6: The Minutes of Our Mythology, Part 1: 1947 The Primer Year
12/29/20 • 74 min
1947 is considered to be the cornerstone of modern ufology. Most people know it for the Roswell crash or for Kenneth Arnold's sighting alone, but is there 1947 than we give it credit for? In this first of a two part series, I explore the fifteen minutes that changed the world and made flying saucers a house hold name. Join us as we explore the minutes that shaped our mythology.

7: Did He Come By UFO?: The Mysterious Disappearance and Rebirth of Jim Sullivan
In March of 1975, a singer/songwriter named Jim Sullivan walked into the desert and was never seen again. He had an unsuccessful career in music to this point and was looking for a chance to begin again. Many theories have been proposed to explain Jim's disappearance. Was he the victim of a family with mob ties? Was he killed by a pair of corrupt cops? Or could he have hitched a ride on a UFO, never to be seen again?
Tune in to hear Jim's story, and the story of Matt Sullivan who journeyed to find out just what happened, and to expose his music to a brand new audience.
