Close Encounters: UFOs in American History - Back Story

Here are four significant pieces dealing with UFO history. The recent revelations of multiple-radar, multiple-pilot witness military encounters with objects demonstrating almost incomprehensible capabilities never seem to come up in this first discussion. Nonetheless, historians and podcasters Nathan Connolly, Brian Balogh, and Ed Ayers provide an entertaining and informative, if at times light, review of various aspects of UFO history. The professors this trio interview afford fascinating insights into the folkloric, religious, African-American, and cult aspects of UFO belief. Popular Mechanics science writer Matt Blitz offers another look at Angels, Airships, and Aliens: The 3,500-Year History of UFO Sightings. The result is an interesting amalgamation that will at some times please, other times irk skeptics, "scientific ufologists" through "Ancient Astronauts" theorists, and grammarians all. Nick Redfern takes us back in time with UFOs, JFK and a Controversial Character. Nick's subject is Guy Banister, seen by some as a conspirator in the JFK assassination. But here Nick focusses upon Banister's earlier work as an FBI agent investigating UFO cases at the beginning of the modern UFO era. And Tristan Shaw profiles a figure perhaps even more colorful than Banister in Aladino Felix: From Contactee to Terrorist. Felix' remarkable and very bizarre career also left "behind several loose ends." (WM)
