Summary
In 1980, Paul Bennewitz was convinced that he was about to crack open the entire UFO mystery... and as his paranoia over what he believed were alien signals he had intercepted near Kirtland Air Force Base increased, his mental health continued to decline.
The strange tale of Paul Bennewitz is only one of the areas that researcher Greg Bishop has explored in books like Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth. This week, Bishop joins us to share his insights on recent events in ufology and discusses the odd side of U.S. government involvement with research into these phenomena on The Micah Hanks Program.
