  • Beautiful, intimate, considered storytelling.

    It brings me so much joy that this podcast exists. In this increasingly synthetic world, where entertainment is becoming more and more led by algorithms, it’s means so much to me that there are people out there bringing these deeply humane stories to us, and framing them with such consideration.

UFO's bringing hope to earth? Roberts View From A Bridge
Q: How did the experience affect you personally and your life afterward?
It changed me profoundly; I felt both awe and fear, became obsessed with understanding it, and it altered my relationship with family, work, and my own sense of purpose, to the point where I believe it was a mission or message.
UFO's bringing hope to earth? Roberts View From A Bridge
Q: Can you walk us through what you saw that day on Tonkin Highway?
I saw three lights that moved like they were connected, then they formed into a geometric shape with blue-purple lights, hovered very close, and vanished after a moment. It was so clear and impactful that I knew it wasn't just a trick of the eye.
