Gene and cohost Tim Swartz discuss the suppressed secrets of early America and other parts of the world with Rick Osmon. At the top of the agenda is "Lost America,"  a docutainment streaming video series about ancient places, ancient people, and ancient mysteries. Osman and his crew explore those people, places, and things in North America that don't seem to fit the narrative we heard in school about the people who lived here before us. They also explore some of the ugly events that happened in the history of the United States to suppress the truth about such things, some of which involve famous figures in the country's history. And that's just the beginning. You can check out a trailer for "Lost America" at Vimeo. In his prior life, Osmon worked in the defense industry for more than 25 years in sensor systems acquisition and testing. Radar, LIDAR, Night vision, laser aiming and target designation systems, and navigation aids were his main areas of regard. He brought those technical skills to bear in investigating ancient mysteries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
