  • Love and request for help!

    I’m so glad I found this show. I have loved every episode and thoroughly enjoy Steve’s open minded approach to interviews and sharing his opinion.

    My Q: Steve, I captured two UFOs flying in formation this summer with an immediate before and after shot. It has baffled me since and I don’t know who I can show/share it with to get feedback from and would be honored to get yours. Cheers for your thoughts!
