The first two years of the 1970s seems to have been a slow period for UFO reports in the U.S. if the 1970 and 1971 UFO Chronology hosted on the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena website is any indication, with the 1970 chronology consisting of 5 pages, and the 1971 consisting of 8 pages. As a comparison, the 1966 chronology page count is 35 and the 1967 count is a massive 85. This might have been expected after the release of the Condon Report and the termination of Blue Book. There is a comment to this effect in the 1971 chronology: “An apparent lull in sighting reports may be the result of the closing of Project Blue Book and the media coverage of this for several years, and may not reflect the actual situation.” By 1973, things would pick up in the U.S. in a big way (35 pages in that chronology) with high-strangeness cases dominating the headlines. However, there seems to have been a head start on this in other parts of the world and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization had people in place to investigate and report. Read more →

In this riveting interview, Martin Willis speaks with retired U.S. Air Force Captain Dave Schindele, a former Missile Launch Control Officer, who recounts a harrowing and long-suppressed incident from September 1966. While stationed at Minot Air Force Base, Schindele and his crew took over a missile site—only to discover that all 10 nuclear-tipped Minuteman ICBMs had been mysteriously rendered unlaunchable after a chilling encounter with a "flying object." Despite the severity of the breach, no one was ever questioned, and everyone involved was told to “forget it ever happened.” Now, after decades of silence, Schindele is sharing his story, the cover-up, and his deep insights into what this means for national security and the UFO/UAP phenomenon. 📘 David Schindele is the author of It Never Happened – a book that details this incredible and disturbing event.

Award-winning filmmaker and long-time MUFON investigator Jennifer Stein joins Martin Willis to discuss her decades in UFO research, her documentary work on the Travis Walton abduction case, and the high-strangeness of Sedona, Arizona. Jennifer shares her experiences at Bradshaw Ranch—rumored to be near an underground military facility—where she’s witnessed mysterious lights rising from the ground, unusual orbs, and persistent military helicopter activity. She explains Sedona’s energy vortexes, rapid synchronicities, and why the region has become a hotspot for paranormal phenomena. The conversation turns to the Skyfire Summit—a special four-day event marking the 50th anniversary of Travis Walton’s 1975 abduction. Jennifer details her journey making Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, the challenges of film rights disputes, and how recent debunking campaigns mirror the tactics of legendary UFO skeptic Philip Klass. From the refusal of Snowflake, AZ officials to embrace their UFO history, to the shifting landscape of UFO disclosure, congressional hearings, and the recent shutdown of AARO, Jennifer pulls no punches.

On the morning of April 17, 1966, two sheriff deputies, Dale Spaur and Wilbur “Barney” Neff, chased a UFO from Portage County, Ohio, for 86 miles all the way into Pennsylvania. They chased the object at speeds ranging from 80 mph to 105 mph. According to them, there were times when the object actually stopped and waited for them to catch up to it. Other law enforcement officers witnessed the object after being alerted by radio communications between the deputies and their dispatcher. According to Project Blue Book Director Hector Quintanilla, the officers chased the planet Venus. Spaur stuck to the story that they had chased a physical object as others went silent, and he ended up losing his job and his family. A case that is remarkably similar is reported to have occurred in June of that year, and the officer who reported it also seems to have suffered for speaking out, but to a lesser extent than Spaur.There is an article (page 3 of the pdf) by Bob Lindsey in the October 27, 1977, Richmond, Virginia, Times Dispatch headlined “UFO Sighting Changed Stevens’ Life.” Under the headline, there is a quote from William L. Stevens Jr.: “I often stop and wonder if you’re better off when you see something like that, to keep your mouth shut.” Read more →

In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published that told the sensationalized story of a forgotten 1947 report by the U.S. Army Air Forces that they recovered a “flying disk” on a ranch in New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. This was also the year of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell” (December 26-28), and the Cash-Landrum Incident (December 29). The Cash-Landrum Incident is significant because the witnesses, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson, Colby Landrum, showed symptoms of what seemed like radiation poisoning after they reportedly saw a large craft, seemingly in distress, being escorted by as many as 23 Chinook helicopters. While all of the above cases continue to be discussed and continue to fascinate, a case that got a lot of attention that same year has been largely forgotten. It is interesting to note that it also involved what seemed to be the effects of radiation on the witnesses prior to the Cash-Landrum incident.In the September 11, 1980, Anderson, South Carolina, Daily Mail, there is an article (page 8 of the pdf) by Louise Ervin headlined “Jerry McAlister saw ‘something strange.’” Ervin, begins her article asking, “Did a vehicle from another world pay a visit to the Broadway lake area this morning?” According to her, “Jerry McAlister of Parnell Road” wasn’t sure, but was “positive he saw something strange in his back yard” at 4:20 that morning, and since then, “the news media has beaten a path to his door.” Read more →

Martin Dr. Gregory Rogers, a former NASA Chief Flight Surgeon and retired U.S. Air Force major, who has recently spoken out about a classified UFO encounter he witnessed over 30 years ago. In this in-depth discussion, Dr. Rogers revisits the moment in 1992 when he was shown a security video inside a locked room at Cape Canaveral—footage revealing a 20-foot flying saucer levitating inside a military hangar. The craft, marked “U.S. Air Force,” appeared seamless, silent, and capable of flight maneuvers beyond conventional aerospace technology. Dr. Rogers describes its sudden lift, smooth hovering, and unusual tilt—all without visible propulsion. When he asked where the craft came from, the answer was chilling: “FROM THEM.”

