Summary

This episode features better audio and fewer ads: Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present Lee Vander Boegh, an Emmy Award winning freelance writer, reporter and filmmaker based in Boise, Idaho. He spent nearly a decade at a local TV news station, where he helped produce "Ida-Haunts," a series of paranormal news stories (the promos he created for this series earned him two Emmys). The main focus of this episode is an article he wrote about cryptids, 10 Most Googled Monsters in the U.S. A self professed "Paranormal Agnostic," Lee doesn't discount the possibility of such phenomena, but wants irrefutable proof before calling himself a true believer. That said, he's had his fair share of "Did you see that?" moments, including an incident with a night-time aerial light so bright it burnt up his vehicle's alternator, and a one-year residency in a house that went bump-in-the-night on an uncomfortably regular basis. In his spare time he enjoys making horror films, acting, playing music and writing about himself in the third person. His horror short film, "Hinsdale," has won multiple festival awards including Best Horror Short at the 2019 Action on Film Festival and Best Horror Film and Audience choice award at the 2019 Twin Falls Film Festival.

0:27.8	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:32.5	Again this week, we're not talking about UFOs, and there's a guy on Facebook.
0:37.4	Whenever we do talk substantially about UFOs. And there's a guy on Facebook. Whenever we do talk substantially
0:39.2	about UFOs, he says, oh no, another UFO episode. When I point to episodes that we didn't talk
0:46.2	about UFOs on, I guess he listens. And I was thinking here when we talk about the current
0:53.7	interest in UFOs,
0:55.0	and our guest Lee Vanderbaud will possibly have some comments about this.
1:01.0	It came from Ray Palmer in April, 1965, and he had a magazine called Flying Saucers,
1:08.0	which covered that subject and developments in space.
1:13.0	The one thing about the magazine that was kind of different than a lot of others,
1:17.1	he did not copyright the magazine, and everybody was free to copy or reprint his material,
1:25.3	which we're actually going to do in a near-term newsletter at the Paracast
1:29.9	forums, where he makes an interesting point here where he talks about the common statement
1:37.1	from the Air Force in those days and now the Pentagon about UFOs.
1:43.3	And that is, this is what he says,
1:45.5	there is no evidence that Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial beings,
1:50.3	and there is no evidence of a threat to the security of the United States.
1:55.4	And all these years, the government representatives have basically said the same thing,
2:00.3	even though there's a lot of interest right now in the Pentagon's AARO program.
2:05.4	They come up with the same thing.
