Summary

Our guest, Col. John Alexander, needs no introduction. He is easily one of the most enigmatic and intriguing figures in ufology today. He did this show after he completed another in a series of world-wide journeys and and was invited to The Paracast to share his thoughts on the interconnectedness of paranormal phenomena. He writes, "There is no doubt about the physical reality of some UFOs. The hard evidence, however, suggests they are part of a far greater mystery; one that engulfs many phenomena. Traditional Western science has created blinders and ignores inconvenient facts that are accepted readily in other societies." Alexander has firmly established UFO existence and will "explore their relationship to wonders long known to indigenous shamans all over the world."

0:00.0	You're in the Paracast.
0:01.0	You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
0:28.3	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:34.1	Here with Gene and Chris on the Paracast,
0:40.7	and it's kind of interesting what a skeptic makes.
0:46.1	So, for example, when we had Robert Schaefer, he tended to be somewhat polarizing as we expect because he's very outspoken in his beliefs that there's nothing to any of this paranormal stuff.
0:51.4	Then a couple of weeks later, we had Ben Radford, but he's a very nice guy.
0:55.7	So maybe he doesn't say things that aren't so different. You know, he doesn't really give you
1:01.0	that much of an alternative to his skepticism, but he seems so reasonable.
1:06.4	Yeah. He also seems willing to listen when he makes a mistake.
1:15.1	So, for example, we pointed out a few problems with the book.
1:17.2	And he wrote me a few days later.
1:21.1	He said, I'm writing this down to make sure that if we do a second edition, which is never guaranteed with a paranormal book, he will make sure these corrections are made.
1:26.8	Now, the one thing that did bother me, though, is he said
1:29.2	one of the reasons the book took a while to finish is because the people over at the university
1:35.5	spent, what, two years to vet this book. And despite that, they still didn't realize that Chris
1:42.0	O'Brien was one of the people who exposed the Crystal
1:45.4	Skull mystery because he only read one of his books not realizing there was a second book
1:49.6	and a third book in the Mysterious Valley series, still thinking that Kevin Randall believed
1:55.3	in the Aztec UFO crash, even though he is famously doesn't believe it.
2:00.3	Maybe he did early on 25 years ago or accepted some of it, but not lately, not at all.
