, co-editor of the UFO/occult magazine, "Caveat Emptor," and a friend of Shaver's. Both Palmer and Shaver were pioneers not just in science fiction, but helped in encouraging interest in flying saucers in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Gene and Chris present Kevin D. Randle, who returns to The Paracast to discuss his appearance before the recent Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, and his recent book, "Alien Mysteries, Conspiracies and Cover-Ups." This wide-ranging interview will cover the latest news about the Roswell "Dream Team" investigation, why theories about Ancient Astronauts may be the result of misinterpreting the original cases, and ongoing research into cattle mutilations.

Gene and Chris present "conscious media" producer Ron James, of Ivolve TV. Chris and Ron have worked together since 2005 creating honest, real media that examines the paranormal in an honest, unvarnished fashion. This episode will focus on upcoming media projects on the paranormal, along with the recent Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, where Ron served as the video producer.

Gene and Chris present outspoken paranormal commentator and author Nick Redfern (an occasional guest co-host of our show), to discuss his new book, "Monster Files: A Look Inside Government Secrets and Classified Documents on Bizarre Creatures and Extraordinary Animals." So what does the government really know about Bigfoot and other bizarre creatures?

Gene and Chris present Gary Heseltine, a retired constable in the UK who, in 1975, encountered a bright, white light that triggered a series of power grid failures. This sparked a lifelong interest in UFOs that spanned through his career as a police detective. Heseltine has established the Police Report UFO Sightings (PRUFOS), a database containing hundreds of sightings from law enforcement officers. He is also editor of a UFO magazine: UFO Truth.

Gene and Chris explore the UFO abduction enigma with Kathleen Marden and Denise Stoner, authors of "The Alien Abduction Files: The Most Startling Cases of Human Alien Contact Ever Reported." Kathleen is the niece of the late Betty Hill, whose abduction experience with her husband Barney has been regarded as one of the most credible such encounters. Denise and her family, including her husband, report that they have been abducted repeatedly by strange entities.
