Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UFOs Are Just the Latest Costume | Joshua Cutchin on Fairies, Fiction & the Phenomenon
Q: Do you think ontological shock about aliens has sailed, or will there be a new defiant moment?
Ontological shock remains relevant; as novelty increases in the 2020s, the possibility of disruption endures, especially as faith in institutions erodes and disclosure events unfold.
Thomas Jane Is Looking for Answers | Reality, NHI & The Hard Problem of Consciousness
Q: What was yours? Walk me through your origin story with this.
Thomas Jane describes a lifelong interest in science fiction and science, a pivotal 2011 experience that could not be explained by physicalist models, and how this shattered his worldview, leading him to explore thousands of contact experiences and to pursue a book and public discussion to raise awareness.
UFO Encounters and the Stories Behind Blue Book with Michael Avon Oeming #paranormal #comics
Q: How do you stay neutral when adapting these accounts into comics?
By sticking to witness words, including debunked aspects when supported by evidence, and grounding the visuals in context so readers can form their own conclusions, rather than forcing a single interpretation.
UFO Encounters and the Stories Behind Blue Book with Michael Avon Oeming #paranormal #comics
Q: What drew you to the Betty and Barney Hill story as the starting point?
The Hill story presents a powerful human narrative at a pivotal historical moment and serves as a strong template for discussing abduction narratives with empathy and accuracy.
UFO Encounters and the Stories Behind Blue Book with Michael Avon Oeming #paranormal #comics
Q: Tell me about how Blue Book and Red Book frame the UFO stories geographically and historically.
Blue Book covers American cases while Red Book expands to Russia, China, and other parts of the world, using the books as a compass to tell human-centered stories across eras like Betty and Barney Hill and the Dyatlov Pass incidents.