Martin Willis sits down with John Burroughs—eyewitness and central figure in the 1980 Rendlesham Forest Incident—and investigative reporter Toby Martinez to explore one of the most misunderstood events in modern history. Was the infamous encounter truly extraterrestrial… or something far more terrestrial and covert? John Burroughs begins with a powerful firsthand recap of the events that unfolded during those mysterious nights in December 1980, setting the stage for a deeper investigation into what really happened in the woods near RAF Bentwaters. Drawing from newly declassified intelligence, insider testimonies, and decades of suppressed defense research, this explosive conversation challenges long-held assumptions. Could the incident have been a secret electromagnetic warfare experiment conducted on allied personnel? Join us as we peel back the layers of disinformation, high strangeness, and hidden agendas in this eye-opening exposé.

🎙️ Martin interviews Professor Simon Holland in a wide-ranging discussion exploring Rendlesham Forest, government secrecy, and the growing body of evidence pointing toward non-human intelligence. 🔍 Simon shares insights into why certain locations—like Rendlesham, Skinwalker Ranch, and Lourdes—are hotspots for unexplained phenomena, describing them as having a “thin veil” between dimensions. He connects ancient history, cryptid sightings, and UFOs in Suffolk, England, long before the military arrived. 🇺🇸 The conversation delves into the Rendlesham Forest incident, the injuries suffered by U.S. servicemen like John Burroughs, and revelations from the MOD’s Condign Report, which confirmed UAP encounters and injuries at RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge. 💥 Simon presents startling claims that the Department of Energy (DOE)—not the Pentagon or Navy—may be behind secretive aerospace technologies, including man-made Tic Tac–like craft developed using advanced materials like metallic aerogel. He explains how some sightings could be linked to these high-altitude surveillance platforms, while others defy any known human tech. 🛰️ He raises questions about global responses to the UFO phenomenon, praising France and the EU for transparency while criticizing U.S. secrecy. The discussion also touches on the Vatican’s openness to extraterrestrial life and the silence of institutions like SETI and Breakthrough Listen, who may be holding back early signals of alien contact until full confirmation. 👽 Simon concludes with a provocative thought: Earth may not be particularly special—but we might be troublesome enough to warrant monitoring. Don’t miss this deep dive into high strangeness, government coverups, and the emerging scientific paradigm that suggests we’re not alone.

UFO abduction accounts of grey aliens taking people from their homes and examining them in their spaceships started becoming typical after the publication in 1981 of Budd Hopkins’s book Missing Time. However, there is an early account with these elements in the 1977 book Abducted!: Confrontations With Beings From Outer Space by the founders of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, Coral and Jim Lorenzen. The case was investigated by APRO Field Investigator Kevin Randle and APRO Consultant and Director of Research Dr. James Harder. Years later, Randle presented his thoughts on the case, which provide some insight into how the typical UFO abduction narrative might have evolved. Read more →

In 1989, the world was stunned by reports from Voronezh, Russia: a giant glowing UFO lands in a city park, towering aliens with three eyes step out alongside a mysterious robot. Witnesses claimed beams of light, children were paralyzed or turned invisible, and Soviet scientists reported "rocks not found on Earth." But is it real, or sensational journalism gone wild during Russia's glasnost era? In this video, we break down the famous Voronezh UFO landing of October 9, 1989, as reported by Tass, Associated Press, and even The New York Times. We explore the original Soviet accounts, the explosion of international coverage, and the involvement of schoolchildren witnesses whose stories grew more elaborate over time. You'll learn about: The “biolocation” methods used to "confirm" the landing site The alleged alien and robot encounter details How the story evolved in Western media The possible link to Spain's notorious UMMO Affair Jacques Vallée's investigation in Russia The real truth behind the so-called KGB involvement and Russian "occult" research

As far as well-known Australian UFO cases go, a 1988 report of an encounter in a desolate area known as the Nullarbor by the Knowles family, a mother and her three adult sons, is on a lot of lists, including Wikipedia. According to the article headlined “UFO Encounter on Nullarbor Plain Reported” in the January 21, 1988, Canberra Times, the family told police in Ceduna that they were chased by a UFO after watching it chase a truck and a car going in the opposite direction. They reported that it picked up their car, shook it violently, and then put it back down facing the other way with such force that one of the tires was blown. Sergeant Fred Longley of the Ceduna Police is quoted as saying “We have to take it seriously, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t. There were too many witnesses, the car was damaged and was covered in ash from the object and they were clearly shaken up.” While there has been much speculation as to what might have happened (and some doubt as to the validity of the story) there was another instance in Australia in 1971, that not only involved a UFO reportedly picking up a car, but seemingly carrying it for long distances.

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.
