Summary

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a thought-provoking talk with UFO historian and author Chris Aubeck, who reveals secrets about the origins of the terms flying saucer and ancient artifacts. Only these secrets were always in plain sight according to two of his books, “Alien Artifacts: The forgotten story of how we came to believe in visitors from the stars” and “Saucers: Tracing the Origins of Disc-Shaped UFOs.” Aubeck’s interest in the historical and sociological aspects of unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age. A student of language and folklore, he has helped compile the largest collection of pre-1947 UFO cases in the world. He has spoken on his research in many articles and on public radio. In 2008 he was awarded a prize for his contributions to the field by the Spanish organization Fundación Anomalía. In 2003 Chris Aubeck co-founded a remarkable collaborative network of librarians, students and scholars of paranormal history on the Internet. This group, known as the Magonia Project, extends from North and Central America to Russia and Germany.

0:36.4	Tim and I were talking about AI. And the reason is that
0:41.7	Tim has this robotic vacuum cleaner, which is very elementary, I assume. Or does it speak back to you?
0:51.3	It doesn't speak back to me. It announces itself before it starts and when it finishes, but there's no interaction back
0:59.0	and forth.
1:00.0	That's done entirely through text, through your cell phone.
1:04.0	Really elementary.
1:06.0	It doesn't say I'm sorry, Tim, but I cannot do that. I could probably program it to do that and freak
1:13.8	my wife and kid out. Oh, that sounds like fun. Now, then, of course, we'd have to go to the UK or
1:22.5	something and see if we can do it with Chris Abeck. Well, Chris is in Spain, so I'm not quite sure.
1:28.4	Oh, you're in Spain.
1:29.5	Oh, you're in Spain.
1:30.7	Okay.

1:34.3	Hi, yeah.
1:35.5	I'm in a town called Barajoth, which is in Estremadura, very old and very pretty region, slightly underdeveloped economically and in every other way.
1:51.2	But it's a wonderful place to live, to write, to do research.
