Our Strange Skies: UFOs Throughout History

We're going to be taking a break from the Great UFO Conspiracy series, but before we do, I wanted y'all to hear this episode I recorded with Adam Gorightly (Historia Discordia), the author of Saucers, Spooks, and Kooks: UFO Disinformation in the Age of Aquarius. We discuss Tal Levesque, and the origins of the Dulce Base myth, Bill Moore's role in disseminating disinformation, the Pratt Tapes, the UAP Hearing, Myrna Hanson, how some groups in ufology are becoming more militarized, and much much more.
