November 6, 2022 — Nick Redfern with Tim Swartz
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present very prolific author Nick Redfern, who will discuss his recent book, "How Antigravity Built the Pyramids: The Mysterious Technology of Ancient Superstructures." Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn’t take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials? Nick is a full-time author and journalist specializing in a wide range of unsolved mysteries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

October 16, 2022 — Shop Talk Featuring Curt Collins and Tim Swartz
A special shop talk episode featuring a historical perspective of the UFO field with Gene and cohosts Curt Collins and Tim Swartz. Among the topics that will be discussed is the possibility that some UFOs — certainly not all sightings — might have resulted from flights (or crashes?) of test aircraft. And what about possible government mind control experiments involving some flying saucer contactees and abductees? Among other cases, Curt has taken a particular interest in the 1980 Cash-Landrum Texas UFO Encounter. After a career in retail management Curt began writing about UFOs, with a special interest in re-investigating that paradoxical case, from which the eyewitnesses evidently suffered from an assortment of injuries and illnesses. Curt has written entries for such books as "American Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales: An Encyclopedia of American Folklore," "UFOs: Reframing the Debate," and "What’s Wrong with this Picture," examining the “Roswell Slides” fiasco.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

October 2, 2022 — Bernard Beitman, MD and Tim Swartz
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz explore the frontiers of reality with Bernard Beitman, MD, author of Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen. He writes that each of us has more to do with creating coincidences than we think. In this comprehensive exploration of the potential of coincidences to expand our understanding of reality, he explores why and how coincidences, synchronicity, and serendipity happen and how to use these common occurrences to inspire psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual growth. Exploring the crucial role of personal agency—individual thought and action—in synchronicities and serendipities, Dr. Beitman shows that there’s much more behind these occurrences than “fate” or “randomness.” They can be clues to the functioning of the psychosphere, our mental atmosphere through which many of them happen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Forty years of employment at the fabled Air Force Base, where Roswell crash wreckage was allegedly examined, has given Raymond unique access to locations and individuals providing tantalizing information on Men in Black, dead aliens, and the elusive Hangar 18. Is there really a Hangar 18, or is that just a rumor or fodder for sci-fi stories? He also discusses such classic cases as the 1965 UFO “Incident at Exeter, the 1966 Michigan “Swamp Gas” UFO, the 1975 Travis Walton abduction, and the 1980 Rendlesham Forest encounters.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.
