Summary

Most of us go on about our lives, enjoying the predictable routine of family, work, and if we're lucky, a little bit of leisure. Usually, nothing too out of the ordinary happens from day to day, and although it may seem dull, we forget it's also comforting. But if you're Orfeo Angelucci – aerospace worker, family man, thoughtful but average citizen, one day you get contacted by a race of advanced, extraterrestrial beings that reveal to you the secret of the universe, your purpose here, and the task ahead that would change his life forever. This was the incredible claim in Angelucci's book, The Secret of the Saucers, which tells the story of his contact with a pair of kind, ethereal entities, who want him to share their message of peace and love for the human race. But these warm greetings came with a warning: that we must change our harmful ways or else suffer the fate of the world that came before us. Spreading this message caused no small amount of ridicule and hardship for Orfeo and his family, but as the legends tell us, being a messenger to the world can be a blessing but also a curse and the challenge requires courage. Join us tonight as Rich Hatem returns to discuss Angelucci's wondrous story. Whether you choose to believe Orfeo or dismiss it all as a fanciful daydream, it's hard to deny that the message for Earth has real beauty in its truth.

0:10.0	Yeah.
0:10.5	No, it's just a very, a thousand different ways to inflect and we're back.
0:14.3	All right. Well, it's reasonable to say that in another year, so Estonishing Legends may be an
0:18.4	actual going concern with a modest income, 2.5 employees, and a chance to thrive. You can help
0:24.0	us get there by telling everyone you know about our show. And if they don't know what a podcast
0:28.0	is, teach them how to find us. Independent shows like ours rely more on word of mouth than you can
0:32.8	imagine. That we do. And we can't thank you enough for listening regularly and more importantly,
0:38.4	supporting our sponsors when you can. If things continue as they've been going, it's possible we
0:43.3	might be able to keep doing this indefinitely. Okay, don't say that. It's all I can do to keep sitting here.
0:59.0	Welcome back to Estonishing Legends. I'm Scott Philbrook and this is Forest Burgess.
1:06.5	I had the uncomfortable feeling as they studied me that they knew every thought in my mind.
1:11.2	Everything I'd ever done and a vast amount about me that I didn't even know myself.
1:15.3	Intuitively, I sense that I stood in a kind of spiritual nakedness before them.
1:19.4	Orphaeo Angelucci, the secret of the saucers.
1:22.4	Join us tonight as we take a look at Orphaeo Angelucci's Estonishing Tale of contact with extra

1:34.7	All right, first thing I want to say is welcome back to Richard Hadham.
1:38.5	Is my mic on? Your mic is on finally.
