Classic Episode: June 8, 2014 — UFOs: Ted Roe of NARCAP
Gene and Chris present Ted Roe, Executive Director of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena. NARCAP was founded in 1999 by Chief Scientist Dr. Richard Haines and Roe. Their information page says, that, "Through careful planning and execution, NARCAP has grown to be a respected research organization dedicated to studying UAP and aviation safety for the public's benefit." Listeners will notice that they refer to such objects as UAP, short for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The term UFO is not used in their ongoing research, and we'll focus on the best cases they've investigated and, of course, listener questions. Curioiusly, it's a label later attached to such phenomena by the U.S. government, although nowdays it refers to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

August 3, 2025 — UFO Hoaxes with John Keeling
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present skeptical UFO researcher John Keeling, author of "LANDED! The Great British Flying Saucer Hoax & Other Extraterrestrial Spoofs." It asks some important questions: What would we do if aliens landed? Would we offer greetings? Would we panic? Or would we shoot to kill? In 1967, a maverick group of British students wanted to know. As apprentices at Farnborough’s prestigious Royal Aircraft Establishment, they hatched an ingenious and audacious plot to test the authorities; landing multiple flying saucers across the width of England. Not only would "The Great Flying Saucer Hoax" challenge the Police, the Royal Air Force, the Army, and numerous government ministries, it also confronted Ufologists with the scenario they continuously prophesize (and claim to be prepared for). John's book also chronicles many other instances of extraterrestrial spoofing, to examine what such incidents might tell us about our hopes and fears of potential contact. After years of research, John does not embrace the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the phenomenon. John has written for The Fortean Times, and in addition to creating social media content for the East Anglian Astrophysical Research Organisation’s proposed UK SETI project, is completing his next book. He lives on the Essex coast, close to his two daughters.
