Six decades before the AMC’s Walking Dead, SyFy’s Paranormal Witness, late-night radio’s Coast to Coast AM, and countless websites, blogs, books, and movies began captivating audiences with true tales of the paranormal — there was FATE — a first-of-its-kind publication dedicated to in-depth coverage of mysterious and unexplained phenomena.

We present UFO researcher Cheryl Costa, co-author of “The UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001 – 2020,” a book that presents data and analysis for 167,632 sighting reports of UFOs reported by individuals during the first 20 years of the 21st century. Since 1969, the government has claimed no interest in the subject and the press and media either ignore or ridicule mention of UFOs. Yet citizen scientists and nongovernmental organizations have continued to this day the research into this important subject. Cheryl is a native and resident of upstate New York who saw her first UFO at age 12. A military veteran, she’s a retired information security professional from the aerospace Industry. She’s been a speaker at the International UFO Congress and at the MUFON Symposium.

His study of world history, culture and philosophy over the years have helped shape his nonpartisan outlook on current events, and always with a nod to the lessons history can teach us.

What are the possible sources of UAP? The Galileo Project (Avi Loeb, Harvard University), understanding the significance of historical studies of UAP. Last but not least Micah is a fine musician and a Co-Founder / Creator & Science Writer for The Debrief.

Gene and Randall present prolific Fortean writer/researcher Red Pill Junkie (Miguel Romero). In this episode, RPJ will discuss the latest scuttlebutt in the UFO field, including the possible implications of the recent Pentagon UAP Task Force, and whether it’ll bring us any closer to a solution to the mystery. Agnostic gnostic, walking conundrum and metaphysical oxymoron (with emphasis — by his own admission — on the “moron” part ), the mysterious RPJ leaves a double life: By day he serves as Grand Master in the International Sacred Order of Lucha Libre. At night he pursues his life-long study of everything mysterious and/or “paranormal.” When he’s not exploring the web looking for his daily fix of Forteana, he can be found making artsy stuff, fooling around on social media, or offering his services as writer and news administrator at The Daily Grail.
