We’re going thru our Bennewitz tapes that we used in the film [https://saucersspooksandkooks.vhx.tv/] for the next couple of episodes of the SS&K podcast. In this installment we’ll listen to a tape recorded by Richard Haines of a conversation he had with the man himself, Paul Bennewitz. Prior to getting on the horn with Bennewitz, Haines thought it best to call his CUFOS colleague Peter Sturrock, to get a sense of what he was getting into. It’s worth a listen and I feel like it’s a bit telling how they were approaching the Bennewitz case. That is with skepticism and snickers. Sturrock even remarks how the whole situation sounds more like an intelligence game rather than an alien encounter. Here’s the audio of that. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1peUIOPltF3SHCKP9PpsctpW9AyYUxkYK/view?usp=sharing This episode gets pretty intense as there are beams and force fields, and even talk of an implant. Paul, bless his heart, gets pretty patriotic at the end of the call. The next tape we will be going into is of UFO Researcher, Jim McCampbell, who meticulously reviews his notes that he took while he was on the phone with Paul in 1984. Our featured song this week was “Major Tom” by The Space Lady. https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-space-lady-a-cosmic-answer-to-daniel-johnston/ Get full access to Saucers Spooks and Kooks at saucersspooksandkooks.substack.com/subscribe [https://saucersspooksandkooks.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Welcome to Part 2 of your Billy Goodman Happening, which, it just so happens, was a “scientific-spiritual” Happening. Throughout Parts 1 and 2, we encounter the recurring character of Yellow Fruit, who we highly suspect was Tal Levesque cosplaying in the role of an Area 51 security guard. In that regard, Tal claimed that he had worked for many years as a security specialist at top secret installations in these United States. Recently, Adam was able to obtain a copy of Tal’s death certificate, which confirmed that he had been employed, over the last few decades, as “private security” in the “hospitality” industry. To this end, Tal’s buddy, and fellow Reptilian fan, John Rhodes, manages a hotel in the California mountain town where both he and Tal resided, and it was there (in that town and perhaps at the hotel Rhodes’ manages) that Tal provided “private security.” Below is a section of Tal’s death cert. We decided to not include the whole thing because it names Tal’s sister, who may not want to be publicly identified.

Good morning, anybody. Welcome to your Billy Goodman Happening Mix Tape. You can find some background on the Billy Goodman Thing and Happening in this 2009 post [https://gorightly.wordpress.com/2009/01/19/the-billy-goodman-happening/] from Adam’s Untamed Dimensions blog. There’s some pretty interesting comments from readers in this blog post, including news that Billy passed away just a couple weeks after Adam posted the article. Here’s Adam’s obit [https://gorightly.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/billy-goodman-rip/] for Billy Goodman and another obit here [http://www.cryptozoonews.com/goodman-obit/]. Here’s a link [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YBkOnZmcpMpqYyHEXjZboHRhNQ_gjOyw/view?usp=sharing] to the Billy Goodman Happening “Quest for Truth” newsletter for your possible reading enjoyment. As you learned from this startling episode, Goodman was an Elvis-is-still-alive-enthusiast. For more on this startling subject, check out this post from Adam’s Untamed Dimensions blog about Elvis appearing in “Home Alone.” [https://gorightly.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/elvis-presley-in-home-alone/] Adam says this was probably the most popular post ever on his blog, as you can see from all the comments of people going back and forth arguing about whether Elvis ever actually died! For more Billy Goodman Happening goodness, here’s a video playlist [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL646A7D33D42EDB11]of some shows courtesy of the Cosmic Connection YouTube page. To start off this startling episode we did a riff on Adam’s old Untamed Dimensions radio show [https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/gorightly]. Bo Gritz [https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/bo-gritz/], who recently shed the mortal coil, often appeared on The Happening. For some background on Gritz, here’s a good primer from Jesse Walker [https://reason.com/2008/01/28/the-ghost-of-rambo/] of Reason magazine. We close out Part 1 of our Billy Goodman Happening Mix Tape with the classic BOC tune, Take Me Away.

We let a good majority of our interview with David Perkins play out. Some of which found it’s way into the film [http://saucersspooksandkooks.vhx.tv] but mostly it’s Perkins “unplugged”. https://www.amazon.com/Huerfano-Counterculture-Roberta-M-Price/dp/1558495738 https://www.ebay.com/itm/358110880578 Get full access to Saucers Spooks and Kooks at saucersspooksandkooks.substack.com/subscribe [https://saucersspooksandkooks.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
