    AudioBlog: MiB in Mexico
    Nov 29 2025
    by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In the August 1975, APRO Bulletin, the front-page story, headlined “UFOs ‘Escort’ Mexican Aircraft” has details of a pilot’s reported UFO encounter. Backing him up is confirmation from the air traffic controller who was in contact at the time. What’s not included are details of the aftermath, which include reports by the witness of encounters with Men in Black. This part of the story can be found in the 1990 book, The UFO Silencers by Timothy Green Beckley, and in the 1997 British UFO Research publication (page 21 of the pdf) by Robert Bull, Men in Black: A Preliminary Report.According to the Bulletin, at 10:30 a.m. on May 3, 1974, 23-year-old Carlos Antonio de los Santos Montiel, took off from Zihuatenajo, state of Guerrero, in his Piper Aztec 24 with the registration, XB-XAU. He was headed for Mexico City on a cloudy day with poor visibility and had to climb to 14,500 feet to get above it.When he was over Tequesquitengo, he dropped down to try and get a look at Lake Tequesquitengo so he could verify his position. When he got below the clouds, fog and mist near the ground blocked his view of the lake, but his attention was quickly drawn to another matter altogether. To his right, he saw a 3-meter-diameter saucer with a cupula on top that had what looked like a small window and an antenna. He looked to his left and saw an identical object. Both were 20 centimeters above the wings and about 1 ½ meters from the cabin.

    716. Matthew Szydagis
    Nov 28 2025
    🦃🧺🌽🍇🥧🍂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃🧺🌽🍇🥧🍂 In this exclusive interview, Martin Willis speaks with Professor Matthew Szydagis, Ph.D., a physicist at the University at Albany whose groundbreaking work in dark matter detection has now expanded into one of the most promising academic UAP research initiatives in the country. Following a major new endowment to UAlbany, Prof. Szydagis and his colleagues have launched a serious scientific investigation into UAP hotspots, using advanced detector technologies, atmospheric monitoring, and the same rigorous methods applied in particle astrophysics. The discussion covers the new funding and what it enables, why the team is focusing on hotspot regions, the technologies they plan to deploy—including concepts adapted from dark matter research—how academia can help answer the UAP question, Prof. Szydagis’s personal drive to understand these phenomena, the challenges and opportunities ahead for scientific UAP study, and his collaborations with Prof. Cecilia Levy and Prof. Kevin Knuth. Whether you’re interested in astrophysics, UAP science, or the future of academic research, this conversation offers a rare inside look at a university-backed effort to bring hard data and real science to the UAP mystery.

  • AudioBlog: A 1981 Close Encounter Report from Australia

    AudioBlog: A 1981 Close Encounter Report from Australia
    Nov 22 2025
    by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear
    In the January 12, 1982, New South Wales, Australia Pix-People, there is an article (page 11 of the pdf) by “Australia’s leading authority on UFOs and psychic phenomena,” John Pinkney, headlined “UFO terror grips a NSW township.” Pinkney’s weekly column for the publication is “The Pinkney Report–Investigating the Incredible.” It seems there was a flap in the town of Nowra, and one case in particular is reported to have been investigated by the Scientific Bureau of Investigation. SBI had its own publication at the time, and a report on the case was published in the Vol. 3, No. 6 SBI Report. SBI was based in Staten Island, NY, and one member readers might recognize was Peter Robbins, who is listed as art director for the magazine.According to Pinkney, “dozens of people” were “caught up in bizarre events” in Nowra, which is 150 km south of Sydney: railway men reported they saw lights hovering over abandoned mineshafts; a foal was found with its leg cut off “neatly from its shoulder; a “huge, brightly lit object” paced a bus with 40 passengers “for seven minutes, before vanishing up a shaft of light in the clouds;” a newspaper man saw a mass of what looked like meteorites fly up from the ground into the air in 1978; a 12-meter-diameter ring was found burned into a field after a farmer told police that “a weird thing had crashed on his property, starting a bushfire;” and two hunters shot at a two-meter-tall, human-like entity that vanished and left an overpowering odor that made one of the hunters sick for several hours. Pinkney’s main focus, however, is on a case involving not only some unusual trace evidence, but physical effects on the witness as well.According to Pinkney, Frank Burke, a pastrycook, was driving through the Kangaroo Valley heading home from work at around 10:30 p.m. when a “blazing light” engulfed the car. Burke said it lit up the area in a radius of around 25 feet and “was so intense I could have read the fine print of a newspaper or counted the ants at the roadside.” He was listening to music coming from a cassette player/recorder sitting on the seat next to him, and it stopped playing as soon as the light came down.

