Summary

Gene and guest co-host Curtis Collins present long-time UFO researcher and author Jerome Clark, who will discuss an article he wrote for Fortean Times entitled, "Mr. Wilson and the aeronauts of 1897," and whether some of those sightings were genuine events, an elaborate fiction or something else: what Jerry calls an "experience anomaly." He'll also cover the history of the field, and whether anything has been accomplished towards understanding the phenomenon . And why has he once again been drawn into the field after a period of relative inactivity? His books include the multivolume magnum opus, "The UFO Encyclopedia." He's also a songwriter whose music has been recorded or performed by musicians such as Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Tom T. Hall.

1:13.5	Oh, no.
1:14.2	No, I remember them.
1:15.9	Who could forget them?
1:17.0	I mean, that was, here we still are.
1:19.6	They must have made an impression on us.
1:22.4	Either that or it caused a mental illness from which we cannot recover.
1:29.4	Oh, we're just creatures of habits.

2:03.4	In exchange for which I had a staff physician on Saucer News as its managing editor.
2:09.7	So I guess I was complicit in some of the things he did then.
