Aliens, Crashes, and the Origins of the Modern UFO Mythos | UAP

SUBSCRIBE TO ‘THE MICAH HANKS PROGRAM’: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

Throughout the final decades of the 20th century, strange beliefs began to pervade the UFO research community. Ranging from stories of alleged flying saucer crashes, to strange encounters with “malevolent” alien beings, these and other controversial narratives began to predominate the minds of many in the UFO field. Where did these ideas originate, and how have they continued to shape the modern UFO narrative?

Joining us this week to discuss the origins of such ideas is Charles Lear, an independent historical researcher and author of books that include his latest work, Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens: The Emergence of the Popular Modern UFO Mythos in the Late 20th Century. We explore these ideas, and much more, on this week’s edition of The Micah Hanks Program.
