Occam's Razor #57- The Rougham Apparition House with Filmmaker Simon Nunn
The ghostly phenomenon of a Georgian-style mansion that appears in an empty field near a small village in Suffolk U.K. has been reported by at least 20 people over the last 150 years. Simon Nunn is working on a Documentary about the Rougham mystery and is currently collating eyewitness sightings, and researching possible explanations for the mirage that some have speculated encompass Time Slips, Dimensional rips, and the 'Stone tape' Theory. Jim recently joined Simon at the site in Rougham, interviewed a key witness, and soaked up the mysterious energy that seems to cloak the towns of England's North East. https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/the-tale-of-a-suffolk-spectral-house-shrouded-in-mystery-9118624/ https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/journalist-excited-to-investigate-disappearing-house-and-gho-9318985/ Listen to us at https://www.podcastradionetwork.com/

Occam's Razor #56 - Aliens in the backyard and heightened global UFO/UAP activity with guest Roger Stankovic from MUFON

In a week that only a science fiction writer could dream up, the announcement of NASA investing in a science-led exploration of the UFO Phenomenon was followed by whistleblower revelations about the U.S Government harbouring extraterrestrials and their craft.

If that wasn't enough, a seemingly credible family in Las Vegas even claimed to see 10-foot aliens and a strange glowing blue craft that was captured on an LVPD Officers' bodycam.

Jim is joined by Roger Stankovic, Australiasian Director for The Mutual UFO Network and contributor to the 7 Network Australia TV show Close Encounters Down Under. We peruse the available evidence pertaining to these contemporary incidents and ask if we are once again at the precipice of full disclosure.

Jim is joined by former Bloomberg Journalist David de Jong, author of a new book that delves into the ties between Germany's biggest business families and Nazi Germany.

Occam's Razor #48 - The hunt for D.B Cooper with Eric Ulis
In this episode, Jim is joined by historian Eric Ulis. Eric is one of the world's leading experts on the infamous skyjacker DB Cooper. He has researched, investigated, and written extensively about the case over the last dozen years.  On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man calling himself Dan Cooper skyjacked a Northwest Orient flight travelling from Portland to Seattle. Upon landing in Seattle, Cooper ransomed the passengers for $200,000 and four parachutes. He then directed the jet to take off and head to Mexico City by way of Reno for a fuel stop. Approximately 36 minutes after departing Seattle, somewhere just north of Portland, Cooper parachuted out of the back of the jet never to be seen or heard from again. Recently, Eric has been involved in searching for evidence in an area around the Columbia River in Washington, where in 1980, a boy found $6000 of Cooper's ransom money. Eric maintains a theory that Cooper buried the parachutes, an attache case and the money at the same time, but dug smaller holes instead of one large one.  We also discuss suspects advanced over the last five decades, including the curious case of Sheridan Petersen.

Occam's Razor #47- How long have extraterrestrials been visiting earth?

In this episode, Jim is joined by hauntedauckland's Sam Collier and Julien Lacave from ufopardigm.com to discuss the working hypothesis of alien visitation. The alleged events at Roswell meant 1947 is often given as an arbitrary date for the start of human/alien interaction and the UFO phenomenon, but do ancient astronaut theories show the inter-species co-operation is far from recent? Were advanced ancient civilisations like the Mayans and Egyptians the benefactors of knowledge passed down from visitors? or can the evidence for pre-history symbiosis be explained away as a twisting of indigenous folklore?

Occam's Razor #45- UFO disclosure documents with researchers Julien La Cave and Roger Stankovic
Jim is joined by Julien Lacave of UFO paradigm.com and Roger Stankovic from MUFON Australasia to discuss whether we are any further towards mainstream acceptance of the UAP phenomenon after the release of the much-anticipated Pentagon task force report. We ask whether the current glasnost is a sign of things to come, the first piece in a larger disclosure puzzle, or are we being led down an unending path once again? Is the world ready for the reality of Alien visitors or would the perceived instability of financial markets and organised religion continue to be a roadblock to the truth?
