Summary

Gene and Chris present Chris Aubeck, best known as the co-author (with Jacques Vallee) of the excellent book "Wonders in the Sky: Unexplained Aerial Objects from Antiquity to Modern Times" that "examines more than 500 selected reports of sightings from biblical-age antiquity through the year 1879-the point at which the Industrial Revolution deeply changed the nature of human society, and the skies began to open to airplanes, dirigibles, rockets, and other opportunities for misinterpretation represented by military prototypes, they reveal that unidentified flying objects have had a major impact not only on popular culture but on our history, on our religion, and on the models of the world humanity has formed from deepest antiquity." Aubeck was born in London. His interest in the historical and sociological aspects of unexplained aerial phenomena began at an early age.

0:00.0	You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of Paranormal Radio.
0:28.0	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:33.1	Our success rate with having the greatest guests ever on the Paracast this year continues unabated.

0:51.3	And we'll refer to him as Chris A and we'll refer to our Chris as either Chris
0:56.7	O or Chris B depending on my point of view if I don't call him by his original birth name K.K. Barnes.
1:03.6	In any case, Chris Abeck, of course, is the co-author with Jacques Valle of Wonders in the Sky,
1:10.4	which is basically a book that covers older UFO cases
1:15.6	from biblical ages to 1879. So if we want to think that maybe UFOs are all secret weapons,
1:24.0	what kind of secret weapons they have in 1879 that cause all these things to happen.
1:29.7	And we'll, of course, be having Chris A.
1:32.7	Answer your questions about all this.
1:34.9	But before we move beyond that, let's get to the beginning here.

1:40.2	What attracted you to the study of folklore, UFOs, things like that?
1:46.3	Hi, yeah. Well, when I was about 13 years old, I decided I wanted to read every book
1:53.8	ever published in the local university library. So I'd spend long hours there just sitting at a table and I'd be playing
2:04.1	truant half the time, to be honest, and just going through every book on folklore, Greek
2:09.8	mythology and so on that I could find. I became interested in parapsychology first,
