UFOs in Wartime: Mack Maloney

My guest tonight is MACK MALONEY the author of the book: "UFOs In Wartime: What They Don't Want You To Know".

Maloney is the author of 40 books, including two bestsellers. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He went through public schools there, and then graduated from Suffolk University in Boston with a degree in journalism. He went on to graduate school at Emerson College earning a degree in filmmaking. He then worked in corporate public relations for the General Electric Company before leaving to write full-time.

The vast majority of Mack’s work has been in military fiction. However, because several of his highly popular novels deal with the military and UFOs, when he approached his editor about writing a nonfiction book on the topic, he got the immediate go ahead.

Mack gathered a mountain of information from many sources and spoke with some highly acclaimed UFO researchers including Jerry Clark, Keith Chester, Richard Haines, and Stan Gordon. He also spoke with a number of contacts in the U.S. military and people connected with U.S. intelligence services. It took about two years to distill all this information down to a collection of about 70 episodes detailing military encounters with UFOs from 1909 up to the first Gulf War. That’s what makes up “UFOs in Wartime – What They Didn’t Want You To Know.”

Hologram Rock Stars

What would you say if I told you thousands of people in Japan, and California, attended a rock concert where the star was a seven-foot tall anime character? And not only was the singer not human, but she was a hologram...Would that creep you out? Or, would you think "Wow, technology is so cool"?

Transformer Light Show

This video was uploaded on Youtube by Brian Luenser. This is what Brian has to say: This is the aftermath of a pretty brutal thunderstorm in Fort Worth Texas on May 10, 2011. It was taken from my balcony on the 34th floor of a building in Fort Worth. Though I thought we were at war or was terrorism, it was a massive series of downed 12,470 volt power lines. As I took it with my 70-200 2.8L IS lens, it is farther away than it looks. (it is 5 miles away) That is why there are not explosion sounds. This was a very well documented event. I was on my balcony to take lightning pictures (Yes, not smart) and this started happening in front of me. I turned my camera (Canon 5d MkII) to video mode and let it roll.

From Space, With Love

Here's an amazing scene from an ultra-rare, kitschy, trippy, Soviet-style SF film Ikarie XB 1 (aka Ikaria XB1, Icarus XB1 and Voyage to the End of the Universe). This is Czechoslovakia's first science fiction film. Made in 1963, the movie takes place in the year 2163 and tells the story of Starship Ikaria XB 1's voyage to Alpha Centari. ("Voyage" was the savagely cut, English dubbed version released by American International Pictures.)

In this remarkable scene, the explorers enter a derelict 20th Century space craft littered with evidence of elitist immorality. The visuals are striking. Vacuum preserved corpses dressed in tuxedo and evening gowns who died in the middle of gambling and partying. The crew killed by their own chemical hand-weapons as they fought over dwindling oxygen. The ship laden with nuclear weapons---still active after centuries.

Ikarie XB 1 is an ambitious, thoughtful, intelligent film decades ahead of its time. It's an ultra-rare "must-see" for any serious SF fan. The film has high-concept elements galore: a trip to proxima centaura; time dilation; future foods, fashion, music and dance; first-contact protocols; increased longevity; artificial intelligence; bulky socialist robots.

It's said the screenplay was inspired by the work of Stanislaw Lem, including "The Magellanic Cloud" from 1955. (Credit: trekfancvg)

I Survived The Bermuda Triangle

My guest tonight is BRUCE GERNON. Mr. Gernon is the only person in the world to witness what creates the Bermuda Triangle. Others have seen parts of this phenomenon and some have seen it but vanished. Gernon is the only one to see this from its birth stage through its mature stage and enter the heart of the Timestorm and escape through a Tunnel Vortex and experience a time warp of 30 minutes forward in time and 100 miles forward in space.

After 31 years of research Gernon discovered how he had flown those 100 miles in such a short time and never seen the Earth or sky around him. He was captured by what he calls Electronic Fog. There are dozens of planes and boats that have been in this fog through out history. And there are dozens more that have crashed because it can induce spatial disorientation. Many have disappeared and some have even disintegrated. All of the people that have been in this fog thought they were traveling THROUGH the fog. Until Gernon’s theory, no one ever realized it is similar to Saint Elmo’s Fire; it attaches itself to the vessel and travels WITH it.

What we learn from intrepid adventures like Christopher Columbus, Charles Lindbergh, and Bruce Gernon-the co-author of THE FOG-who survived frightening encounters in the Triangle and lived to tell the tale?

THE FOG presents pilot Bruce Gernon’s groundbreaking new theory of the Bermuda Triangle, based upon his own firsthand experiences, eyewitness reports from other close-call Triangle survivors, and leading scientific research.

But the notorious Bermuda Triangle hasn’t given up all its secrets. THE FOG also explores the Triangle’s connection to UFOs, a secret navy base, and a possible link to a vanished ancient civilization. www.electronicfog.com

"Undercity" Exploring New York City's Tunnels

My guest tonight is STEVEN DUNCAN. Mr. Duncan is an urban historian & photographer. “Undercity” is a mini documentary made by Mr. Duncan and videographer Andrew Wonder about exploring NYC subway and train tunnels and climbing bridges. Their adventures were recently featured in the New York Times and on NPR. In Steve Duncan's own words: "I try to peel back the layers of a city to see what's underneath. From the tops of bridges to the depths of sewer tunnels, these explorations of the urban environment help me puzzle together the interconnected, multi-dimensional history and complexity of the great metropolises of the world." www.undercity.org

Two Years In The Making

I know B-films are bad. But, this has to be a comedy. Aside from the wooden acting and breaking into an operatic song, watch for the little nuances and props. Gotta love those clunky robots.
