It's kind of the Paracast with your host, Gene Steinberg and David Beetti.

It's kind of interesting how we get guests on the show.

Sometimes, you know, we write them for months, no answer.

Sometimes they'll just respond.

They want to get on the show.

And sometimes they just drop in, like right now.

I'm looking here.

We've got Bud Hopkins just sitting there hanging out.

Bud, how you doing? Pretty well. Thank you. You see what I mean?

My summer place in Wellfleet and looking out at a rainy day, but it's really beautiful.

You know, I was thinking here, people always ask us in our forums to ask specific questions.

And a lot of times when you go on shows, people kind of ask you the same old questions

all over again, and that's the entire interview.

Here on the powercast, we kind of like to do things a little differently.

But because there are people there who maybe haven't heard about you in recent years, I've got to ask the opening question.

I know David and I answered this.

We both read a UFO book at the age of 11.

How did you get involved in this nutty, crazy business?

Okay.

This is the shortest version I could make.

The first thing was I had a UFO Daylight Dix fighting in 1964 with two other people.

This happened in Cape Cod on the way to party in Provincetown.
