  • Good stuff!

    I have the sense that the hosts are detached from most others in the UFO field, and maybe that’s a good thing because they have a unique approach here. I’m a student of UFO history, so it’s impressive to me that this show continues to introduce me to cases I haven’t heard about. The show’s quirky but quaint, and I always leave the show with a little more insight than when I started.

The show is current, offering the latest UFO news, but Michael’s appreciation for UFO history stands out. He does a great job honoring those who have been researching the UFO phenomenon for decades. This is important, given the increased interest in the subject by those inte... more
