All Things Strange

Aum Shinrikyo

This time around we discuss the terrifying doomsday cult from Japan. These guys aren't your typical cult. Rather than hoping that the world would end, they actually planned to make it happen.

CH18 The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects by Edward J. Ruppelt

Happy Holidays! Just in time for turkey day, we have the first of three chapters added for the 1960 edition of Ruppelt's book. The first edition, published in 1956, had just 17 chapters. 

 

Some speculate that the last 3 chapters were added at the request of the Air Force, or perhaps a shadowy government agency. However we may never find out, as Ruppelt died of a heart attack at the young age of 37 just after the publication of the second edition of his book in 1960.

 

One thing is certain, however, that these last three chapters are firmly on the side of the anti-saucer crowd. Unlike the rest of the book, they seem to follow a debunking agenda. At any rate they are in the book and thus will be read.

 

Enjoy!

CH17 The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects by Edward J. Ruppelt

Some really good cases presented in this chapter, "What are the ufos?". While he doesn't explicitly answer the question, Ruppelt does hint at the possibility of interplanetary spacecraft. But he does so while trying to remain objective.

CH16 The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects by Edward J. Ruppelt

This chapter discusses a couple of different studies on UFOs and the conclusion a group of scientists reached on the topic. A few bombshells in this one, well worth the listen.

Kenneth Arnold’s Flying Saucers

Kenneth Arnold's sighting in 1947 kicked off the modern UFO era. A misquotation in the press coined the term "flying saucer" that is still used today, although not as often as UAP or UFO. We discuss some of the finer points of the sighting, as well as some of the many other similar sightings of the time.

 

PDF LINK: The Singular Adventure of Mr. Kenneth Arnold by Martin Shough This detailed paper analyzes Arnold's sighting at length, using things like MATH and SCIENCE to argue that Arnold really did see something unusual. 

 

Saturday Night UFORIA This excellent blog goes into great detail about many things. This particular article has the pictures discussed in the episode.

 

PDF LINK: The Roswell Deception by James Carrion. This is where I got the alternate theory from. I didn't have time to read all of it yet, but its pretty interesting.
