On September 3, 1965, a series of extraordinary UFO encounters shook the quiet town of Exeter, New Hampshire. Witnessed by multiple people—including two police officers—the events became one of the most compelling and well-documented UFO cases in American history. In this special episode, host Martin Willis is joined by Peter Robbins, long-time UFO researcher and co-author of Nightmare in Exeter, and UFO Jack (Who had his own Exeter, NH UFO incident), to revisit the dramatic details of the Exeter Incident. Together, they’ll break down the sequence of sightings, the credibility of the witnesses, and the enduring impact of this case nearly 60 years later. We’ll also touch on the Exeter UFO Festival, a community event that continues to honor the mystery, bringing researchers, experiencers, and the public together in the very town where it all began. https://exeterufofestival.orgSupport the Show & Stay Connected!👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO🛸Did you have a UFO/UAP Encounter?

Back in 2007, James witnessed a brilliant fireball-like UFO that appeared to interact with his thoughts. Soon after, he experienced an out-of-body state triggered by trauma, and even received what he describes as a telepathic call urging him to step outside. What followed was a stunning face-to-face encounter with a massive, low-flying craft—observed not only by James, but also by his own family. Since then, James has dedicated himself to exploring the intersection of UFO encounters, consciousness, and human contact. In this interview, he recounts his powerful story, delves into the mysteries of altered states, and shares insights gained through years of practicing CE-5. If you’ve ever wondered about the connection between UFO contact and the human mind, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. SHOW NOTESSupport the Show & Stay Connected!👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:   / martinwillispodcastufo  🛸Did you have a UFO/UAP Encounter?

The first two years of the 1970s seems to have been a slow period for UFO reports in the U.S. if the 1970 and 1971 UFO Chronology hosted on the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena website is any indication, with the 1970 chronology consisting of 5 pages, and the 1971 consisting of 8 pages. As a comparison, the 1966 chronology page count is 35 and the 1967 count is a massive 85. This might have been expected after the release of the Condon Report and the termination of Blue Book. There is a comment to this effect in the 1971 chronology: “An apparent lull in sighting reports may be the result of the closing of Project Blue Book and the media coverage of this for several years, and may not reflect the actual situation.” By 1973, things would pick up in the U.S. in a big way (35 pages in that chronology) with high-strangeness cases dominating the headlines. However, there seems to have been a head start on this in other parts of the world and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization had people in place to investigate and report. Read more →Support the Show & Stay Connected! 👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO🛸Did you have a UFO/UAP Encounter?

In this riveting interview, Martin Willis speaks with retired U.S. Air Force Captain Dave Schindele, a former Missile Launch Control Officer, who recounts a harrowing and long-suppressed incident from September 1966. While stationed at Minot Air Force Base, Schindele and his crew took over a missile site—only to discover that all 10 nuclear-tipped Minuteman ICBMs had been mysteriously rendered unlaunchable after a chilling encounter with a "flying object." Despite the severity of the breach, no one was ever questioned, and everyone involved was told to “forget it ever happened.” Now, after decades of silence, Schindele is sharing his story, the cover-up, and his deep insights into what this means for national security and the UFO/UAP phenomenon. 📘 David Schindele is the author of It Never Happened – a book that details this incredible and disturbing event.SHOW NOTESSupport the Show & Stay Connected!🛸Did you have a UFO/UAP Encounter?

Award-winning filmmaker and long-time MUFON investigator Jennifer Stein joins Martin Willis to discuss her decades in UFO research, her documentary work on the Travis Walton abduction case, and the high-strangeness of Sedona, Arizona. Jennifer shares her experiences at Bradshaw Ranch—rumored to be near an underground military facility—where she’s witnessed mysterious lights rising from the ground, unusual orbs, and persistent military helicopter activity. She explains Sedona’s energy vortexes, rapid synchronicities, and why the region has become a hotspot for paranormal phenomena. The conversation turns to the Skyfire Summit—a special four-day event marking the 50th anniversary of Travis Walton’s 1975 abduction. Jennifer details her journey making Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, the challenges of film rights disputes, and how recent debunking campaigns mirror the tactics of legendary UFO skeptic Philip Klass. From the refusal of Snowflake, AZ officials to embrace their UFO history, to the shifting landscape of UFO disclosure, congressional hearings, and the recent shutdown of AARO, Jennifer pulls no punches.SHOW NOTES Support the Show & Stay Connected!👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO🧢 Podcast UFO Merch (Shirts, Hats & More): https://tinyurl.com/mrybmnwb📬 FREE Sign Up for Our Weekly Newsletter — Get updates on upcoming guests, blog posts, and more:http://eepurl.com/LPHKD📱 Follow us on Social Media:Twitter (X): https://x.com/PodcastUFOFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastUFO📺 Subscribe on YouTube (It’s Free!):https://www.youtube.com/user/PodcastUFO?sub_confirmation=1📧 Contact:producer@podcastufo.com

On the morning of April 17, 1966, two sheriff deputies, Dale Spaur and Wilbur “Barney” Neff, chased a UFO from Portage County, Ohio, for 86 miles all the way into Pennsylvania. They chased the object at speeds ranging from 80 mph to 105 mph. According to them, there were times when the object actually stopped and waited for them to catch up to it. Other law enforcement officers witnessed the object after being alerted by radio communications between the deputies and their dispatcher. According to Project Blue Book Director Hector Quintanilla, the officers chased the planet Venus. Spaur stuck to the story that they had chased a physical object as others went silent, and he ended up losing his job and his family. A case that is remarkably similar is reported to have occurred in June of that year, and the officer who reported it also seems to have suffered for speaking out, but to a lesser extent than Spaur.There is an article (page 3 of the pdf) by Bob Lindsey in the October 27, 1977, Richmond, Virginia, Times Dispatch headlined “UFO Sighting Changed Stevens’ Life.” Under the headline, there is a quote from William L. Stevens Jr.: “I often stop and wonder if you’re better off when you see something like that, to keep your mouth shut.” Read more →

In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published that told the sensationalized story of a forgotten 1947 report by the U.S. Army Air Forces that they recovered a “flying disk” on a ranch in New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. This was also the year of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell” (December 26-28), and the Cash-Landrum Incident (December 29). The Cash-Landrum Incident is significant because the witnesses, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson, Colby Landrum, showed symptoms of what seemed like radiation poisoning after they reportedly saw a large craft, seemingly in distress, being escorted by as many as 23 Chinook helicopters. While all of the above cases continue to be discussed and continue to fascinate, a case that got a lot of attention that same year has been largely forgotten. It is interesting to note that it also involved what seemed to be the effects of radiation on the witnesses prior to the Cash-Landrum incident.In the September 11, 1980, Anderson, South Carolina, Daily Mail, there is an article (page 8 of the pdf) by Louise Ervin headlined “Jerry McAlister saw ‘something strange.’” Ervin, begins her article asking, “Did a vehicle from another world pay a visit to the Broadway lake area this morning?” According to her, “Jerry McAlister of Parnell Road” wasn’t sure, but was “positive he saw something strange in his back yard” at 4:20 that morning, and since then, “the news media has beaten a path to his door.” Read more →
