Summary

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz welcome guest cohost Curt Collins to a fearless UFO Roundtable. The main item on the agenda is the arrival of "Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs" from Luis Elizondo, a former intelligence officer and a former part of a Pentagon UAP project. And what about the serious errors reported in the book? There will also be a discussion of the influences of flying saucers on pop culture. After a career in retail management Curt began writing about UFOs, with a special interest in re-investigating the paradoxical 1980 Texas Cash-Landrum case. He is the author behind the website The Saucers That Time Forgot, along with Claude Falkstrom, focused on unearthing “tales that UFO history has overlooked, or would rather forget.” Curt's work has been featured in documentaries and television shows, and he made a brief appearance in the 2015 documentary "Cosmic Whistleblowers" by Simon Sharman, and was an uncredited consultant for: Hangar 1 episode “UFOs Over Texas” 5/22/15, History Channel and NASA’s Unexplained Files episode “Top Secret Terror” 3/5/15, Science Channel.