  • 713. Ryan Kralik UAP & Consciousness

    713. Ryan Kralik UAP & Consciousness
    Nov 21 2025
    Join Martin Willis as he sits down with researcher, author, and trained remote viewer Ryan Kralik to explore the ideas behind his forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Kralik proposes a groundbreaking model in which matter, life, consciousness—and even UFO phenomena—are emergent expressions of information seeking stability, structure, and meaning. Drawing from years of analytical work in communication and technology, combined with his background in psi research and anomaly investigation, he examines how reality may encode experience itself. We discuss how this framework may help explain UFO/UAP encounters, remote viewing, synchronicities, and the deeper architecture of consciousness. If you’re interested in cutting-edge theories at the intersection of UFOs, mind, and physics, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

    712. Bill Chalker Returns
    Nov 19 2025
    After a major blackout cut short our previous interview, Martin Willis interviews Bill Chalker — one of Australia’s most respected UFO researchers — returns for a deep dive into historic Australian UFO encounters that shaped the country’s extraordinary UFO legacy. From the mysterious 1868 Parramatta contact case and the 1927 Fernvale “Mothman-style” phenomenon, to the postwar wave of landings and close encounters, Bill brings decades of meticulous research, field investigations, and scientific inquiry to light. With his background in chemistry and forensic analysis, Bill discusses how historical cases still hold valuable clues to the modern UAP mystery, and how Australia’s UFO story connects to the global enigma.

  • PART II: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada

    PART II: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada
    Nov 16 2025
    by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearIn last week’s blog, we looked at a case from British Columbia that involved two witnesses who said they not only saw a UFO on the night of October 3, 1981, described as an upside-down flying saucer with its dome underneath surrounded by four lights that were in the 3,6,9, and 12 o’clock positions, but also had encounters with MiB types afterwards. The main witness, a 16-year-old who ran his own security company, Grant Breiland, reportedly took a photo that was not developed at the time of the article. The other witness, identified only as “N.B.” was a 19-year-old male who said he saw the same object. Breiland was interviewed extensively by former University of Victoria linguistics professor, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards. Edwards wrote a report that was published in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review.When we left off, Breiland had just been confronted in the glass-doored vestibule of a shopping mall by two men dressed in extremely dark blue clothing. They were stiff and robotic, had tanned faces and lips the same color, no eyebrows, and “Eton crop” haircuts. He was scared by not only their non-human appearance, but also by the fact that there were suddenly no people to be seen anywhere, which was the case during the entire encounter. According to Edwards, they asked him what his name was, where he lived, what his phone number was, and he refused to answer. After staring at him for five seconds, they turned on their heels “as one man,” walked outside (it was raining), crossed the sidewalk to the road, went left, and walked in sync in a military fashion. Breiland followed them and watched as they walked onto a muddy, excavated field and then vanished before his eyes. He ran to the spot where they disappeared and saw they had left no footprints.

    AudioBlog: A 1981 MiB Report From British Columbia, Canada
    Nov 16 2025
    by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearMen in Black stories are almost as old as the modern UFO mystery, starting with the 1947 Maury Island Incident. This aspect of the phenomenon became firmly cemented with Gray Barker’s 1956 book, They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers, and it plays a big part in John Keel’s 1975 book, The Mothman Prophecies. Keel was of the mind that MiBs were not human beings from secret government organizations out to silence witnesses, but creatures of a much stranger origin. Supporting this is a 1981 report (page 8 of the pdf) out of Canada that is presented in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review. Read more →
