  • More than UFO’s

    From book reviews and bakery’s this pod does it better than the rest. The dynamic duo are so knowledgeable and interesting it puts it over the top for me. These two could do a pod on any topic and I will tune in. Wish they would do a YouTube channel with video

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Retired Police Officers Marianne Robb and Dave Rich investigate a 911 Ghost Call and a UFO seen near the Travis Walton abduction site/ It's our 150th episode!
Q: What challenges do officers face when coming forward about these incidents?
Officers risk ridicule, career consequences, and skepticism from peers; the podcast emphasizes maintaining anonymity if desired and highlights that the emotional burden is often a barrier to disclosure, which UAP-PD aims to alleviate through supportive dialogue and community.
Retired Police Officers Marianne Robb and Dave Rich investigate a 911 Ghost Call and a UFO seen near the Travis Walton abduction site/ It's our 150th episode!
Q: Have you seen official protocols within police for handling UFO or paranormal reports?
Not official protocols, but there are informal anecdotes and cultural adaptations in some communities (notably on some reservations) where officers have established unspoken practices and collaborations with local experts or shamans to address attachments or disturbances.
Retired Police Officers Marianne Robb and Dave Rich investigate a 911 Ghost Call and a UFO seen near the Travis Walton abduction site/ It's our 150th episode!
Q: Why did Marianne Robb and Dave Rich start UAP-PD?
They founded UAP-PD after realizing law enforcement lacked a formal outlet to discuss unexplained encounters, and after conversations with allies in the UFO community, they pursued a path to help first responders talk about experiences in a nonjudgmental, supportive environment.
David Oranchak, the man who cracked the Zodiac Killer's 340 Cipher, decodes a UFO message and weighs in on alien symbols and hidden codes.
Q: What got you interested in cryptology?
David explains that the Zodiac 340 Cipher and the Fincher film spurred his interest, combining programming and puzzle solving with cryptographic challenges.
The Southland Encounter: The night an 800 foot long USO shut down the HMNZS Southland. Sonar operator David Barnett talks about what happened that night
Q: How did the crew react as the USO closed in and the ship went dark?
There was no panic or discussion because there was no time—people focused on their stations, tried to understand what was happening, and then they moved as best they could in near-total darkness, waiting for any sign of life or power to return.
