You've entered the Paracast with your host, Jane Steinberg and David Biedi.

David, I wondered about this for James Steinberg and David Beetti.

David, I wondered about this for a long time, and certainly when I was younger,

and these events were more recent in my memory, it wasn't so much of an issue.

But now we're looking at some of the most important things we've talked about on the show involve events that are 50 and 60 years old,

like Roswell, like the UFO flap in 1952, like Flatwoods, Aztec, New Mexico.

And each year we hear more and more stuff, but we don't know whether the years have inflated the stories or not,

and whether the basic story was anything like the stuff that we hear now.

And you have to wonder, we had the O'Hare sighting back in 2006.

Why are we worrying about 1947? What do you think?

Well, there are a couple of reasons for that, Gene.

I suspect that a large part of it is because you've got so many people who have spent so much time looking at some of these original cases like Roswell that simply there's a body of research that spans 20, 30 years that exists that can't be denied.

I mean, generally I agree with you.

I think that there are more recent cases that are much more compelling, certainly, in terms of having

witnesses that are alive and maybe even available.

Things like not the Phoenix Lights episode, but the big crap that was seen earlier that

evening.

I think that's really relevant or the many things that have been going on in Central and South

America over the last 20 or 30 years.

I've talked about some of my experiences along those lines, but there's a huge body of evidence out

there that, you think about when we had Roger Lear on talking about Varginia in Brazil,
