New! Unidentified--The Air Force invents a UFO conspiracy

May 27, 2026

This time, we start telling the sad story of Paul Bennewitz, a brilliant if somewhat eccentric engineer and entrepreneur who shared his UFO findings with the government, only to have them use his fascination with these phenomena to drive him insane. The real object? Confusing the broader UFO community. It's a fascinating story, if a rather dark one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
