In this compelling episode of Podcast UFO, Martin Willis speaks with Lori Rehfeldt, author of Rendlesham Lone Ranger: Precursor to the Rendlesham Forest Incident. Stationed at the 81st Security Police Squadron at RAF Bentwaters in England, Lori experienced her own UFO encounter in February 1980—months before the now-famous Rendlesham Forest Incident in December 1980, which occurred after she had left the base. Unaware of the second event at the time, she wouldn’t learn about it until discovering a book on the subject in 1997. Lori’s memoir is a unique blend of personal testimony and deep investigation, offering an insider’s view of enigmatic military assignments and unexplained phenomena. From dimensional energy shifts to interactions with non-human intelligences, she takes readers on a road map through her experiences at both RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge. As an intuitive and empathetic observer, Lori weaves together personal insights, historical context, and patterns that hint at an ancient, ongoing connection between the land and the mysterious forces that shape our reality. Don’t miss this thought-provoking interview about memory, mystery, and the deeper layers of the UFO phenomenon.

New Jersey, as everyone in UFO world is aware, was ground zero for a full-on flap involving what most witnesses reported as mysterious drones. What’s noteworthy is that this same region was where residents panicked during Orson Welles’s radio production of The War of the Worlds in 1938. It’s also the area where there were two flaps in 1966, one in January and another in October, with the most dramatic reports centered around the Wanaque Reservoir. In this blog, we’ll focus on the January flap. At that time, several different investigators arrived on the scene, and as a result, there are several different versions of what happened.

On Saturday, January 18, there was a much hyped exclusive on NewsNation, presented by Ross Coulthart. What was promised was testimony from a “whistleblower” along with video to back it up that a government UFO crash retrieval program does indeed exist. There was much excitement on social media, but once the episode aired, there was much anger and disappointment, the main complaint being that the video was less than convincing. While there was a lot of focus on the video, there was another focus on what we believe should always be the first principle when examining claims of this nature, and that is: Consider the source. Read more →

From the very beginning of the flying saucer/UFO mystery, Joseph Allen Hynek played a huge role as an investigator.  According to him in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience, in 1947 he was asked to be a scientific consultant for the Air Force’s investigation program (which was then called Project Sign) based at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. He explains he was “then director of Ohio State University’s McMillan Observatory and, as such, the closest professional astronomer at hand.” He remained a scientific consultant for what operated as Project Sign, Project Grudge, and then Project Blue Book as of 1952, up until its termination in 1969. He went on with his own investigations, formed the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, and continued as its director until his death in 1986. In his almost 40 years of involvement with the mystery, Hynek’s beliefs and public stance evolved quite a bit. Read more →

Amidst the reports of drone incursions over military bases and northern New Jersey, there was a story that made the news involving video footage reportedly taken by a co-pilot of an unidentified object in the sky above Manchester Airport in England, along with still shots of what was said to be the same object, seen to be a blue sphere, hovering over the tarmac. As is typical of UFO coverage in the news these days, when it’s not about what government officials think about the phenomenon, the origin of the story was a post on social media with no real names provided for the poster or the source. All that was left for those with an interest in the case was to conduct some rather imaginative analysis of the footage and argue back and forth over the possible alien origin of the object. Read more →

John Keel, most well-known as the author of the 1975 book, The Mothman Prophecies, was a controversial figure in flying saucer/UFO world back in the late 1960s and throughout the 70s due to his unorthodox views. He was first and foremost a fortean (interested in all things strange) and it was his view that whatever was behind the flying saucer/UFO phenomenon was not extraterrestrial and might be behind other phenomena as well. From May 1969 to April 1974, Keel put out the “irregular newsletter,” Anomaly. He asked those wishing to receive a copy to send him a self-addressed, stamped manila envelope, and the number of copies he printed depended on the number of envelopes he received. For fans of Keel, issue No. 1 provides a detailed look at his views and investigative methods (in the form of “concrete suggestions for investigating the phenomena”) just after his adventures in West Virginia and New York that he chronicled in The Mothman Prophecies. Read more →

This week on Podcast UFO, host Martin Willis speaks with constitutional attorney and longtime disclosure advocate Danny Sheehan about the explosive new white paper from the New Paradigm Institute (NPI), Disinformation: The U.S. Government’s Suppression of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and Advanced Science. Written by NPI’s Kevin Wright, the paper details how U.S. government agencies have used secrecy, disinformation, and classification to suppress knowledge of UAPs and advanced technologies. He believes that the "National Security State" (refers to the collection of institutions, laws, and personnel within a country dedicated to formulating, enforcing, and ensuring the continuity of its national security policy) is suppressing evidence when it comes to the UAP Topic.
