October 5, 2014 — Chris Aubeck

Gene and Chris present Chris Aubeck, best known as the co-author (with Jacques Vallee) of the excellent book "Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times" that "examines more than 500 selected reports of sightings from biblical-age antiquity through the year 1879-the point at which the Industrial Revolution deeply changed the nature of human society, and the skies began to open to airplanes, dirigibles, rockets, and other opportunities for misinterpretation represented by military prototypes, they reveal that unidentified flying objects have had a major impact not only on popular culture but on our history, on our religion, and on the models of the world humanity has formed from deepest antiquity." Aubeck was born in London. His interest in the historical and sociological aspects of unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age.
