Description

This week I'm talking to Brian Martin about his book ' Between Worlds: A Life of Abduction, Addiction, and Awakening'   In "Between Worlds," Brian Martin delivers a raw, unflinching account of a life shaped by extraordinary encounters with beings from beyond our understanding. From his earliest childhood memories of "The Others" who took him aboard their ships, to confrontations with shadow people and cryptids that defied explanation, Martin weaves a tapestry of the paranormal against the backdrop of a troubled upbringing.   The narrative follows Martin from an Iowa childhood marked by abuse and alien abductions through the harsh realities of 1980s West Texas, where his family struggles to survive in a transient oil field community. As his life spirals into alcoholism and self-destruction, the paranormal encounters continue - bringing both terror and moments of transcendent connection.   With unflinching honesty, Martin chronicles his eventual path to sobriety and spiritual awakening, suggesting that his extraordinary experiences served a greater purpose in his journey toward healing. The memoir culminates in a synthesis of recovery wisdom and cosmic perspective as Martin confronts mortality, finding peace amid the incomprehensible.   Both deeply personal and universally resonant, this memoir challenges readers to expand their understanding of reality while offering hope that even the most haunted souls can find redemption. The author's polygraph results, included in the afterward, add another layer to this already compelling narrative.   Bio Brian Martin, a Literary Titan Award Winner, was born on July 4th and raised in the Midwest before relocating to Texas at fifteen, where his distinctly American sensibility took root. An openly gay writer who came out during the era of the Red Hot and Blue AIDS benefit album, Martin Brings both sharp wit and lived experience to his craft. A veteran of multiple writers’ workshops, Martin has developed what he calls “New Gothic”—a unique horror genre where speculative fiction intersects with the macabre. His writing draws from a lifetime of keen observation and unconventional experiences, including encounters that some might classify as otherworldly. Martin approaches his identity as an active force rather than a static label, preferring to think of himself as a verb in constant motion. His work reflects the complexity of contemporary American life through the lens of horror, offering readers both chills and insight into the human condition. The Literary Titan Silver Book Award is granted to books that demonstrate notable merit in the realm of literary creation, both in fiction and non-fiction genres. This award acknowledges books that deliver engaging and inventive content with a distinctive voice. We commend the careful cultivation of unique characters or subjects and their placement in an enriching and captivating context.

episode What Is The Alien Agenda? artwork

What Is The Alien Agenda?

This week I'm talking to Lon Strickler about his book 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality'. The question isn't, have we been visited by extraterrestrial beings, but what is their agenda? Human experiencers are providing us with actual accounts of alien abduction and close encounters with other worldly beings. Their stories are important, giving us a real sense of this global phenomenon and to the possible agenda behind these visitations. This book will detail numerous encounters which will help answer questions such as: Is the human species part of a grand experiment? Who are the Men in Black? Is our species, with the assistance of extraterrestrials, headed towards a technological and biological singularity? The experiences described in the accounts are brutally forthright and span decades. Some of the stories will shock you, some will offer greater clarity, and some will even frighten you. Either way, these experiences will present a vivid account and no doubt leave you questioning the origin of our species. Bio Lon Strickler is a Fortean researcher, author, and publisher of the syndicated 'Phantoms and Monsters' blog. He began the blog in 2005, which has steadily grown in popularity and is read daily by tens of thousands of paranormal enthusiasts, investigators and those seeking the truth. His research and reports have been featured on hundreds of online media sources. Several of these published reports have been presented on various television segments, including The History Channel's 'Ancient Aliens,' Syfy's 'Paranormal Witness', 'Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files,' and Destination America's 'Monsters and Mysteries in America.' He has been interviewed on hundreds of radio & online broadcasts, including multiple guest appearances on 'Coast to Coast AM.' He was also featured on Destination America's 'Monsters and Mysteries in America' television show for 'The Sykesville Monster' episode. Lon has written 9 books and is currently the host of Phantoms & Monsters Radio on YouTube. Lon was born and raised in south central Pennsylvania, near the Gettysburg National Military Park and Battlefield. After living in the Baltimore, MD metro area for 40 years, he eventually moved back to his hometown in 2016. https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Disclosure-Experiencers-Expose-Reality-ebook/dp/B097HYSN7F [https://www.amazon.com/Alien-Disclosure-Experiencers-Expose-Reality-ebook/dp/B097HYSN7F] https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/ [https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/] https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Police UFO Cases

This week I'm reading from Richard Lang's book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate’s Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff’s Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports. He was sworn both on the federal level as Special Deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service and on the state level as a Deputy Sheriff for the County Sheriff’s Office. During this time the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was initially created as Congress had mandated extremely high levels of security for USA Airports. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) After serving for approximately a year as a LEO Richard was hired by Homeland Security and assigned to TSA as a Federal Liaison for airport stakeholders responsible for implementing federal procedures and dealing with regulatory initiatives associated with aviation security. This also included responsibility for airlines and airport authorities as well as all law enforcement agencies in Virginia that respond to airports during aviation emergencies. He was a member of the Anti-Terrorist Advisory Council Board (organized by the U.S. Attorney's Office) where he frequently served as key speaker on terrorism at quarterly regional meeting hosted by Homeland Security. http://www.langpublication.com/ [http://www.langpublication.com/] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMK85XR [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMK85XR] https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ [https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/]   https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast [https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast]   https://simonbown.com/ [https://simonbown.com/]   My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Has Humanity Confused God with Memories of ET Contact?

In this classic episode I'm talking to Paul Wallis about his book 'The Scars of Eden: Has humanity confused the idea of God with memories of ET contact?' From the author of the bestselling ESCAPING FROM EDEN. Do our world mythologies convey our ancestors' ideas about God? Or are they in reality ancestral memories of extra-terrestrial contact? How do ancient stories of contact, adaptation and abduction relate to people's experiences around the world today? The Scars of Eden will take you around the world to hear first-hand from ancestral voices alongside contemporary experiencers and world-renowned researchers. Recent revelations from US Navy, the Pentagon, and French Intelligence bring the reader right up to date in examining what has been forgotten and remembered, hidden and disclosed. If world mythologies, including the Bible, have confused the idea of God with ancient ET visitations, what difference does it make? How does it impact society today? And why is this cultural taboo so widespread and, for the author, so personal? Bio Paul Wallis is a popular speaker, researcher and author of books on spirituality and mysticism. As a senior churchman he served as an Archdeacon in the Anglican Church in Australia and in in-service training for pastors. Today his work probes the world's mythologies for their insight's into human origins and human potential. Paul’s book ESCAPING FROM EDEN was hailed by George Noory as “This generation’s Chariots of the Gods!” His book THE SCARS OF EDEN was endorsed by Erich Von Daniken and his latest (due for release May 1st 2022) ECHOES OF EDEN is endorsed by George Noory.
