Roswell, German Saucers, UFO Related Military Experiments

Exploring the Bizarre (KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcome DON SIEDENBURG, one of our most unusual guests. The rumors have circulated for years that technology of some sort was retrieved from a crashed UFO, either from Roswell, or some other crash during the late 1940s. The late Col. Philip Corso claimed that he was given the responsibility to farm out a small number of unknown items taken from the Roswell UFO in order to discover what they were and how they could be reproduced. This week's guest on Exploring the Bizarre, Don Siedenburg, claims that more than electronics or hardware was retrieved from a crashed UFO. Siedenburg says that he was part of a military experiment testing an alleged extraterrestrial "food source." Don Siedenburg was 18 years old when he enlisted with the United States Army in 1954. He spent the first three weeks of his enlistment at Edwards Air Force Base in California where he participated in the testing of a food source that supposedly came from extraterrestrial sources. This is one of the few shows Don has consented to do, though he does welcome contact through Face Book and there are several of his videos "floating around" on YouTube.

The Mythology Of UFOlogy By A Long Time Student

Hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcome to Exploring The Bizarre (KCORradio.com) DAVE HALPERIN whose friendship with Beckley goes back to when they were both teenagers. In the UFO controversy, the skeptics are right about the less important point: UFOs have no physical existence. TheUFOlogists are right about the more important point: UFOs are a vitally important subject, never to be dismissed as “bunk” or “claptrap.” Attention must be paid. UFOs, like religion, are a human phenomenon. They have nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. Back in the 1960s, David Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist. Later he became a Professor of Religious Studies at theUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he taught until his retirement in 2000. His specialty: religious traditions of heavenly ascent and otherworldly journeys. He is the author of five books on Jewish mysticism and messianism, and a novel, "Journal of a UFO Investigator," published in 2011 by Viking Press and translated into Spanish, Italian, and German. His non-fiction book, "Intimate Alien: The Hidden Story of the UFO," will be published next year by Stanford University Press. He blogs on UFOs, religion, and other subjects dear to his heart at www.davidhalperin.net.

Is DOGMAN a Shape Shifter?

Exploring The Bizare" (KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swarts talk with JOHN KACHUBA about: "Shedding Our Skin For Something Better." Call them Skin-Walkers, Kitsune, Rougarou, or probably the best known through Hollywood and pop culture, the Werewolf. The notion of shapeshifters, a person that can take the shape of another creature, can be traced back thousands of years, permeating various cultures and religions. Fairy tales and mythology abound with tales of shapeshifters, who, usually with the help of magical powers, could transform themselves at will. While others would take on the form of an animal against their will because they had been cursed. Even modern tales involving UFOs have their shapeshifters known as Reptilians. These creatures are believed to be a race of aliens who have infiltrated mankind with their ability to shapeshift into human form. Our guest this week, John Kachuba, says that even though the concept of shapeshifters has been with us for thousands of years, they have not been relegated to some mythological closet but are very much with us today. Shapeshifters represent the fantasy of being able to turn one’s self into something more attractive, more powerful, which is reflected in the popularity of such books as Twilight (the books and the television series), Harry Potter andThe Hunger Games. John is the author of such books as: "Ghosthunting Ohio: On the Road Again"; "Dark Entry"; and "Shapeshifters: A History." Website: johnkachuba.com

Utah's Strange Legacy: Skinwalker Ranch, Shapeshifters, Men In Black, UFO Bases

Exploring the Bizarre (KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz are mesmerized by ERICA LUKES as she reveals stunning details of her ongoing research into the weird happenings taking place in the Uintah Basin. With her proximity in the state of Utah, Erica has had a persistent interest in the Skinwalker Ranch, a location of regularly reported paranormal activity, where she has witnessed unexplainable phenomena herself. Erica has assembled several decades worth of case reports of mass UFO sightings, alien abduction reports and animal mutilations from her years of field research in and around the ranch. She has studied at length the papers of the late phenomenologist Dr. Frank Salisbury of the Department of Plant Science at Utah State University. Salisbury contributed important work on UFO reports in the state with the help of "Junior" Hicks, a well-respected UFO investigator. Erica Lukes is an artist and host of her own radio show, “UFO CLASSIFIED,” heard on KCOR Digital Radio Network. Since childhood she has been fascinated with imagery of how vehicles and beings from space might appear and she pursued this interest with determination. This, coupled with her long-term interest in strange phenomena of nature, led her to take her first steps into radio in 2014 by developing her own programming and interview techniques of known figures in this topic. UFO reports became her specialty and she joined the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in 2014 as a field investigator. She eventually became its State Director for Utah. Within MUFON, she also became an associate producer for the MUFON Communications Team and a part of the MUFON Experiencer Research Team, having been cited for recognition of this work at both the 2014 and 2015 MUFON Symposia. Additionally, Erica was a team leader for "Project Orange," a program to study so-called "Balls of Light" phenomenon that have ramification in real world science in the form of ball lightning and other peculiar luminous phenomena. An offshoot of this was research into the luminous ball phenomena in Hessdalen, Norway where she conducted on-site research with the guidance of Hessdalen scientist Dr. Erling Strand. Hessdalen has been the site of strange luminous light ball sightings since the 1980s. http://www.ufoclassified.com/erica-lukes

You Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance -- In Haunted Hollywood!

Exploring The Bizarre hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcomes ghost hunter CRAIG OWENS who professes to have long been fascinated with Los Angeles and its forgotten or little known stories of the weird and unknown. Owen's had his own paranormal experience at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California where he witnessed a "shadow figure" that caused him to sleep with the light on for the next ten days. This experience, (and others), led to Craig's book, "Haunted By History," which is the result of three years of research with eight historic and allegedly haunted Southern California hotels along with staged photo shoots recreating the rumored apparitions. Craig also has the Facebook page “Bizarre Los Angeles,” started in 2010, which focuses on Old Hollywood personalities, forgotten tales and occasional ghost stories from around Los Angeles. This is more than just the spirits of Marilyn Monroe, Rock Hudson and Liberace -- we are dealing with. These are serious haunting that should be given serious attention, such as the spirit that Owens himself encountered in a Warner Brothers studio. Hollywood is indeed haunted!

ATTACK OF THE ORANGE ORBS

Exploring the Bizarre (http://KCORradio.com) hosts Tim Beckley and Tim Swartz welcome REGAN LEE. Strange orbs -- usually orange in color, but sometimes yellow, green or blue -- have been showing up in photos and on YouTube videos for the last couple of years in increasing numbers. Some are as small as a baseball, others could be 20-30 feet in diameter. They are NOT ball lightning or any other natural phenomena, but seem to be under intelligent control. Regan and her husband had a sighting of an orb some time back that included a period of missing time. She later had strange and frightening dreams which involved "aliens." Are these orbs spirits? Ultra-terrestrials in disguise? The conversation also gets around to reports of the female in white which some like the late contactee Dana Howard claim come from Venus, while other witnesses tie their sightings in with visions of the Virgin Mary. Google REGAN LEE to find her blogs (she has several). She has contributed to our books including "Alien Strongholds," "Mysteries of Death Valley," "Up Rainbow Hill," Free newsletter http://ConspiracyJournal.com
