Summary

Bryce and Ross mark 75 years since 1947, "The Summer of the Saucers." It's considered the beginning of the modern UFO era. They recount a couple of prominent incidents in those early days, and flash forward to today and word that NASA will launch a UAP study - albeit a very quick and barely funded study. Also: are drones the new swap gas? That is, an easy and lazy way for UAP doubters to explain away sightings?

Real talk about the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena.

0:16.1

From Australia, Ross Colthart, from the U.S. Bryce Zabel.

0:21.2

Hello and welcome to Need to Know, the podcast that chases down the latest news

0:27.4

and analyzes the important issues in the fascinating world of UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena.

0:35.7

I'm Ross Coulthart from Down Under in Australia and from Los Angeles.

0:40.2

Let's welcome my co-host and fellow Denison in the high strangeness world investigating the

0:46.5

phenomenon, Bryce Zabel. Hey, Roscoe. You know, we're about to start summer here, which means,

0:52.7

if I'm not mistaken, you're about to start winter, right?

0:56.1

Yep, and that's why I sound like Foghorn-Leghorn. I have a cold. I had my first cold of the year.

1:02.5

Well, I'm excited, actually, because, you know, tomorrow, my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary, oddly enough, by going up to Santa Barbara to see Bob Dylan

1:12.4

play at the Santa Barbara Bowl because it's a beautiful location, it's outdoors, and you can get

1:17.5

out and enjoy yourself. You know, did you know that Bob Dylan was born in May of 1941,

1:22.8

which means that he was born before the UFO coverup kicked off in earnest in 1947, and that's something,

as Ross said, that we're going to be talking about later today. Now, the great thing I like about

1:33.9

Dylan, besides a lifetime of really compelling songs, is there's always a lyric or a quote for

1:39.8

practically any occasion. So you might say, well, what about disclosure? Well, the easy go-to for disclosure

1:46.0

of UAP, UFO reality would probably be the times they are at change in. But, you know, that feels

1:51.8

too easy. It's not on his set list. So to kick us off today, I'm picking a song that's in Bob's

1:57.5

Concert's Playlist and off his new album, which is called Rough and Routy Ways.
